Mr. and Mrs. Specter: New Ventures

Chapter 16

Harvey was shown into Allison Holt's spacious office on the 30th floor of the building around the corner from PearsonSpecterLitt's building.

"Well, well, if it isn't the great Harvey Specter come to see me personally. I'm not sure if I should be flattered or just not surprised. What I don't understand is why would your junior partner sabotage your own wife's yoga studio with a bomb? I thought Mike Ross was a bit more smarter than that and then I thought..." Allison trailed off.

Harvey stood up. "Well, number one. Whatever you have on Mike he isn't the guy who set up the bomb. If you really had good evidence you would have had the Feds arrest Mike by now. I just left him in Donna's office."

"Oh, yes, I read where she has been promoted to COO. That's a big jump from legal assistant to COO," Allison remarked. Tall and a redhead like his wife, Harvey thought Allison had not changed too much at all. He did notice some family pictures around her office. Apparently she had had a family just like Harvey since the last time and it looks like her husband was not any lawyer that Harvey knew.

"Allison. Donna knew nothing about any of this. It's bullshit," Harvey said slamming down the legal packet onto Allison's desk.

Allison stood up to her full height and looked Harvey in the eye. He had not changed too much physically. He was still tall, blonde, with those dark eyes. He looked a tad older but Allison had heard he had had some physical scares this year. He was a father, too, now like she was a mother now. So if anything she could not believe he would be playing fast and loose with his children's mother livelihood or life.

"Allison, Donna is not responsible for any of the damage to that building. I had a signed document from your clients disclaiming any implication that Donna was responsible. So we were surprised when we received this suit this morning."

Allison dressed in her dark blue dress sat back in her chair and just looked at Harvey for a couple of seconds as if she were assessing him for a meal.

"What do you have on Mike and Donna, Allison?"

"We have security footage from a few days before the studio opened. It shows that Mike Ross made himself known as a Fire Company employee with a badge and talked his way into the electrical room, the kitchen and played with the fire extinguishers and checked the bathrooms as well as the IT room. He then returned to the kitchen and planted the bomb. He is not a licensed Fireman nor is he employed by the county. He made himself known to Amelia Dayton that he was there to make an inspection hours before the bomb exploded. I don't get it."

Harvey said harshly, "Listen to yourself, Allison! That doesn't make any sense. Mike Ross has no reason to sabotage Donna's former business nor was he put up to it for some inane reason like insurance fraud! I need a copy of that security footage for discovery so I can build a defense, you know."

"You don't need it yet for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I am sure the authorities are coming for Mike any minute."

Rachel and Mike had arrived home and were just sitting down to eat with Jamie when there was a knock on their home's door.

"Must be Harvey. He said he and Donna would stop by on their way home to let me know what happened with Allison Holt."

Rachel had gone to the door and opened it. She gasped and put her hand to her mouth as two Federal Agents stood there. Both men dressed in black. One man was bald and much older than Rachel and the other a man with thick full black curly hair around Rachel's age.

"Ma'am, are you Mrs. Michael J. Ross?" the bald man asked her politely.

"Yes, what is all this about?" Rachel asked as the men rushed by her to the dining room where Mike sat holding his daughter.

"Sir, please put down your daughter and let's do this without a large issue," the bald one told Mike.

"What am I being charged with?" Mike asked.

"Domestic terrorism and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud."

"Look, sir, I don't want to humiliate you in front of your wife. So just come with us to the courthouse."

Mike handed Jamie to his wife and kissed her little face and then kissed Rachel a little longer.

"Mike, I'm your lawyer. I'm coming with you."

"No, call Harvey. You're too close to this." Mike ventured to say.

Rachel brooked no words and said, "We'll both be there."

Donna and Harvey were at home. Donna was rocking Kenzie as she was cutting a particularly bad tooth and had been a bit clingy needing her mom. Donna was still dressed in her work dress but had put a warmed cloth diaper over her shoulder giving Kenzie some extra padding so her little cheek would not get scratched from the rough material of Donna's dress. Donna had rubbed a bit of baby Ambesol on her gums and if she had not calmed down Donna's next move was some Macallan 18 in her bottle. However, there had been no need to take relief that far as Kenzie was starting to doze in her mother's arms. Donna smiled at her little pumpkin and brushed back her red curls. Donna's heart was always so full when she gazed on her children because she never thought she would have this or at least have it with the man of her dreams.

