π§ Blame It On The Pain SEVENTY FOUR:
(Alyssa)
I learned the world was unfair at an early age. I knew that the bad guys sometimes won and that the good usually paid the price for their sins.
What I donβt understand, is why I was forced to learn the harsh lesson twice in my life and why it had to involve the two men I loved the most.
Fordβs living his life free as can be while Jacksonβs sitting in a jail cell.
For mur dering Lillyβs ki ller.
Ford attempted to get him for the mur der of DeLuca but Ricardo and I vehemently fought those accusations without incriminating Lou-Lou.
Besides, itβs not like anyone would be able to find her even if we did give her up. She skipped town right after ki lling DeLuca and no oneβs heard from her since. Not even Ricardo.
I have no idea what the story is between the three of them, but something tells me that Lou-Lou needed to ki ll DeLuca way more than I ever didβ¦and thatβs saying something.
As luck would have it, the secret wire Ford was wearing in the warehouse didnβt support his claims that Jackson ki lled DeLuca, either.
Ford couldnβt pin that on him no matter how hard he tried.
Unfortunately, the tape didnβt get any incriminating evidence on Ford himself, the tape just magically happened to βpick upβ right when Jackson walked in and admitted to being a ki ller. Then it cut off.
And since Ford played both sides of the fence, he claims that he was working undercover at the warehouse. And since he did call for backup heβs not being investigated.
But little did Ford knowβ¦I have my own brand of justice that I want to personally serve him.
After tracking down and talking to a few of my dadβs old friends who are still members of the FBI, it was finally going to happen.
Jackson was rightβ¦Iβm not a ki ller. My soul isnβt tarnished, but my childhood was.
BLAME IT ON THE PAIN : EPISODE 71 β THE END
I make sure that I have everything in place before I walk into Fordβs office. Iβm surprisingly feeling calm. The look on his face tells me that he most definitely wasnβt expecting me, but heβs pleased nonetheless.
βAlyssa,β he says.
He stands up from his desk and itβs so reminiscent of that day, nausea overwhelms me.
I fi ght through it, though and take a deep breath.
He walks around his desk and smiles at me. βI knew you would come to your senses. I knew you would realize that I was only protecting you and I knew you would forgive me sooner or later. I love you, Alyssa. Everything I did was for you.β
I just stare at him, dumbfounded. Itβs never occurred to me before that Ford might be downright delusional.
Or maybe, heβs lied so much that he just canβt tell the truth from all of the different worlds heβs created.
When I donβt say anything, he takes a step closer to me.
I stand there silently urging him to dig his own hole. βI couldnβt let you be with Jackson, sweetheart. I had to make him go away. You belong to me, you always have.β
He reaches for my hand. βI divorced Penelope for you a few months ago. I wanted to take you on vacation after I got rid of DeLuca and surprise you. We can get married now just like you always wanted. Iβm choosing you this time.β
I try my hardest not to grin. This is turning out even better than expected.
βYou were really going to get rid of him for me?β
He ksses my wrist. βIβd do anything for you.β
I reach up and touch his cheek. βI have a question.β
βYes?β
βAt what age did I first belong to you, Ford?β
He blinks and makes a face. βCome on, Alyssa. Donβt be stupid. You remember that night in my car by the docks. You promised to be mine forever.β
I lean into him and nuzzle his neck, my nausea getting worse the closer I get to him. βI know it was around my birthday, but Iβm having trouble with my exact age. I was hoping you could refresh my memory.β
The look on his face is priceless as he pushes me away. βNice try, sweetheart. Are you really that dumb that you donβt know the law?β
He walks back to his desk. βBit of advice, never try to school a federal agent on the law.β He crosses his arms over his chest and gives me that movie star smile that makes me want to hurl. βThe age of consent in New York is 17.β
He sits down and props his elbows on the desk. βAnd I hate to break it to you, but even if that night was illegal; New Yorkβs statute of limitations is only 5 years from the time you turn 18. Youβre 24, Alyssa. Your time has run out.β
He props his feet up on his desk. βIn other words, youβre sΒ’rewed. Besides, we never had intercourse when you were 17, anyway. You were 21 the first and only time I fked you.β
I donβt know which is worse, how much thought heβs obviously put into this, or the smug smirk plastered on his face.
A smirk that I canβt wait to wipe off.
I take a step forward and smile sweetly at him. βHmm. You know what? Youβre right. Iβm sorry, Ford.β
He opens his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. βIβm sorry the night you put your hand down my pa nties and touched me in your car, that I was only 17.β I put my finger to my lips. βOr maybe even 16 depending on the exact time.β
I take another step forward. βOn second thought, No. Iβm not sorry. Because I was too young to be making the adult decision to let you touch me like that. And we both know, that as the only adult in the car; you should have known better than to touch me like that.β
He stabs his finger in the air. βSave your breath because it doesnβt matter. Youβve got nothing on me.β
He sits up in his chair and snickers. βIt doesnβt matter that I was the first man to see and stick my fingers in that innocent, hole, before you became a whβre. It doesnβt matter, Alyssaβ¦because youβre too late.β
I sharpen my eyes in his direction and reach for the goblin on my necklace. βDoes it matter that it was in Jersey, Ford?β
I can see the wheels spinning in his head and I continue, βBecause those docks were technically in Jersey territory.β
I open my arms wide. βAnd you know the great thing about Jersey?β
When he doesnβt answer I proclaim, βThere is no statute of limitations for sxual assault. And there is no deadline for filing sxual assault charges.β
His jaw practically hits the floor. βAnd just so weβre clear here, Special Agent. You did just fully admit to sxually assaulting me and penetrating me with your fingers when I was a teenager. And given your position of power and authority as an officer and the fact that you had a gvn on youβ¦do you know what that means?β
He slams the desk with his hand. βKnock this sht off, Alyssa. You wanted it. You dressed like a little whβre and you begged for me that night. It was all you.β
I ignore him. βIt means that itβs technically aggravated sxual as sault. And do you know what thatβs punishable by?β
I look up to the heavens and smile. βUp to 20 years in prison.β
I start unbuttoning my shirt. βAnd thereβs plenty of proof, including phone records. And letβs not forget that you gave me a car when I was 17. In addition to your ex-wife whoβs willing to testify.β
I undo the first 3 buttons and I open my shirt. βAnd thereβs the fact that Iβm wearing a wire and just caught every disgusting thing you said.β
He charges after me, but the door opens and in walk a few men in uniform. I wave to my dadβs former friend who now lives in Jersey and is an officer there.
βFord Baker you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silentβ¦β the officerβs start to say as they handcuff him.
I walk over to him and put my hands on his cheeks.
βHow could you do this to me?β he whispers.
I look at him hard and say, βYou only did it to yourself, Ford.β
βBut why?β
My grip tightens around his cheeks. βBecause sometimes in life, sweetheart. The good guys win.β
I let go of him but he leans his forehead against mine. βDo you know what they do to cops in jail, Alyssa?β
I grab his face again and stare into his eyes. βIβm not sure. I imagine it will be harsh, though. Given they donβt take kindly to cops who commit sxual as sault on children.β I wrap one hand around the back of his neck. βAnd with that handsome face of yoursβ¦youβre probably going to be passed around like a little whβre.β I lower my voice and whisper in his ear, βBut if I were you, Iβd be even more worriedβ¦because I hear that youβre going to be sharing a cell with Jackson.β
When I back away his face pales and he starts trembling.
I kss the goblin and look at him one last time. βI think my father would be really proud of me right now.β
And then I slam the door.
