Dexter's Laboratory And Big Bang Theory Novels & Stories

Adela had thought long and hard before finally asking the question. She liked Layson—naturally, she wanted to understand more about him. But when she saw Dexter’s stunned expression, the anxiety in her heart only grew stronger. “What’s wrong? Did something come to mind?” Dexter quickly concealed the flash of shock in his eyes. He scooped a spoonful of his herbal soup and finally replied in a low voice, “I vaguely remember something. I think I was under ten at the time, so I’m not entirely sure. But this isn’t something you should bring up in the Norman family.”

Dexter’s eyes gleamed, though Autumn’s confusion only deepened. "What are you talking about?" she said, exasperated. "This was a waste of time." Just then, the door swung open, and Derek stepped in. "Oh, he's here," Dexter said with a grin. "We can ask him directly." He looked between Autumn and Derek, an air of satisfaction in his gaze. "Did you grant Charlie a Specter Visa?" Dexter asked, watching Derek’s face carefully. Derek froze, his eyes widening as he scrambled to respond. "What’s that?" he stammered, though his voice wavered slightly.

I watch him warily, and my eyes flick to the crowbar set up against the wall. All instincts tell me to run for it, and I would have, but a newfound fear as well as desire to protect the little pups growing inside me stops me from making any move. Dexter moves to the box. He opens it, then pulls out a photograph of two people in it. From the distance, I couldn't tell who they are, until Dex lifted it and showed me. I squint my eyes to see the photograph better, but when I did I looked back at Dex.
