"Stop Harvey from doing what?" Jessica asks Donna confused.
"Mike installed a security camera in his apartment the night you called him into the office to talk, he connected it directly to his work laptop which is in his desk draw, it has the footage of his attack on it he told Harvey, he's on his way to the office now to get Mike's laptop and watch the footage you have to stop him from doing that, you know Mike's injuries that attack had to be bad you know what Harvey gets like when someone hurts someone that he loves if he watches that tape you know as well as I do that all Harvey is going to care about is getting revenge, get the laptop before he does stop him from watching it." Donna tells Jessica.
"I will." Jessica says only imagining what Harvey would do if he sees that tape "How's Mike?" Jessica asks concerned.
"Trying to follow Harvey he's not getting too far though." Donna says Jessica.
"Keep, an eye on him I'll call back once I've convinced Harvey not to watch the tape." Jessica tells Donna hanging up the phone and leaving her office planning to grab the office then keep it in her office as she knows that if he can't find the laptop in Mike's desk to her is the first place that Harvey will come. She opens her door to leave she finds Hardman standing there.
"Daniel." Jessica says in a fake pleasant voice.
"Jessica you weren't leaving where you, we have a meeting that you have been putting off for days." Daniel says entering Jessica's office.
"It's been a busy few days, there is something that I have to quickly handle before we can talk though so if you wouldn't mind waiting I'll be back in a few minutes." Jessica tells Hardman.
"I do mind, you have been putting this off for days I have talked to your assistant you have the next forty minutes free so that you can catch me up on every case that the firm my firm is currently handling." Hardman says sitting down at Jessica's desk.
Jessica sighs and looks at her watch Harvey has to come here from the hospital that takes. It will be cutting it close but she should be able to deal with Hardman before getting the laptop before Harvey. She closes her door and heads over to her desk and picks up the file of things that she wants to go through with Daniel before sitting down determine to do it as quick as possible.

While Jessica is dealing with Hardman Harvey is making his way to the firm. Ray picked him up at the hospital and they are currently sitting in morning traffic. During the trip Harvey can't help but think about what he is going to see. He knows Mike's injuries so he knows that Trevor was vicious in his attack but did Mike fight back? Did he manage to hurt that bastard at all, privately Harvey hopes that he did.
After a while Ray pulls up out in front of Pearson Hardman.
"I'll let you know when I need picking up." Harvey tells Ray as he exits the car and heads inside as he walks into the building and down to the associate area Harvey is well aware that people are looking at him and he's not surprised it rare for him to come in not wearing a suit let alone also looking like he hasn't showered for days, which he hasn't but they don't know that.
He heads down to the associates cubical and uses the spare key to the desk he has as Mike's boss to open the bottom draw and pull out the laptop once he gets it he closes the draw and heads us to his office. During the trip up there he runs into Louis.
"You do realises that we have a dress code not to mention a hygiene one." Louis says to Harvey frowning when he sees him.
"Go to hell Louis." Harvey tells him walking right by him.
"No you're going to listen to me." Louis says standing in front of Harvey "You think you're above the rules but you coming to work looking like that puts us all in a bad light, it's a disgrace." Louis says to Harvey.
Harvey can feel his anger building and he can tell that it is very close to exploding "You really don't want to piss me off Louis not today because I will kick your ass up and down this corridor. I look like this because I have spent the past three days at the hospital with Mike waiting for him to wake up, his heart stopped beating he almost died all because of someone he once considered his best friend beat him almost to death I haven't showed, barely sleep and been basically living off of coffee for the past few days so I really don't want to deal with you and your shit right now I want to get the proof that will put the person who attacked Mike away and then get back to him, so you can either get out of my way or I can make you." Harvey tells Louis angrily.

