His Worst Nightmare
Chapter 25
Conference Room MCS
As soon as they had finalized going over the evidence for the trial Dexter stood up and excused himself. He just needed to get out of there, Goren had been scrutinizing him all day. He badly needed to get back to his laptop and hack into the NYPD database on the recently deceased playmate and find out what they had on evidence. He was glad that Goren had not followed him out, he knew he had to talk to Carver about something personal.
He wasn't very happy that Wallace was in jail, he would much rather she had bail so that he could show her his brand of justice. It would be very complicated though as she was now pregnant and from reading Goren's body language he seemed to be accepting this child. First things first I really needed to get to my laptop!
Bobby watched Dexter leave the bullpen, he had wanted to talk to him about the Bay Harbor butcher but he was getting some really weird feelings about this. He would pull the file on that case as soon as he had talked to Ron Carver about his plans of getting total custody of his baby girl. He still had a good friend who was a lawyer who specialized in custody battles. He also had to drive over to Bedford Hills correctional facility. He needed to talk to Nicole...
Bedford Hills Correctional Facility NY.
Nicole sat in her cell and looked at the ultrasound picture of her child. So far her plan was working, Nelda had been transferred to her own cell and would be traveling to the court house for the trial with her. All that was now needed was the final pieces of her plan to work. Another week and she would be out of this place, after all Bobby didn't think that she would raise their child in prison now did he? Tut tut.
Hotel Azure room 601 NY.
Dexter sat on his bed going through the NYPD database on the Massuci case. He was getting careless in his old age and had left a partial footprint a problem easily solved when he walked down to a nearby alleyway and gave his Nike's to a homeless guy, they were good shoes he would miss them.
After returning to his room he ordered some food over room service so when there was a knock at his door he never thought anything of it and opened the door. To his surprise though it wasn't room service... It was Detective Robert Goren!
"Hi sorry if I'm disturbing you is it OK for me to come in?"
I looked at him still somewhat in shock then opened the door an let him follow me into my room, this was not good! I offered him one of the seats in the room and sat in the one opposite him.
"How can I help you Detective? Did we forget something?"
I watched his face and boy was he good I couldn't read anything. I braced myself for whatever it was that brought him here to my hotel room.
Bobby Goren sat in the chair and scrutinized Dexter Morgan. Every alarm bell was being set off when he looked at this man. However he owed his life to him. He opened his binder and took out all the files he had on the 'Bay Harbor Butcher' and the autopsy report that Dr. Rodgers had handed him.
" I was hoping that you could help us with a case we are currently working on. A Mob man was murdered over in Central Park it left us with only two pieces of evidence, a shoe print from a size 10 Nike sneaker and there were traces of a strong tranquilizer which is used on large animals called Etorphine.
I ran a search through the Database on this drug and I got one hit, and I was hoping that you are familiar in that case. A serial killer in Miami known as the 'Bay Harbor Butcher' the remains that were found had traces of this tranquilizer. Do you recall this case?"
Bobby watched Dexter intently for any tells.
"I remember it very well, it was a shock to us all that Sgt. Doakes was the murderer." Dexter tried not to squirm in his chair.
Bobby looked again at all the evidence on this case.
" I read Doakes personal file, it says he was in the Special Forces so I guess he was familiar with such drugs. It just seems strange that these traces were found in Massuci." Bobby paused and scratched his head.
"Were you involved in the forensic team that investigated the murder victims and of Doakes after he died from the explosion?"
"I was involved in the DNA testing of the victims, we also had to do verifying blood DNA tests to confirm Sargent Doakes Identity after the explosion. Like I said it shocked everybody in the department."
Goren couldn't detect any sign of uneasiness in Morgan as he explained.
"I read the reports from Federal Agent Lundy who established a profile of the Serial Killer and he said that Doake's in no way fit his profile of the killer. Although the evidence was damming. I also read that there were problems between you and Sargeant Doakes it said that you were both involved in a fight in the squadroom prior to his death."
There a flicker Goren saw it! Dexter took a deep breath.
" Yes, as I said I was working on the DNA samples and the evidence from the bodies... Doakes followed me into my office he was mad at me and tried to tell me that my work was sub par. He had me in a corner and so I told him that I had no mistakes and that he get out of my face, so I pushed past him and left my office. Next thing I knew he came running out after me and started to punch me. After wards it was clear why he reacted the way he did. I apologize but this brings back bad memories for me it was a very frightening experience, after all I had pissed him off... who knows I could very well have been his next victim!"
A knock at the door interrupted the rest of their conversation. Once Goren saw that Morgan's dinner had arrived he excused himself and left.
Dexter was not happy, this talk had destroyed his appetite. He could tell when someone was suspicious of him and he knew that Goren would be investigating the matter further. He sent a silent prayer that he had thoroughly covered all of his tracts.
