'''Keep What You Steal''' is the twentieth track included in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''. It is composed of ''Keep What You Steal'' (0:00-1:12) and ''Escape'' (1:12-2:36).


''Keep What You Steal'' (1:15) starts with a single high strings note, followed by a piano variation of the five-note E Dorian melody (from the track ''[[Finish the Fight]]''). Strings then play the melody of the Gregorian chant from the ''[[Halo Theme]]''. The melody begins to swell, then quiets to a minor key to transition to the next piece. The piece plays in the cutscene before the "Nor Hell A Fury..." chapter, in which [[John-117]] reunites with [[Cortana]]. Despite being a variation of the ''Finish the Fight'' motif, the piano theme at the beginning of the piece became a recurring motif that was incorporated into future tracks: it was played in full reprise in ''[[The Package (music)|The Package]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]''), followed by brief reprises in ''[[Atonement]]'' (from ''[[Halo 4: Original Soundtrack]]'') and ''[[Blue Team (music)|Blue Team]]'' (from ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Original Soundtrack]]'').

''Escape'' (1:06) begins with the strings playing a single note, but drums in the background gradually grow louder and louder until they block out the strings. The strings take over and begin a discordant melody, which continues to grow louder before fading out in the end with an echo. The piece plays when John-117 destroys the reactors of ''High Charity'' and escapes the [[Flood hive]], then continues into the ending cutscene in which John-117, Cortana, and [[Thel 'Vadam]] escape ''High Charity'' on a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]].
