Ok, after getting a hand ful of reviews i decided to repost the first chapter or more precisely to stretch the content of the first chapter into multiple chapters. Story stays the same, just more character interaction.

This is still my first fanfic ever and still the first time writing in English. I'm thankful for every help. And please review.


I was in the car

It was a Monday morning like any other at Pearson Specter since Louis learned the truth about Mike. A little too loud, a little too tense and very very busy. Only few knew what was really going on but everyone felt the tension. The associates did everything to appear hardworking and tried to avoid both of them as good as possible.

Harvey, as usual, pretended like nothing was wrong.

"Donna, where is Mike?"

"Not in yet." The assistant didn't look up and instead continued to read an important mail.

Bewildered Harvey stared at her. "It's nine."

Sighing Donna looked up. "I know, I already tried calling him multiple times. Mobile and home line. Nothing."

"What the fuck?! After everything that's going on?! Tell me when he's in!" furious he returned to his office.

Exhausted Donna took a sip of her coffee. She was a tough one but the conflict in the office was really getting to her. There was no doubt that she was on Harvey's side in the matter but that didn't make the fight with Louis any less painful. He was after all her friend.

And now Mike thought it was a good idea to come in late. That was a complication she truly didn't need. She reached for her phone and dialed Mikes number for the tenth time this morning. And just like before nothing happened. She was starting to get angry.

Where the hell could he be? He couldn't be with Rachel. She was on a trip to Europe with her mother and would only return next week. He obviously wasn't with Harvey. Louis wouldn't use Mike, he was to disappointed and angry. That left Jessica.

She haste down the corridors to Jessica's office. Forcefully refusing to acknowledge the fact that this didn't explain why Mike wasn't answering his cell. She ignored Jessica's assistant Paula and walked right into the office.

Jessica and Jeff Malone where deep in conversation.

"Jessica, do you know where Mike is?" Donna was to exhausted and to annoyed to stick with her normal politeness towards the other woman.

Jessica glanced to her boyfriend. She still hadn't told him what was really going on and she still wasn't sure if she wanted him to know. "Good morning, Donna. Why do you think I would know, where Mr. Ross is?"

"I just hoped you knew. He isn't answering his cell or at home and he hasn't come in yet."

That rose Jessica's attention. "What about Ms Zane?"

"Still in Europe." Donna answered.

"Right."

"Maybe he's just sick." Jeff suggested. Donna shook her had and Jessica grinned unhappy. They both remembered all too well more than one occasion when Mike Ross had come into the office barely able to walk and put two thoughts in order just because he didn't want to disappoint Harvey. One time Jessica had threatened to fire him if he didn't go home and stay there until he was better. No way would he stay away without calling in. Especially not now. Mike wouldn't give Louis an opening like that.

The two women looked at each other both unsure what was going on, but sure it wasn't good. Jeff was confused. He had realized pretty early on that Harvey Specter was more than just a partner to Jessica and that Donna and Mike where more than just colleagues to Harvey. These three were more a family than anything else but this seemed to be about something else.

"Maybe his battery is low and Louis send him somewhere?" he suggested. Again the two women shook their heads.

"Louis wouldn't use Mike." mumbled Jessica. "And Harvey doesn't know?"

Donna smiled. "No, he's furious. I think, I'm gonna send Ray to check out the apartment."

She turned around and was about to leave when Jessica called after her. "Please keep me informed."

She nodded and left.

When she returned to her desk, Harvey had left a note. He was on his way to meet a client and wouldn't return till after lunch.

Donna hesitated only for a second and called Ray.

It took another hour before Ray was at the office. An hour in which Donna grew more and more worried. Something was clearly wrong. She had tried to call Mike over and over again, unsuccessful. Finally Ray came up to her.

"Thank god. Ray, you have to go to Mike's and check up on him for me."

Stunned the man looked at her. He had known her for years but he had only seen her this agitated a hand full of times. "Sure, no problem. What's wrong?"

"He doesn't answer his phone and I can't leave here without raising to much attention." She explained while rummaging through her desk. "Here this is a spare key. Rachel gave it to me weeks ago just in case."

"I take it, this is such a case." Ray took the key. "I'll call you as soon as I'm there."

For the first time this day Donna smiled. "Thank you. It's probably nothing. But thank you."

He winked at her and left.

Relieved Donna fell back into her chair and returned to her duties hoping that everything would turn out to be nothing.

Half an hour later Harvey returned. Donna didn't look at him hoping he would just pass her not asking about Mike. No such luck.

"Where is he? Don't tell me he's still not in!" the anger was visible in his eyes.

Before Donna had to answer her phone rang. The ID identified the number as Rays. "Thank god." Donna mumbled and picked up. "A second Ray. I transfer you to Harveys office." She hang up again pressed a button and pulled Harvey into his office. "I got worried so I asked Ray to check up on Mikes apartment." She closed the door behind Harvey. "Where here Ray. What did you find out?"
