Los Angeles Superior Courthouse
Los Angeles, California
May 3rd, 2003
Jason was doing everything he can to try and stay calm, however, he was a wreck inside. As he appeared in court to answer the charges against him, he wasn't surprised to look over his shoulder to find Victoria sitting on the other side of the courtroom; trying to play off as if she's the victim. If anyone's the victim in this case, it's him; especially after the hell he's endured when he got locked up and was formally charged with assault.
When the news of his arrest reached back to his friends, they knew right away that he would never do anything like that. So, with Tommy and Kim leading the charge, Jason was quickly bailed out and was back home, where he belonged. However, he became a recluse; not wanting to deal with anyone because he just wanted to wallow in his pity. When he finally decided to show his face in public, he was looking like a shell of his former self and that was pitiful because he's not used to getting so much negative attention.
To further add insult to injury, a few days before he appeared in court, he received a phone call from Victoria. He was about to hang up when she decided to make him an offer he can't refuse. She'll drop the charges against him if he breaks up with Trini and take her back; otherwise, the former redhead will find a way to amp up the case against him, even going so far than to accuse him of letting the man he caught her having sex with last year rape her!
Horrified at what she just said, Jason hung up the phone in a haste and threw it on the floor. To his credit, however, he made sure to record their phone conversation and quickly handed a copy over to Trini and her law firm for leverage. They knew that she was gonna try something, so they had the tape in handy just in case.
Little did he know, he's gonna get some much more needed help from an unlikely source before it's all said and done.
"Now, remember, babe, let me and Donovan handle this. Don't look at her, don't speak to her and don't make a big scene because that's exactly what she wants you to do," Trini whispered to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. Sitting next to her at the defense's table was her co-counsel Donovan Griffin, a high profile attorney known for using questionable, but effective tactics in exonerating his clients.
"I will. I just can't believe she decided to show her face; trying to make herself out to be a victim when I'm the victim here," Jason huffed under his breath.
"Don't worry, man. When we get through with her, she's gonna be crying wolf. Something's not right with that girl," Donovan said, glaring at Victoria, who didn't notice his glare because she was checking herself in her compact mirror to make sure she looked presentable.
"Here's come the judge," Trini whispered as everyone stood up and watched the judge making his appearance from his private chambers and headed towards his table.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'll hear the people on bail," Judge Jonathan Brockman said, getting right to the chase.
"$200,000, your honor. The defendant is a flight risk and we are seeking a lengthy prison sentence for assault," prosecutor Gina Rice said, looking over at the defense's table.
"Do the defense have any objections?" judge Brockman asked.
"Yes, we do. The people don't even have a case. My client has an airtight alibi. He was spending the evening with my co-counsel, who he happens to be dating and I have five witnesses who will testify that his car was parked there the entire night and he left shortly before 6am the next morning," Donovan replied.
"Is that right?" Brockman asked, arching his eyebrow up in skepticism.
"Yes, your honor. We also have witnesses who can verify that my client arrived at his residence around 6:30am, and even stopped to speak with one of the residents before going inside his condo," Donovan added.
"According to the witness' medical records, she was assaulted between the hours of 5:30am and 6:30am," Gina jumped in, holding up several documents in her hands.
"Which would've been impossible because my client didn't leave for work until around 7:30am. He arrived at his place of employment at 8:00am and was seen the entire time there. Also, I'm befuddled that two uniformed officers showed up at his place of employment and placed him the back of the squad car without any provocation. Last time I checked, he wasn't under arrest, he wasn't read his Miranda rights and he was only charged after a seasoned detective showed him the photos of the injuries the witness supposedly sustained," Donovan said, which shocked everyone in the courtroom.
"Mr. Scott wasn't placed under arrest? Do you have any explanation to why, counselor?" Brockman asked, turning his attention towards the prosecutor.
"Uh, at this time, no, your honor," Gina said, lowering her head in shame.
"Figures as much. The fact that this case even made it to court without a proper investigation baffles me. Oh, and given that the witness has her own legal issues involving my client and my co-counsel to contend with, I'm questioning her motives to why she would bring charges against him in the first place," Donovan said, which caused Victoria's eyes to widen in shock. How the hell does he know about her legal issues?!
"That's irrelevant, your honor," Gina protested, but Donovan was just getting started.
"I have to agree with the people, counselor. You're way off base here," Brockman replied.
