Dexter’s brow furrowed in a manner that suggested regret for speaking out of turn. It seemed he feared dragging Melody into a mess. “Sorry, that’s a private issue. It’s not something I can share.”

Robin remained silent while Dexter continued.
“She’s willful and I’ll give her that. Once we find her, I’ll make sure she learns her lesson. But any misdirection in your investigation is on Officer Robin, right?” Dexter queried with a loaded
gaze.
