[Steve gets where Clayton was coming from, and he doesn't exactly enjoy dragging what is certainly a painful episode for Angel and Rhys out into the public eye, but he honestly does feel it needs to be done, for the safety of everyone—and, yes, to give Jack the fairest treatment he can get, lacking a judge and an attorney and a trial by his peers. So he does his best to find a compromise. He gives them a night, and a day, and another night, and then early on the morning of the Town Hall Meeting, he makes a post. (Text, because the athletic shed is not very private and deep down he's a sneaky bastard.)]This is Captain Rogers. This is a bit of a sensitive subject, but I think a more detailed report of what happened to Angel and Rhys is required.
"Handsome" Jack was holding Angel and Rhys captive against their will in a basement. When Clayton came looking for them, Jack put him in the basement, too. Rhys is in pretty bad shape, the kind where by any rights he'd be in a hospital, although I believe most of the damage is self-inflicted, a result of the psychological effects of being in one place too long. Clayton's not in great shape, either; his broken arm, at least, is a result of his altercation with Jack.
We're doing our best to get Rhys to the hot shower house where he can recuperate. Jack is in our custody, which brings me to the reason I'm sharing this information.
Jack is guilty of kidnapping, assault, and criminal negligence. He could potentially be a danger to others in the future. Unfortunately, we don't have any form of government here, much less a criminal justice system. There's no one of us qualified to decide what happens to him. I suggest that, since this affects all of us, we all decide what happens, democratically.
I will be at Shepard's meeting today. I'm bringing Jack with me; he will, of course, have the opportunity to speak in his own defense, if he wishes. I propose that we discuss as a group how to handle this situation, that anyone who wishes to suggests a possible course of action, and that we then vote to decide which course of action to take.
I'll answer questions if I can. Please think this matter over carefully. I'll be at the meeting in a few hours.
