AN1: Thank you for the support. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.


It has been over a week since Harvey and Mike decided to tell Jessica about them, once Hardman is dealt with and after spending most of the weekend together Harvey and Mike returned to work and ever since they have been working very hard on the Folsom Foods case.

As he has learnt that Mike's request to hire an investigator was bounced back Harvey has headed to Jessica's office to talk to her about what is going on.

"We need to talk about resources." Harvey says as he walks into Jessica's office.

"We do. I hear clients' calls aren't being returned." Jessica comments as Harvey walks in.

"Hardman put seven cases on the fast track. The rest have to take a backseat." Harvey comments.

"We can't just hang our clients out to dry." Jessica informs Harvey.

"We won't. At ten am the library will be packed. Instead of returning one hundred and thirteen calls, I'm going to take an hour and give them the state of the union." Harvey explains.

"Oh, good." Jessica says, completely meaning that.

"Not good enough." Harvey says, "I need forty more contract lawyers, a dozen paralegals, and Mike just told me that that he couldn't even hire an investigator." Harvey informs Jessica.

"That's right. He can't." Jessica tells him.

"We have to."

"No."

"We need to invest in this." Harvey argues.

"Did you hear me? Jessica asks.

"We bit this off we need to chew." Harvey informs Jessica as they need to do more, they need to win this.

"You're like a toddler." Jessica argues, "No. All of these are bills." She says, referring to all of the papers that are spread out over her desk.

"We knew what we were getting into." Harvey argues.

"And then we took a hit from Monica Eton and hired the contract lawyers. We are out of money." Jessica reveals.

"Use the line of credit." Harvey suggests.

"It's gone." Jessica reveals.

"What?" Harvey asks shocked.

"They have evaluated the situation, and they knew we're bleeding." Jessica explains.

"So we've got seven cases in seven cities over the next two months. So what are you proposing I do?" Harvey asks curious and Jessica starts to explain her idea.


Ten minutes later Jessica has explained her idea to Harvey and Harvey has gotten Mike who was working alone in the library, and the two of them are walking through the corridors.

"We're consolidating resources." Harvey reveals.

"Mom didn't approve the investigator?" Mike asks, sounding a little surprised.

"Jessica approved anything we want, for one case." Harvey reveals.

"No, we have to fight them all." Mike argues.

"And we will." Harvey assures him.

"By letting six of them go?" Mike asks surprised, as that doesn't sound like Harvey.

"Do you know how we won World War two?" Harvey asks curious.

"Yeah, of course. Spock didn't let Kirk save Joan Collins from getting hit by that car." Mike answers.

"Wrong. We'd already won." Harvey explains, feeling pride at his boyfriend for making the Star Trek reference, "Kirk just would have changed the course of history."

"I accept that." Mike says with a nod.

"Eisenhower had 156,000 men for eight possible invasion points, which means…." Harvey says, walking around Mike, knowing that it will only take his boyfriend seconds to figure out the math.

"19,500 men per point." Mike realises, turning around to face Harvey.

"Otherwise known as nothing." Harvey realises,

"He had to put everything he had into one attack." Mike realises, walking around Harvey.

"Yeah." Harvey confirms as he and Mike turn to face one another.

"Normandy." Mike realises.

"So the question is, where the hell is our Normandy?" Harvey asks.

"That's easy. Bakersfield." Mike comments.

"Lowest percentage of female promotions." Harvey realises.

"Highest percentage of female applicants." Mike confirms.

"And Hanley Folsom's brother in law runs the plant." Harvey realises.

"Exactly." Mike confirms, "You want to launch an attack, you launch it from Bakersfield." Mike comments and Harvey nods and starts to walk away.

"Hey, am I Spock or Kirk?" Mike asks curious.

"Uhura." Harvey says, spinning around.

"Walked right into it." Mike realises as Harvey heads to his office.


Not long after Harvey walked into his office Donna walks in, and the second he sees her Harvey realises she looks tense.

"What's going on?" Harvey asks curious.

"There's been a complication with the client meeting." Donna reveals, not too long ago she would give Harvey a hard time about the complication, but now that Harvey is with Mike she knows that she has to give him a warning instead.

"What do you mean complication? Are there too many clients to fit in the library?" Harvey asks curious.

"We're using the conference room." Donna reveals.

"They won't all fit." Harvey comments.

