Harvey

"Harvey?" Mike approached me as I ordered my usual hot dog from the outside vendor.

"When will you realize that this time is sacred for me?" I took a bite and began walking down the busy street.

"Well I think what I'm about about to show you is way more important than that tube of fake meat," he handed me a file.

I eyed him carefully as I opened the file. My eyes scanned over the documents. "Mike," I let out a frustrated sigh, "I didn't ask you to do this."

"Yeah well I knew you were going to have to do it eventually, and something about those shares just didn't seem right to me."

"As fucked as it is, I can't say I'm surprised."

"So what are you gonna do?" Mike stopped me, "because there's no way in hell you're gonna defend them now, right?"

"Mike, I'm gonna take care of this." I pushed past him.

I stood right outside Beck Mallards front door. It opened almost as soon as I had knocked. "Harvey?" Mrs. Rebecca Mallard opened the door, "it's one o'clock in the morning." 

"Let him in Becca," Beck came into view, "I suppose you're here for a good reason." He led me into his kitchen.

"Yeah I am," I slammed a stack of files on his kitchen island, "what the hell is this shit?"

Beck had a smug look on his face as he opened the files, "Harvey you knew what you were getting into the moment you agreed to represent them."

"If you think for one moment that I would've taken this case knowing that, then you're wrong."

He chuckled and poured himself a drink, "look Harvey... you and I both know that isn't true."

I clenched my jaw.

"You and I are very similar. We both like to win and we'll do absolutely anything to get ahead."

"Not anything," I began to walk off.

"Yes, Harvey, anything." He walked up to me, spinning me around so that I faced him. "You're not dropping this case, because if you do I will—"

"—You'll what? Kill me? End my career?" I stepped up to him, "let's get one thing straight, you and I are nothing alike. And if you think that I'm going to submit to you based off of a little threat then you've got another thing coming..." I inched closer to him, "so go tell those boys of yours to find another lawyer."

"We'll see about that." Beck smiled.

I stormed into Jessica's house. "Did you know about the Gregory's and their buying of shares?"

"Well hello to you too," Jessica was pouring herself a cup of tea. "Remind me to get that key back from you," she chuckled.

"Cut the shit Jessica, you don't just give me cases without doing a little digging first, so I'm gonna ask you again, did you know about the insider trading?"
