Trying to write and post on my phone is a huge mess. That is why this chapter is so late. My computer is dead, completely. But, I will beg and plead with everyone I know to borrow one so that you all recieve regular updates. For now, I hope this was worth the wait.

On that note, this is why I haven't answered any of the reviews I have recieved lately. I love all of you for them and I will try to answer them as soon as I can. Thank you everyone that left me a review or added this story to their alert.

Hollowgirl15, I love you. Mei Neko, I love you. You are both beyond awesome.

Kyle who had spent the entire day trying to get on Donna's good side, which was key to getting on Harvey's, was jumping at shadows. Every time he spoke to her, she looked at him and told him that she knew exactly what he was trying to do. It was starting to make him wonder if Donna could read minds.

Rachel was another problem, but in a different way. She kept appearing at the edge of Kyle's vision, distracting him from his work to watch her pass by with a small wave or a flirty smile. He was convinced that her sudden change in interest was due to the fact that eventually, everyone fell for his charm. Sitting there in the conference room surrounded by paperwork, working for the best closer in in town, with a beautiful girl showing interest, and the man was floating on his pride.

Taking a short break to try and convince Donna to allow him to work in Harvey's office, an idea which was vetoed fast enough to make Kyle's head spin, but that he chalked up to her being involved in her phone call, he decided that he should share his great fortune with the person that inspired his brilliant move.

He knocked on the glass door respectfully, because it was suicide to do otherwise, and entered, pride radiating from his face.

"Well, someone is in a very good mood. What do you want?"

Kyle stood there, at the very corner of Louis Litt's desk, grinning, and made his first mistake. "I did it."

"Did what? I didn't give you any work today." The shorter man's nasally tone was bored.

"I took care of my opposition. I won." Kyle shifted a bit at Louis' look.

"So you won a case, congratulations. Wait, you didn't have a case. What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about my opposition here." Kyle dropped his voice. "I got rid of Mike Ross."

Louis' face contorted, a very unflattering expression. "You got rid of Mike?" He parroted.

"I did." Kyle stood still, confident that the man in front of him would be the only one that would understand Kyle's actions. Louis was known throughout the firm as a ruthless man.

"Just exactly how did you manage to weasel your way into Harvey's good graces?" For a minute, he was pleased. He never expected Kyle to have actually managed to do it.

"I blackmailed Mike into doing my work." Kyle dropped his voice, slightly leery of admitting it aloud, but unable to refrain from doing so, driven by his ego. "Mike started to protest and... he ended up in an accident."

"An accident? Physical violence is now the way we handle things." Louis chided lightly, making plans already how to lure Mike with sympathy. "Where is he now?"

"Harvey? Oh a meeting."

"Not Harvey. Mike. Send him to my office."

Kyle blinked. "He's not here. I don't know where he went after the car hit him."

Underhanded tactics were something that Louis was very familiar with but nothing could have prepared the junior partner for the lengths that Kyle had gone to. "Are you telling me that you arranged to have Mike hit by a car?" His voice was carefully neutral, not wanting to spook the associate until he had the full story.

Kyle however shrugged. "Well, it wasn't my original plan, but he said he was going to go to Miss Pearson because he didn't like anyone threatening his grandmother." Kyle rolled his eyes, completely unaware of how deep he was digging his hole. "The car had just turned the corner when I pushed him into the street. It wasn't going that fast, he'll be fine."

"I see. Go on now, and send Mike in here as soon as he arrives." Louis kept his expression blank until Kyle had left, still proud of his 'win' over his rival. Louis waited an entire minute, before leaving as well, heading in the direction of Jessica's office. Like Kyle, he was too wrapped up in his thoughts to notice Rachel, who had ducked into a nearby office, slightly shaken by what she had overheard.

Louis stood just outside of Jessica's office for a moment. He knew that he was in a large amount of trouble but hopefully by going straight to her, it would convince her that he had no idea the lengths Kyle went to. Knocking softly on the door, he went in, stopping near her desk. "I need to talk to you."