"They will." Donna tells her, "Like I said, there's been a complication." She reveals.

"What complication?" Harvey asks.

"Scottie."


Even though Donna warned him it is still shocking for Harvey to find Scottie when he walks into the conference room.

"Scottie?" Harvey asks.

"Harvey." Scottie greats, turning around to face him.

"How's married life?" Harvey asks curious, honestly considering how long he and Scottie have been friends he is hoping that she is as happy as he is.

"I wouldn't know." Scottie admits.

"Divorced so soon?" Harvey asks.

"I never took the plunge." Scottie admits and Harvey can't help but give a smirk at that.

"Oh, get over yourself." Scottie informs him, "I know I came here last time with cold feed and blubbered over you like a fifteen-year-old, but It wasn't about you. It was about me." Scottie explains.

"So what's it about this time?" Harvey asks.

"Bakersfield."

"You are not taking my clients, Scottie." Harvey informs her.

"We already did." Scottie reveals, "Like taking candy from a little Harvard baby." Scottie says, putting on a childish voice.

"You just said it wasn't about me." Harvey argues.

"Harvey Bakersfield is everything and I've got them." Scottie reveals, "I've also got appointments with the rest. So I can spend time going after them and get twenty more, or you can let me have ten and we call it a day." Scottie informs Harvey.

"Well, why don't I give it all to you? My cases, office, my wallet, my keys…." Harvey says annoyed.

"It's not personal." Scottie argues, "It's just business."

"Yeah, my business."

"Good business." Scottie corrects.

"The answer is no." Harvey says.

"Well, there's no harm in asking, it's good to see you, though." Scottie says with a grin, "You look great."

"A bit overworked, but, not bad for a guy your age." Scottie says, causing Harvey to frown.


After his conversation with Scottie Harvey goes straight to Jessica in an attempt to get her to agree to the idea he has, not even realising that it is the reaction of the other Pearson that he is going to have to worry about.

"You've got to be kidding me. She took Bakersfield?" Jessica asks, once Harvey finishes explaining what is going on to her.

"And she's looking for ten more." Harvey reveals.

"A woman that goes after what she wants." Jessica realises with an amused look on her face.

"You sound impressed." Harvey realises.

"You don't." Jessica says, standing up and walking over to the couches.

"I already work with a woman like that every day." Harvey comments.

"Maybe I should have hired her when I had the chance." Jessica says as she walks across the room.

"What chance?" Harvey asks.

"There was one opening that year, and she was the best on paper, but I had already invested so much in you that I decided to get a return on my investment." Jessica says as she starts to read a file.

"Which is what I'm going to give you right now, even though you don't have any more money to invest." Harvey comments.

"Are you back to resources? Because I've had enough of hearing about our weakness." Jessica says, sounding annoyed.

"I'm talking about turning it into one of our strengths." Harvey reveals.

"I'm listening." Jessica says, putting down the file she is reading.

"Hardman knows we're tapped out. He's counting on it. What if we're flush." Harvey suggests.

"Are you talking about joining forces with her?" Jessica asks.

"With her firm, her infinitely deep-pocketed firm." Harvey explains.

"Harvey, she wanted ten cases. You're talking about sharing forty-five, and I've never known you to share." Jessica says, trying to figure out what Harvey is up to.

"They're based in London, so we'll be running the show. They'll just be signing the checks." Harvey says, doing so because it is what makes the most sense.

"And taking a cut of the winnings." Jessica points out.

"Exactly. Winnings. It's the best way to beat Hardman." Harvey says.

"And the side benefit is you don't lose to Scottie." Jessica says in a teasing tone of voice.

"Nothing wrong with a side benefit." Harvey says, meaning that as he really doesn't like to lose, especially to Scottie and he knows that with them on the same side they have a better chance of winning, as he heads to the door.

'Fine don't lose to her." Jessica tells him, "But you better make damn sure that you don't lose with her." Jessica says before Harvey leaves.


A little while after his conversation with Harvey about Normandy Mike walks into Hardman's old office/the new conference room, where he finds Katrina organizing boxes.

"Mom put you on this?" Mike asks curious.

"Yeah, about two seconds before I was going to ask on it." Katrina explains, looking at him, "She thinks, rightfully so, that the best thing for this case is if we work together."

"That it is." Mike confirms, "Just like our ADA days." He says with a smile

"Yep." Katrina confirms, smiling back at him, "Partners."