"I'm not off base, your honor. The witness has everything to do with what my client's going through right now. We have concrete evidence that she's been stalking him for over a year and she has an breaking and entering, attempted sexual assault and vehicular assault charges under her belt. In addition to her being caught on camera breaking into my client's home, she also contacted him through the phone and threatened to claim that she was raped by the man she was caught having sex with last year, that ultimately lead to their breakup," Donovan said, adding more fuel to the fire.
"Your honor, this is absolutely absurd and completely irrelevant to the matter at hand!" Gina shouted, but it was clear that even she was now questioning the credibility of this case.
"I'm afraid not, counselor. I even have the taped phone conversation, which took place just a few days ago, present in my possession. Shall we listen to it?" Donovan asked as he popped the tape in the tape player and pushed 'play'. Soon enough, the unmistakable sounds of Victoria and Jason engaging in a heated conversation started echoing the courtroom.
"Hello, Jason."
"Why are you calling me, Victoria?! I'm hanging up right now!"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, love. I'm sorry I had to get you arrested, but you left me no choice. I love you so much and if it means I had to ruin your life in order to get you back, then so be it."
"You're fucking sick in the head, you know that?"
"I'm sick for you, love. But, I can make this all go away if you do something for me."
"How?"
"I'm willing to drop the charges against you if you break up with Trini and come back to me. If not, I won't hesitate to tell the judge that you allowed the man you caught me having sex with last year rape me."
"Are you kidding me right now?! After all the hell you put me through, you really would go there?!"
"Sometimes, if you really love someone that much, you have to take him down a peg or two in order to see your plans through. That's exactly what I'm doing, Jason. If it means having to put you in jail in order for you to realize that I still love you, then so be it. I'm sorry it has come to this, but you leave me with no other choice."
"Victoria, how can you be so malicious towards me?!"
"Believe me, love, I'm just getting started. Now, remember what I said and I hope you make the right decision soon..."
"Your honor, how could you let this happen?" Gina asked, looking completely shocked and disgusted at what she just heard.
"No, how could you let this spiral out of control? As I mentioned before, the fact that this even made it to court without a proper investigation baffles me. And, I have one more piece of jaw dropping evidence from an anonymous source that clearly indicates my client's innocence," Donovan said, pulling several documents out of his briefcase.
"Do you have it with you, counselor?" Brockman asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Here they are," Donovan said as he handed them over to the bailiff, who in turn, handed them over to the judge.
"Man, he is really good," Jason whispered in Trini's ear.
"I'm telling you, babe. He knows what he's doing. Even though his practices are questionable at times, his win/loss ratio is off the charts and he has helped me with my cases along the way. I'm happy to be paired up with him because we are pretty unbeatable. Don't worry about it, okay? You're gonna be out of here by the end of the day," she whispered back with a smile on her face.
Jason nodded his head and sighed as he looked over his shoulder and was shocked to find that Victoria has disappeared. He stood up for a second to see where she had gone, but when he couldn't find her, he sat back down and shrugged his shoulders; quickly putting that situation in the back of his mind. He still had more pressing matters to attend to.
"Who were you looking for, Jase?" Trini asked, looking confused.
"Victoria. She suddenly disappeared. I wondered where she run off to," he said, looking around the room to find her.
"I don't know and, frankly, I don't care. Let's just focus on getting you out of here," she said in a soft, firm tone.
"I've seen enough. Based on the evidence that was being presented and the fact that Mr. Scott has been completely railroaded without a proper investigation, I hereby absolve him of any wrong doing. Mr. Scott, the court would like to apologize for any wrongdoing we may have caused you," Brockman said with a smile on his face.
"Apology accepted, your honor," Jason replied, closing his eyes and letting out a huge sigh of relief.
"And, as for you, counselor, I fully expect your so-called witness to show up in court within the next two weeks or else I won't hesitate to bootstrap a warrant on her ass for falsifying a police report and for wrongly filing charges against the defendant. Do I make myself clear?" he asked the prosecutor, who hung her head low in shame.
"Crystal clear, your honor," Gina said softly.
"Very well, then. Court is adjourned, The client is free to leave," Brockman declared as he banged the gavel and awaited for the next case to come in.
"Donovan, I don't know how to thank you for doing this," Jason said as he watched Donovan and Trini pack up their things and stuffed them in their respective briefcases.
"It's no problem, Jason. I saw right through Victoria's bullshit and I took care of the situation before it was too late. Speaking of Victoria, where she did she go?" Donovan asked as he looked around the courtroom to see if she was still there.
