Haruhi yawned and stretched. Glancing at the corner of her computer screen she saw that it was 0330 on Saturday morning. Where did the time go? Haruhi had been putting in long hours on Mori's case trying to bulk up the defense and go through all the evidence against Mori – including the obviously false testimony given by Ms. Sakamoto.

The office had been empty for hours. Haruhi had lost track of time. Sighing she hit save and backed up all her files to the office server. She didn't need to lose important information because of some stupid hard drive failure.

When she closed her laptop the only light in the room came from a streetlamp outside the window. She grabbed her bag and headed to the door. Halfway there the light in the hallway came on.

Haruhi froze.

There shouldn't be lights coming on at 0330 in the morning. The cleaners had come and gone and Haruhi was the only person who worked her stupid to be here at this hour. A quiver of fear ran through Haruhi's veins.

Something didn't feel right.

She slipped slowly over to the door and silently turned the lock. Then she retreated into her coat closet, holding her phone.

Who to call?

She couldn't call the police. What if the light was turned on by someone who actually worked here? Also Mr. Tachiki wouldn't like the bad publicity, and there would be publicity. This was an extremely safe part of town. Any police coming to investigate would be of intense interest to anyone nearby, and some people did live near here.

Without really thinking about it she scrolled through her contacts until she found Mori and called him.

"Hello?" Mori sounded very groggy.

"Mori, I'm at the office." Haruhi froze as she heard her office door rattle. She pushed herself farther into the closet and lowered her voice. "Someone's breaking in, I think, I don't know, there's no one –"

"I'm coming." Mori said before hanging up. His voice hadn't sounded groggy at all that time.

The door to Haruhi's office abruptly stopped rattling. A moment later she saw the light come on. Haruhi stopped breathing and grabbed one of the solid wooden coat hangers in her closet. If the intruder opened the door she wouldn't go down without a fight.

As Haruhi stood in the closet with bated breath the light in her office went back off. She slowly opened the closet door after she heard the door to her office close. There was no one in the office. Glancing around she immediately saw that her laptop was missing.

"Sagisu Corporation," Haruhi whispered as she pulled out her phone. She was just about to send a text to Kyoya when the door to her office slammed open.

Haruhi turned quickly, dropping her phone, and holding the hanger above her head. Standing in the doorway was the tallest man she knew.

"Mori! They're gone. They took my laptop."

"You're ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I hid in the closet; they never knew I was here."

"Good. I'll phone the police." Mori pulled out his own cell phone and began dialing.

Haruhi picked her own phone back up and hit the 'send' button. As she picked up the phone she noticed her hands were shaking a little. A few moments letter Kyoya replied.

Kyoya: I'll have the GPS in your laptop turned on. The police heading to your location already have everything they need to track it. Please get that laptop back. It wasn't a cheap graduation gift.

Haruhi sent him back a quick reply.

Haruhi: Thanks Kyoya. I'll get it back.

Mori hung up and looked over at her. "You sure you're ok?"

Haruhi took a deep breath. "I'm fine Mori, I'm just a bit shaken, that's all."

Mori gave her one of his small smiles and walked over to give her a comforting hug. Haruhi started to pull out of hug but found herself unable to. She sighed, rolled her eyes, and hugged her friend back. She wasn't big on hugs, but somehow, being hugged by Mori was quite nice.


Author's Note: Meh, not one of my best, I know, but it was sort of awkward to write. Next one should be better. Also, I'm SO sorry it's taken so long to update! I mean, twenty days, I think that's a new record. I've been very busy working on an original story. Think it's fitting Kyoya gave Haruhi her laptop for a graduation gift? It's a pineapple laptop, lol. Be faithful little reviewers like you have been and I'll update as soon as possible. (less than a week this time, I promise!)
