My eyes widened and my jaw just literally dropped the moment I heard those words from my childhood friend right this instant. He knew… all this time! How come he knew what I have been up to these past few months?
I was literally speechless for like a couple of seconds before I came up with the words "H-how come?"
Dexter sighs an exasperated one, like he is tired of hearing my questions already. But I have the right to ask him all about this, right?
"Look, I really wanted to answer all of your questions right now… but for now can we please concentrate on the part first where we need to get you out of here as safely as possible?"
I stared at him intently, trying to assess the situation here. If what he is saying right now is indeed right, then I really don't have the choice here but to trust this guy now.
"Alright. I think I could work on that," I responded after a few moments of silence.
