" Assault charges and arrest orders" ( continued from Phillip's "Downward Spiral" ) ______________________________________________ Location: Earth, France, Paris Scene: Daisy's hotel suite, Livingroom -> Bedroom Stardate: 2.70331.0556 ______________________________________________ "Now what's wrong?" Daisy sat beside her and asked. Lynette explained last night's episode, her drinking, out of control dancing, but it was the final bit that surprised Daisy most of all. "It's terrible. I wasn't sure what to think. I was freaking out. I don't remember much." Lynette stood up from the couch and began pacing around the room, her mind wracked with guilt and confusion. "It was a huge shock, I woke up in his bed and was freaking out. I got dressed and made a quick break. I didn't know where to go, but I knew where you were staying. I needed someone to talk to." "That's fine. But who's bed?" Daisy was concerned and curious. Lynette took a deep breath. Many times she would open her mouth, but no sound came out. It was a difficult thing to say. "I think I slept with Cade." Daisy blinked awkwardly, then squared her shoulders and calmly replied. "Come with me." Then, she guided the younger woman to the bedroom. "Oh, god..." Lynette wimpered, obediently following. "You're furious. You're going to kill me." "Don't be stupid, Lieutenant." Daisy laughed flatly, holding the younger woman's arm. "I'm going to give you a proper medical exam and scan you for DNA, put together a forensic profile of where you've been and who you've been with incase you need to file any criminal charges...." Lynette pulled back, surprised. "I never said anything about criminal charges!" Daisy pulled a medical kit out of the closet and looked back at Lynette, confused. "I don't understand. Then, why are you here? I thought you were scared you'd been taken advantage of in your intoxicated state...." Lynette found herself arguing, defending Cade. "I never said I thought he was a monster. I just didn't remember everything and I was embarrassed. I thought I'd slept with your boyfriend...." The younger woman looked flabbergasted when Daisy lightly plopped the medical kit onto the bed next to her and laughed. "Is that what everyone thinks? That he's my boyfriend?" "You guys were living together for months..." Lynette stammered sheepishly. "Not that it's any of your business...." Daisy began to chide the young woman gently. "But, I'm a doctor and I'm his friend." Lynette hung her head and looked ashamed. "Well, I'm your friend, too - and when I thought I'd done something to damage that..." Daisy rolled her eyes and groaned. Then, she explained..."He was still recovering from what happened on the DAGOSIN mission. The man was not well enough to live alone - but well enough of a pain in the ass to be a disruption in sickbay. I put him in my bed and I slept on that big, comfy couch in my livingroom so I didn't have to worry about Dr. Jos one day completely 'losing it' and shoving Cade out the nearest airlock." Lynette protested. "You're lying to spare my feelings...I've seen how you guys are together. You're..." "We joke around." Daisy scolded her. "We flirt. And I wouldn't "lie to spare your feelings" if I thought as you'd put it, that you'd slept with my boyfriend. I wouldn't even be speaking to you at all. I'd leave you here and go strangle him and leave it at that." Confused, Lynette watched Daisy smoothly stand and open her med kit. "I still want to examine you.... hold still." she ordered the younger woman calmly. "Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you'd hate me." Lynette sniffled. "Not going to happen." Daisy replied calmly, shaking her head. "I'm your XO, Lynette. First thing I do when you come to me saying you drank too much, you don't remember all that happened and you're scared and confused....is find the truth and help you be ok with it." "Even when it involves ....Cade?" she groaned. "The possibility of an intoxicated young woman being taken advantage of?" Daisy almost laughed. "Doesn't matter who the guy is. Helping you come first. We'll make sure nothing inappropriate happened to you, ok?" "No, no, no, no..." Lynette protested again. "I wasn't taken advantage of. I just thought I'd done something stupid..." "It's ok to have doubts....you're memory is fuzzy..." Daisy admitted, staying neutral. The much younger woman groaned uncomfortably and admitted. "Foster is obnoxious and creepy and really, really ...old. But, I never pictured him the 'taking advantage' type...." Daisy finished studying the tricorder reading and laughed. "Watch it. He's only a few years older than me." Lynette's eyes widened and she gulped. "Sorry. You don't look....I mean." "I'll take that as a compliment." Daisy chuckled. "Now, how about I tell you what happened?" "You can do that, from scanning me?" "From reading the trace DNA left on you, yes...." Daisy smiled. "Please tell me what happened!" The younger woman begged. "You kissed. I can tell you that much. There are still epithelials around and inside your mouth." Lynette touched her face like she wanted to go drink a gallon of