Avengers Chapter 6, a dexter fanfic

Chapter 6

Noise,all predators hate noise. From the smallest predator to the fiercest the feeling is mutual. What it only does is to destroy the hunting. All those very careful movements and tricks to are destructed by a moment of carelessness. For predators like me silence is all they could ask. Acting slowly but yet so effectively that even after you hit them they never know where it came from. Noise I hate noise,especially the noise done by agent Thomson as he spoke. He was a very smart man who spoke only when necessary. He never joke about anything,he was just sitting in that chair being dead serious and asking questions about a freaking monster. Typical F.B.I business I assumed noticing how normal it all seemed to him.

-"Hello to you too, Agent Thomson if I am not mistaken" I told him

-"That's my name yes .Do you know why are you here ?"

-"I do. I am here to be asked question about J Killer"

-"OK . Let's begin with the questions. Are you him ?"

-"Nope"

-"Why should I believe you ?"

-"Because I am not him."

-"That is for me to decide. Do you approve of what he does ?"

-"There are people that don't deserve to live. Frankly on some part I agree on what he used to do. However the moment he started killing innocent people was the moment I lost any positive thing I had towards him. He's just a monster"

-"Do you have any proof that you are not him ?"

-"When he called at the station to speak about a big bang I was at my girlfriend's can call her and she will confirm me being there and playing with her children."

-"Strong alibi indeed but you sure could have used the bath for a second and call the station"

-"I could but if I was the killer why risk doing it from Rita's House where one of the children may pass close to the door and hear what I was saying. If I were the killer I don't believe I would risk this for a phone call I could make anytime"

-"Perhaps you never thought of that back then"

-"So you say that after a series of killings without leaving any evidence behind ,i would risk doing that" as I said that I realized something that could narrow my search a bit. I should search for police men who are doing quite well in their job,have received honors ,medals and such.

-"I am no psychologist to answer that .One last question. When will he stop killing people ?"

-"Perhaps when he kills every criminal or simply when he dies. What he doesn't understand however is how faulted his plan is. When he dies or simply retires ,there will be no one to stop crimes so the so called perfect Miami he's dreaming of is only going to exist until he gets quite old and as far I as could tell the guy must be close to your age ,agent Thomson or my age."

-"OK Thank you for your time. It has been a very interesting discussion mr Morgan. I hope we have a chance to talk again"

That's it,it was over .One of the most difficult situations in my life had passed and most importantly it wasn't bad for me. Thomson did asked some very nasty questions but I pretty much answered them in a satisfying way .I believe that no suspicions would be raised about me. After all how many guys would have the guts to say that they had no problems with some of his work. I left the police station with a smile and called Debra to see how she did with her interview. She told me that she did just fine and there it was. The Morgan Family is one of smooth talkers.

I went to my house and using my computer searched some files. Using my new clues I managed to narrow the files that I would search. I searched files for two hours and had already found some people who fit all the criteria to being the J Killer. These people were all written in a text file in the PC protected by an key "The Dark Passenger" all waiting for me to search them deeper and deeper until I found who of these was the one and play a little game with him. That thought made me smile and searched some more files. This time I wasn't that lucky but I did wrote two names of the list. I opened the TV and watched the news. I had reasons to believe that his so called big bang would happen not so soon because the killer would be afraid of the F.B.I but It wasn't that bad to have an idea of what's happening. Watching the news can be very depressing. I learned of a poor young man who committed suicide when the bank took his home,a pregnant woman getting killed by her lover,two homeless children beaten to death when they tried to steal something to eat. It's a miracle that there aren't many people in the city behaving like me or the J Killer with all that violence they watch on TV.I was staring at the television for nearly an hour but I hadn't heard any good news. Only news about death,starvation,hopelessness. Death sells and television stations knew that and everyday they made millions out of corpses and illnesses. They were the real bastards behind everything .After the news ended I closed the television. I had seen the news and there had been no video or phone call by him. Some time later I looked at my watch and noticed that it was about time I got dressed about our date with Rita. As she was ill for the week and I had been the good Samaritan ,looking after her and the children she decided to please me by telling me to go on a date together. Dexter the lady's man of course couldn't make her sad and accepted her offer on an instant. Besides that dinner would also server a higher goal. Finding my sister a boyfriend. She had spent quite some time without and she was a real human so she had to find one soon. And who's better at finding boyfriends than dexter the match maker .Well at this case it was mostly Rita who told me about how James would be perfect for Deb but I would like to think that the credits would go for me for actually meeting the guy to her. She liked him at first glance so she agreed to go on a date with him. He was a tall guy with black hair and a very athletic body. He had been working at a gym as a trainer so she shared common interests with Debra as she liked to work out as well. Maybe all that running and push ups would bring them closer. It had to. Deb was beautiful ,he would be considered beautiful by women so there it is .Perfect match for her.

