Nick threw his arm protectively around Elisha as they started through the throng. Questions were shouted out at them from the reporters and the flashes made them through their hands up to cover their faces.

"Is it true you helped your wife murder your ex-fiancee?"

"Did you try to cover up the murder, Nick?"

"We've heard the group has already asked you to leave, can you comment?"

"Mrs. Carter, was your husband having an affair? Is that why you killed her?"

They went on and on. Nick just shook his head and Elisha kept hers down. She just stared at her and Nicks entwined hands and tried to tune everything else out. Halliday was barking out orders for the photographers and reporters to step back and clear a path. Other officers were scanning the crowd to ensure that no one attacked their celebrity prisoners. "Come on now people, you know they can't answer anything before they see their lawyer, give them a break!" Halliday moved to the right of Nick and placed a hand on the small of Elisha's back, propelling her forward and into the building. She sagged in Nick's arms as soon as the heavy wooden doors shut behind them. "Oh my God!" she muttered, dazed. "It's only just starting too! My God!" Nick hugged her tight and kissed her cheek. "It's alright, you did fine. I'm here with you, don't forget that."

They were taken into the office and re-read their rights. Their photograph mugshots were taken and fingerprints as well. Elisha stared down at the smeared ink on her hands, still in a daze. Nick came out from having his fingerprints done with a smile on his face. "Becca and Brian would have had a ball in there!" he said, wiggling his fingers in her face. Elisha smiled weakly at him. "Yeah, they would have, but you would have had to bathe them after!" Nick giggled as he sat beside her. "Okay, that's all the formalities folks. The judge is studying the case and bail will be set first thing in the morning." He scanned his notebook. "We will place you in holding cells for the night, but you will have to be separated. The female wing is at the other end of the building from the male wing." Elisha looked scared for a moment. "It's alright Mrs. Carter. I'm fairly certain you will be the only one in your cell, same for you Mr. Carter. It's been a slow week." Halliday grinned and Nick shook his hand as he stood. "You've been very good to us Mr. Halliday, we appreciate it very much."

Halliday escorted them to another room where another male officer and a female officer awaited them. The three police officers stood back as Nick and Elisha parted. Nick held her face in his hands, tipping it up towards him. "Don't you cry, because I don't want to cry. It's just overnight. We'll see each other in the morning, right?" Elisha nodded, afraid to speak because she knew that if she did, her tears would fall again. Her eyes were already brimming with them. Nick kissed each of her closed eyes and then her mouth. "Just pretend I'm at the studio, okay? One of those dumb over-nighters we pull when we get really creative, you know?" "Okay." Elisha said quietly. "I'll try my best." "That's my girl!" Nick smiled and pulled her close to him. He whispered in her ear. "Don't be scared, hon. I'll be thinking of you every minute." Halliday tapped him on the shoulder and Nick turned slightly. "It's time, Mr. Carter, I'm sorry." Nick reluctantly released Elisha and the female officer took her elbow lightly. "This way, Mrs. Carter." Elisha turned her head as they walked away from Nick, she could see his tears rolling down his cheeks and her heart broke. "I'm so sorry Nicky, this IS all my fault."
