His Worst Nightmare.
Chapter 32
Red Hook NYC.
Nicole took the envelope off of Copa and withdrew the pictures. It took every last bit of self-control, to not react to what she saw. 'How dare he!' She thought.
She needed to change her plans and quickly, and get rid of excess baggage! She busily packed her clothing and everything she would need, including an assortment of different ID's and passports. She walked over to Nelda Carlson and released her from her chains.
Nelda looked at Nicole and rubbed her ankles. She didn't like the way the stranger kept on staring at her, he made the small hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
"I owe you, so this is some free advice. Stay away from your ex-husband and if you know what is good for you, then stay away from Goren, he belongs to me and nobody else! Here are keys to a Taurus that is parked outside; you have a new ID and passport, use it flee to Canada or to Mexico. I never want to see you again; if I do I will kill you. Do I make myself clear?"
Nelda looked up at Nicole and took the offered keys and new papers. She hastily packed a few things as this would be her only chance to get out of here alive. She departed the old warehouse and it didn't take her long to find the Taurus. As soon as she was seated behind the steering wheel she noticed a bag on the passenger side. She reached over and opened it and gasped. There had to be at least $100,000 in it. She zipped it shut again and started the engine. She would not follow Nicole's advice. She was going to use this money to find Barry. First of all she would use all those years of being locked up in prison. It had been a wealth of information for her, on how to buy weapons and places that could be used to lay low in, for now her top priority was to buy a gun. With a last look back she started the engine and drove off towards Manhattan.
Nicole stood at the window and watched Nelda leave.
"Do you think that was a good idea?" Copa asked her.
"All part of my plan, my dear. It won't take long before she is caught. She is too obsessed on her ex-husband, there is no way she will do the sensible thing and leave the country. We have to get out of here as fast as possible, I don't trust the bitch she is probably calling the police right now and telling them of my location, come on help me pack my stuff into the Range Rover and let's get out of here, shall we."
With a grin and a shake of his head Copa, complied with Wallace's orders. As soon as they were seated in the Range Rover he turned to her.
"Ok so where are we going to go?" Nicole pulled down the sun blind and applied new lipstick. After she had finished she turned to Copa and smiled.
"Why to Gavin's of course."
Underwood Memorial Hospital NJ.
It had been 24 hours since Dexter's lifesaving operation. Deborah was glad that Detective Eames had arranged for her sister to take Harrison; he would be better off playing with kids his own age. It was touching when the Doctor allowed Harrison to come in and see his father, he had knelt beside him on the bed and gently stroked his dad's face and told him that he would draw him another picture to hang on his wall. He had missed his father terribly, and she refused to believe that she would lose him.
Things, however, were not looking all that good as Dexter had developed a fever. She had given her permission for the Doctor to use a new super anti biotic, in the hope that they could prevent his condition from deteriorating any further.
She sat beside him and mopped his brow, and told him about the things Harrison had been doing at school. She also threatened to come after him and kick his butt if he ever dared to leave them.
Major Case Squad.
Alex thanked Detective Jeffries, as he handed her the forensic reports from the cigarette butts. Bobby, who sat opposite, looked up.
"Are those our forensic reports?"
He asked as he got up and walked over to Alex. He stood behind her and leant over so that he could also read the report with her.
After they had read it, they both walked over to Hannah's office and knocked.
"Come in! Good I was just about to call you both over for an update, any news on Morgan yet?"
Hannah asked as Bobby and Alex sat down opposite him.
"No good news I'm afraid. His sister called and informed us that he had developed a fever; he had a very rough night. The doctor is doing everything he can for him. Alex reached over and placed the report in front of Hannah. "We received the results back, no good news either. DNA was a match for one of Massuci's soldiers. Question is why the Massuci's would order a hit on Dexter Morgan?"
Hannah looked over the report. He could already feel a migraine coming on.
"That is something we can ask him once he regains consciousness. Arrange for this mutt, to be picked up and brought in for questioning. I want you two to follow leads on possible suspects, who helped to spring our two fruitcakes from that prison transporter. Start off by paying a visit to Gavin Haynes, step into him. I want them both behind bars, and I'm sure you do too."
He watched as they both left his office.
1 Central Park West, New York.
Using the key that Haynes gave him, Copa entered the lift with Wallace. Haynes was paying him very generously; however, Wallace had a much better offer. He felt betrayed by the NYPD after all the years he had served them and how they had rewarded him. All thanks to Goren. He knew that today he would step over a line and there would be no going back. Nicole had told him of what she had planned with Haynes. Tonight he would be an accomplice in a murder, and this one would not be his last. He had two more on that list.
Overpowering Gavin was easy. Getting him to comply with Nicole was difficult. It surprised him how much he was enjoying torturing him, although in his mind it was somebody else whose fingers he broke, and beat to a pulp. After an hour of holding out against the pain Gavin finally relented and did as Nicole told him.
She had him transfer 5 million dollars to a Swiss account. Once the transfer was confirmed, he watched her take a knife out of the kitchen, and she straddled him on the floor.
"Gavin it would have been much easier if you had cooperated right from the start. Now look at you, you're a mess. Our marriage wasn't always unpleasant." She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Gavin's lips and then looked him in the eye.
"No-one betrays me Gavin; those who do don't live to brag about it."
With the coldest smile he had ever seen in his life, Copa watched as she cut his Carotid artery and waited till he had bled out, then using his own blood, she drew a broken heart on his chest.
She helped him to open the safe that Gavin had in his Penthouse. There was $500,000 at least, the most money he had ever seen in his life. Nicole packed it all into a backpack and handed it to him.
"Consider that a first payment, believe me I pay those who are loyal to me well, you just saw what happened to those who betray me. Let that be a lesson."
After making sure that he wiped the crime scene clean of their prints, he followed her down to their car. He drove them out of Manhattan after three hours they reached a nice hotel where they booked a room.
Wallace had friends here; it was time for them to plan their next course of action…
