When Mike arrived at the courthouse the panic that he had seen in Donna's eyes was hitting him in waves. Something was going very wrong, Very fast. What if he had fucked up a case for one of the biggest clients of this firm? Although the case seemed trivial, maybe it had been a test case and if Jessica would lose, they would take all their business elsewhere. Maybe it would cost the company millions. 'Oh God Mike, you stupid ass! What did you do?' he asked himself while running up the stairs. When he looked around, he saw Jessica coming out of one of the courtrooms. He immediately saw it on her face. He was too late. They lost.

The frightening thing was that she not only looked angry, but she also looked sad.

She looked surprised when she saw him. She walked over. "What are you doing here?"

He hesitated. What was he supposed to say? 'Sorry Jes, but I was so caught up in getting laid by Harvey that I just screwed over your entire firm?'

"I found the rabbit."

"A little late, Mike. They found it first. We lost."

Mike felt that this nightmare was just beginning to take shape.

"Why did you not see it yesterday? Did you give up too soon?"

He nodded. "Yes, I did. I gave up too soon. I am so sorry."

She tried to decide whether to get mad at him or not. Not now. That had to wait. "I have to finish up some paperwork. I want you to go straight back to the office and tell Donna we lost."

"Donna? Not Harvey?"

"No Mike, not Harvey. You go and tell Donna."

When he walked over to Donna's cubicle, he felt like he did two nights ago in Harvey's condo. The temperature was freezing and he wanted to throw up.

He didn't see her at first. Then he saw her in Harvey's office. She was staring out of the window and Harvey was nowhere to be seen.

He entered. "Donna?" She immediately turned around and he could see the hope in her eyes die out when she looked at his face.

"Oh Jesus, Mike. Please tell me it's not true."

"I was too late"

She closed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.

"Where is Harvey? Is he still not in?"

"He was. But he went home again."

"Why?"

"I told him that you found the rabbit. But that you kept it to yourself."

He could feel how the floor was starting to dissolve beneath his feet.

"What did he say?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"He did not say a word. He just got up and left."

Part of him couldn't believe this was happening. What had been so goddamn important about this case?

Donna looked at him with a sad expression on her face. "Sit down, Mike. I will tell you exactly what you have done."

She stared out of the window as she continued.

"You know this case was about a legacy. You probably figured that this was one of the high-ranked CEO of some important client of this firm. And they just want to keep it out of the public eye, and have it dealt with, without tarnishing anyone's reputation."

Mike slowly nodded, dreading what was to come.

"It wasn't."

She continued while watching him closely now.

"A wife who cheated on her husband, now sues her own son because she wants something that her husband, who has passed away a few years ago, left to his son. The son isn't ready to give it up because he loved his father more than anyone in the world, and the legacy is something that is the very life of all they shared. Although probably worth some money, it's not about the money. If that was the case, he could, and would've given her more than enough, just to get rid of her.

It's about deliberately hurting her own son who, according to her, sold her out to her husband, because after watching her cheat on his father for years, he could not take it anymore and told him."

Donna could see that the realization of what was going on, hit him with full force. All the color was drained from his face. It all made sense now. The secrecy, Jessica, why Harvey was so on edge lately, why Jessica believed that Harvey should not handle this.

Mike never knew that you could actually feel your heart hurt. But you could. He wanted her to stop talking. He did not want to hear what was coming next. He figured that as long as she did not say it out loud, it was not true yet. 'Oh God please, please, this can't be happening.'

But she showed no mercy.

"Harvey just lost the one thing he treasures most in this world. He has to hand over all this", she pointed to Harvey's record collection, "to his cheating mother. Who betrayed him and his father. They found comfort and consolation through their shared love of music, Mike. It was all he had left from him. And now it's gone."

She picked up a record and caressed it with one finger.

"You didn't just tear down his wall, Mike. You used a sledgehammer on his heart."

Then she looked him in the eye and opened the door to his own personal ride in hell. "And now you have to go over to Harvey and tell him that we lost."
