Amy woke up on the couch of Horatio's office she was realived that she will soon be at peace. After taking her daily painkiller she got up off the couch and walked out of the office out of the corner of her eye she sees a woman about 3 years younger than her she looked at the woman with empathy and sympathy she to had her left arm cut off by Jason she's been through the same hell Amy knew all to well. Being moved with compassion she carefully went up to the girl who was sitting on a bench and sat next to her.

"Hi",Amy said softly with a gentle smile.

"Hi",The woman replied shyly.

"I'm Amy what's your name?",Amy asked tenderly as her heart broke for the woman next to her she was crying.

"Asha",Asha replied as she wiped her tears away. Amy took her hand in her as she showed her her stump.

"You to?",Asha replied with shock.

"Yes he got me to.",Amy replied in a somber tone.

"How am I suppose to live with this? I feel so lost and alone.",Asha asked sadly.

"Asha sometimes life throws us what seems to be impossible obsticles for us to overcome. I was faced with the same question

after I got out of the hospital but a dear friend whom I love as a father told me that even though life may throw roadblocks we must stand firm with strength and courage. You may feel weak but you must go forth even though you are afraid to move. Asha you will make it through this I know you will and I know that something beautiful and wonderful will come out of this.",Amy replied tenderly as she squeezed Asha's hand.

"Asha you are a very beautiful woman with the kindest heart and soul I see in your eyes. Your name means Hope and I know there is Hope lurking run to Hope not despair. Go to God he loves you oh so much Asha he wants to help you let him in. Never lose your faith.",Amy said with the kindest voice. Asha nodded and started to cry Amy pulled the crying woman into her embrace allowing her to cry on her shoulder.

"Amy will you stay and pray with me?",Asha asked as she sobbed.

"Of course",Amy replied as she held Asha closer.

"Angel of God, my guardian dear To whom God's love

commits me here,Ever this day be at my side",Amy whispered as Amy repeated the prayer.

"To light and guard, Rule and guide Amen",The two women finished Amy hugged Asha tightly with no intention of letting go.

"I'm here I'm not going anywhere",Amy whispered in Asha's ear.

"Send down your love Lord we are broken we are on our knees take our burdens make them light. Let our hearts be led by mercy

break our hearts for what breaks yours. Lead us with open hearts and open hearts and open arms",Amy sung softly.

"We love you Lord heal us guide us and help us through the dark",Amy sung tenderly

Calleigh's POV

As Natalia and I made my way to Horatio's office to talk to Amy Natalia and I heard the most angelic voice singing softly with beauty and passion.

"Woah I wonder who that could be.",Natalia said with amazement and curiousity.

"Let's go find out",I replied with a grin.

"We are on our knees we cry out to you we long for you Lord",Amy sung softly.

As Natalia and I came closer we were in awe of the sight before us the angelic voice belonged to Amy who had Asha in her embrace while Asha cried on her shoulder. The way Amy held Asha was the way a mother would hold her crying daughter. Natalia quietly pulled her phone out and took a picture of them to send to Horatio.

"Lord send down... a wave of love and mercy heal our brokeness.",Amy finished singing the last note echoed through the hallway.

Amy looked at us with tenderness and curiousity and motioned for us to come over. Natalia and I came over and knelt down in front of Amy and Asha who stopped crying and was smiling softly.

"You must be Natalia and Calleigh correct?",Amy asked with a soft smile that could melt anyones heart.

"Yes it's a pleasure to meet you Amy we need to talk to you about the case.",Natalia replied with a smile. Amy looked at Asha with concern before replying.

"Asha I have to go for now but if you need anything here is my number call or text me day or night. I want you to know that I will be here for you every step of the way okay?",Amy said tenderly as she handed Asha a piece of paper with her phone number on it which Asha gladly took.

"Thank you Amy you're an amazing woman God bless you!",Asha said with a smile as she gave Amy one more hug before leaving her with Natalia and and I we were smiling softly.

"Want to talk here or somewhere else?",Amy asked.

"We can talk in an interview room",I replied, Amy nodded as she got up and followed Natalia and I to an interview room.

Interview Room

Natalia's POV.

Amy sat down as Calleigh shut the door behind us I pulled out a chair and sat down Calleigh sat down in the chair next to Amy.

"Amy you've been a great help to us we have so much evidence against Jason but we need to ask you a couple questions if that's okay with you.",Calleigh said with a soft smile.

"Sure ask away",Amy replied with a gentle smile.

"Is there anywhere or anyone that Jason would go to hide when he's on the run?",I asked.

"He has a cabin in the everglades he has some family here and in Daytona Beach",Amy replied truthfully.

"Can you give us the names and addresses?",Calleigh asked as she set down a pad and pen in front of Amy.

"Sure",Amy replied as she took the pen and wrote down the names and adresseses she also wrote down the exact location of Jasons cabin in the everglades. She put the pen down and handed the pad to Calleigh.

"Just know I will be testifying",Amy said softly.

"You're very brave Amy",I replied with a smile. Amy smiled and cocked her head a bit.

"Something tells me that you two have more questions what do you want to know?",Amy asked with a smile.

"Where did you get that amazing voice?",Calleigh asked with a smile.

"I've always had a passion for singing one day while I was getting ready for bed I was singing a song I wrote called "My Offering" and of course Horatio caught me singing he asked me if I wanted lessons I told him no because I wanted to teach myself we hugged for a while after that",Amy replied.

"That's incredible",I replied.

"Calleigh may I ask you something?",Amy asked

"Sure",Calleigh replied

"Are you from Louisana by any chance?",Amy asked

"Yes I'm from New Orleans",Calleigh replied with a smile.

"That's awesome you know one of my dreams growing up was to visit New Orleans.",Amy replied with a smile.

"Really? maybe once this is over you and I can go there I will be honored to show you around",Calleigh replied with a smile.

"Thats would be awesome",Amy replied with a smile.

"Here is a picture of Horatio and I at my college graduation",Amy said as she pulled her phone out and pulled up the photo. Amy was wearing a modest blue dress and shoes she had her hair up in a lobster braid she was wearing very little makeup Horatio was in a black suit and tie and shoes he was looking down at Amy with a

tender smile on his face I could tell by the look in his eyes that he's very proud of her. The way he held her showed how much he loves and cares for her as a daughter. What stood out in the picture was a sliver heart pendant around Amy's neck that had engraved:

My Guardian Angel

My Best Friend For Life

My Beloved Daughter You Will Always Be

I love you always and forever.

"That is a beautiful picture You and Horatio are very close?",Calleigh asked with a soft smile.

"Yes he raised me after my father was put in prison for torturing me. He's done so much for me I'm very greatful for that.",Amy replied

"That's wonderful",The both of us said in unison. Before anyone of us could say anything Eric comes in the room.

"I'm sorry to disturb you ladies the fingerprint on the knife matches Jason Santana the DNA is also a match to Jason",Eric said as he handed me the results.

"I'll give Judge Harris a call to get an arrest warrant",Calleigh said as she stepped out to give her a call.

"Eric this is Amy Martin Amy this is Eric Delko",I said with a smile.

"Hi Amy it's a pleasure to meet you",Eric said with a smile as he shook Amy's hand.

"It's nice to meet you as well Eric if you need anything else let me know.",Amy replied with a smile.

"We'll keep that in mind",Natalia and Eric said in unison as they walked out of the room. A few minutes after they left Amy's phone goes off it was a phone call from Horatio she smiled and picked up the phone.
