“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

As Kelly was about to step outside to return the missed calls, George called him back. "Hold on a sec. Before you leave, I have a question for you. I demand an honest answer because I know you too well. You might wanna beat around the bush. Have you spoken to Ciara since she left last night?""Really? This was the question you wanted to ask me. And you made me wait? Are we gonna do this now? Where's that coming from?" Kelly dodged the question. He was infuriated that George had to ask such a question in the presence of everyone. Kelly would have preferred if the question was asked when the two of them were alone. "Just answer the damn question. I see no reason you are getting yourself worked up. It's not, really, no big deal. A yes or no would do,"George spoke again. Not even Kelly's refusal to speak would stop him from trying to satisfy his curiosity."Sorry to disappoint you, I can't answer that." Kelly hissed and walked away without providing the answers that George seek"Oops.

“Hi, Ciara. I missed your calls. How are you doing over there? Have you had dinner already? What do you wanna talk to me about?” Kelly asked Ciara over the phone. He was already having divided attention and could barely concentrate on the telephone conversation. He might be having a conversation with Ciara, but his soul was inside the ward. He was eager to find out what nurse Olivia wanted to discuss. To Kelly, it was more important than speaking with Ciara over the phone. “Dad, are you doing great over there? Who's there with you? Are you still in the hospital?” Ciara asked relentlessly over the phone after she observed how restless Kelly sounded. That wasn't what the Father knew. He spoke as though he had a gun pointed toward his head, forcing him to speak. “What do you mean if I was doing great? How can you ask me such a question? Of course, I am doing great. Don't I sound perfect to you? How else do you want me to speak to you?” Kelly lied. He feigned a baritone voice to pr

"Dad, it's Derek Cooper. Your friend's son. Remember him now? You, too, had a conversation in the hospital last night. He was even the one that introduced himself to you as a Cooper until his elder brother, Dexter kicked him out of the hospital,” Ciara finally made the shocking revelation after beating around the bush for a long time. “Derek, did what? What did I just hear? Holy Moly! You have got to be kidding me right now.” Kelly screamed his lungs out until his eyes suddenly turned red as though he wanted to cry. His scream caught the attention of other nurses who directed their gaze at him. Taking the phone off his ear, Kelly smiled at the nurses and told them. “Sorry about that. I was having a telephone conversation,” Kelly further took a few steps away from the nurses to concentrate on the telephone conversation. He was also trying to evade any impending questions. “Dad, are you there? Who were you talking to over the phone?” Ciara asked her Father. For a second, she t

“Argh! This is quite disgusting for me. I can't deal with it.” Ciara raged and smashed the glass cup she was holding against the wall. She dashed to the dining room and cried her eyes out after seeing how empty it was.“To think I already prepared dinner for my dad, believing that he would show up. This was gonna supposed to be a surprise. But I guess I was wrong. He didn't just show up, he spoke to me disdainfully over the phone as though I weren't his daughter.” Ciara muttered succinctly as hot tears streamed down her eyes. She had the urge to throw away the food she had prepared, into the trash can. However, a voice spoke in her head, telling her to stop, and she obeyed immediately.Ciara also considered the stress she had to go through trying to prepare the meal. There was no way she was going to let her efforts be in vain.“I guess I need to microwave the food. We are going to eat it some other time. I can't let waste just like that.” Ciara said to herself, wiped her tears, and

“By the time my Father gets here, you all are going to pay for this. You folks don't know who you're dealing with. I will make sure you rot in jail for treating me this way,” Regardless of his condition, Dexter threatened Officer Lucas from his cell after the latter visited him.“Oops, I'm scared for my life. I have got to run and hide for my safety right now. Daddy's boy is going to hurt me,” Officer Lucas mocked Dexter with the rest of the officers who accompanied him to Dexter's cell. “Oh, don't you dare make fun of me? That wasn't funny. I was just stating that fact. And for your information, I am not a Daddy's boy. For crying out loud, I am a mature man,” Dexter cried his eyes out. He gave them a thousand reasons to believe that he was a perfect gentleman. Rather than believing him, Officer Lucas continued to taunt Dexter.“No man in his right senses, would hit a lady the way you did. That was the dumbest shit I've witnessed in my entire life. Whosoever does that is nothing bu

“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,