"Can it wait? I have a lot to do." She glanced up, and stilled. "What is it, Louis?" Her tone was suspicious.

"Before I explain, I want you to know that I had no idea what was being planned and if I did I would have tried to stop it." Louis paused. "Kyle Durant assaulted Mike Ross."

"How do you know that?" THe suspicion was gone and anger was evident. Jessica knew that Donna had done everything in her power, which was legendary, to insure that no one knew about the incident.

"He came to my office and told me. He had asked me a while ago how to advance in the firm. He said that his work was being overshadowed by Mike's. I told him that he needed to outmaneuver him. Make certain that people like you saw the depth of his investment in the firm. I had no idea that he would go so far. He told me that he had gotten rid of Mike and I asked how he had convinced Harvey to take him as his associate, because I assumed that was what he was talking about. Kyle told me that he blackmailed Mike into doing his work. He didn't say how and I didn't have time to ask. He then explained that Mike threatened to go to you with what Kyle had done and he pushed Mike in front of a car. He says he doesn't know what happened to him after that."

Jessica scowled, "You, Harvey and I are going to have a long talk when this is over, Louis. For right now, you are going back to your office and write down everything you told Kyle that day and exactly what he admitted to you just now. I will handle Kyle."

"You already knew." It wasn't a question.

"Yes. Harvey saw it happen. Both he and Donna are with Mike at the hospital. He is in critial condition and I don't have to tell you what can happen because of your involvment in this." The managing partner snapped. "No one is to hear about this, and if Kyle tells you anything else, you come directly to me. I will decide everything else after Mike wakes up and Kyle is handled properly." She waved a hand, dismissing the man and reached for her phone.

Louis, slunk out of the office, knowing that the best thing for him was to do exactly what Jessica said without complaint. He knew exactly what this could result in. Mike could have him fired, possibly disbarred. He could sue the firm and win fairly easily. That's not counting whatever Harvey and Donna convinced him to do.

Donna was still sitting next to Mike's bed, one had resting on his head. Harvey had left the room a few minutes ago, to calm down, according to him. She knew better, he was going to reread that note and stew about it. Both had agreed, after they were convinced that Mike was calm, Gran was not to know exactly how Mike ended up in this situation. The two of them felt enough guilt without sharing it with an eighty year old woman.

Donna was a master at keeping secrets, it was something that no one would ever be able to do better than she could. This was why the woman had two phones. One for the important people in her life, her parents, sister, Rachel, one of the best friends Donna had ever had, Harvey, who was like an annoying older brother, and as soon as possible Mike. Her other phone was for everyone else. So when the jingle of that important phone when off, she was up and scross the room in a flash, because if someone was calling it then it was important.

She didn't even look at the id flashin on the screen. "This is Donna."

"It's Rachel. Donna, Kyle just told Louis what he did!" The paralegal's voice was hushed but urgent. "Louis went to Jessica, but I have no idea what he told her."

"I swear if this is Louis' fault, I'll make him reget it nearly as much as Kyle!" It took a great deal to anger Donna. She pretended that nearly everything made her mad, but most of the time it was because of the reactions that people had to her anger. It was always a great source of entertainment. But, the same list of people that had her private ohone number were people that Donna did not like to be messed with, in any way.

"From what I heard, Louis didn't tell him directly to do that. I think Louis was just being a jerk and Kyle took whatever he said and ran with it. Ugh, I can't believe I just defended Louis." Rachel's voice was disgusted. "Donna, what do I do now? He confessed, just not to me."

"Keep an eye on him and as soon as you can, talk to Jessica and find out exactly what was said. Then... if you can handle it, come to the hospital, you can tell us both here. Harvey isn't leaving tonight, and I planned to stay for a while."

"I'll be there." Rachel stated firmly. "Mike would be there for me."
