Chapter Five

Dex shook his head at the memory of the conversation he’d had earlier with his mother. Even now he couldn’t believe he’d had her unwavering belief and support all along. When he’d told her he was actually an undercover cop and not a drug dealing thug, he’d expected relief and support. What he hadn’t expected is her declaration that she’d never believed he was the criminal he pretended to be.

“How could you possibly have known?” He’d asked her, filled with skepticism.

“A mother just knows. I’ve always known your heart and you might be strong and tough, but your heart is filled with good, not bad.” She’d patted his chest as she admitted she’d always known he was a good guy despite his Oscar worthy acting performances. “I am proud of you son, I always have been. Please, be careful.”

He swallowed hard at the memory, and the look of emphatic support in her eyes as she’d left the room. His sisters had a similar reaction. Even his mother’s fiancé, a guy he barely knew, had declared he’d known there was something off with the appearance of Dex being a drug dealer while he was obviously a good guy at heart.

“So much for being undercover.” He mumbled to himself and shifted in the seat of the cheapest, most dilapidated rental car he could find. Actually, it wasn’t technically a rental car, it was the personal vehicle of the college-aged kid who worked the counter at the rental car desk. Dex had talked him into renting his own vehicle to him instead of one of the slick convertibles available from the company. Now he was parked down the block from a house that looked like any other house in Mimosa Key. Only someone who was looking to buy narcotics, or a trained undercover cop, would be able to spot the subtle differences between this house and the average one down the block. A few quiet questions asked of the nosy woman behind the counter at the convenience store known as the Super Min, had led Dex directly here. Word at the resort was, if you wanted to know about something in Mimosa Key, the Super Min was the place to ask. After watching the house for less than an hour and seeing no fewer than a dozen visitors come in empty handed, but leave with a hand in their pocket, he knew he had found the right place. If all of those things hadn’t added up, his nose had told him he was on target. The only question waiting to be answered was were these guys connected to his guys? Time would tell.

His mind wandered yet again, thinking back to his time with Amelia. His sister delivering his phone had been a lifesaver in the literal sense, but what he wouldn’t have given to spend several more hours in that bed with the sexy redhead…

He owed her an explanation. Actually he owed her a lot more than that. Deep inside he wondered if he was capable of giving her even a fraction of what she deserved, of what he owed her.
