SYLVIE

S ylvie was on the stand again. This time trying to recount what happened when Taylor had beat her.

“I had a migraine. I had gone into the bathroom to throw up. I was at the sink washing up and caught motion from the side.” her hand movement showed the movement was from the right. “Something crashed down on side of my face, threw me to the left.” Sylvie motioned toward the scar on the right side of her face. “If my vision and recall wasn’t bad enough with just the migraine, it got worse. When I hit the wall Taylor punched me, knocking me to the ground. I got kicked multiple times, ribs and stomach. As I curled up, I’m sure they glanced off my face or jaw, I don’t remember. I woke up being moved. I remember the halogen lights and trying to understand what was happening around me.”

“Anything else?”

“Doc took good care of me and got me off the ship pretty quick. I don’t remember seeing Taylor again.”
