Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 426

"Really? You can tell just from that?" Robin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Just trying what you're having there. You've already had a bite, so you must know if it's sweet or not," Stella teased with a bubbly laugh.

Robin paused for a moment, his ears turning red. Stella had somehow managed to flirt with him...

"Bran, can't watch this anymore, toss me an apple, will ya?" Bran couldn't stand it any longer and asked Colin for something to munch on.

But Colin was too busy for that.

He was diligently taking a bite out of each piece of food to make sure it was okay before handing it over.

"Lovebirds..." Bran rolled his eyes and threw a piece of his sandwich at Finn, who was sipping on a milkshake while biting into a sandwich. "Hey, get me something to eat."

Finn glanced at Bran and casually tossed him a piece of the sandwich.

Bran raised an eyebrow. "Considering you just saved my hide, I'll pull you up first."

Finn looked at Bran with disdain. Is this what high school's like now? "Hurry up, don't miss your SATs."

The mention of SATs darkened Bran's face. "Hmph..."

After they had eaten, Bran threw down a rope and helped Finn climb up.

Fortunately, with some athletic training, Finn managed to climb up smoothly.

Robin was quick to follow.

After they were up, we made sure to pull Annora up first.

"Phoebe, you're next," Colin said, gesturing for me to climb.

I didn't argue and wrapped the rope around my wrist to climb up.

"You're quite agile," Finn remarked teasingly.

I looked back at Colin.

He was getting into it with Dexter, both of them on the verge of a fight.

"Are you guys coming or what?" I asked. "The control room on the twelfth floor is on the thirteenth. We're only temporarily out of our pursuers' grasp. If they find us, we're stuck here."

Colin understood and tossed the rope to Dexter.