Yet the date couldn't get any worse that how it got.

Even after half hour of talking in the car,me and Rita realized that it was never going to work. Still I like to think that we hoped that it would magically work somehow and I continued driving to the restaurant. They were mostly talking about gyms and exercises but they both seemed to disagree about the exercises each one did. James thought that she wasn't exercising hard enough and that she should start exercising more if she wants to get a better body. Hearing that Deb told him that his body wasn't the epitome of perfection either and mocked him for being a gym trainer with such a body. James didn't speak for a while and it was Dexter's time to put things right on track. That magnificent guy told them both that he prayed everyday to God to give him one of those bodies because they were both awesome. I have to say that this Dexter guy is very good at dealing with people and they put their arguments aside and started talking about other subjects. Rita smiled and kissed me in the cheek. I blushed and told her that how perfect that kiss seemed,in an effort to both make Rita happy and show to those two that they should not argue. It had some results for about ten minutes when the next argument started .I started feeling quite angry and I even heard the Dark Passenger telling me to kill those two and for once I kind of agreed with him. However instead of making them fish food I unleashed all that accumulated rage on the horn of the car trying to make the guy in front of me understand that he ain't no turtle. Instead of accelerating the driver called me "A motherfucking idiot and a bastard" and started laughing. Debra called him the same and I accelerated and passed the guy and took a glimpse of his face. He was familiar and after some minutes of digging into Dexter's deepest secrets I remembered who that guy was. It was Rico Maritz , a guy that the Dark Passenger had wanted to get its hands on for quite some time. However there were other guys in the line waited for him ,so he kinda stalled the thing. After I thought of nice things that I would do to him while he was on the bed ,i was no longer feeling any anger and neither did that James and Deb argument annoy me any more. I was happy slicing Rico's ear and cutting his fingers. If only I could do it in real life as well and not just in my imagination how happy and proud would I made the Dark Passenger. Dark Passenger was however not so proud because he didn't like fantasy much .Nevertheless after thirty minutes we were at the restaurant so close to friends and so far away from Rico Maritz. Oh well after what happened at the restaurant I doubt they will ever let anyone whose surname is Morgan book a table. And it's a shame since it started very nice with me and Rita telling to others about how passionately we were at love and how I risked my life in order to save her from the thieves . She then kept on talking about me living with her for the past few days as she was ill .That speech had an effect on them as they looked at each other with confidence that they could manage to pull a relationship like mine and Rita's ,a thing which I personally would hope that would never happen because faking feelings for the most part is not something nice .Sure if you have no other alternative it is a viable option but James seemed human enough to have feelings. James was also human enough to lay eyes upon a young blond girl sitting on the table opposite to ours. That little flirt continued and after ten minutes they both went to the bathroom. Me and Rita tried to behave as if nothing happened but I could see the anger in Deb's eyes. She had every right to be angry so I didn't expect her to behave otherwise. What I didn't believe she would do was to go to the bathroom and start bashing the doors searching from James. I ran behind her trying to stop her but in vain as when I entered the bathroom I saw two doors already opened and Debra kicking the third. After the door opened she finally found James making out with that blond chick. Her reaction was to punch him in the dick and leave him there. She then left the toilet and went back to our table to finish her meal .I did so as well .A minute later and James appeared in the table and Debra looked at him. He told her that he and she were no match for each other. Debra answered to him that she knew that but at least she didn't want to spoil the night for me and Rita so she behaved like a lady instead to him who acted like a dickhead. She also threw a plate at him but he avoided it. Debra was still angry and she threw my plate at him. I looked at the food I never had a chance to finish being thrown towards his face. I looked at Debra and I knew that her anger was not over yet. Apart from that I was also hungry and not willing enough to buy a second meal so I held the salad ball. Deb then took Rita's plate and threw it down .I gave Rita to eat some salad but she was shocked and didn't eat any. At least I ate some ,until the manager of the restaurant came and asked for explanations. I told him how sorry we felt and that it was not our intentions to create such a mess but he wasn't any moved by my speech. He demanded that we payed him for the dishes that my sister had broken and get the hell out of his store. James left our company and Deb decided to go home as well. It was me and Rita and for once on this crazy night I could get some rest. Both of us were hungry and as we didn't want to visit yet another restaurant we bought two hot dogs and I drove to the park where we sat on a bench and talked about things in general. It was quite cold but cold was better when compared to my sister telling me about how much of a bastard was that James. Rita felt cold and hugged me so as to get warm .I hugged her as well as in my life I mostly behaved like a mirror and of course I was freezing out there just as well. And upon that no so cozy bench we remained for two or so hours before we decided to go back home. Rita was tired not to mention still kind of shocked by the way the date she had helped to organize .I told her it's not her fault that these two were not a good match.