"Partners." Mike confirms, "Before we do anything we need to get Harvey some up to date statistics." He reveals.

"I'm guessing you already have them." Katrina comments.

"Almost."


Shortly after his conversation with Katrina Mike tracks down Harvey in the halls of Pearson Hardman.

"Good, I was just coming to find you. I have to tell you something." Harvey says, seeing Mike.

"Well I have to tell you something too." Mike reveals.

"Oh?" Harvey asks, interested.

"Katrina and I are working this together, meaning we're going to get things done quicker than you thought possible." Mike reveals as not only do he and Katrina work amazingly well together they walk incredible fast.

"That's great." Harvey says, meaning that.

"What's your news?" Mike asks curious.

"We're now working with Scottie." Harvey reveals, like it isn't at all a big deal.

"What?" Mike asks completely shocked, as he stops walking, "How'd that happen?" he asks as Harvey stops walking too.

"She stole Bakersfield so I suggested that we join our forces. We work together and her firm bankrolls us." Harvey explains, "It was a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself." He says, sounding rather proud.

"Great." Mike says sarcastically, "So Scottie's coming to Bakersfield with us." Mike says, being pretty sure that it is going to be the most awkward trip ever.

"Actually she's coming to Bakersfield with me." Harvey explains.

"What?" Mike says angrily, "You and Scottie are going to Bakersfield and I'm not." Mike realises, pain in his voice, and Harvey nods, "How could you do that to me?" Mike asks, both pain and anger in his voice.

"You're going to go on another road trip someday." Harvey tells Mike, assuming that that is why he is angry.

"I don't care about the road trip." Mike says angrily, being pretty sure that Harvey should know that, "But you're clearly not getting it, and we're going to lose world war two." Mike reveals, not even caring about the anger in his voice.

"What are you talking about?" Harvey asks, being confused about what Mike is so angry about, and Mike quickly explains his idea before leaving, anger in his voice the entire time, to Harvey's confusion.


While Mike and Harvey are talking Donna is walking into Harvey's office where Scottie is waiting.

"What do you want? Coffee? Tea?" Donna asks as she walks in with a tray.

"I'm good, thanks." Scottie answers.

"A woman who wants nothing. I distrust that." Donna admits.

"Who said I want nothing?" Scottie asks curious.

"Oh, no one's ever said that about you." Donna says, telling the complete truth.

"Oh, what have they said?" Scottie asks curious.

"'They'?" Donna asks.

"You." Scottie corrects.

"My opinion matters to you?" Donna asks, a little surprised about that.

"Your opinion matters to him." Scottie says, meaning that.

"I've only ever said good things about you, Scottie." Donna says.

"But what have you thought?" Scottie asks curious.

"Just don't screw with him." Donna requests as with how good things are between Harvey and Mike she doesn't want things to be screwed up, and with Trevor being in jail Scottie is probably the only person who can screw things up, other than Harvey and Mike themselves, of course.

"Don't screw with him, or don't screw him?" Scottie asks curious.

"Are you able to do one without the other?" Donna asks curious.

"The other what?" Harvey asks walking in the room, but without a word Donna heads out of the room, leaving Scottie and Harvey to talk.


After leaving Harvey Mike heads back to the conference room where he walks in, clearly annoyed.

"Mike?" Katrina asks confused, being able to tell that something is wrong.

"There's a chance of plan." Mike says and Katrina can hear the anger and annoyance in her best friends' voice, "The focus is now Parkville." He reveals.

"Okay, and what's wrong with you?" Katrina asks.

"I don't want to talk about it." Mike says, basically throwing a lid of a box, causing Katrina to just give her friend a look.

"Good. You're both here." Jessica says walking into the room, "Change of plans." Jessica says.

"We already know…." Katrina tells her, while looking sideways at Mike, wondering what the hell is going on.

"This isn't about Parkville." Jessica reveals, "I'm deposing Hanley Folsom in seventy-two hours, and I need to know more about him than his mistress does, before he gets here." Jessica reveals.

"Does he have a mistress?" Katrina asks curious.

"I don't know, it's the kind of thing I need you to find out." Jessica tells them, before leaving.

"On it." Katrina says, and once Jessica leaves she walks over to Mike, "What happened?" Katrina asks her friend.

"I told you, I don't want to talk about it." Mike snaps.

