Ariana stared at the man standing in front of her. Her eyes darted to the dried blood on his finger tips. She wondered how anyone could be capable of a horrific crime. Then, she thought she should thank him.

"Give me the details," Ariana asked taking a seat in front of him. The man sighed slightly shaking, "I don't know what came over me honestly. I saw him try to- try to grab the woman and I snapped." Ariana nodded, "Are you hiding anything from me?" The man shook his head, "I have a family. I saw someone in danger. You should have heard her scream and the little girl with her was petrified." Ariana nodded trying to shake the thought from her head; she wasn't there for them. "I need you to understand that we ran background checks on you in every shape and form. I do not want to deem you a criminal because you did do us a service," Ariana explained, "but this type of behavior is absurd. You seen the victim grab someone, wouldn't pulling them off be just has effective? You stabbed him, Finch. Nine times." Finch sighed, "I knew him." Ariana shakes her head, "another layer. alright, I will have you tell my partner. every single thing that you know. I will step out to see if we can find a lawyer for you."

Ariana stepped out dialing Camila's number; she smiled upon hearing Camila's voice. "I am okay, babe. I am just stressed. I have a difficult case ahead of me and to be frank,  I want to be with you." Camila's laugh soothed every ounce of stress she could feel. 

"Well, Chief, you will be home soon I hope. What's wrong, mi amor?."

"I have a case with a woman and a little girl, Lauren's age. I know it is not you all, but it has me on edge." Ariana explained watching as Finch wrote his statement out. "We are perfectly fine. Lauren is coloring and I am grading papers." Ariana heard Lauren babbling about her coloring, "I wish I was there." 

Ariana noticed Finch starting to get worked up, "I will have to call you back." Ariana put away her phone and stepped into the irrigation room, "Velez, get out." Ariana moved her hand to her gun "Finch, what is going on?" Finch gripped his pencil, "Your friend called me a murder. I am not writing another damn sentence." Ariana cursed herself for leaving a perp with a rookie, "I am sorry Finch, I will find you a lawyer." Finch stood up throwing the chair, "I protected a fucking family." He inched closer to her, "You are trying to set me up, chief."  Ariana gripped her gun, "I need you to step back." 

Finch raised his hand and before it could meet Ariana's face. Gun shots erupted the room.

Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach as people came to rush in. "Grande what happened?" Ariana shook her head, "he was threatening me. He got too close...I just-" "Call 911!" Ariana was pushed out of the room. Normani rushed over, "Come on. Let's go to my office." 

Normani gave Ariana water as paramedics arrived. "I will see if it is settled down. Can I call someone for you?" Ariana nodded, but then shook her head, "I don't know how she will react. I fucked up." Normani shook her head, "No. I saw the way he was acting. He is crazy, chief. I doubt they will investigate after watching the tapes." Ariana sighed, "He has a family." Normani nodded, "so do you." 

Normani left the office to check in on the situation as Ariana pulled out her phone. 

"Camila?" Ariana shifted in her chair her voice threatening to crack, "Can you come and pick me up? See if Dinah can watch Laur?"
