Chapter Eight.
Alison was sitting in the hall outside the court-martial chamber next to her new fiancée and Doc who was keeping a close eye on her since she was not released from his medical care yet. She was nervous and in a lot of pain. She was also grieving for the loss of the child she didn't know she was carrying until it was too late. There were guards around her. She was doped up on pain meds and still had the IV shunt still in. She didn't notice the MP's start to bring Flint down the hall.
Flint saw her though and started to tell her that she’ll be his again.
Wild Bill snapped, “Like hell, she is, Dash. If you don’t notice the ring on her ring finger, she’s my wife to be now, because you cheated on her and thus broke the two of you up, she is now with me, a man who respects and honors her instead of a man who beat her up,” He looked at the MPs who were hauling him to the court room. “Get that low life loser in there.”
They dragged him into the court room with him kicking and screaming that she’ll be by his side by the time this is through.
Wild Bill looked at Alison. “Don’t worry about him; I doubt the court will let him out on bail.”
Lifeline looked at him. “With the assault on Jaye done here on the base, I seriously doubt that they will let him go without a steep bail.”
It was about twenty minutes later; the MPs were hauling a crying Dash back out of the room to his cell. Hawk and Duke came out and looked at them both.
Hawk spoke, “They will be starting the trial in two hours. Our lawyer had demanded to get this over with fast and that Dash gets no bail whatsoever, because of his possibility of flight risk. They gave him a fifty million dollar bail which he can’t really pay up,”
Alison smiled weakly, as Wild Bill smiled. “What did he do in there? Claim that I did the attack on her and blaming it on him?”
Duke looked at him and nodded. “When the charges were handed out to him, he immediately started to rant that Wild Bill is the one who did the attack on you. Sadly, his claims will be silenced when he sees the video that he was the only person who entered her office before she did and then seen leaving her office with a bloody lip from a good blow from Jaye’s hand and plus that Jaye has revealed that it was him who attacked her.”
"I just want to get this over and done with. Oh Hawk. My father is on his way. He's bringing his lawyer with him." Jaye told him.
“By the time, he gets here; I believe the trial will be over, I don’t see the other side making any tries to slow everything down to where they could get here in time, Alison.” Hawk said.
Alison nodded, “But I’m sure my dad will not be very happy with the court if his lawyer isn’t allowed to ask him why?”
Hawk knew that was on the minds of everyone there, why did Flint do this to Lady Jaye. “That will probably be answered by him or at least he’ll try to push it off on Bill who attacked you, not him, he was the ever devoted boyfriend before you dumped him for an abuser like Bill.” Hawk stated.
“I am no woman beater, I never hit a woman unless it was unintentional, sir.” Bill said.
“I know that, but Flint will try to turn the beating of Alison onto you,” Duke replied.
“And the video and Jaye’s words will come to haunt him as he thinks that Jaye still loves him and that this is nothing more then a summer time fling to show him how she felt with him cheating on her,” Law said, as he walked over to them.
“How do you know that’s what he thinks?” Bill asked.
“Well, I was in the room while he was speaking with his lawyer and he told him that he didn’t attempt to kill or beat Jaye up, that it is her new boyfriend who did it because he is afraid of losing her back to him as she was returning to him.” Law replied.
“That fucking lying stinking bastard! I would never beat Jaye up ever! I love her more then life itself! I would die first!” Bill roared in anger.
Alison looked at Law. “I do not ever want to return to him, he cheated on me with another woman, got her with child and after I told him over again that it was over between us, he flew into a rage and beat me up and killed my unborn baby!”
Law knew from the others that Jaye and Flint were a tight couple, they never thought they would break up but after he cheated on her, she broke it off for good and he kept on seeing her and thinking that they were getting back together, Law knew that Flint was not being reasonable when it came to Jaye herself. “Maybe he is mental?”
"We need to have him evaluated by Psyche Out ASAP." Hawk ordered. "We need him on this before Flint's lawyers own come in and testify that Dash is sane, when it is possible that he ain’t."
“I doubt that they will even think of a mental defense, Hawk, but I do see your point, if Flint is mentally unstable at the time of the attack, he could be dishonorably discharged quite easily and yet, Jaye won’t have to confront her attacker, but I feel that Jaye needs to confront him to make him see that he never had her in months, if he believes her.” Doc said. “But I do think we need to get it done ASAP. I’ll go get Psyche Out here immediately and get him into a room so we can put Flint there to talk to her about why he did such a thing to Lady Jaye.”
