"What did you say to Batista?" Dexter asked glancing else where.

"Not that it matters to you but I need to keep my job and the only way to do that is to take myself off the case here." I used a brash tone with him.

"That comment you made to Deb, enlighten me, would you?" I smirked glad I had the shades on to hide the fear in my eyes.

"That get under your skin did it?" I asked walking out into the very rare gloomy Florida weather. "It wasn't meant for you but rather Deb. I want no trouble, your deep dark secret is safe with me Dexter." I pulled the car door open only for Dexter to shut it using his strength against mine.

"You mess with her, you mess with me. It wouldn't take much to get rid of you Scout. You have no family. All you have is Jacob Elway." He held a blank face moving my shades from my eyes.

"What are you gonna do, write a note to Jake saying I needed a fresh start or something?" That would never work. Jacob Elway knew me better than I knew myself most days. If I was to leave like that I would sit down and have a full-blown conversation with him. I would never up and leave especially the only person I knew and trusted with my life.

"Something like that." He stated. I held back my laughter.

"He'd know something happened to me. I don't like change. So Mr. Morgan I wouldn't up leave for anything." I stated.

"Mr. Morgan was my father." He replied in a calm tone walking off. I really didn't care as long as he left me be. I was relieved to walk away from this confrontation in one piece. The drive back to the office was a slow one I wanted nothing to do with Jake when I got there. I was over 2 hours late, I had hoped he would take it easy after the night he knew damn well I had.

Each step was harder to take. My insides felt as if they were ready to burst inside of me. I wanted to make a mad dash to my office but he was more than likely waiting for me. I looked inside his office but I didn't see him there. I frowned feeling some of the pressure escape. It was when I pushed the door to my office open I froze with a gulp seeing him behind my desk.

"Didn't I tell you, you needed to be here bright and early? What happened this morning isn't a valued excuse." He replied leaning forward in my chair. I sat down across from him finding it weird to be on this side of my desk.

"You wanted me to pick my job or the case at Miami Metro. That's what took so long."

"So you're leaving then?" There was no emotions behind the words he spoke.

"If you wouldn't fucking interrupt me you'd know I picked my job over them, I picked you over Dexter. I put my life at risk for you. Why? Because I'm fucking in love with you and it's only a matter of time before Dexter comes after me and fucking kills me because I know what he really is." I yelled covering my mouth realizing what all I had let slip from my mouth. He got up walking out without saying a word. I fucked everything up and I had no idea how I was going to fix it. I couldn't focus on the work that was piled on my desk. Blurting out my feelings for him were one thing but giving away Dexter's secret that was low even for me.

"I think we need to talk Scout." He was cool, calm and collected and I was still a mess. "First we're gonna address you being in love with me."

"Can we forget I said that? You're my boss and I don't wanna ruin my job here or make things weird with us. Do I love you? Yes, do I wanna be. I don't know yet. You've been my rock through so many years Jake. Right now I'm not sure what I want." I explained feeling better about things now that he knew that part of the secret I had burdened myself with.

"No we can't forget Scout. It's out there so tonight after work we're gonna go out on a date." I sighed softly nodding. He wouldn't take no for an answer and it couldn't be that bad. "Now about Dexter killing you, why would he? What is he exactly?" I could still cover this up enough to get him off it.

"I thought I saw him kill a man a while back." I started only to get interrupted.

"The day you didn't show because of what you did to your father?" Was asked, I nodded answering his question. "So your head was a mess, can you be certain that's what you saw? That it was Dexter?"

"I can't be sure. It could have been all in my head. I swear it was Dexter but sometimes you can't tell reality from a dream. It was dark so it's hard to say if it was Dexter or some strange guy." I explained hoping he was buying it.

"Ok but I'm gonna have a look into Dexter and see if I can find anything." He told me getting up.

"But you really don't." I replied. I didn't want anything to happen to him. And Dexter would kill him if he got to close to the truth about him.

"Yes I do. You got work to do, get it done." He snapped walking out leaving the door open. I couldn't let him do this alone. I'd have to sneak my way into his plan especially if he started to follow him. I looked at the paper work on my desk. Being sucked into all the legal BS would keep my mind from everything else and that was a distraction I needed at that moment.

A/N: I didn't plan on for this to turn into an OC/Elway story with Dexter threw in but writing can be very unpredictable at times, I know how it ends and I hope you all enjoy the last few chapters of this one. Also regarding the last chapter it was important for Jacob Elway to have a softer side to him. A huge Thank You to everyone that has been a part of this story so far, you guy and gals rock!
