Haruhi took another sip of the coffee Mori had made for her as she waited for the police to bring more news. She couldn't believe they had stolen her laptop. They had also stolen her hardcopy of the file, she hadn't realized that until after the police had arrived. Didn't they realize this was 2017? Didn't they realize that everything was backed up onto the office's private server? Idiots, she was in a case against idiots.

Mori walked back into the office and sat in one of the empty chairs. "The backups ok?"

Haruhi snorted, "Yes, they're ok. The idiots took my laptop and the hardcopy file, but they didn't bother with the backups. You would think that they were the tree–huggers and that you were the corporate executive."

A small wry smile crossed Mori's face so fast that Haruhi almost missed it. "Sagisu Corporation is headed by an older generation."

"Is that your polite way of saying they're a bunch of dinosaurs?" Haruhi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Mori seemed to consider this for a moment before nodding.

Haruhi giggled, almost spilling coffee down her suit.

Another small smile flitted across Mori's face.

Haruhi had forgotten what a dry sense of humor Mori had. It was quite refreshing; especially after that dinner she had with Tamaki and Kaoru a couple nights ago. Haruhi studied Mori's face as she realized that she hadn't spent much time with him or Hunny since graduation. Why was that? It wasn't because she didn't like spending time with them. Maybe it was the age difference? They were two years older than her after all and Hunny was married now with twin boys. Mori wasn't married though, despite the fact that he lived with Chelsea.

"Mori do you love Chelsea?" Haruhi didn't know why she asked that. It was a rather personal question. Had Tamaki rubbed off on her after all these years?

Mori just blinked at her for a moment. "No," he finally answered.

"Oh, I, well, just wondered. After all you do live together."

"She loves Hunny. I just keep her sane."

Haruhi felt herself blushing, "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize. That's rather sad isn't it?"

Haruhi could've sworn that she saw deep pools of sadness appear in Mori's eyes for a second. "It's tragic."

Haruhi didn't know what to say to that.

They sat there unspeaking for a few minutes – neither willing to break the silence. There was a light rap on the doorframe. Haruhi looked up to see one of the police officers standing there.

"Is there news?" She asked him as she put her coffee on the desk and stood up.

"Yes, we found your laptop. It was thrown into a dumpster a few blocks from here. The hard drive was missing, but otherwise it was in perfect condition."

"Any sign of the missing file?"

"No miss, I'm sorry. We've taken the laptop down to the station to see if we can get any prints off of it. Once the case is cleared you'll get it back."

"Thanks, Kyoya will be so happy to find out it's alright." Haruhi couldn't help but let sarcasm lace her words.

"He already knows. He was listening in on our police radios. He called as soon as we found it to make sure we treated it with care. I didn't realize laptops could cost that much." There was shock and awe in the officer's voice as he related this news.

"Neither did I, I can't believe he gave something so expensive to me anyway. Well, thank you officer."

"No problem miss, call if you have any more problems." He tipped his hat to her before making his way out of the room.

Haruhi looked over at Mori, who was still in his chair, calmly sipping his coffee. "Thoughts?"

Mori took another sip of his coffee before responding. "They either want to see what case you have or," he paused to take another sip, if it had been anyone but Mori she would've thought he did it on purpose, "they really are dinosaurs as you said."

Haruhi giggled again. She didn't know what was with her tonight. Maybe all the excitement and adrenaline had made her silly, but Mori calling someone a dinosaur was highly amusing. "You're wonderful Mori, why have I not been spending more time with you lately?"

He stood up and put his mug down next to hers as he merely shrugged before saying, "Let's get you home."


Author's Note: See, it wasn't as long as it was last time. :D I'm trying to keep all these chapters between 600 and 800 words for some crazy ocd reason. Though I'm telling myself it's a test of my writing abilities somehow. So, did they take it because they're dinosaurs or because they want to know what Haruhi has against them?

C'mon people, review! I only got three reviews for the last chapter despite numerous visitors, I like to know what you think. Reviews help a writer improve themselves and that's what I'm always trying to do.

Enjoy! Read! Review!
