Chapter 1

We Said hello to the bright moon. It must have missed me and the Dark Passenger since we didn't got in any action for some time. Yet here we are again on another holy mission against the monsters of Miami. This time we will get to meet Mr. Andrews a drug dealer. Apart from selling drugs the man had a naughty little secret so innocent like a bloodied rose. After all he dIdn't deserve to die because he sells death to others who accept it knowing the consequences .The Man was responsible for the death of more than fifteen boys and not because he sells dangerous drugs. The bastard was gay and so ugly that he couldn't have sex with anyone so he fucked little boys and then killed them in order to hide the damn truth. Yet Dark Passenger knew the truth and he would show me the truth as well ,I gave him full control of me for the night. He would take me to places wonderful where he could act. We Followed the trail left for us by the holy moon and soon we arrived at his workplace ,a not so well street. I'll make him pay. After scrutinizing the area for a while I saw the red car. I got out of my car and crouched so as to not get noticed towards the car and got there like a shadow. I saw that the man stood still but I didn't care. The Passenger told me to be cautious but I didn't listen to him. I broke the window with my knife just to wake the bastard up since he wasn't available for a nice and gentle conversation. He didn't awake and I caught his neck and was ready to hit his face in the door when I saw that accursed thing. Blood on my gloves. Yickes that red dirty thing on my gloves. This had never happened to me. Since I had no other purpose here I went back to my car and drove home. After I arrived back home and, I couldn't get to sleep. There was this one thing that was annoying me. Who was the killer of that monster. Possibly one of the junkies that he sold death to them on a daily basis. With that in mind I finally managed to fall asleep wishing that even if I hadn't killed the man, his death would calm Dark Passenger. But I knew that he was not at all satisfied and that sooner or later he will crave to get his hands on a new monster. I woke up in the morning and took a cleansing cold shower . I heard my mobile ringing and Instantly I knew that It was Deb calling so early.

-"Dexter we have a body. Come here as fucking soon as possible"

-"Hello to you little Sister!"

-"Fuck off Dexter, leave the crap and come soon to A23 Avenue Street. It's disgusting"

-"See you there ,bye for now"

I Closed the phone .I Knew the street and not because I was some kind of Human GPS. It was where I found the man yesterday .But why did Deb tell me that it was disgusting. It would be ok if she were someone else but we're talking about Deborah ,a woman whose all life revolves about dead bodies in worse condition that an old man who just got his throat slashed .I thought that she should stop watching romantic films ,a thought which may get me killed if she finds out so I got rid of it as soon as I could .I arrived at the crime scene and saw the familiar yellow tape blocking the road to non-cops .I saw Debra talking with another cop and decided not to interrupt her until she finished talking to him. Vince approached me and asked me what was I was doing in the scene .I told him that Debra asked me to come here. Then he leaved with a weird expression on his face. Debra finally ended that conversation and so I got a chance to speak to her.

-"Deb, I need your hunches .I got nothing and need your opinion on this one"

-"Fine let me examine the body and the blood first"

-"Here's the thing. Most of the blood that was spilled when the body was killed was put in phials inside the man's body."

-"They do get quite creative some times. I will talk to you as soon as I finish the examination"

That certainly was confusing. Last time I saw the body i saw blood and the man was not mutilated so as to get phials inside his body. What the heck I thought as I approached the car. Sure a lot have changed since my last visit here. First of all there was no head. His hands were cut and the killer had put them inside the belly each one holding some phials of blood .I didn't count the phials because even the thought of counting blood made me sick. In the man's chest the killer with his knife had scarred a symbol and as far as I could tell out it was a J. So apparently the killer decided that it would be nice to kill and later destroy his body in many ways. No doubt the killer was no junkie. He would never return to do such a thing, the initial death would please him. So I was faced with yet another monster like the many I have faced throughout the years. But Dark Passenger felt different about this one. He was indifferent to this discovery which is quite unlike him. Deb talked to me once again

-"So Found anything?"

-"He must have had a shitty head and so the killer decided that he was better off without!"

"You sure are a funny guy Dex. Let's get serious any clue?"

-"Sorry Deb, but I didn't discover anything worthy."This has something to do with the fact that Dark Passenger didn't care. He always helped me find something all out of the blue. Something to catch the bad guy and become the hero of the day. But I knew that even if i had a clue I would keep it to myself. All in all ,he and I shared a common bond and belonged in a mystic circle of two. No need for a third one to enter unless of course he came with a desire to kill, but since my sister doesn't live that kind of life ,I am afraid that she doesn't belong there.

After work I went to Rita's to see her and the kids and maintain my cover. She greeted me and seemed happy to see me. Even the kids who were so busy watching another episode of a cartoon came and hugged me with their tiny little hands. This exhibit of gratitude compelled me to fake a perfect smile .I spent much of the day playing hide and seek with Astor and Cody. Rita was pleased to see us enjoy quality time together. She was after all my girlfriend and while I didn't feel anything for her ,I believe that it's good for her to see me playing with her sweet children. It was necessary of me to act so because I wanted to save those children from getting scarred by the actions of their father who beat them and Rita every day until one day Astor called for help. We ate pizza together and I put them to sleep. Rita and I sat on the couch and watched TV.A romantic comedy means nothing to me and I "hated" Rita for punishing me in such a horrible way, but as every family man would say " Everything for the family" .After the movie ended I kissed her in the mouth so that she would feel secure that she had someone looking for them and I left the house in hope that I did everything a normal person does. Since I could never find out that I decided to open the laptop. And along with the laptop also opened a gate to my true self. The man inside the mask. A monster. But I have learned to live with it so I focused on the need. The need was still here, calling for attention, calling to get dirty with the blood of someone. And so I decided that I should trust the need and find someone to take the place of Mr. Andrews .I searched the police files for unsolved crimes and after hours spent watching gruesome pictures I finally found him.