"She ended up leaving in the middle of the proceedings. I just wanna go home and forget about it," Jason said as they proceeded to head out of the courtroom.
"And, you will, honey. It's gonna take time, but everything's gonna be okay," Trini assured him with a pat on his shoulder.
As they were leaving the courthouse, however, Jason was taken aback by Trini being distant towards him. He watched her leave with Donovan while he stood on the steps of the courthouse, feeling as though he was alone in the world. Even though he was a free man, his emotions were still all over the place; and with the nightmare with Victoria still nowhere near over yet, the original red ranger was literally hanging by a thread.
As he was leaving, he failed to noticed a girl dressed in black lurking in the background with a smile on her face. Though she can't show her face just yet, she knew that she did the right thing in clearing his name.
Don't worry, Jason. Soon, Victoria will be out of our lives once and for all!

Scott Residence
Malibu, California
May 15th, 2003
Punching the bag as hard as he could and sweating profusely, Jason's nerves were definitely on edge as he vented out his frustration the best way he knows how: by working out in his private gym. Every hit to the punching bag was a silent testament to everything he has gone through over the last few weeks, few months, hell, even almost 18 months. The original red ranger was this close to losing everything he held most dear; especially his beloved girlfriend because of Victoria. He can't remember ever hating anyone as much as he hates her right now.
The fact that she would falsely accuse him of assaulting her and then sunk even lower by threatening him made his blood boil. And, even though, he got off scot free without going to trial, thanks to an anonymous source bringing damning evidence against Victoria, the damage was done. He's gonna be looked at and treated differently because of the false accusations probably for the rest of his life.
Now, he would never, ever, put his hands on a female, but, at this point, he was starting to wonder if he should reconsider changing that option. Victoria was doing an excellent job of messing with his mind and ruining his life that if he really could, he would wring her neck and make her disappear.
Oh, who was he kidding? Deep down in his soul, he wouldn't go there because she'll just find a new way of making his life a living hell. After punching the bag hard one more time, Jason collapsed on the bench and started breathing heavily; running his fingers through his short brown hair and closing his eyes. No, he can't bring himself to go down that route because that's exactly what she wants. No, he has to find another way to be done with her once and for all.
Draping a towel over his shoulders, he got up from the bench and proceeded to head inside his condo to get something to drink. He was about to head into the kitchen when someone knocked on his front door. Sighing deeply, he turned on his heel and cris-crossed his way through the living room and arrived at the front door. Peering through the peep whole to see who was standing outside, he breathed a sigh of relief when the person decided to show her face.
It was Trini.
Jason quickly opened the door and stood face to face with the woman he loves and almost lost because of a certain ex-girlfriend, a single tear streamed down his face as he held in his breath and waited for one of them to break the tension between them.
"How are you holding up, Rex?" she asked, breaking the silence between them.
He sighed deeply as he stepped aside and allowed her to come inside his home. "As well I can be, Tiger. It's been a rough few weeks, but I'm trying to hang in there."
"Same here. I'm hanging in there as well, but, this thing with Victoria has completely spiraled out of control. I never knew she could be this malicious," she replied as she sat down on the sofa.
"I knew. After all, I dealt with her for 2 years. I just can't believe she would stoop so low than to accuse me of beating her up. Thank God I was able to tape our phone conversation and thank God for the anonymous person who brought more proof that I wasn't anywhere near her that night. Otherwise, I'd be rotting in jail right about now," he said as he sat down next to her and put his face in his hands.
Trini's heart completely broke for him; seeing him so vulnerable and broken down after everything he's been through. "Babe, everything's gonna be okay. It's not gonna be easy, but, everything will die down eventually."
He shot his head up and looked at her, tears streaming down his face. "How, Tiger? Look at me. I'm not the man I used to be. Thanks to Victoria's false accusations, I'm being treated differently whenever I'm out in public. I have to go to work being subjected to gossip and whispers from my co-workers and I'm pretty much at wit's end. And, then, there's you."
"Me? What about me?" she asked, looking confused.
"I almost lost you because of this bullshit. Even though you stood behind me and was a major help in getting me off, I had a feeling you were pulling yourself away from me in court. I-I couldn't bear the thought of not having you in my life anymore," he said, his voice cracking with emotion.