Speaking of Harvey, he sat next to Donna on the couch. He leaned over the coffee table where papers were strewn. Most of the paperwork led nowhere. Since it had been a civil suit the criminal suit was a real surprise. Allison did not need to show them the evidence she had yet, there was still two weeks until that was necessary. However, Harvey had been shown a clip of the security tape. It was Mike who had entered and shown the passes and the badge but the only other thing one could see from the other tape was a view from behind of a man roughly the same build and age as Mike busy doing something with his hands.

"This is bullshit!" Harvey yelled at Allison in the conference room. "You can't even see the guys face on the latter part of the tape. This looks like it was contrived to look like Mike Ross."

"You're not denying, though, that the first part of the tape is Mike?"

"No, I'm not because as I said he went there as a courtesy to me. He had all the official badge and paperwork needed."

"So why didn't Bruce see him?"

"There was no need to involve Bruce. Mike had the proper clearances. As you can see he had nothing else in his hands."

"He's wearing a green jumpsuit. He could have placed those items in his pockets."

"That's speculation. You don't have any of the physical evidence to show that."

"Well, let's put the evidence we have before a Grand Jury and see what they determine."

Harvey picked up the documents and folding them pushed them into his inner jacket pocket.

"See you in court, Allison."

Then Harvey left. He had to take a little walk to calm himself. He pulled at his tie and held his chest for a minute trying to decipher if he was just having a panic attack or an actual heart attack again. He was fine. In the last couple of months, his cardiologist gave him a clean bill of health and told him he could return to boxing as an outlet.

"Harvey?" Donna whispered to him not wanting to wake up Kenzie who had finally fallen asleep.

Harvey heard Donna and looked over at his youngest daughter and smiled. He gently kissed her on the forehead as Donna held her.

"She looks more like you every day," Harvey said laying a hand on Donna's elbow needing to feel her with him. "I'm sorry about today."

Donna leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I'm going to try to put her in bed. Then I'll come back out here and we can talk about what you found."

Donna slowly rose from the couch still cradling little Kenzie who was now a big seven months old. She had cut her first two teeth a couple of months ago and now it seemed she had this molar that would not let her have peace-or any of them. She had kicked her four inch heels off so she padded her way to the nursery. The monitor was focused on Kenzie's crib but now they had improved security to a closed circuit camera just like at their big house in West Chester. So if they were in the living room they could see anyone or anything in Kenzie's nursery. They had not gotten around to adding cameras yet to the other children's rooms.

After placing Kenzie in the crib and making sure she would stay asleep for a little while. Donna decided to change out of her dress and put on her pajamas. She went to the bathroom and washed her face removing what was left of her makeup. She put her hair up in a messy bun and padded her way back to the living room. On the way she checked on Mandy and Gordon both sound asleep.

Harvey turned as she came into the room. "Everything ok?"

"Yes, Kenzie's asleep and looks like she might be for a while. The other two are asleep as well. My mother must have worn them out today. They barely finished their homework before Mandy's eyes were drooping. Gordon fell asleep with a crayon in his hand."

Donna got up and poured herself a glass of wine and brought one for Harvey, too. He looked very tired to her. He had not told her yet what happened when he went to Allison's office. She knew from experience that the wheels in his mind were whirring with what he found in her office and how he was going to get Mike and her out of it.

Harvey smiled a little when Donna handed him the glass of wine. He sat back on the couch as Donna bending one leg sat next to him. She reached over to him cupping his jaw and turned him to look at her.

"I know I said we can talk about this now, but I think you need to get some rest. You look awfully tired."

Harvey took her hand from his face and kissed her palm and held her hand. He leaned over and tenderly put his fingers on her cheek and looked into those eyes that held his world in their gaze.

"You look a little tired yourself, Mrs. Specter. Are you saying you can sleep instead of hashing out this case?"

"Yes, we both need sleep, Harvey. Nothing's going to happen between now and the morning."

Then Harvey's phone rang.
