Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 404

As he motioned to his crew to grab me, Colin's icy gaze locked onto James, a barely restrained fury simmering in his eyes.

He gradually let go of my hand.

Staring down James, I shoved aside anyone in my way and began to approach him.

James, panicking with his bleeding leg, started to back away. "What do you think you're doing? Why are you standing there, grab her!"

"We're the masterminds behind this game. If you want to make it out alive, it's all about who listens," I said with a smirk, eyeing his cronies, planning to give them a taste of their own medicine. "Follow my lead, and I can get us out. Stick with him, and death is all you'll find."

The group exchanged wary glances and took a step back.

Fear had taken hold.

James glared at me, furious. "Foebe, what do you think you're... Don't listen to her. She won't get us out. We're all targets for that lunatic. She's just playing games."

"You talk too much," I retorted, kicking him in the stomach and sending him to the ground before stepping hard on his injured leg. "Killing you now would be letting you off too easy."

The sound of a moving door caught our attention as Zoe appeared to be unconscious in Bran's arms, with Robin following close behind.

Annora rushed over, concerned for Zoe. "Is she alright?"

Bran shook his head. "Just a bit shaken up, nothing serious."

Tears welled up in Annora's eyes. "Thank you, thank you so much."

Without a word, Bran handed Zoe over to Annora.

Stella looked over at Robin anxiously. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Robin, surprised, replied, "You guys got out before us? I was about to head back in after you."

Stella sheepishly gestured towards me and Colin. "We ran into Colin."

Robin nodded in understanding. "Ah, that explains it."

Just as the stone wall began to close, I kicked James into the gap, his cries of desperation echoing as the gap sealed shut.

"Does he really deserve to escape with us?" I asked coldly.

Finn looked away. "I didn't see anything... What just happened?"
