Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day in Miami. The sun blazed down on Hannah Flora Nursery's.

"So Angel were you at Miami metro when the Wayne Randall spree happened?" Asked Dexter

"I was but only as a beat cop" Angel sighed "From what I gather Hannah seemed to be a young 15 year old girl picking the wrong guy to fall in love with"

Dexter vaguely remembered the story years ago, but had forgotten a lot of the details.

Angel and Dexter walked into the nursery. Angel began to blather on about quitting to police force and how Mike's murder had affected him.

Dexter was only vaguely listening he was still very much concerned with how Deb was taking his secret and how trapped he felt, being followed and kept in check by Deb at most times.

"Can I help you?" called a female voice

Dexter turned and saw who he presumed was Hannah Mckay, an attractive, slim, Caucasian woman who looked to be in her early thirty's.

"Miss Mckay?" questioned Batista

"That's right" Hannah replied

"Sargent Batista Miami metro homicide I'd like to talk to you about Wayne Randall"

"What a surprise" She eyed Dexter curiously but hostile "He's the detective what are you?"

"Uh, Lab geek"replied Dexter holding up his laminate ID.

"This just keeps getting better and better" sighed Hannah

"I'm sorry I'm a Sargent and this is Dexter Morgan, he's a forensic analyst"

"Fine well why don't you come inside" She said annoyed

Dexter and Angel followed Hannah into her greenhouse.

Dexter was interested in all of the plants and touched one of the leaves, Hannah warned him but it was too late, Dexter pulled his hand back as crimson blood oozed out of his finger tip.

He sucked the blood off his finger, while Hannah stared at him.

Batista began to ask her about her time with Wayne she seemed annoyed that all of this was happening and just wanted it to stay in the past.

She directed some of her anger at him but mellowed when Dexter dropped the swab. He couldn't explain it, he was on edge as is the usual when he goes a long time without a kill but this had the flavour of something different. There was something mysterious about Hannah Mckay.

The tension between them seemed to ratchet up when Batista returned to the car. Hannah actually smiled at him. Of course she was mocking him for dropping the swab. He came back to her with a fresh one and held her chin whilst getting the DNA Deb required. Their eyes met and she seemed apolagetic after her anger earlier.

Dexter left Hannah and returned to the main project of the day Ray Spelzer.

Ray Spelzer was in Jail for now and Deb was happy for the time being. Dexter at his work station looked over to the entrance and spotted Hannah. Her long blonde hair and slim, fit body caught the eye of most of the detectives still on this floor. Almost all of them were watching Deb's incredible interegation of Spelzer. The other's were off doing other cases while Deb continued to keep a watchful eye on Dexter.

Hannah who was talking so an older man in a suit whom Dexter presumed correctly to be her lawyer caught sight of him as she entered the Police Station.

They made small-talk before she got round to saying what she was here for.

Dexter told her what Wayne had said about her before he ran in front of that bus. He had liked Wayne, they had got along quite well for the couple of days he had known him.

Hannah seemed quite touched that Wayne's last words were about her. Dexter was very much interested in her feelings about Wayne. She knew that Wayne was a killer but still seemed fond of him and reminiscent about their road trip. A serial killing road trip. Sounds like fun.

Dexter asked the question which he wanted to know "Do you miss him?"

She told him about the sense of freedom and hope for the future which sent Dexter into deep thought for a minute. Dexter's only comparision was what he had felt for Lumen when they had become a couple and were killing together. He lied to Hannah and said he coudn't compare to what she had been feeling. However her blazing look seemed to know more than he told her.

She caught sight of her lawyer again and made her exit.

His next interaction showed him a side of Hannah which he had been unconsciously anticipating. Dexter, Hannah and Batista in the evidence room going over the story of Hannah and Wayne's road trip. Dexter had been concentrating on other things such as the mob boss that was after him, he had thought up a plan to get rid of Isaak for good but had yet to find time to do it in. However his impatience was misdirected. As he watched Hannah only just hold back tears as she relived the horrors of what Wayne had done, Dexter thought that this version of events seemed wildly inconsistent from the happy, freeing version which she had told him about the other day. His suspisions were confirmed when she looked nostalgic at the souvenirs from Wayne's victims.

Dexter tried pushing her for more information but she clammed up and stuck to her story. She asked if he would be there at the dig and Dexter finding the whole Wayne Randall murders more interesting now that he was faced with a woman that confused him promised he would.

Hannah had gone to the police station and got a ride to the dig site with one of the police officers who was more than happy to aid a beautiful woman. Here she sat in the rear seat fanning herself, Dexter was staring at a few drops of sweat that were trickling down her throat. Dexter stood there nothing to do while there wasn't a body. Dexter kept close watch on the stationary figure on the street outside of the dig site. Isaak.

Dexter was distracted by the arrival of Hannah who had chosen the oppertunity to get a drink when Batista was away. She actively saught to spend time with him. She told him about Wayne killing someone for the first time in front of her Dexter responded by telling his own tale about his first crime scene. Surprisingly this made her laugh and Dexter realised he was flirting with her. She flirted back making a reference to a date and sexual experience. He was still quite surprised about the sudden change in conversation. Thankfully before he had to deal with that the cadaver dogs found the bodies.

Dexter sprang into action using the evidence in front of him to piece together what had happened. Hannah was listening to him talk a little away from the group of police, detectives and forensics like himself. He saw the truth which made his monologue instantly die on his lips. He turned and stared at Hannah. She had done it, she had killed, the woman had been hers whilst Wayne had taken on the man. His first thought about it was how cheeky can you get, helping investigate a murder which you committed. It was either incredibly dangerous or ridiculously stupid.

He told Batista that the evidence was inconclusive and packed up his lab kit and walked to his car. Hannah soon followed.

She wanted to know what had made him stop, he was in full forensic mode but then he stopped.

So he told her, exactly what she had done, he knew it was true, her disbelieving face was slowly replaced with a look of calm then a cheeky smile emerged.

It was then Dexter realised her Immunity. She gave him a sultry look as she walked off evidently pleased to be one up on Dexter.

He watched he leave, a shocked expression on his face, She hadn't denied anything as he had expected her too. She hadn't told him she had done it but her surprised face when he had told her exactly how it had happened was proof enough for him that she killed that woman.

Game on.