She reached over and cupped his face in her hands, squeezing them softly. Though her own tears were streaming down her face, she was gonna be strong for the both of them.
"You listen to me and listen good, Jason Lee Scott. I LOVE YOU! I don't care what nobody says, you are it for me; always have and always will be. Nothing and/or no one will ever tear us apart; not even that deranged bitch Victoria will mess up the good thing we have. I'm sorry if you felt that I was pulling away from you, but, the truth is, this is hurting me as much as it's hurting you. You're not gonna get rid of me that easily, so you're just gonna have to get used to the fact that we're in this...together," she told him, determination laced in her voice.
"I love you, too, baby," he replied softly.
"Things may be bad now, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will get there. Promise me that you won't give up hope, okay?" she asked him before she leaned over and kissed his forehead gently.
"I promise, baby," he said with a tainted smile on his face.
"In the meantime, however, what were you doing?" she asked as they both agreed to change the subject.
"I was venting out my frustration by beating the shit out of the punching bag in my private gym. Why?" he asked, looking confused.
"Well, I think I have another way of you venting your frustration," she replied, narrowing her eyes at him seductively.
"Oh, is that right?" he asked, playing along.
"Yeah. Why don't I show you?" she asked as she leaned over and captured his lips with hers; kissing him soundly. Jason grinned against her mouth as Trini slithered her way on top of him; running her fingers through his short brown hair and gasping softly in his mouth when she felt his hands roaming her body. Another gasp escaped her lips when she felt his hand cupping her behind; squeezing her cheeks softly as her hips rocked in tandem with his. It was pretty clear that the temperature in the room was way passed its boiling point.
Needing more room, Jason ended up scooping her up in his arms and proceeded to carry her to the bedroom. Trini, who had her arms and legs wrapped around him, wrapped her lips around the column of his throat; sucking and biting down on his skin and smiling against his throat when he groaned softly. Her panties were pretty much soaked when he pressed his fully tented erection against the juncture of her thighs, causing her eyes to roll in the back of her head.
Once inside his bedroom, clothes were shed, bodies were slapped together and all you could hear was her never-ending cries of pleasure as he proceeded to kiss her from head to toe.
A loud hiss escaped her lips when he proceeded to lavish her breasts tenderly; sucking and blowing on her nipples gently as she withered underneath his hard body. He moved further down her body, kissing her stomach lightly and allowing his tongue to enter her belly button as he parted her legs further and inserted one finger inside of her swollen opening. Another loud hiss escaped her lips as he inserted another finger inside of her and felt her juices coating his fingertips. She arched her back; wanting and needing more contact from him and not with his fingers.
As if he was reading her mind, Jason starting kissing her slit; licking her folds and nuzzling his face between the soft flesh of her thighs. Trini arched her back off the bed and cried out in rapture as he kept devouring her with his soft and supple mouth. Breaking out into a huge sweat, she was slipping and falling into a pool of delicious ecstasy as she wrapped her legs around his head and grinded her core against his face; silently letting him know that she wants more.
And more she would get because he reached underneath her body and cupped her behind in his hands, then he lifted her up so he could have more access. She clutched the sheets on her bed so tightly, her knuckles turned white, however, she barely paid attention because spasms after spasms erupted into her body. She then speared her fingers through his short brown hair and gripped his scalp tightly as her climax draws near. It wasn't long before she began teetering towards the edge.
When he bit down on her clit harshly, she finally became unglued. Laying limp on the bed, she happily fell over the edge to eternal bliss as she rode out the pleasurable aftershocks of being taken through the wringer. Breathing heavily and coming down from her incredible high, Trini could only lay there and watch as Jason crawled his way on top of her; grinning foolishly. He leaned down and captured her lips with his, making her head swim once again. That boy sure knows how to drive her made with want and need.
A loud gasp escaped her lips when he felt his fully aroused member pressing against the outer juncture of her thighs. Aligning himself against her center, he gripped her hips firmly as he slid inside of her effortlessly, causing her gasp loudly in his mouth. Bracing himself on his elbows, he started moving; moving in and out of her with ease and groaning softly as she wrapped her legs over his back and lifted her hips up to meet his thrusts. Digging her fingers into his shoulders, she hissed loudly as the tip of his member glided over her G-spot over and over again. Sweat was pouring off his body as he kept hammering deep inside of her with gentle precision.
