The kindness that was radiating from Alex made Jez feel like there was possibly an ending to this horrific situation. Jez wished it were as simple as telling Devyn to just leave her alone and to stay away, but it was never that simple. Jez felt a surge of rage building inside her, the beating Devyn gave her, the pain, the humiliation that she felt going to the Authorities on Kelva Prime, the shame she felt as the medical staff tended to her wounds, How for weeks her neck and back hurt her, how she turned away from the mirror after showering because it was too wrenching to look at the bruises on her sternum. Devyn had turned her from a strong Star Fleet Security Officer into a battered woman; he took her dignity and her power.
Alex was right. Devyn had used her and manipulated her. Yes, Devyn was rich and powerful, and that probably blinded her to who he really was. It never occurred to her that he could be a rotten person; she assumed, with his background, education, and breeding, that he was a decent and respectable man.
Fighting back tears, Jez said, “I.. I ..I have holoimages from the Medical Clinic on Kelva Prime, as well as a Police report from their law enforcement, if you want to call it that.” Said Jez, her voice almost cracking.
Suddenly, Commander Velaul appeared. Jez felt ashamed to be in her presence. Commander Velaul was a strong, independent woman, and here was Jez, her eyes red and her voice strained. She could imagine Beno mopping the floor with Devyn
But right now, Jez just wanted to hug Alex and never let him go; he was a rock, a beacon of what a real man should be. She could clearly see why Beno was attracted to him; by all standards, he was just the best. The rumors that were going around were that Alex and Beno had secretly been married, but no one has presented clear evidence to that being true. Jez’s instincts told her they were more than friends, but not quite lovers. Jez cracked a little smile when Beno said, "Miss me anyone?" and then sat next to Alex again.
Beno could have sat at either of the two empty chairs, but she sat right next to Alex.
~ See, she clearly is into you. ~
“If you’ll excuse me. I’ll leave you two alone. I have some communications to send to be ready for my case.” Said Jez, with a playful smile.