I drove Rita to her house and then I went to mine because I had stuff to do .I spent most of the night searching the police files finding about secret lives of so many cops whose name shall forever stay with me .I learned of dark tales,dark secrets meant to remain unknown but all in all not many people in the police could be him. It was all a bit too unclear until I found this guy.

Poor Jeremy Jamins had lost both his wife and his daughter little time before the killings started. It was an organized attack aiming to kill them and the killer wasn't found. Jeremy had then started looking desperately for him in the underworld something that nearly cost his job as his superiors learned of his search and wanted to punish him by taking his badge but on the very last moment they decided to let him rest and reflect on his wife and daughter's murder and return when he feels like he's ready. Jeremy also had been abused by his foster father as a child and had also developed an alcohol habit during his early years as a police officer but now he was over it. I didn't know whether or not Jeremy was indeed the killer but everything pointed towards him. Without any doubt he was the one on my list I had to keep a closer eye upon. If he was the killer he had to be put down sure lest the big bang he was talking about would happen and it was possible that many innocent people will die.

The new clues I discovered impressed Dark Passenger who in his cold voice told me many things .I tried to resist him at first but his soft cool voice finally made it to the top of my head and made me listen to him carefully. Dark Passenger talked to me about Rico Maritz . He told me about how he had killed his family when they discovered that their father/husband was nothing more than a mere drug dealer. He told me of the innocent people that he killed in order to make other people to fear him. He told me of the drugs. He had told me everything I needed to hear in order to make him my priority for the moon to come. He was truly an abomination,a monster with human flesh,cursed to feed like a parasite on the lives of innocent people who had done nothing to him. He was everything the Dark Passenger disapproved of and I wanted to make him pay for his sins. Death was the only thing that suited a man like him.

A day later it was finally the time. Not enough time had passed since I decided to kill him but still I had anything I needed(especially enough energy from the Dark Passenger).I tailed him with my car and when we were both on a dark alley I dragged him and carried him on my car. Then I drove to a nice and abandoned place and then I placed him on the table in order to get the ritual started. When he woke up he saw the face of his daughter looking back at him with her blue eyes. When he looked the other way he saw his wife seeing him with her black eyes. Then he looked back at him but instantly looked the other way as my dark eyes of emptiness scared him in any way possible. It was easier for him to see the innocent young girl he had killed that to face me. I looked at his fingers. His wedding ring remained in his finger and seeing this made me get a little angry. How could a man who didn't hesitate to kill his wife in a very brutal way could still keep his ring on. He was nothing more than a freak. I took the ring and placed it on a desk far away from him and and as he saw that he shouted -"please no,my wedding ring"

-"Did you think of your wedding ring when you looked at your bloodstained knife. Did you ?"

