They're still in the house when Price calls, neither of them wanting to raise any suspicions and Harvey can feel the room spin beneath his anxious pacing as Morgan calmly tries to negotiate with the son of a bitch.

All he wants to do is hear Donna's voice and make sure she's okay but there's nothing he can do except trust the detective, a man he's known less than twenty-four hours, and goddamn Mike cause he's here as well- protesting loudly that it's the right thing to do.

Well, screw the right thing to do.

He's never been rational when it comes to Donna. She's the exception to every single one of his rules and he slings a hand back through his hair reminding himself to breathe as Morgan pulls the phone down staring at the screen with a sigh. "What?" He immediately pounces on the agent, his voice rough as he towers over the couch. "Is she okay, what happened?"

Brady glances up, the call going largely as expected but leaving them without much room to maneuver. Price won't negotiate a hostage release until his demands are met but with Sullivan's approval hopefully they can navigate a way around them. "He wants to do an exchange down at the Pier tonight." It's going to be tight but he clutches his phone already formulating a plan. "We get him a passport and a yacht, he gives us Donna."

It seems too easy and Harvey's quick to put the pieces together, no specifics needed. "He wants to sail into international waters."

The agent nods. It's the only logical assumption and he's already done the calculations in his head. It'll be tight but apprehending the prick before he makes it is possible and in his opinion worth the risk. "We'll have roughly an hour before he's out of our jurisdiction but there's an unmarked rig the FBI uses where we can deploy from. I think Sullivan will go for it."

It's the first time Harvey let's himself take a proper breath but there's something in Morgan's expression that makes him tense; a catch and he stands nervously as the man pushes up to full height.

"Harvey-" he stalls, holding the lawyers gaze, "Price wants you there."

There isn't an ounce of hesitation in his response. He'll bend to whatever demands necessary to get Donna back safe and he'd rather be involved than sitting on the sidelines doing nothing. "Fine."

Brady squares his shoulders at the resolve, not sure the full weight of the request is being completely absorbed. Price is beyond pissed. The man wants revenge as much as he needs an escape and that's a dangerous combination. As a federal agent he's been trained to accept and respond to the risk but Specter hasn't and needs Harevy to realize they could be walking into a trap. "Your involvement is as personal as mine... and this isn't just about a free ticket, he wants blood."

The message is clear but it doesn't sway Harvey's determination in the slightest.

If he has to trade his life for Donna's, he will, it's as simple as that. "I'm going."

There's no waver, not even a seconds doubt, and Brady nods relying on his instincts to make the call. "Okay... I'll fill Sullivan in, tell him what we need." He propels forward stepping around Harvey with a steady exhale, surprised when the man's voice reaches out to him.

"Morgan..."

He stops, weighing the burner in his hand.

"Thank you."

The gratitude seems genuine and a sympathetic smile lifts the edges of Brady's lips as he angles back around. "You know... I had you pegged as am asshole-" he shrugs, trying to find a common ground where they can, "but she's lucky to have you."

It might be a back-handed compliment but Harvey takes it silently reminding himself that he doesn't have much of a choice.

Right now Donna needs him to be strong and that's exactly what he's going to do.

AN: I know this took a super long time to update and I'm sorry! Thought i'd just go for it with this chapter so I can get to the exciting stuff :) Action is the worst genre for me to write :P