Jessica finishes her meeting with Daniel before she heads down to the Associate area hoping that Harvey hasn't been yet. When she gets down there she checks Mike's desk and discovers that the laptop isn't there she realises that Harvey must have been here she looks around the room and she notices one of the other associates watching her one she recognizes as Louis's "You has Harvey been down here at all?" She asks him.
"Yes Ms Pearson ma'am, he got something out of Ross's desk and left." Kyle tells her.
"How long ago?" Jessica asks standing wanting to know if she has a chance to stop him before he watches the footage.
"A few minutes ago ma'am." Kyle tells her.
Jessica heads out of the associate area walking fast not running which would be inappropriate for a managing partner just walking fast up stairs to Harvey's office where she guesses that he would have taken the laptop.
When she gets to the floor she sees Louis standing and staring at Harvey's retreating figure heading into his office.
"Jessica." Louis says as she walks past.
"Not now Louis." Jessica says following Harvey.
Jessica enters Harvey's office and closes the door behind her realising that she has made it on time that he wouldn't have had time to find and watch the footage.
"You don't want to see that." Jessica tells Harvey.
"I have to Jess." Harvey tells her and Jessica is surprised as Harvey doesn't call her Jess much anymore he called her that when they first meet when he was a loss screw up kid and now days the only times he does is when he is feeling like that loss kid again.
"No you don't." Jessica says walking over and standing behind him "You knew what happened to Mike watching that will only cause you more pain, and you've been through enough pain the last few days." Jessica tells him putting her hand on his shoulder.
"What about Mike he's been through more pain than I have in the last few days I need to know everything so that I can help him, I don't want to screw this one up Jess." Harvey tells her.
"I get that you want to help him Harvey but what will watching that tape do, if you watch it its worse than you have been picturing what are you going to do?" Jessica asks Harvey.
"I'll find Trevor and kick his ass, but that's the thing Jessica nothing can be as bad as what I have been picturing I need to know so that I can stop picturing it." Harvey tells Jessica.
Jessica sighs understanding where he is coming from "Let's make a deal, we will watch that tape, together then we will take it to the police station and they will find and deal with Trevor, you won't go after him instead you will go back to hospital to be with the man you love and help him get better." Jessica tells him.
"I don't think I can promise that I won't go after Trevor and not be lying." Harvey tells Jessica.
Jessica sighs she didn't think it would be that easy so then she decides to try another tactic "Think about it Harvey if you go after Trevor you're just going to get yourself in trouble or you're going to get yourself hurt or worse you've seen what he has done to Mike you know what he is capable of. Yes going after Trevor might make you feel better in the moment but then what if you go after Trevor no matter the outcome its likely you're going to be separated from Mike and I know that's the last thing you want but if you just give this to the police they can focus on finding and dealing with Trevor, you can focus on Mike and helping him to get better." She explains to him.
Harvey is silent for several minutes and Jessica can tell that he is thinking about what she said.
"Ok we do it your way." Harvey tells her as he finds the right place in the footage.
Jessica lets out a sigh of relief glad that she got Harvey to see sense she would have preferred that Harvey not watch the footage at all but she realised that he wasn't going to let that go that no matter what he was going to watch the tape.
"He's Mike entering his apartment that morning." Harvey says.
"Are you positive you want to watch that?" Jessica asks Harvey.
"Yes." Harvey answers pressing play.
Harvey and Jessica watch in shocked silence the whole thing they watch Mike come home they watch him go to the door and not answer it and they see Trevor break the door in and attack Mike. Both of them becoming beyond angry and upset as they watch what Trevor did.
"He only got one punch in, that bastard continued to kick him even after Mike was down." Harvey says angry as tears roll down the side of his face.
"I know." Jessica tells Harvey giving his shoulder a squeeze also upset about what they just saw.

Donna is sitting with Mike in the seat that has been hers for the last few days watching him making sure that he doesn't once again try and fail to follow Harvey.
"Jessica will stop him." Donna tells Mike.
"What if she can't what if he watches that tape and goes after Trevor and gets himself arrested or worse." Mike tells Donna worried.
"Jessica will talk to him, if she can't get him not to watch the tape she will make sure that he doesn't go after Trevor she will make sure of that." Donna tells Mike reaching out and grabbing his hand.
"I hope so I don't want him to get hurt or ruin his life trying to defend me." Mike tells Donna.
"Jessica won't let him do something stupid." Donna tells the associate.
"He does stupid things all time that Jessica can't stop him from doing." Mike reminds Donna.
"You would be amazed about what Jessica can get him to do." Donna tells Mike but before Mike can respond her phone rings.
"Hallo, yes, ok oh thank heavens, see you soon." Donna tells the person she is on the phone with.
"What happened did Jessica stop him?" Mike asks once again winching as he moves and fighting to keep his eyes open.
"Harvey and Jessica are on their way to drop the tape to the police station they did watch it but Jessica managed to convince him not to go after Trevor they will be back here soon." Donna tells Mike.
"Is he ok?" Mike asks sounding sleepy.
"Sounds like it." Donna tells Mike who closes his eyes "Go to sleep I'll wake you up when Harvey gets back." Donna tells Mike.
"Thank you Donna." Harvey says as he falls asleep.
"Any time kid, Harvey isn't the only one who is protective off you." Donna says to the sleeping man.
