As the sounds of "jingle bells" were heard on the eve of Christmas, the tears of all who loved Flynn also filled the place. It was a heart wrenching funeral leaving all who attended in tears. Lacey, Flynn's younger sister couldn't believe that her beloved brother was no more. She blamed herself for Flynn's death."I asked him to go back. He wanted to buy a land and farm with it to live a peaceful and quiet life but I asked him to go back to the woman he loved." Lacey cried.Sonia couldn't hold back her tears as Lacey's cry filed the place. She closed Lacey in a warm embrace consoling her but Lacey wouldn't listen as she continued crying.Everyone in their sober state watched as Flynn's coffin was lowered into the grave."I'm sorry for the loss," Dexter heard someone say.He turned around and saw Sandy. He wasn't expecting to see her at Flynn's funeral but he was grateful all the same that she had come around."Thank you," Dexter replied.Mrs Stannins was with Ivy who was sitting on a
Upon arriving home, Dexter walked Sonia and Lacey to Sonia's room. He ensured they rested before leaving to his room. The following morning would be Christmas which would be one of the worst Christmas he'll ever have. Returning to his room, he fell on his bed his eyes looking towards the ceiling. With everything that has been happening within the Richmond's empire, his fear only increased. The thought of everyone he worked with betraying him, hit him hard like a tonne of bricks. He didn't know whom to trust anymore. First it was Beautrice stealing the D-VEX drive from his office and now it was Sarah taking sides with the people who had killed Beautrice. If not for Flynn no one would have been able to find out who really killed Beautrice. While he was in his deep thoughts, his phone rang and it was Sandy calling. He was surprised to see Sandy calling. He noticed he had been receiving calls from Sandy quite often but that was not a problem. He could only wonder why Sandy had decided
Sandy arrived at Dexter's place only to meet the chief of police and some other police officers at the mansion. From the look of things, it appeared as though something bad had happened around the mansion. "What's going on here?" She asked Sonia who ignored her question. Sonia had never liked Sandy and seeing her at the mansion uninvited and in the middle of such chaos raised up questions within her but she just ignored and brushed past her. "Dexter had been kidnapped," the chief replied in Sonia's place. Sandy wasn't really surprised. She already knew who was behind it from the phone call she had answered earlier. "When did you notice he was kidnapped?" Sandy asked. "Just this evening. He wasn't the only one who was kidnapped. Someone else was taken too," the chief replied. "Who?" Sandy asked but the chief wasn't able to reply her before a fellow officer called his attention to something. Richard too had come. Hearing that Dexter had been kidnapped came as a surprise to
Sandy arrived at home to meet her parents laughing. It was unusual to see them just laughing without anyone cracking a joke or something on television. She could tell that they were up to something again but chose to ignore them and just go straight to her room. Richard's and Sonia's accusatory remarks were still playing on her head and she just wanted to go to her room and sleep over them. She blamed herself for being a coward and not saying the truth that her parents could be involved in Dexter's disappearance. "Where are you coming from?" Priscilla inquired, seeing that Sandy was just walking past them without saying a word. "I'm tired mom, I need to rest." Sandy said and left to get room. "What's wrong with her?" Raphael asked. "Who knows?" Priscilla shrugged. The news popped up and as they watched, they couldn't cease to laugh as the headlines were all about Dexter's sudden disappearance and his request to drop the charges against Jack and Alex. "Dexter doesn't know what h
"My name is Mr. Blaq," the stranger said, his accent subtly hinting at his Indian heritage. Priscilla tried to place the name, but it eluded her. She thought she had probably seen him somewhere before but every effort to recall where or when proved futile."Who's there?" Raphael called out, noticing Priscilla hadn't returned. He approached to see who was at the door."Mr. Blaq!" Raphael exclaimed, recognizing the man immediately.Priscilla was taken aback that Raphael knew this mysterious figure while she had no clue."Come in," Raphael invited, gesturing for Mr. Blaq to enter."When did you arrive from India?" Raphael asked."I got in just last night," Mr. Blaq replied."How was your flight?" Raphael inquired."It was fine. The boss sends his greetings," Mr. Blaq said, settling into the conversation.Priscilla couldn't help but wonder what her husband was up to again. In all their schemes, never had he mentioned the name 'Mr Blaq' and then he shows up all of a sudden from nowhere.Th
The day after Christmas, Stephanie quickly informed the chief that Ivy had finally regained her memories. The chief, delighted by the news, left the police station immediately upon receiving Stephanie's message.With the holidays causing a backlog of closed cases, the approval for Jack's release had also come through. Notably, Dexter's lawyer revealed that Dexter himself had asked them to drop the charges against Jack and Alex. This strongly suggested that Dexter's disappearance was orchestrated by someone intimately familiar with both Jack and Alex. The chief's suspicions narrowed to one individual: James Richmond.Upon arriving at the Stannins apartment, he was greeted by Ivy who recognised him as "chief" enough to convince him that her memories had truly returned."Hello, chief," Ivy greeted."Hello Ivy, it's nice to have you back." The chief said. He was really happy to know that Ivy was recovering very fast. He knew it wouldn't be long before she begins to move without her wheelc
Stephanie couldn't have been more surprised than she became when Ivy suddenly asked about her father. She wished Ivy hadn't asked because she never wanted to remember it. It was such a painful memory and she really never wanted to visit that timeline in her life ever again. "Mom, did I say something wrong?" Ivy asked seeing how emotional her mother had become all of a sudden because of her question. "No Ivy, you didn't," Stephanie replied trying to brace herself for that which she was about to reveal to Ivy. For sixteen years, she had kept the truth about the death of her husband Charles from Ivy but seeing her raise the question that afternoon, she knew it was time to tell her the truth. "Your dad died on the same day as Dexter's father. He was assassinated by some cruel political thugs." Stephanie said, her voice betraying her as she tried to hold back the tears that tried finding their way down her cheeks. "He was the speaker to the governor of Malibu district. He found out
"I told you she'll not agree to our request," Stephanie said her eyes meeting with the chief's. "We would still go ahead with pressing charges and hope to see if we can win in court," the chief replied. Steering the conversation back to Dexter, Stephanie inquired if there were any leads to his whereabouts as well as those who were responsible for his disappearance. None yet, but we suspect James Richmond." Stephanie wasn't surprised that the chief was considering Dexter's uncle as a suspect. His relationship with Dexter was enough to raise concerns and suspect him. "What of Jack? Has he been released?" Stephanie inquired. "He'll be released today according to Dexter's order. This is more reason why I strongly believe that James is responsible for Dexter's disappearance," Stephanie replied. Ivy was lost in thought pondering over the possibility of the Waynes being involved in Dexter's disappearance too. She had a strong hunch that the Waynes could be involved and it would
