"Hey," she said, sounding pissed.
"You can come in now."
"I saw why you didn't want me meeting your sister. She works with you. She saw me when I came in both times."
"Yeah, and she also knows you and Quinn were hooking up, and he's her ex."
"I guess if she ever meets me, she'll kill me."
There was a knock at the door, I opened the door and Leigh pushed passed me.
"We need to get to business," she said as she put her phone away. She pulled out a manila folder. "Robert Halden, age 32, was arrested for the rape of a 15 year old girl when he was 27, he was released because the girl refused to testify, and she was later found dead in a park. Since then, 7 other girls have shown up here and there all having signs of sexual assault."
"And what makes you think it's him?"
"All these girls were killed in different ways, so police never thought of it being a serial killer. But they all resemble the first girl. All around 15 years old, all red heads."
"So where is this guy?"
"Do I have to find this all on my own?"
"You're the one who planned this and who brought the file."
"Valid point. Anyway, fine I have his address," she chuckled. "So, I'm guessing you'll want to check the guy out, so I recommend doing it as soon as possible."
"Why's that?"
"He's leaving the state at the end of the week. We'll need to kill him soon," she said smiling at me.
"What if I still don't think he did it?"
"Then you're off of the project and it's for me only. Trust me; read the file, you'll know he's guilty."
She sat down on the couch and watched as I read through the file. It was incredibly detailed; I wondered how she got access to this kind of information. When I finally finished she smiled at me.
"Well?" she asked.
"I think you're right."
"I told you. I knew you would go for it."
"So what's the plan?"
"Glad you asked. We like to stalk our prey, get their routine down to learn when to pounce. So, how do you feel about a duel stakeout tonight?" she asked.
"You mean like a date?"
"If you think following this guy around is a date."
"So, when do we go?"
"You are just full of questions today aren't you Dexter? To answer that question, I'll be here around 6:30; he gets off of work around 7, so that'll give us time to get over there and follow him out to the bar."
"So what do we do until then?"
"Do whatever the fuck you want to do. I have to be at work in like," she checked her watch, "10 minutes. I'll see you later Dexter."
She walked out the door and I went to get my bag ready. I wasn't sure if we were just stalking tonight, or if this would turn into a kill, she did seem to know his routine fairly well. I don't know why I was so excited. Maybe it was just to get to kill something, or it could be getting to see the "Bloody Mary" in action.
Author's Note:
Hey guys, sorry it's so short. I'm still toying around with the next part, so it's not ready. I haven't had much time to be on the computer to edit and add. I start school tomorrow, so I will be trying my best to keep up with the story. I have a half day tomorrow, so hopefully I will have time to work on it. Thank you guys for reading. Feel free to comment. I apologize again for this being such a short chapter. ~missmuffinpants.