"Well I don't care, because you're my best friend and you're clearly upset and hurting, so talk to me." Katrina requests.

"I don't want to talk Katrina!" Mike says annoyed, "You heard Mom, we've got work to do, so we might as well get on it." He says before heading across the room.

"Okay then." Katrina mutters, as she watches Mike walk away, as she does she reaches into her pocket and pulls out her phone, and sends Donna a message saying,

What's Harvey done? Mike's pissed and won't talk about it.

For about a minute Katrina waits and then she gets a response back,

Don't know for sure, but I can guess. Don't worry. I'll educate Harvey on human emotions and he'll fix what happened

Good. Thanks, Donna.

Katrina sends back, feeling grateful.

"Are you going to text whoever you're texting or are you going to get to work?" Mike asks, annoyance clear in his voice.

"I am getting to work." Katrina tells her best friend, hoping that Donna speaks to Harvey soon as she really doesn't want to deal with a pissed of Mike for too long.


For the next couple of hours Katrina and Donna text back and forth, Donna feeling her sympathy for Katrina grow with every message. Once it gets late enough that most people have left the firm Donna gets up and heads into Harvey's office.

"We need to talk." Donna tells Harvey as she closes the door behind her.

"What about?" Harvey ask curious.

"About the fact that you need to talk to your boyfriend, for Katrina's sake, not to mention for the sake of your relationship." Donna explains to Harvey.

"What are you talking about?" Harvey asks confused.

"You really have no idea, do you?" Donna asks surprised, "Mike's pissed, Harvey, and hurt."

"What?" Harvey asks confused, "I know he wasn't happy about sitting out the road trip, but that was hours ago. I thought he'd get over it by now." Harvey admits.

"You're such an idiot." Donna explains, taking a deep breath, "And so very clueless."

"Hey!" Harvey says annoyed.

"Harvey, Mike's not mad that you're going to Parkville without him. He's mad about who you are going with." Donna explains.

"Why…." Harvey starts to say, then it comes to him, "Oh."

"Yeah, oh." Donna tells him, "I'm going to give you some friendly advice, if you want to still have a boyfriend when you get back from the trip you're going on with your ex-girlfriend, then you might want to go talk to him." Donna informs him.

"Where is he?" Harvey asks, knowing Donna will know.

"New conference room." Donna answers and Harvey heads out of the room.


A couple of minutes after he left his office Harvey walks into the new conference room, aka, Hardman's old office where he finds Mike and Katrina both working, at opposite ends of the table. As he enters the room Katrina looks up, though Mike's eyes don't leave the page he is looking at.

"Katrina, give us a minute." Harvey requests.

"Sure, I could use more coffee." Katrina says before leaving, closing the door behind her as she goes, honestly planning on going to see Donna.

After Katrina leaves Harvey walks over, pulls over a chair and sits down next to his boyfriend.

"I was an ass earlier, and I'm sorry." Harvey says, meaning that, "I should have told you about going on a trip with Scottie a different way." Harvey says, and Mike continues not to look up from what he is doing, "I have no interest in being with Scottie, I'm with you, Mike. I love you." Harvey tells him, meaning that, as Mike once more continues not to look up from what he is doing, "I thought you trusted me." Harvey says, pain in his voice.

"I do trust you." Mike says, turning to look at his boyfriend, "Even with how hard it is for me, I do trust you, Harvey." He says, meaning that.

"Then trust me on this. Nothing's going to happen between me and Scottie. I would never do that to you." Harvey says, meaning that completely as he stresses never.

"You can't say never; I know what being around your first love can do to you." Mike says, making Harvey realises that Trevor is the cause of Mike's insecurity, just like he is the reason behind so many other things.

"I can say never on this, because why Scottie will always be important to me, you're more important to me Mike. I love you, you're the first person I've been with that I've ever said those words to, and I need you to believe me when I say that I won't let anything happen between Scottie and I." Harvey tells Mike, reaching out and grabbing his hand, not caring that someone might walk by and see.

"I'll try." Mike says, meaning that, "That's the best I can do." He admits, and considering the way he was betrayed by the last person he loved Harvey is sure that that is a big deal.

"Okay." Harvey says, and then after checking to make sure no one is walking past he moves Mike's chair around and kisses his boyfriend, not caring that he is breaking one of the rules he set for himself, "I love you." Harvey says when they break apart, as he rests his head on Mike's forehead.