It didn’t take Doc too long to get Psyche Out there and in a private room with Flint inside the room. It was only fifteen minutes later, he stepped from the room and within the room, they could hear Flint screaming that Jaye is his girlfriend, she’s still his before the door closed behind him.
“So what’s the verdict?” asked Hawk.
“I won’t declare my verdict of him till I am called, Hawk. I hope you understand.” Psyche Out said.
“We understand,” Hawk replied. He really wanted to know what his opinion is on Flint, but cause of the case being done at that time, if he told him, it would give Jaye’s side too much evidence against Flint even though they don’t really need it because of all the evidence they had collected over the years on him.
Jaye was hurting but most of those around her would not notice it. Doc, Lifeline and Wild Bill took notice of Jaye’s behavior and they knew she was hurting.
“Sweetie, are you feeling okay? Maybe we should delay her testimony for another day?” asked Wild Bill.
Jaye snapped. “No, I want this done with as soon as possible! I’m just hurting because he hurt me so bad and I have no clue to why he would do such a thing to me. He had claimed to love me and yet he did this to me!”
Wild Bill took her into his arms. "I don't know either. But I won't let him do it again. He'll have to go through me first."
"Jaye if you are hurting it would be better to post pone it until tomorrow or the next day. He'll be in the brig so he won't be bothering you." Hawk told her gently.
“I know but I just want this whole thing over with as soon as possible,” Jaye replied, looking at him.
“I agree with her, Hawk. The sooner the better, who knows he may con one of the guards to let him out and he comes after Jaye and seriously hurts her to the point he kills her,” Wild Bill said.
“Very well, I’ll see what I can do as in pushing the trial up an hour,” Hawk replied, as he stepped into the room and spoke with the judges. He came out about ten minutes later. “They agreed to push up the trial. It will start in fifty minutes.”
“Thank God!” Wild Bill said, as he wrapped his arm around Jaye and held her close to his chest. “Soon, my love, soon, he will be out of our lives forever,”
“I hope so,” Jaye replied.
~~~~~~~~~~
Fifty minutes came and the JAG representing Jaye stated the case to the court and proceeded to call witnesses. It was a long grueling hour before Lady Jaye was called to the stand.
“Tell me of your relationship with the defendant Dash Faireborn?” asked the JAG.
“He was my boyfriend up to four months ago, when I found him cheating on me with another woman who ended up pregnant with his child. I dumped him that day.” Jaye said.
The JAG asked her more questions about the relationship and then the day that she started to let him back into her life.
“His mistress Angela Locksbury called me telling me that he was with her and various other stuff, he told me before that he dumped her to regain me in his life, but his mistress blew it out of the water by telling me that he was with her for lunch and when I asked him about it, he claimed he was with his mother, I knew that had to be another lie and I told him that I wanted nothing to do with him anymore but he didn’t buy my words.” Jaye said, keeping her eyes on the JAG.
“So he kept associating with you?”
“Yes, but I never considered him boyfriend material after that. I was through with him forever. I started to date another team member Wild Bill after that.” Jaye said.
“And what was Dash’s response to that?”
“He was not pleased with me. He told me that I was still his girlfriend and that I was the one now cheating on him. I set him straight by throwing him down to the ground with my foot to his neck and told him that we are no longer dating anymore since he was found out to have a pregnant mistress. I got up and walked away from him with him yelling at me that I’ll be his once more,” Jaye replied.
"And did he confront your new boyfriend at all that day?"
"Yes, though I did not see it. Bill came to the suite I shared with my best friend, Scarlett, with a split lip and a black eye." She answered. She saw Flint out of the corner of her eye and he was seething. She didn’t care what he did as it was no longer any of her concern how he reacted to her anymore.
“What did your superior officer say about this?” asked the JAG.
“We reported what Flint did and learned that Flint had a record about an entire cabinet file full of reports from various team members about his behavior, from waking people up in the middle of the night with phone calls and harassing people but never once did his behavior go violent towards anyone till that day. All because I was not dating him anymore and that Wild Bill was my new boyfriend. I believed that he was jealous because he couldn’t have me as his girlfriend anymore.” Jaye said.
