It was around seven in the morning when there was loud banging on the door. Asia quickly got up and pulled some clothes on before jogging down. She opened the door and she was shocked to see her lieutenant standing with some uniform officers behind him.

She unintentionally cleared her throat before standing up straight, "Sir...what's going on?"

"Is Saint here?" he asked, as his eyes scanned around the house.

"Yeah I'm here what's going on?" Saint appeared from behind Asia.

"We need to ask you a few questions." he said, retrieving a document from his pocket.

Asia stood there beyond confused about what this was about, they were due into work in a couple of hours so why now?

"Questions? So you come to my house fa that." Saint chuckled as he felt his palms clam up.

"I think it's better we do this at the station. We also have a warrant to search got premises." he held the documents up, Saint looked at Asia briefly before they took him alway to the police car.

She stood there for a moment completely flabbergasted, her lieutenant didn't say anything about what they had on him in order to search the premises. Asia watched as the squad fanned out and started to search the place.

She ran up the stairs to grab her things, she knew one of the officers personally so she handed over the house keys before dashing to her car.

It had been hours, Asia was sitting in the waiting area of the police station. The door opened causing her to sit up instantly, she had no idea what was going on, there had been no updates.

"What's going on?" she asked her chief, who had a face full of displeasure.

"We've arrested him for the homicides. We found DNA at a scenes of crime, you know the murders that happened this weekend? Well the DNA was his as well as the death of Cassidy...we um..well DNA was found but he destroyed the file so no one knew until now." he explained, he wasn't too good with emotions but was trying to be sensitive as she was one of their own.

It was like everything stopped for that moment. Despite was she was hearing, Asia couldn't believe believe the man she'd fallen for was this serial killer they'd all been searching for, for over a year now.

"Please can I see him?" she mumbled, she needed him to say it to her face.

"We're transferring him since he's one of us. You can have some time." he sighed, she followed him to the interview room and left them alone. Saint just sat there, staring at the wall, almost as if she wasn't there

"Tell me this wasn't you." was all she managed to say to him.

"Of course it wasn't, this is some fix up I swear." he got up and tried to walk over to her but she backed away.

"So they're setting you up? Saint they found your dna at two scenes of crime, you fucking killed my best friend?!" she said hitting him with each word.

The door opened and Jason walked in to pull her away, he was told to watch the door but he heard her getting distressed.

"Asia I didn't do it!" Was all Saint could say, he deeply hoped she believed him.

Asia wiped her face she was trying to catch her breath. She was sitting outside the police station, Khalil was inside talking with Saint's lawyer. She was confused and hurt, she didn't want to think it was true. But hypothetically if it was him, how had he been lying to everyone this whole time and not gotten caught sooner?

She quickly wiped her tears when she heard footsteps approaching. Asia looked up to see it was Isaiah walking over. Khalil had called and told him the news, and in all honesty he was more concerned about Asia.

He knew she was a kind soul as soon as they met and she'd been experiencing a different side to Saint than what they had.

"Did you drive here?" he asked, Asia shook her head. Her car was still at her house but she knew they'd have to search her home also.

"Cmon, I'll take you home." he helped her up to her feet.

"I can't go home, they're searching my place." she shook her head, all she wanted to do was curl up in her bed and crumble.

"Right then I'll take you to grab some stuff and you'll come stay with me." he said making her eyes grow wide, Asia didn't expect him to be so nice.

"No I can't ask you to do that it's fine." she scrambled to find her phone trying to think of who she could stay with. Her aunt who she was close with, lived near by but she knew she'd ask too many questions.

"Cmon we'll talk about it on the way." he insisted, Isaiah drove her to her house. Aimee her house was being searched she had to supervised while she packed a few things.

Isaiah didn't feel right about leaving her alone at a hotel like she requested. So she finally agreed to stay with him over the weekend while things cooled down.

It was around midnight when Isaiah made his way downstairs, almost jumping out of his skin when he saw Asia sitting in the dark. He flicked on the kitchen light which made her turn to look at him.

"You can't sleep?" he asked before taking a seat at the breakfast bar.

She shook her head, "Can I ask you something?

"Shoot." he said before taking a seat.

"You believe all this? I've never seen a bad side to Saint."

"If I'm honest, me and him ain't that close, yeah we boys. But when I found out about you and then met you I was shocked. I'd never expected someone so...nice to be with him. Saints has problems...Abs has done since school days." he explained, Isaiah passed on this concern to Khalil but he told him it wasn't their business to get involved.

"Really? I feel like we knew two different people." she mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.

"He didn't like talking about personal stuff, that's probably why....cmon it's late and you need sleep." Asian nodded her head knowing he was right.

So they parted ways and headed off to bed. As much as Asia wanted to sleep she couldn't. She sat up thinking about todays events and what she was supposed to do now.
