CHPT 9: Psychdoo

Dexter stepped into the darkened closet, diagonal from the front door. He held his syringe tight, but he didn't understand why.

There was no reason for him to fear about this "victim." Maybe it was the idea that it felt too...easy.

Dexter started recollecting how effortless it was to get into Flim's house.

Also, if he had any bit of fear stapled to his brain, he would have at least try to make his house safer. Whatever the impression for Dexter's doubt about the situation, he knew he could overcome it.

The front door swung open with a white dog in front and Flim in the back of him. The dog was a Great Dane sporting a red collar, a scarlet hat, and Corey Hart's sunglasses.

Damn, thought Dexter.

He figured out why his Dark Passenger was trying to alert him.

This dog was almost as big as Dexter and probably heavier than he was. This would make things a little difficult.

The two walked down the steps to the basement. Dexter ran out of the living room and into the newspaper room and pulled out another syringe. He thought hard a about his plan of attack.

Then the idea hit him in the head like a baseball bat.

He crept to the front door, unlocked it and rang the doorbell. He quickly locked the door and ran to the 60's striped couch. This oversized bunker would be the perfect cover.

The downstairs door opened to reveal the guard dog.

He lazily walked to the front door.

The room was almost completely still dark, except for the streetlights that shined through the window. The light revealed the dog's collar tag, reading Scooby Dum.

"Sonofabitch," murmured Dexter,"Another Doo."

Scooby Dum unlocked the door and slowly opened it. He was unfazed by nobody being at the door, but Dexter couldn't say the same when he stuck the tranquilizer into Dum's neck.

He thrashed his paws around trying to hit the perpetrator. It was a general reflex, although one of the paws managed to hit Dexter in the face, it didn't make him lose his balance.

The dog was now unconscious and he was able to deal with Flim Flam the way he wanted to.
