Chapter 83 

Dexter sticking up for Melody like thatI let out a chuckle laced with sarcasm. Getting Dexter to give up on Melody? As if that was ever going to happen

Dexter’s been knocking on Hank’s door, but word has it Hank’s gone into hiding, scared out of his wits. I reckon Dexter doesn’t completely disregard our video evidence; he just went to check. on Hank afterward and came up emptyhanded,Stella said with a grave tone. I know where Hank’s holed up. I need you to send Dexter the location. He’s blocked me and doesn’t trust me anymore.” 

I couldn’t help but be surprised

Dexter was on the move already

Was he starting to doubt Melody

Well well, well… 

I’ll get in touch with him.I remembered Dexter had given me his business card. Though I’d tossed it, his cell number was still etched in my mind

Meet me at the corner of SeaWall Boulevard and Horizons Avenue.” 

Stella hung up abruptly, clearly in a rush

Scanning the news on my phone, I wasn’t surprised to see the serial killer had struck again, the story blazing across the trending charts

Who’s trying to kill me

Colin was a man of secrets, undeniably linked to the murderer in some way

I couldn’t bring myself to believe in his innocence

Rubbing at my temples, I got up and walked out. Eric, take care of Caleb for me, will you? I’m going out to pick up some essentials, and I don’t need anyone tagging along.” 

Eric hesitated but eventually nodded as if a thought had struck him. Of course, ma’am. Just give us a call should you need anything.”

I nodded and had the driver take me to the place where I’d arranged to meet up with Stella

Dexter?I dialed Dexter’s number as we drove

Who’s this?Dexter’s voice was cold, guarded

Heard you’ve been looking for Hank?I kept my voice low

Who are you.He sounded annoyed. I could tell he was on the verge of anger. I knew him too 

well

SeaWall Boulevard, Azure Residence. He’s there. You know where to find him now, don’t you?I kept prodding him

Tell me who you are.His insistence on my identity grew
