"Coming from someone that doesn't give a fuck about his father. Don't you think that's a dumbass thing to say?" Doctor Escobar spoke in a placating tone. Tables turned. He suddenly became in charge of the situation. He was finally able to neutralize Dexter's ego Whispering into Doctor Escobar's ears, Kelly said. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? Are you aware that George is inside? Get the damn keys from Dexter and get him out," "Take a chill pillI got this. It's nothing for you to worry about," Doctor Escobar assured Kelly. In the process of trying to create the assurance, he got Kelly more confused. "I Sincerely don't understand what's going on. Can you please explain!?" Kelly begged. Doctor Escobar was already messing with his head. "I guess I have seen enough already. What the heck do you want from me? You haven't said anything significant since. I thought you wanted the damn keys? Why do you keep rejecting it?" Dexter raged. He thought Doctor Escobar would be a walk
"Hi, George. How are you feeling? I am sorry for what's been happening around you lately. I just wish there was a way I could help out," Kelly spoke as he entered the ward with Doctor Escobar. Like a concerned friend, he went to sit next to George on the bed. It's safe to say that Kelly was the best thing that ever happened to George in a while. He wasn't related to George, yet he cared so much about him as though they were biological brothers. A lot about George had changed. He wasn't the George Kelly knew from way back. Aside from looking so pale, George had lost weight as though he hadn't been feeding well for the past few days. The situation had completely overwhelmed George, hence snatching away his confidence. For once in his life, he forgot what it feels like to be a Father. He would pay to turn back the hands of time. "How do I feel? I doubt if that's even a question. Oh my goodness! How do I come in on this right now? Well, you you guess. I bet you would know better." Ge
Nurse Elizabeth was left alone to look out for herself as Nurse walked away from the scene. To Olivia, the situation is less relevant as she has other important business to tend to.While Nurse Elizabeth stood, she paid more attention to Dexter than her job. She wasn't even paying attention to the people in front of her. All that ever mattered was Dexter. She was stuck between going to meet Dexter or letting it slide.Nurse Elizabeth said to herself. "I gotta interfere in this shit and that's final. There's no way I am letting this go away like that. This guy might be dangerous. It's high time someone stops him before it becomes too late," After uttering the words, Nurse Elizabeth left the counter approaching Dexter when Nurse Olivia intercepted her from nowhere. "Where the heck are you heading to? I thought I told you to let it go. Why are you so bent on making a mountain out of a molehill? Are you always this annoying? Or did you just choose to act stupid today?" Olivia questione
“Bring it on, Dexter the puppet. I want to see your best shot. Show me the stuff you made off. You won't even dare do anything nasty to me.” Elizabeth dared Dexter. She saw the movement of his punch preparing to land on her face, and she wasn't bothered. Nurse Elizabeth got so much closer to Dexter as though she wanted to spit on his face. At that point, Olivia lost her temper and patience. She couldn't endure watching them hurl abusive words at each other. She was also worried about Elizabeth's safety. From the way Olivia saw Dexter preparing his punch, it was only a matter of time before he smashed her head against the wall. “Hello, Sir. Please ignore anything she says to you. I am pretty sure she doesn't know what she's doing. This is a reputable hospital. I can assure you that we, the nurses, are the nicest people you would ever come across.” Olivia pleaded on Elizabeth's behalf. Despite the approach from Olivia wasn't bothered. It wasn't enough to change her mind. Rathe
“Can you please plead with Nurse Elizabeth not to press charges against me? Because I'm pretty sure that's the next thing on her mind right now. Regardless of what might have happened between the two of you, she's still your friend and colleague. I believe she will listen to you.” Dexter pleaded. It was strange to see him act that way. This is coming from someone who nearly brought down the roof of the hospital with his excess pressure. “I should plead on your behalf? Are you even paying attention to yourself? Now that's the shit I'm referring to? A little self-consciousness would have avoided this. Sorry, there's nothing I can do about this. You brought it upon yourself. You should find a way to fix it,” Olivia spoke without mincing words. She didn't give Dexter the slightest hope that she was going to help him. In the process of pleading for forgiveness, two men dressed like police showed up in the hospital. Seeing them approaching, Dexter suddenly became cold and nearly peed In
“I need to speak with my lawyer.It's time-sensitive that I do that. Can you please take the cuffs off me,” Dexter requested as the cops drove him to the station like a criminal. No one paid attention to him. The other cops stayed mute as though Dexter never existed. Not even Officer Lucas, who was seated next to Dexter, could utter a word. “Can someone please say something to me? Please, I need to speak with my lawyer. Perhaps, my Father. He has to know my whereabouts. How long will you all continue to keep me silent? This isn't fair.” Dexter cried. He had finally decided to call his Father even though it may be impossible for George to come through for him through this difficult time. After ignoring him for too long, Officer Lucas finally uttered. “Sorry, sir. You aren't permitted to do that right now. It's against the law. Unless we decide that, you are not allowed to speak to anyone. I wouldn't want us to argue on this. Are we clear now?”Officer Lucas ended up breaking Dext
