Dexter’s eyes blazed with a fury so intense it seemed he might truly be capable of murder.

Pushing him away with all my might, I gasped for breath and snarled at Dexter, “What right do you have to say any of this? Weren’t you the one who got her killed? Wasn’t it you who sent her to distract that murderer? If she hadn’t died, would you have even let her have the baby?”

“Yes!” Dexter’s fist slammed into the trash can behind me.

A couple of dumpster divers started to approach, looking for salvage, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.

“Do you believe in souls?” he asked with a bitter laugh.
