Warning: This is slash (Harvey x Mike). Don't like, don't read.

A/N: I decided to stall a little. Give everyone a reprieve before the big confrontation. Here's what Harvey's been doing while Mike was on his quest for the truth and crying his eyes out.


Chapter 26

Harvey looked at his phone. What is Mike thinking? First he takes off in the middle of the afternoon and now he won't answer his phone? Again? Harvey thinks to himself that Mike better not be hanging out with Trevor again.

He calls out to Donna, "Donna, did you find him yet?"

"He's not answering but I did get through to that friend of his, Trevor. And despite all my threats and promises to hurt him if he lies, Trevor swore up and down that Mike wasn't with him and hadn't contacted him today."

Harvey put his face in his hands and rubs his forehead with the tips of his fingers. God, Mike gave him such headaches. 'I swear, if I didn't love him...'

"It's Donald Jensen for you," Donna said over the speaker.

"Put him through... Donald, I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. Look we have a possible lead that someone might have doctored the pictures and forged documents, but I'm still looking into it and wanted to gather some information before I talked to you about it."

"There's no need," Jensen sighs. "I know what happened."

"You know what happened? What do you mean?" Harvey asked.

"It was my ex-wife. I thought she had gotten past the bad feelings from the divorce because she always appeared satisfied with the settlement she received and we had even become friendly again, but apparently she's always hated my new wife and had bore a grudge against me this entire time. And she couldn't accept that my new wife would inherit more than what she received in her settlement if I died. So while she played nice, she was plotting behind my back. She figured that any case the DA built wouldn't be enough to put me in prison, but, the investigation would cause a big enough scandal to destroy my company's reputation and cause me to lose my business," Jensen explained.

"How did you find out about all this? I'm hard pressed to believe she'd go this far to ruin you," Harvey said, stunned.

"You're telling me," Jensen agreed. "She got the Hampton's house and kept the staff. But seeing as I still pay their wages, when one of the maids overheard her on the phone, she contacted me immediately. I got the call just after I spoke with Mike earlier today."

"You spoke with Mike, what about?"

"He just wanted to make sure I was covered for each date. He's a really good kid Harvey."

"Yeah, he is," Harvey smiled to himself.

"So after I got the call, I contacted the PI I use to do a little digging and it didn't take him long to hit pay dirt. She really didn't bother covering her tracks well. I'm going to have him send you everything he found and if you could take care of it for me..."

"Absolutely Donald. The DA's office is closed now, and I don't want to talk to anyone but the lead investigator so we can keep this as quiet as possible. But first thing Monday morning, I will go see him myself," Harvey assured him.

"Thanks Harvey, and listen. I don't have much love for my ex, but I did wrong her four years ago and she is the mother of my children and it would hurt them if she went to prison, so anything you could do for her would be appreciated."

"I'll do everything I can. If she has a clean record, we can probably get her probation and community service. Of course there is sure to be a hefty fine."

"I'll pay it. Thank you Harvey."

When Harvey hung up, he got up and walked over to Donna, "I assume you were listening."

"Oh you bet your last dollar I was," she said.

"I've known Jensen since before the divorce and his ex-wife was always so nice. I mean, she seemed genuinely nice," Harvey was still trying to wrap his head around the news. "I can't believe she'd go to such lengths to get back at him. That divorce must have done a number on her."

"Hey, you know that saying...Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And if my husband of 17 years left me for a woman half my age and with half my brain, I'd probably go nutso too," Donna defended Jensen's ex. "Although, I'd definitely have had a better plan and would not have gotten caught."

Harvey laughs, "Well, I already know not to make you angry."

"Smart man." Then at seeing the lingering worry about Mike, Donna suggests, "Maybe he went home early and forgot to tell you or sent a note that some idiot forgot to deliver."

"Yeah, I'm sure he's fine. And since Jensen broke his own case, I figured I can leave early and go home to check and see if he's there. By the way, did you pick it up yet?"

Donna clapped her hands with glee and hands him a small box, "Yes, I did. So, tonight's the night, huh? I still can't believe that you ordered that. I mean, I get that you're all touchy feely now, but seriously, that is just too sappy."

Harvey arched a brow, "What can I say, Mike brings out the sap in me." Harvey furrows his brows immediately and orders, "Do not repeat that to anyone."

"Trust me, I won't. I'd lose clout if anyone thought my boss was turning to a big softy."

"I'm not soft," Harvey said defensively. "I just –"

"You just love Mike. And that's ok. I'm actually very happy for you. You could stand to be a little caring," Donna said. "As long as you're still a hard ass in the court room."

"That will never change," Harvey smirked. He packed up his briefcase, bid Donna a good weekend and headed home. Home, it was no longer just where he went after work. Now, he couldn't picture his home without Mike in it.

He had also decided to tell Mike the truth of what happened on what should have been their first date. Harvey knew Mike would be upset, but was fairly certain he would be able to make Mike get over any unhappiness from the situation once he gave him his gift and told Mike that he loved him.

Harvey looked at the box in his hand. He couldn't wait for Mike to open it and see the look on his face. He smiled to himself, anticipating the moment.

Unbeknownst to Harvey, Mike was already waiting for him, and unfortunately for Harvey, Mike had quite the opposite look on his face.


Poor oblivious Harvey. I think we all know what's coming up next...

More coming soon! Kindly review =)