“Of course I do. He is Dexter Cooper.He dares not deny it,” Romeo, the cops reported.“Did you hear what he said?” Officer Lucas called Dexter who was trying to sneak away from the scene. Deep down, he knew that he was guilty already.“Yes, I do know him,”Dexter confessed. He couldn't deny it because he knew his secret had been exposed already.“Romeo, where do you know him from? I doubt if he would be ready to speak up. I can see that guilt has eaten the best part of him,” Officer Lucas inquired. He was no longer in a haste to send Lucas to the cell. He had a feeling that Dexter might have committed another crime only Romeo knew about.“He was previously arrested in this station. Fortunately for him, his rich Dad was able to come to his rescue and grant him bail,” Romeo addressed. He added more information to paint Dexter as the bad guy.Dexter couldn't argue. He was just hoping that the situation won't get messier than it already seems Upon hearing from Romeo, Officer Lucas sm
"I sincerely apologize for barging Inside the ward like that. I should have knocked first before thinking of coming inside. This is a bad time to be here, I guess," Nurse Olivia freaked out like a toddler. She saw death and life flashed right across her face. For a moment, she thought she was never gonna survive the last few seconds inside the ward. Her forehead was sweaty despite the air-conditioner being turned onThe terrifying look from Doctor Escobar further complicated Olivia's situation. That was the moment she wished she possessed some supernatural powers. Perhaps she would have vanished into thin air and saved herself from the impending torture that awaits her. It would have been better if it was just George in the ward. With the presence of Doctor Escobar, speaking up might be a major concern for Olivia A few minutes have passed, and no one has said a word yet. Not even Doctor Escobar, Kelly, or George. They all waited for her to speak up first. They knew that she would
“Do you enjoy wasting people's time, or it's a habit you just developed?” George snarled. He swore not to get himself involved in another heated moment with the cops anymore. Unfortunately, Rhoda pushed his button, forcing him to go against his will.“That's Officer Lucas. He's going to attend to you. He's responsible for this case,” Rhoda confessed just to roll the burden away from her heart. “You bitch! You had to find a way to force me into this mess. I am going to make you pay for what you just did.” Lucas threatened Rhoda. He was sending signals to Rhoda not to point at him, but she wasn't paying attention. Guilt and anxiety had taken over her soul. The only thing she was interested in was seeing Dexter and his Father leave. “I am sorry, Sir. I had no choice I was under immense pressure,” Rhoda apologized. Unfortunately, the apology was rejected immediately as Lucas continued to yell at her. “Keep your damn apology to yourself. I don't want to hear it. Why didn't you te
Five minutes had gone past and Dexter was still chewing his nails, thinking of his decision. He feared making the worst decision that was most likely to ruin his life for good. As much as Dexter hated being locked up in the police station for too long and would do anything to buy his freedom, he still wasn't satisfied with his Father's decision. He wished his Father would reconsider his decision and have mercy on him. Getting married to Ciara wasn't what Dexter had envisaged in his lifetime, because they never liked each other from the onset. He never for once, found Ciara worthy enough to be his girlfriend, let alone his wife. He had a feeling that the marriage wouldn't even leave for a week before they finally got divorced. “You should know that being kept quiet is what I hate the most, Dexter. Yet, you keep doing it to me. Do you think I'm here to look at your ugly face? I've got other important stuff to worry about. Instead, I chose to come here and save your sorry ass.
"My son? What the hell are you talking about, Kelly? I can't see anybody here. Please where's Dexter? Or have you started imagining things? Perhaps, we should have your head examined because it's obvious that you're losing it already," George taunted Kelly. But it was Dexter who felt it the most. Dexter felt humiliated by his Father's derogatory remarks about him. To Dexter, that was worse than being abandoned in the police custody. That was the moment he wished that his Father never agreed to show up. Because the presence of his Father makes no difference to him whatsoever. "Now this is getting serious, George.When did you suddenly become a comedian? Are you saying that you can't recognize your son anymore or what?" Kelly frowned. The whole thing was starting to look like a joke to him. He doesn't understand George anymore because that wasn't their initial plan. George stood up and pointed towards Dexter. "Kelly, take a good look at this man standing here. Does he have any s
Rhoda hasn't rested since she escorted Dexter to see his Father. Rhoda wasn't with them in the visitor’s room but her heart won't stop beating faster. This was the only time she ever wished that Dexter would be granted bail by his father so she could be free from the pressure the coopers had heaped on her. As Rhoda mauled over her thoughts, Lucas walked past her unnoticed. He returned to her duty post when he noticed that Rhoda refused to acknowledge his presence. "Hey, Rhoda. How's it going with you?" Lucas waved at Rhoda to get her attention. He did that the second time, yet there was no response from Rhoda. Not even a blink of an eye. It appears that she was lost in profound thought judging from the way she placed her hands below her jawline. Fed up with seeking Rhoda's attention, Lucas slammed the desk In frustration to awaken her lost soul. "Good day, sir," Rhoda hurriedly greeted Lucas and did the salutation to welcome him. "How long have you been standing here, sir?"