“The day of the attack, what happened?” The JAG asked.
Jaye breathed in and let out her breath. She told the court who attacked her and what was said as everyone knew Lady Jaye had a photographic memory and could tell them anything about what she had read over ten minutes ago.
The JAG held up a video tape in his hand. “I would like to present evidence #102 video surveillance of Lady Jaye’s corridor before and after the attack.”
“So entered,” The judge spoke. Flint bent to his lawyer and started to whisper.
The JAG pushed play and showed the Judge and the defense attorney the video of Flint walking into Lady Jaye’s office and a good looking Lady Jaye with no sign of any attack on her person and it was about ten minutes later before Flint was seen coming out of the room with a bloodied lip which he wiped with his hand before walking towards the camera and then out of view. Then, about ten minutes later, Duke was seen walking down the hallway and knocking on her door before slamming the door open and a few minutes later, Lifeline and his medical response team appeared in the corridor and then Duke stepping from the room and looked up at the camera and headed off as Lady Jaye was brought out on a gurney towards the medical center.
“That is all for the time being.” The JAG replied.
Dash’s lawyer stood up and looked at his paper. “My client said that you were the one who attacked your boyfriend that day and you’re blaming it on him and the assault that my client did to you was really done by your boyfriend when he learned that you were pregnant correct?”
“That is another lie done by Dash. Dash is jealous that he doesn’t have me in his life anymore and what’s worse is that he attacked me as you saw on the video the only person who entered my office was Flint. I told him once again that he was not my boyfriend and he started to call me names as he was beating me up and I have a very, very good memory when it comes to this, sir.” Lady Jaye replied. She did not like him very much. He is buying Dash’s lies of her being his girlfriend and that Wild Bill was in fact was the one who did the attack on her.
The defense attorney tried to make it look like that she was covering up for her new boyfriend who did the deed and not Flint but Jaye stuck to her story and the defense attorney couldn’t get her to admit that it was her new boyfriend who attacked her and not Dash. He gave up on trying to get her to admit that her boyfriend did it and ended his cross examination of her.
Jaye with the help of Lifeline and Doc got off the stand and walked out of the court room even though she was done testifying, the ordeal was hard for her. As she walked past Flint’s table, he growled angrily at her and whispered, “You will be mine when this is over with, I will have you in my life again, Alison,”
Jaye heard the threat and turned to the JAG and informed him of his threat once again and that he said it just now. The JAG looked at Flint and then to the judges. “Your honors, could you please inform the defendant not to go about threatening the witness with threats?”
The main judge looked at Flint and glared at him. “If I hear that you threatened that woman or anyone else who is going to be testifying in this hearing, I’ll have you removed from this room while people are testifying against you to where you can view the proceedings by a closed TV. Understand?”
“Yes sir,” Dash said, with a lowered head.
Doc, Lifeline and Jaye sat down on the booth outside of the court room. Doc checked the IV and then looked at her. “I seriously doubt that Flint will get out of this very easily. The judges didn’t take too well of his comment to you. I’m sure that the judges probably have made up their minds about what to do with Flint but they want to have everything on the table before they hand over their judgment on him,”
“I am one who doesn’t like guns but I think for what Flint did, warrants the death penalty by firing squad.” Lifeline replied.
“If he was in Cobra, that’s what they would do, if he is found guilty, he would be put to death immediately, no chance of getting the verdict overturned or anything.” Spoke a voice coming from the door. They turned to see it was Tomax who was standing there.
Jaye tried to stand up as Lifeline went to inject her with a pain killer. "It's been a long time Tomax." She said evenly. Doc gently pushed her back down into the chair so Lifeline could finish with the injection.
Tomax went to her side and kissed both of her cheeks. “I’m sorry; I wished that I was here to help protect you.”
“Well, if everything goes smoothly, Flint will no longer be Mr. I’m above the law when he barges into your office now, you can have him arrested for harassment now,” Jaye smiled.
Tomax smiled. “That will be a pleasure to finally get to call the police on him and have him tried in a court of law, we have so many videos of him barging into our office it could fill a bathroom tub to have him convicted oh so fast. We brought a few of them with us which we gave to the JAG. My brother is on the stand right now.” As he sat down across from the threesome.