"I love you too." Mike responds.

"I'll see you in a couple of days." Harvey informs Mike.

"Okay." Mike says with a nod and Harvey gets up and heads back to the door, "Harvey." Mike says when Harvey gets there, causing him to turn around, "I'll miss you."

"Miss you too, Rookie." Harvey says, with a smile, before leaving.


The next day Harvey is on a plane with Scottie, while he is sitting on a seat going over everything Scottie is walking around the plane.

"Tell me you're not having Lear envy." Scottie comments.

"It's nice." Harvey says as Scottie hands him a drink.

"Nice? Should we have taken your jet? Oh, wait. You don't have a jet." Scottie comments as she sits on a chair.

"It's hard to park them in Manhattan." Harvey comments.

"Oh, right. I forgot how provincial Pearson Hardman was, one office, one city." Scottie comments.

"One office, the city." Harvey corrects, stressing the 'the' as he turns to look at Scottie who has an odd look on her face, "What?"

"It just occurred to me." Scottie says and as she does Harvey realises that they are about to enter dangerous territory.

"Oh, let me guess. There's an an advantage to being on the same side." Harvey realises.

"Well." Scottie says, swinging Harvey's chair around, "We don't' have to get the business…." Scottie starts to say as she moves closer to Harvey.

"Scottie I'm seeing someone." Harvey says, cutting Scottie off and putting an end to things, "And it's serious." He reveals.

"Harvey Specter doesn't do serious." Scottie says surprised, and honestly a little hurt, as she moves back from Harvey.

"I do now." Harvey says, and it is clear from his tone of voice that he completely means that.

"Wow." Scottie says, moving back even further from Harvey as she knows his feelings about infidelity and she knows that there is no way he would cheat on whoever he's with, and he'd never forgive her if she tried to get him too, "How long?" she asks curious.

"Almost…." Harvey starts to say but then he realises something, "Huh, two months' tomorrow." Harvey reveals, "But there been something between us for a little longer."

"Huh." Scottie says, knowing that it must be pretty serious for Harvey to call being with someone two moths serious, as she is pretty sure that she has never heard Harvey call a relationship serious.

"Yeah, they're important to me, everything to me." Harvey reveals, doing so because Scottie is his oldest friend, "And I'm happy Scottie."

"And you're not using pronouns which means it's a guy." Scottie says, knowing that because she knows Harvey, and as she's known since Law School that Harvey likes both men and woman so she isn't surprised.

"Yeah, he is." Harvey confirms, having forgotten how well Scottie can read him, "There's not a lot of people who know, which is why I didn't say anything at the office. I didn't want someone to overhear." He reveals as while he and Mike agreed to tell Jessica they haven't talked about telling other people.

"I get that." Scottie says, "Do you love him, Harvey?" Scottie asks, knowing how Harvey is about Love so how he answers this question will tell her a lot.

"Yeah, I do." Harvey says, without hesitation, to Scottie's surprise.

"Then I'm happy for you." Scottie says, actually meaning that as while it hurts to hear that Harvey can admit that he loves someone that isn't her all she's ever wanted is for Harvey to be happy, and loved, which he clearly is.

"Thanks Scottie." Harvey says, completely meaning that.

"Well, I guess we better get to work so you can be home for your anniversary." Scottie says with a smile.

"Yeah, guess we should." Harvey says, making a note to call Donna to ask her, and get her to ask Katrina, whether he should do something for his and Mike's anniversary, "We should decide which one of us is going to take the lead in the deposition."

"Considering it's a gender discrimination case, I think it should be me." Scottie comments.

"Of course you do." Harvey says, not even surprised by that and the two of them spend the rest of the fight arguing about which one of them should take the lead, a fight that Scottie ends up winning.


At Pearson Hardman Donna is walking into the conference room where she is surprised to find Katrina working alone."

"Hey." Katrina greats when she walks in.

"Hey, where's your partner in crime?" Donna asks curious.

"Hiding in the file room, where he has been ever since the time Harvey was due to get on the plane with Scottie." Katrina explains.

"I thought they talked before Harvey left? That things were okay." Donna comments, sounding a little surprised.

"They did." Katrina confirms, "But after everything that's happened Mike feels like he's not good enough, that Harvey deserves better. So, while he trusts Harvey he also thinks that Harvey deserves to be with someone better, and he thinks spending time with Scottie will make him see that." Katrina explains to Harvey.