mouthwash. "The traces of his DNA on your hands imply a hug. Then, a quick forensic profile of the residuals on your clothes and the trace patterns on your skin suggests he undressed you and there's nothing to imply you were sexually molested." "Really?" Lynette looked relieved. "Oh, I'll be honest with you." Daisy admitted gently. She returned the tricorder to it's case and said, "If I know Foster...he probably thought about it and maybe took it to 'second base' or so...and then figured it would be more fun to just scare you. He took it upon himself to try and scare you from ever drinking so heavily again..." The relief turned to anger and she stood up in a huff. "To scare me?" "Yes, it's exactly the type of prank he would do.... to make you think you'd done something stupid....just so he could laugh at you.... and stop you from your own destructive behavior" "I'll kill him." she hissed. "I believe the appropriate responce would actually be an assault charge." Daisy replied calmly. "And, your case is already open and shut..." "I wasn't raped." Lynette scoffed. "Is that still assault?" "Undressing you without your consent, invading your privacy..." Daisy admitted coldly. "He went too far with this little prank ....to have this laugh at your expense....now, he's looking at brig time." "I'll settle for an apology and a chance to punch him in the face...." Lynette offered. "I just thought I'd done something stupid and you would be angry with me...." "You *DID* do something stupid, Lynette...." Daisy chided her. "You wrecklessly over-indulged in alchohol and someone other than Cade could easily have done far worse to you....in his own twisted way, he probably thought he was protecting you, taking you home with him. His little 'prank', though... taking off your clothes without your permission, that was wrong, too." "I'm an adult." Lynette argued. "If I want to drink..." "To the point of blacking out?" Daisy argued right back. "Dangerous and stupid and I want you getting some counseling....as for Foster? Just a moment." Daisy tapped her comm badge. "Commander Davidson to Dr. Cade Foster...." His voice came through the comm system, dripping with sarcasm and laughter. [[ "Yes....my queen ??? ]] Lynette began yelling. "You rotten son of a bitch..." [[ "Oh, is the poor little baby already there crying to her Mommy? ]] There was a smug little grin on Daisy's face as she coldly informed him. "You are ordered to stay where you are. I'm having you arrested on assault charges....." [[ "WHAT?! I never laid a hand on her...." ]] "Yes, you did, Cade. Being a doctor does not mean you can undress her without her...." [[ "I'm a doctor....she's got nothing I haven't seen....]] "Your little prank crossed the line." Daisy replied. "I'll have Matthew there to take you into custody shortly. We'll be leaving to go back to our ship and I'm ordering you to spend the next 30 days in our brig." [[ "No way! Can't she take a joke?" ]] "Stay where you are. I'll get back to you." The transmission ended, Daisy tapped her comm badge once again. "Commander Davidson to Lt. Matthew Aspinall....." [[ "Yeah, Daisy...why so formal?" ]] "Because I'm contacting you on official business.... I need you to make an arrest....you are to take Cade Foster into custody immediately and he is to begin a 30 day sentence in our brig as soon as it can be arranged.." [[ "Oh, god...please don't make me have that man in my brig for 30 days...." ]] complained the Chief of Security. [[ " I know he's your friend. But he's soooo annoying....what did he do?" ]] "It's an assault charge, Matthew." She heard Matthew gulp distinctly and immediately correct his previous statement. [[ "I'm on my way, Commander. I'll have him in custody and be ready to leave with you for GATEWAY immediately." ]] "Thank you." Once the transmission ended, Lynette sniffled once more and almost whimpered. "I'm sorry." "Stop apologizing." Daisy scolded her. Then, the XO promptly called Kate back into the room. "Dr. MacNeil. I want you to take Lynette and go see Lara for a Counseling session....I must get my children ready to leave... and contact Captain Zanders...." The suddenly formal tone of Daisy's voice gave Kate chills. She immediately nodded and replied, "Aye, Commander..." ______________________________________________________ NRPG: Phillip, I felt strongly Cade wouldn't have truly taken sexual advantage of Lynette. I hope you don't mind. But, I still wrote him doing something wrong and he's getting Brig time for misdemeaner assault. I hope you like it. Jamie - I hope you'll enjoy writing Aerdan reacting to Cade being in the brig when we're back on the ship. This post is the beginning of our crew getting ready to leave -if there is anything left you want to do before you leave earth - do it now. Naomi - sorry, I think we'll have to come up with something different for Foster. Lynette ended up in his bed first. LOL Perhaps you'd like to have your character happen to be staying nearby when Matthew comes to arrest Cade? :) Erik - looking forward to you getting our JP done! :) Margie - TAG! VERY eager to see your next post!