~~~~~~~~~
They all talked till Wild Bill came out and spoke, “Flint’s taking the stand now,”
“Oh what will he try to say that I was beaten by you, Wild Bill?” asked Jaye.
“Probably, pretty lady,” Wild Bill replied.
They stepped into the courtroom and heard Flint testify that he was no where near Jaye’s office during the time of the attack, and when the JAG cross examined him stating that Hawk had stated that he saw you come down the stairs, he took note of the closing third floor door which led to Lady Jaye’s office and that you had claimed to have got hit in the jaw by a recruit when Hawk asked the recruiting officer Beachhead about if you were there for morning workouts with the recruits you were not even there. Flint showed the court his temper right there stating that Hawk didn’t ask the recruits themselves but Beach.
The JAG asked him. “So what you are saying is that your commanding officer is as you said . . . a fucking liar?”
Jaye looked over at Hawk as Flint spoke. Flint looked directly at Jaye so Wild Bill pulled her gently but tightly to him.
“Your honors, please tell the defendant to answer the question?” the JAG asked, noticing that Flint was not answering the question but glaring at a former witness in the galley. He stepped in view of Flint blocking the person in question from his line of sight.
The judges informed him if he didn’t answer the question he would be found guilty of contempt of court.
Flint snarled. “Yes, I do.”
Lady Jaye took note of Hawk’s hand now it was in a tight fist. Hawk was not very pleased by how Flint called him a fucking liar to the court room.
“So you are informing the court that Hawk lied on the witness stand stating that you were not there with Beachhead tending to the new recruits?” The JAG asked.
Flint bit his lip. He knew that he was now caught in a lie about his superior officer. He had to continue the lies or be found guilty as he wanted to be free to go after Jaye again and make her see that he is the only man for her. “Yes,”
Hawk wanted so much to stand up and yell he’s a liar that he concentrated on breathing instead. He swore that Flint if they didn’t find him guilty would be demoted big time back to being a recruit under Beachhead and have him go through the ranks till he regains his rank again.
Lady Jaye laid her head on Wild Bill's shoulder as the drugs made her a little drowsy. She continued to watch the scene before her.
"And are you calling the recruiting officer, Beachhead, a liar as well Warrant Officer Faireborn?" The JAG prosecutor demanded.
“Yes,” Flint said.
This time, no one could contain Beachhead’s rage as he barked off that Flint was the lying sack of shit. It took the other Joes to get Beachhead to sit back down but Beachhead was fuming mad at Flint for calling him a liar on the stand.
The prosecutor asked. “Tell me what you witnessed on this video, Mr. Faireborn?” He replayed the video of him going into Lady Jaye’s office very clean on his face and then he emerged from the room with a bloody lip.
“That wasn’t me! I was no where near her!” Flint restated.
“Then, why was there your DNA markers coming out of her office? Law found blood droplets leading away from Lady Jaye’s office to the staircase, the DNA expert had already stated that it was your DNA that was there and it was a fresh sample. How did your blood magically appear there when you claim that you were no where near that area?”
Flint shrugged. “Maybe Bill got some of my blood from the blood depository and dripped it along after he assaulted his girlfriend after she told him that she was with child.”
The JAG looked at the judges. “That is all I have for now. I may want to examine him again.”
The judges nodded and told Flint he could step down and return to his seat, which he did as he did so, he glared at Wild Bill and Jaye.
"The defense calls Psyche Out to the stand." Flint's JAG lawyer said. The entire room was quiet as Psyche Out came in and took his oath of telling the truth then set down. "You examined my client isn't that correct?"
"Yes."
"And what did you find?"
"I found that Flint is Narcissistic, has bouts of Mania, Depression and Delusions. He is suffering from Delusional Misidentification Syndrome, Erotomania and Violence, Pathological Love, Pathological Jealousy, Paraphilaticas. He suffers from hallucinations at times. And often has Violent Fantasies. He suffers from Anti-Social Personality Disorder." Psyche Out testified.
"So are you saying he is mentally ill?"
"To a certain extent, I have to recommend commitment."
“As in . . . what kind of commitment, Psyche Out,” His lawyer asked.
