Chapter 54

“That’s a solution – leaving Wavery.” Josie clapped. Nicole hesitated. “But… my identity card is still with him. What will happen to my job and my parents if I leave? What if he finds my parents?”“Which is more important, your life or your job?” Dexter asked impatiently. Indecisive women had always irritated him. “Ignore your identity card – just tell the police that you lost yours and make a new one. Don’t worry about your parents. We are still here, and don’t forget about the police. He can’t do anything to them.”He had the natural air of a leader and was used to giving orders. Nicole nodded weakly, not daring to look at him. “I’ll leave tomorrow morning. But I haven’t told my parents about this. I don’t want them to worry about me.”Josie sighed and comforted her. “Think about that when you’re safe. Don’t let anyone know where you are going, okay?”Nicole finally calmed down and thanked them profusely.
