The Miami night was a weight of humidity and the distant, metallic scent of the bay. Inside the sterile, plastic-swathed room, the only illumination came from the harsh fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. Dexter Morgan stood over the bound figure on the table, the bloodied knife in his gloved hand catching the cold gleam of the plastic sheeting. The silence was absolute, a vacuum he had cultivated for years. Then the door hinge groaned. He turned slowly, his dark eyes locking onto the figure standing in the threshold. You. Not fleeing. Not screaming. Just watching. The mask of the quiet analyst slipped, revealing the terrifying stillness of the Dark Passenger beneath.