“Placed in the care of a mental health facility for the rest of his life, I feel that he is a threat to anyone who he feels is between his object of his affection and himself, as he has shown this past month with the attack on Lady Jaye,” Psyche Out said.
“But it wasn’t Flint who attacked Lady Jaye,” his lawyer stated.
“I saw the tape, spoke with Flint and then with Lady Jaye to know who attacked her and it was not her current boyfriend Wild Bill but her ex-boyfriend Flint. Flint pushed the fact that he attacked her out of his mind because to him he didn’t but the evidence proved otherwise as well as the words from Lady Jaye herself,” Psyche Out stated.
“Is that your opinion or that of a woman who doesn’t really remember who attacked her and blaming it on her ex when it was her current boyfriend?” the lawyer asked.
“Lady Jaye is known for her honesty and her photographic memory. I asked her a few hours after the assault and she told me that it was Flint who attacked her and killed her unborn baby.” Psyche Out replied, looking towards Flint, to see the man looking defiantly towards him, glaring at him with an evil look. Psyche Out knew Flint was a dangerous man on base and now that he was called mental, he was pissed off to say the least.
“But she was drugged up, how could she remember so clearly an incident a few hours before?” he asked.
“She has a photographic memory; everyone knows that, here on the base.” Psyche Out replied.
“That is all I have for this witness.” Flint’s lawyer said, returning to his seat.
The prosecutor stood up and asked, “How dangerous is Flint to remain a member of the G.I. Joe terroristic task force and be in the military?”
“Very dangerous to his teammates and to anyone else around him for he could snap and murder everyone who he thinks is a threat to himself or to the one he cares about,” Psyche Out replied.
“What would be your recommendation in handling Flint?”
“Immediate dishonorable discharge and banning him from owning any weapons for life,” Psyche Out stated.
That comment got Flint riled and he roared his anger at him from his place while his lawyer tried to get him to sit down and shut up. It took three MPs to get him seated once again and quieted down.
“That’s all I have to ask of this witness,” the JAG stated, as he sat down.
The judges allowed Psyche Out to step down, which he did and walked past Jaye and smiled to her because his testimony sealed Flint’s military career’s coffin shut, Flint would not be allowed to remain in the military now.
“Thank you,” Wild Bill whispered, as Psyche Out smiled as he walked out of the room.
“We will take the evidence we heard into the chambers and we will return with a verdict shortly.” The judges said, as they left the court room for their chamber to talk this case out and to give their verdict in it.
Lady Jaye shook slightly with nervousness and the sudden outburst of Flint frightened her. She felt Wild Bill's eyes on her. “I’m just spooked, that’s all. He screamed at me while he was attacking me, he looked like a dog on rabies, foaming at the mouth as he yelled at me.”
Wild Bill felt her shiver underneath him and he held her close to him as they waited for the judges to return to the court room with their verdict on Flint.
~~~~~~~~
It was less than an hour when they came back with their verdict. Jaye was tense as she anxiously waited for the verdict.
“Would Mr. Faireborn please stand and hear the judgment of this court?” spoke the main judge. Flint and his attorney stood up to hear the judgment. Everyone in the courtroom held their breaths waiting for the verdict that would seal Flint’s military career for good. “We find the defendant Warrant Officer Dash Faireborn . . . guilty on all charges. Sentence is life in prison with no chance of parole. Mr. Faireborn, you are hereby stripped of all rank, and privileges associated with said rank. You are hereby dishonorably discharged from the military as of today. With being dishonorably discharged from the military, that revokes all military benefits including medical care and the veteran’s home for when you are older. You are hereby placed on the No Fly list for your terroristic behavior; you are no longer able to have a firearm legally. You are no longer a member of the anti-terroristic task force G.I. Joe.”
The courtroom erupted in loud cheers of joys as Flint slumped in his chair dejected as he got the verdict that he didn’t really expect to hear – he thought his lies were good enough to set him free to get Lady Jaye back into his life again but now the truth hit him hard as a rock as he started to weep as the MPs started to haul him away to the military federal prison where he would be staying for the rest of his natural life.
“It’s over, Alison. Flint is no longer a member of the team and no longer able to hurt you or anyone else for the rest of his natural life. You are free from him,” Wild Bill said. “And now we can plan our marriage without him wreaking it,”
Alison looked at him and smiled. "Yes we can. I'm looking forward to it."