-"I didn't kill my wife."

-"And then who did ?" I asked him

-"He"

His answer troubled me. Did he like me have a Dark Passenger who told him of cruel things. Did sometimes his Dark Passenger take control of him and started to kill people. Was the death of his wife and daughter nothing more but his Dark Passenger playing by the knife. I didn't know so I asked. And what I learned made things complicated.

-"Who's he ?"

-"Malcom Serlon, a local drug dealer and one of the most powerful around here. Three years ago when I become quite known as a drug dealer he feared that I may become a powerful one and thus he killed my wife and my daughter in order to scare me and stop me from dealing with drugs.. It is why I have stopped dealing with such things after that .I feared for my life and I was filled with guilt as my precious daughter and my wife had died because of me"

-"You do have committed several other crimes. So why should I spare your life ?"

-"Don't,just kill him please"

Hearing this made killing Malcom Serlon my next kill. Who knows how many such crimes may have he committed. I have to stop him. With all of these in my mind I grabbed a sharp knife and stabbed Rico in the heart .Blood painted everything red and I felt delight but not enough to make me feel satisfied with that kill. I had done incomplete business. Therefore in order for this kill to be completed I need to make Malcom to disappear for ever and sent him to the fish along with other monsters like him that I had so neatly got rid of. Two days later I finally found him.

When he woke up he saw that he couldn't meet .Then after looking at the pictures placed on a board he looked at me. He looked at me but didn't say a thing. I just saw him trying to free himself from the bed but seeing that he couldn't do it I offered to help him by cutting all the arms and legs that kept him from escaping the room. He called me a bastard but I didn't care as the only sound I was listening was sweet melodies played by the Dark Passenger as he told me deadly things. I had the knife in my hand and I cut one of his fingers. He screamed but his scream was not enough to make me stop doing naughty things to him. What I cut next was a finger from his foot. He screamed yet again and after that little chopping I did with him he became much more talkative. He had seen how serious I was and he wanted to live so he offered all kinds of things. From money to the best hookers but Dark Passenger doesn't need such things. He needs blood flowing from corpses and he needed that much since our last killing together had forced us to do one so fast but it was worth it. Digging Malcom's profile I found out that the man had done so many crimes that he needed to die soon .I rejected them all and he started crying. He had just came to acknowledge that there was no escape from that room so I allowed him to cry some last tears until I was bored enough and wanted to play more with him. He was a fat man so in order for him to get fit he had to lose some weight. And I helped him with that. After cutting two fingers ,i cut one of his feet and when I decided that he had enough I took the knife and I inserted it inside his heart. Serlom was gone and I had saved many children from becoming junkies with only one purpose within their mind,committing a slow death. Dark Passenger was now feeling that the killing of Maritz was complete now. Both Serlom and Maritz were abominations and since killing the one had lead to the another I had to do the sensible thing and kill the other one just as well. In that case however I should have first killed Serlom in order to satisfy Maritz and do some thing called poetic justice but screw poetry. I needed a kill and it had to be that day since that was the day I allowed the Dark Passenger to take control.

The days I was dealing with the Maritz case no progress had been made which mostly meant that no bodies had been found(but let's face it it wouldn't be that bad if it meant that I could get a new clue about J Killer in order to check if Jeremy was indeed him) still I we were already warned of a big bang which I presume would happen anytime soon .I didn't know much about that big bang but I believed that it was about an explosion. An explosion so fierce some that would set new standards. To achieve his goal he may even have to kill civilians who had nothing to him .All for a better future I suppose he'd say if I asked him that question.