He threw the car keys to Romeo and pointed to a blue Lexus Rx car. "You see that over there? That's the one we are going with," "We are here now," Romeo announced. It was a twenty-minute drive. The shortest drive that George has ever had. "So fast?" George asked. He thought it was gonna be a long journey. "Yes, so fast. I could understand your reaction. It's because it's your first time," Romeo explained. Then he went ahead to narrate everything that needed to be known about the station. He laid more emphasis on Rhoda and Officer Lucas than anyone else. To him, those two were the real vampires of the station. "I've heard everything you said. We will be back in ten minutes," George told Romeo as they stepped outside. "Ten minutes? I seriously doubt that," Romeo laughed. He can't see how that will be achieved when Rhoda and Lucas are In the picture. "You took the car keys, didn't you?" Kelly reminded George. He has been harboring that question In his mind for a while now."O
Kelly and George went back to Romeo with a different kind of mood that seemed a lot more encouraging. Most especially George, who almost kicked Romeo out of the house a while ago because he thought that Romeo was an imposter. “Are you both done with the private talk already? What was the conclusion? Do I need to stay or leave?” Romeo asked in anticipation. Romeo's heart was beating faster. He saw the smiles on Kelly's face, yet he wasn't convinced. The last time he checked, George was Dexter's Father and not Kelly. He still can't fathom how Kelly was putting in more energy in the case than George, who's the biological father of Dexter. Now he knows why no one has shown up to bail Dexter yet. “We have agreed to come with you to the station to see Dexter” George finally agreed. He had to glare at Kelly before responding. “That sounds like a great idea. I bet Dexter will be so happy to see you. He can't stop talking about you. However, we might have a slight problem,” Romeo frown
“Are you seriously mocking me now? What do you mean he's gonna show up? Did he disclose that to you? Or you're the one making false assumptions just to please me?” George flared at Kelly.“Oh, here he comes,” Kelly called George's attention as he pointed at someone from a distance. “I told you he wasn't gone. You should have listened to me. I guess you owe me an apology now,” Kelly bragged. “You again? I thought you were gone?” George acted surprised. He pretends not to care about Romeo's return. But deep down, he cared the most. His ego was just preventing him from speaking the truth.“I never left. I had an urgent call that needed to be answered in private. Well, here I am now. Do I still need to prove myself to you?” Romeo explained. From the atmosphere around them, he was already feeling optimistic that George was going to let him in.“No worries, Do come in,” Kelly welcomed Romeo after waiting for George to speak. Considering how egocentric George was, Kelly was damn sure t
“Yo! Dave. Can you please come take this empty glass away? And thank you for the drink. I appreciate you. I must say, you are quite nice. Don't stop doing good. It's only a matter of time before your reward comes,” Kelly said to Dave. He saw Dave passing by and decided to call him.Dave was stunned by Kelly's gesture. None of George's visitors has treated him in such a kind manner before. Not even Dexter, Derek, or George's business partners. “It is my pleasure to serve you, sir. Thank you for the advice. It means a lot to me,” Dave smiled and left with that tray.Kelly won't stop checking his wristwatch. He was getting fed up with George's constant delay.“What's George doing out there? I thought he promised not to stay too long.” Kelly's soliloquies as he waited for George to be done. He can't even see the face of the person that George was speaking with at the doorway.“What did you say your name was again?” George asked yet another question. It appears that he wasn't too pleas
“Just forget about Derek. Welcome to my humble abode. Would you like me to get you something to drink?” George forced a smile to make Kelly forget about the issue. He proceeds to call Dave. “ Hey, Dave. Go get my friend a glass of red wine. Make it snappy. He is my best friend. I wouldn't want you to keep him waiting for too long,”“No, please wait. I don't need anything for now. I didn't come here to be entertained,” Kelly hurriedly stopped Dave just as the latter was about to leave. “Dave, you just heard from my friend. You can now head back to your duty post. Don't return until your name is heard,” George ordered as he dismissed Dave, leaving him alone with Kelly. “What took you so long to show up? I was worried that you were never going to make it here,” George asked Kelly as they both sat down after a handshake. Kelly nodded sideways in pity. He wasn't looking happy, and George could tell that it had nothing to do with Derek. “Kelly, what's the issue? It's your daughter,
