Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 313

"Shit..."

When our car got hit, I could still hear Robin cursing through gritted teeth.

There was a warm sensation on my face, and as I lifted my head, I caught sight of Colin's face.

He was shielding me, holding me tight, blood from his forehead trickling down his chin and dripping onto my face.

"Colin..."

He might have been out of it because of the drugs, his consciousness blurred.

"Robin, they had more people!" The voice seemed distant, Finn's anxious tone reaching my ears.

A dozen guys jumped out of the van that rammed us, and it was clear that they were gunning for Colin and me.

"Colin..." Panic set in, and I called out Colin's name with a trembling voice.

"Bang!"

The crumpled car door was yanked open with brute force, trapping Finn and Robin, leaving them unable to escape.

"What the hell did you want? You are attacking the police!" Finn yelled, fury in his voice, but our assailants were obviously not intimidated.

Colin and I were dragged out of the car, my vision blurring with the blood in my eyes.

"Colin..."

Suddenly, someone struck me from behind, a loud ringing filled my ears, and my consciousness started to slip away.

...

"Colin..."

When I came to, my head was pounding with pain. I shouted Colin's name, but couldn't make out anything in the dimness.

"Click."

Abruptly, the warehouse lights flickered on.

I saw the figure walking in.

It was Julian Langley of all people.
