Banking On Dexter As The Messiah

 Kelly was mad at Dexter for nearly damaging his eardrum and trying to snatch the phone. However, Kelly didn't react because he knew Dexter only wanted to speak to his father. It would have been better if he had asked nicely.

Turning his back against Kelly, Dexter spoke over the phone. “I just heard you say my father is there with you. Can you be kind enough to pass the phone to him? I must have a conversation with him this minute,” 

No voice was heard over the phone even though the call was still on.

“Ciara, are you deaf?

You did hear me, didn't you? I just told you I need to speak to my father. Why are you not saying anything?” Dexter sparked outrageously.

 Not even the pressure from his voice was enough to make Ciara speak up. She pretended as though she weren't on the phone with anyone.

“Why is your daughter not speaking to me? Has she suddenly gone deaf?” Dexter channeled his frustration at Kelly, who didn't even offend him for a second. 

“Like seriously?

You are going to get mad at me for what my daughter did to you? Gosh! You are so despicable,” Kelly nodded in response and sat down on the sofa.

Dexter became infuriated. As he made a move to cause a conflict between himself and Kelly, he heard a ferocious voice over the phone, forcing him to abolish his dangerous agenda toward Kelly. 

“Dad, are you speaking?” Dexter asked. The voice sounded too deep to be Ciara's

“Were you going to hurt my friend? How did you turn out to become a beast?” George questioned Dexter as he went straight to the point. 

“I don't know what you're talking about, Dad. You are not here with me. How would you know if I wanted to hurt him?” Dexter denied it immediately without having to think about his response. 

George sighed over the phone. “Dexter, I am your father. I know a lot about you that you are not even aware of, so don't you dare lie to me,”

“Like seriously, Dad. 

Are we going to do this right now? I know you don't trust me. So what's the point of telling you the truth? You are not going to believe me anyway,”

“Suit yourself, son. 

I am not interested In what you have to say in your defense,” George made a move to change the topic immediately. He knew for sure that arguing with Dexter wasn't going to yield any positive result. 

“I believe my excellent friend, Kelly, told you something, didn't you?” George started the main discourse. 

Kelly licked his lips and smiled at Kelly. This was the moment he's been waiting for. “Yes, he did.”

“And why haven't you shown up yet? I can't believe you will be this calm after being told that I suffered a panic attack”.

“That's because I got my conditions. You don't expect me to just show up at the hospital, do you?” Dexter laughed. 

“Is this a prank? 

Why am I even asking? Of course, it's a joke. I don't want to believe you are being serious with me right now,”

“Dad!” Dexter interrupted George with a commanding tone. This time, he stopped laughing and decided to get serious. 

“If you want me to come over to take you to the hospital and sign the stupid consent form, then you must unfreeze my bank and return every damn thing you took from me because I refused to get married to Ciara,” Dexter demanded. 

“You are sick. 

Pass the phone to my friend. I need to speak with him,” George ordered. He wasn't even paying attention to Dexter's outrageous demand. 

“I am not passing the phone to anyone,” Dexter blatantly refused. 

“Are you even listening to me right now? Because it's damn obvious that you are not.” 

“Of course, I heard you the first time, you son of a bitch. There's no way I'm accepting your demand,” George clarified it. 

“Then you should as well get ready to be kicked out of the hospital for good because there's no way I'm gonna show up there and put my signature on some useless consent form,” Dexter vowed. 

 Out of frustration, he ended the call and tossed the phone on the couch. Luckily for Kelly, the phone didn't sustain any damage. 

Kelly didn't get mad at Dexter for tossing his phone on the sofa. Rather, he was grateful that his phone didn't suffer any damage. 

As Kelly picked up the phone, the first call he received came from George. This time, George ensured that he called personally because he was certain that Kelly was going to answer the phone. 

 "Are you still with him?” George asked. He sounded so calm, as though he were ready to meet the demands of Dexter. 

“Yes. He's currently getting drenched in liquor,” Kelly answered. 

"Kindly pass the phone to him. 

I've got something to say to him,' George begged. His voice sounded so low. Kelly could barely hear what he was talking about. 

“Pass the phone to whom?

Sorry, I may have to decline.

He almost smashed my phone against the wall the last time I passed the phone to him. I might not be lucky this time,”

“Kelly, please do this for me.

Just for old-time's sake. I am Dexter's father and can boldly say Dexter is a big jerk. Do I have a choice? Of course not! The doctor is threatening to kick me out. If you do think I'm lying, call your daughter and ask her,” George buttressed. 

Kelly witnessed another version of his friend. If it wasn't for the voice, Kelly would have argued that George wasn't the one speaking. 

“Fine! I will pass the phone to him.

But if he doesn't respond to me, I will walk away from your house and never return. This is not even a joke. I meant every damn word I said. Do we have a deal?” Kelly issued the last warning to George. 

It wasn't his intention to put George in that complicated situation. However, Dexter has stepped on his toes a thousand times, hence unlocking his bad side.

“We have a deal,”

Without grudges, George accepted Kelly's demand.