"Trevor really did a number on him." Donna realises with a frown.

"I'm pretty sure that he did more than either of us know." Katrina admits, pain in her voice as while they both know the details of what Trevor did to Mike when he attacked him, she is betting that there are other lasting effects that they don't know.

"I'm going to go talk to him." Donna says heading to the door.

"Good luck." Katrina says as Donna leaves.


Walking into the file room a few minutes later Donna finds Mike studying something intensely, and so she walks over to her friend and sits down on the table next to him.

"Did you need something, Donna?" Mike asks curious.

"Harvey loves you, Mike." Donna says and Mike looks up at her.

"I know that." Mike tells her, "I just…."

"Don't think you're good enough for him." Donna realises and Mike nods, "You are such an idiot." She says, smiling at her friend, saying so in a kind sisterly way rather than a mean way, "Mike, I've known Harvey a long time and I've never see him be with a person the way he is with you." She reveals, in a kind voice.

"Really?" Mike asks, sounding surprised.

"Really." Donna confirms, "I know you've been hurt, and its hard for you to trust, but I also know that you trust Harvey."

"I do, but I know what being around your first love can do to you." Mike admits, "And I know what Scottie means to him."

"You've got nothing to worry about with Scottie, that I know for a fact." Donna assures him, "Harvey would never cheat on you Mike, he'd never even consider it."

"He deserves better Donna, I can't even…..." Mike starts to say before trailing off as he releases what he is about to say as while he is positive that Donna knows he doesn't want to admit it.

"He wants you, Mike. You might not think you're good enough, but Harvey does." Donna says stressing the words, trying to get Mike to realise what he means to Harvey, "He loves you so much, Mike and he'll wait forever if that's what you need." Donna tells him, "If you can't trust yourself Mike, then you've got to at least trust your man."

"I do." Mike tells her.

"Good, I'll let you get back to work." Donna says, standing up and squeezing her friends shoulder before she leaves.

After Donna leaves Mike goes back to his work, and once he does Mike realises something, and he knows that he has to call Harvey, to give him this information before the deposition and he has to go back to the conference room to work with his friend, rather than shutting himself away.


Hours later Harvey and Scottie have completed their deposition in Parkville, where Hardman showed up at, and they have had a conversation about Scottie becoming named partner if she wins.

In New York, at Pearson Hardman Mike and Katrina have both given all their briefs to Jessica and are once more returning to the conference room which they have set up as their base.

"Okay, we've gotten Mom everything we need, now the next thing we have to do is…." Mike starts to say, trying to ignore the pain he is getting in his arm.

"Figure out a way to get personal correspondents into the scope." Katrina finishes, having had a conversation earlier where she and Mike discussed his idea.

"Exactly." Mike confirms, "It's going to be another long night."

"Yep." Katrina confirms, "Where's your brace?" she asks curious.

"In my bag, I'm trying to resist needing to use it." Mike admits.

"You should." Katrina tells him, "You know it's better that you do."

"Yeah, guess so." Mike says, searching through his bag to find his brace.

As Mike does that Katrina hears her phone vibrate and so she picks it up and looks at it,

So, I just got a message I never thought I'd get; Harvey wants to know whether he should do something for his and Mike's two-month anniversary tomorrow.

Looking surprised at the message Katrina responds with an amused look on her face,

What you say?

And a few seconds later she gets a response back.

That he should do something, but that it might be difficult with things being so busy.

Yeah, no kidding, Mike and I are going to be pulling an all-nighter tonight, and probably several more nights until we've figured out a way to kick Hardman's ass, but they should do something for their anniversary.

Katrina responds.

"Are you and Donna going to keep texting each other? Or are you going to do work?" Mike asks curious.

"How do you know I'm texting Donna?" Katrina asks curious.

"Please, you and Donna spend most of your days texting each other, not to mention your coffee gossip sessions." Mike responds, with an amused look on his face.

"Well, you should be glad that we do." Katrina tells him as her phone goes off again, "What do you feel like for dinner? Donna's going to order."

"Chinese." Mike answers and Katrina text her friend back, and once she does she and Mike get back to work.

Half an hour later Donna has joined Mike and Katrina in the conference room, with food and caffeine, and she ends up helping them for a little while before leaving, leaving Mike and Katrina to pull an all-nighter.
