Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 348

"Where does that leave Phoebe?" Finn repeated the question I'd asked earlier.

If no one is innocent, what about Phoebe?

"She..." Colin's grip on my hand was trembling. "She's the key, the subject of the genetic editing experiments, the smoking gun that should be displayed in a glass case, so..."

So someone killed me.

I let out a bitter chuckle. My genes were tampered with, I was conceived, I was born—how is that my fault?

Why should I be mercilessly killed, exploited by everyone?

I struggled to break free from Colin's grasp, but he held on tight, his voice hoarse with pleading. "Phoebe..."

Every time I got upset, he'd do this. But I'd been murdered!

Was he still going to let the person behind it all off the hook?

"I will find the serial killer behind it all!" I declared, my eyes welling up with tears. "I don't care why you're protecting him; I can't let him kill everyone and then just target the so-called mastermind!"

Those lives were innocent! Even if those people were guilty, it should be the law that punishes them, not some serial killer!

Colin hung his head, his breathing shaky. He still wouldn't explain anything.

Still so stubborn...

I looked away, no longer hoping he would help me with the serial killer case.I would find out on my own.