I opened the TV box like I did every day in order to watch the news so as to find whether or not there was an update on my favorite serial killer those days. Ten minutes before the news ended I finally learned news of him. He appeared on the screen wearing a mask and started talking:

"My name is J Killer and most of you hate me .Of course you never had the chance to meet and get to know me as just like everything else those fucking TV stations filled you with nothing but lies. So now you may even press the button and switch to another station but know this. You have failed and this city will suffer for that. Instead of following my divine plan you chose at first to do something about all that accursed corruption in this city but then later you believed the lies told by useless idiots who have done nothing good to the city but eat a bunch of hot dogs on the way to work every fucking day for so many fucking years that I can't even count on. And do you all know why I know all of these. Why have I become so negatively biased against the police ?Of course you don't. Here's why,because I am a fucking cop who happened to try and give a damn about his job. But hell life had other plans for me. My beloved daughter and wife were killed and instead of mourning like a good husband I searched for clues only to find that no one in the police would help me. Thus I have taken the avenger path. The man who works silently in the darkness trying to create justice out of nothing at all costs. I no longer have a name because I will be forever be known as the J Killer and that is something bad. Instead it is something wonderful to be remembered as someone who gave a damn about anything. Anyway I am so disappointed by you people for not supporting our plan. The plan about a perfect Miami where crime is but a nightmare and happiness and good prevail. I took the burden of performing the kills only asking for support by you people but instead you gave me nothing. I guess you don't want a perfect Miami. You want your children trying and find the road to their home by stepping upon corpses of innocent people to have fallen victims of robbery. If that's your ideal Miami then fear no more. It's bound to happen and not so long from now so that you can see your children suffering as you will suffer when you remember of me and think of the wise things I said and how you turned your back on me when the only sensible thing to do was to embrace my act and support me against police. Even if I sound a bit offensive I am not. I understand it was difficult for many to make such a choice but god dammit I expected more from you. As disappointed as I am now I have but one thing in my plan to do since everything else has failed .In the day that is to come there will be a huge explosion that I hope will make you reconsider the way you think and who are truly those people who you consider good people. What's going to be revealed might shock you but that's truly my purpose. Shock you so that you'll never let them manipulate you again. After tomorrow I hope that you will finally learn to see things the way they truly are not just black and white but learn more colors because life's that way. After tomorrow you will never hear of me again because I will be the one who will sacrifice in the big bang .I will die because I can't stand this life anymore. It has gotten much too ugly for me. The last thing you shall hear from me is one letter explaining the big bang in more detail. Goodbye forever"

After that video it finally became clear to me. Without any doubt the killer was Jeremy Jamins .He had got so desperate and mad after the death of his family that he soon lost his mind and thought of a way to get revenge at those people. However it soon became nothing more than a dangerous hobby for most people. He had to be stopped from performing that final act of his. People don't need to know how life really is. They can still live their phony lives and let some of us face the real tragedy that life is. Tomorrow's was the day that Dexter didn't exist for anyone but the Dark Passenger. No Rita,No Deb,No Police,No fucking anything just me ,Jeremy and most importantly the Dark Passenger. What I had been trying to achieve for so long would be completed tomorrow .I couldn't even describe the delight I felt thinking of this .I went to sleep because I had to get up early tomorrow.

I woke up sweating and I had to admit that I didn't sleep well .I was anxious because if I fail there may be innocent blood spilled .I dressed and got in the car and went to Jeremy's house I waited for him to come out and try to conduct his big bang thing .I would wait there and when the time was right I would kill him. It was broad daylight still and I couldn't risk being seen trying to enter a house. So I would wait for him to go somewhere isolated and then I would do my thing to him. It only was a matter of time. After thirty hours of watching the house he finally left the apartment holding a paper which he was reading as he stepped out of the door. When he finished reading it he tore it into small pieces and threw it to the garbage. Then he entered the car and drove far away .It had begun.. I drove just as well following his every move ,following him like a shadow waiting to spot a weakness and backstab him. After a a little driving on his part he finally came to stop on a church .I stopped too. I saw him without any explosives or stuff so it wasn't that going to be the big bang the told people of. What was he doing to the church was a mystery to me. Did he come to ask for forgiveness for his acts or did he come in hopes of meeting his family throughout some sort of spiritual something. Three minutes after he entered I decided to enter the church myself. After I got out of the car I moved some steps towards the door. However I noticed that I forgot my mobile phone and got back in order to get it. After I opened the door's car I heard an explosion .I looked at the church and it was gone. There was only one thing in my mind now."What The Fuck Just Happened".
