His Worst Nightmare.

Chapter 5.

"Dammit!" The minute the two Detectives left his office,

Dexter knew that Detective Goren had sensed the presence of his Dark

Passenger. What amazed Dexter the most was that his Dark Passenger had

answered Detective Goren's very own Dark Passenger.

"Who is this man?" Dexter sat himself down at his laptop and started

pulling up everything he could find on one Detective Robert..

An hour later he sat back satisfied at what he found. His mother was

Schizophrenic, his father an abusive drunk and his brother was a junkie.

All now dead. All the criteria needed to explain the presence of a Dark

Passenger in Goren.

"Mister I can see that I'am going to have to keep as big a distance as I can

from you."

Several hours later, Bobby and Alex had finished setting up the conference

room, ready for the big task force meeting in the morning.

Alex looked at the clock it was already 6pm.

" Ok Goren, you owe me a big big Maragarita. Let's get outta here and take

A look at this city we are in."

They found a bar about 4 blocks from the precinct and sat themselves

down.

" Bar tender, a Margarita and a Glenlivet whiskey please." After placing

the order Goren turned to Alex.

"What did you make of that blood splatter expert?"

"Dexter Morgan? He seemed shy but he is a real expert in his field." She

answered.

As Goren sipped on his whiskey, he thought about Dexter Morgan.

"Penny for your thoughts?" she asked him.

"Just running a mental check on the things I have to do in the morning.

Did Morgan seem weird to you?"

"No, like I said just shy and quiet. We can pull his file, if it will help you?"

"Yeah I think that is a good idea, I like to know who I'm dealing with."

She walked into the bar and sat in a remote corner, from where she could

Observe the two of them, without them seeing her. A devlish smile on her face

She had him exactly where she wanted him. She knew that the man was a dead

ringer for his nephew, her plan was starting to unfold. As she looked at Goren

she felt a kind of sick sympathy for him, Gage had convinced her that killing his

brother was what was best for Bobby. It was hard for her to believe that they

were brothers as Frank was so weak, 'well addiction does that to you' she thought.

As she now studied Goren she saw how much he had aged in the short time she

had known him, the loss of his mother and his brother had taken their toll, and

the betrayal from his mentor had been the final straw. Does he even know his

Feelings towards his partner? That thought caused Nicole to frown

She threw $20 on the table and left the bar into the warm Miami night.

They stayed at the bar till 11pm, then Bobby paid their bill and they headed

back towards the hotel, on the way the stood and looked out across the water.

The waves crashing on the beach had a soothing effect and Bobby could feel

Himself starting to relax for the first time in days.

Alex looked up at her partner and said, " it's beautiful here isn't it?"

As Bobby turned an looked at her he saw how the breeze caught her hair, she

was illuminated by the bright lights behind them. He absent-mindedly reached

out and gently pushed some wayward bangs out of her face. He heard her

intake of breath, and then realised with shock what he had done. He looked

down at her an then said "Eames we had better get back to the hotel and try

And get some sleep, we have a long day tomorrow".

They then turned and walked back to their hotel, upon arriving at their

adjoining rooms they said their goodnights and went their separate ways.

Agreeing to meet in the hotel restaurant at 7am the next morning.

After Alex had showered she climbed into her beds and thought about the

evenings events, she was glad that Bobby had finally managed to relax.

Then she thought about the way he had brushed her hair out of her face.

The look on his face when he did it was so intense and he was so tender.

She smiled when she remembered how shocked he had been as he realised

what he had done. It had been the first time he had ever reached out and

touched her and much to her surprise, Alex found she had enjoyed the

intimate touch. She knew her feelings ran deep for her partner, but tonight

She truly realised how deep.

She walked into the hotel restaurant at 7am and saw him already sitting at a

table. As she took her seat opposite him he pushed a cup of coffee towards her,

she greatfully took a sip, as always it was perfect. After they had breakfast they

walked over to the Police department and took their seats and waited for the

Miami homicide team to arrive so they could start to brief them. It was with

great interest that Goren noticed, how Dexter Morgan was the last to arrive

and take his seat to the rear of the group so that they obstructed his view to

him.

After the briefing Dexter returned to his little cubicle and opened his laptop,

he immediately started to get all the information he could on the murder

victim, whom they had now managed to identify as one Dale Thompson.

After a hour of diligence Dexter had pulled up all his bank transactions and

credit card useage.

He had listened to Detective Goren's briefing on the serial killer Nicole Wallace

with great interest, he now knew that he would have to be very careful with this

one.

Dale Thompson was a man with a set routine but recently he had been

frequenting a very popular Miami club, Dexter decided he would also pay this

club a lot of attention. He took the last picture of Nicole Wallace then set about

his regular work.