Trini was clearly in heaven. Even after all the bullshit they were going through concerning Victoria, she was still standing by her man. As Jason continued making love to he like a pro, tears started streaming down her face as she tightened her legs over his back and felt new sensations swirling in the pit of her stomach.
With all of strength, she rolled them over on the bed until she ended up on top of him. Bracing her hands on his chest, she began riding him; bouncing up and down on his shaft and crying out in rapture as he slapped her butt cheek lightly, causing her to squeal. She leaned down and captured her lips with his, kissing him passionately as she picked up the pace and started riding him faster. As their tongues were dueling for dominance, their hands were laced together as they moved together as one.
Before long, they were teetering on the edge of oblivion. Trying to prolong the inevitable, Jason turned her over on her stomach and re-entered her from behind. Trini hissed loudly as he proceeded to hammer deep inside of her harder and faster; grunting loudly in her ear and biting down on her earlobe gently. She reached behind her and gripped his scalp tightly as spasms after spasms started erupting into her body. With her eyes closed tightly, she was swimming in a pool of delicious ecstasy; with seemingly no plans of putting the brakes on it anytime soon.
However, all good things must come to an end. He reached in front of her and started fondling her clit gently, but firmly. She happily fell over the edge; convulsing into a million pieces as a strong climax washed over her body like a tidal wave. He soon followed by spilling himself deep inside of her and together, they collapsed on the bed into an entangled heap; wrapping their arms around each other and kissing passionately as if their lives depended on it. In their post-orgasmic haze, they laid together in a comfortable silence, pondering their next move on how to deal with the Victoria situation once and for all.
"Jason, what are you thinking about?" Trini asked, breaking the silence between them.
He sighed deeply and kissed the top of her head gently. "I don't know what's gonna happen next, but as long as I got you, I'm gonna be alright."
"Same here, baby. And, don't worry; everything else will work itself out in the long run. Just keep the faith and don't lose hope, okay?" she asked as she looked up at him with a small smile on her face.
He leaned down and kissed her gently, then he pulled back and looked deeply into her eyes.
"I won't. I love you, Trinity Jade Kwan."
"And I love you, Jason Lee Scott."

"I can't believe this is happening, Miguel! Jason was supposed to be in jail and I was supposed to bail him out and bring him back home to me! How could you let this happen, you dumb son of a bitch?!" Victoria shrieked, pulling the strands of her long dark hair right out of her scalp.
Miguel looked at her in disbelief. "Me?! You wanted him back so bad that you ended up dragging me along for the ride! It's not my fault Jason ended up having a damn good lawyer and was able to get the charges dropped before they could go to trial! And, don't forget, you have to appear in court within two weeks or else a warrant will be issued for your arrest!"
"No, I can't believe this is happening to me! Every chance I had in getting him back has repeatedly blown up in my face! I don't know what to do now!" she screamed, hot tears streaming down her face.
"Here's a thought: why don't you just give up and move the hell on? It's obvious that he doesn't want you anymore, especially considering your behavior as of late. And, I seriously think you should get some help, Victoria. Something's not right with you," he replied as he headed towards the door.
She shot her head up and glared at him. "You're not leaving me, are you?!"
"As a matter of fact, I am. The plan failed big time and I can't be seen with you anymore. I'm sorry, Victoria, but it's been nice knowing you," he said as he opened the door and proceeded to step out.
"No! No! You're not going anywhere, Miguel! You're not leaving me!" she screamed as she ran after him. However, by the time she got outside, her former accomplice was long gone, leaving her to sort out her own mess...as usual.
With more hot tears streaming down her face, she went back inside and slammed the door behind her. Sinking down on the floor, she was clearly losing it. Every single opportunity in getting her man back has repeatedly blown up in her face and now, she don't know what to do next. She thought about throwing in the towel and move on, just like Miguel suggested, however, her wounded pride wouldn't allow her to give in so easily. Deep inside her soul, she knew she couldn't give up just yet.
I will not be ignored, Jason! You will be mine again come hell or high water! If it means I have to kill you in order to get you back, then so be it! And, as for you, Miguel, karma will come knocking at your door soon enough! Nobody leaves Victoria Nicole Jones hanging and lives!
Running her fingers through her long dark hair, she slowly got up from the floor and proceeded to head towards her locked cabinet in the hallway. She unlocked it, then she reached inside and pulled out a .9 handgun; admiring it for a second before checking to make sure the safety's off and have enough bullets to start a drug war. The former redhead knew exactly what must be done.
Shed blood.
