    Chapter Three
    Several days had passed since Carmen’s car was vandalized and not a word from Carol Avery; neither good nor bad. Dexter and Carmen weren’t sure what that meant but hoped they wouldn’t be bothered by her again. Maybe she had finally gotten the message after all.
    The couple was working hard to rise above Dexter’s infidelity, though it was difficult for Carmen despite her deep love for him. She tried exceptionally hard to suppress the image in her head of Dexter and Carol making love but was finding it utterly impossible. She was unsure she could ever erase the painful feeling she experienced each time she imagined the two of them together. She simply didn’t know how to handle the distrust she now felt for Dexter. She often rode to his place of work to be sure he was there and to make sure that Carol Avery wasn’t. She would never understand how he could put their happiness in such jeopardy.
    Business    was    booming    at    Jack’s
    Mechanics; Dexter could hardly keep up with the extra work orders. He’d been working non-stop since he arrived this morning. He hadn’t even stopped for a break. Lunch was just around the corner and he was definitely looking forward to it. Carmen was meeting him at the park for a picnic.
    Dexter went to the front desk to get the work order next in line. An unsuspecting glance out the window caused him to become agitated. Carol Avery was circling the front lot. This could only mean trouble, he thought. He went outside to confront her.
    “What are you doing here Carol? If you continue to harass me, I’ll be forced to swear out a restraining order against you. Do you really want to push me to that?”
    “I’m not harassing you; I simply need my breaks fixed. I didn’t come here to see you at all.” She insisted.
    Dexter wasn’t falling for it. Carol was here only to get under his skin. He tried to reason with her.
    “There’s another shop two blocks down. Why don’t you take your car there? I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring it here.”
    “I don’t care what you think Dexter. You don’t own this shop; you can’t turn me away. I haven’t done anything wrong.”
    “Whatever.” he said turning to walk away.
    Twelve o’clock finally arrived and Dexter wasted no time clocking out. He was ready for a little R and R with Carmen. He rushed out the door and headed for his truck. His pace slowed to a near halt as he realized Carol was waiting for him.
    “What do you want? I thought you were here to get your breaks repaired. Why are you leaning against my truck?”
    “I need to tell you something. I’m pregnant; it’s yours. We’re having a baby. Aren’t you happy?” she asked as if she expected a joyful response.
    “No, I’m not happy and I don’t believe
    you. That isn’t funny. You’ll stop at nothing will you?”
    “It’s true Dexter; I’m having your baby. What do you intend to do about it? You’re going to be a father. I’m carrying your baby inside me.”
    “I don’t have time for this. I have to go. Get off my truck.” he said revving the motor.
    Carol wouldn’t be put off that easily. She jumped in her car and followed after him. Dexter spotted her in his rear view mirror. Carmen was waiting for him at the park. The news of Carol’s pregnancy was sure to be upsetting. What had he gotten himself into? This woman was an absolute nut case; one that wouldn’t go away.
    The screeching of tires grabbed Carmen’s attention; it was Dexter. What was wrong with him? She quickly realized why he was in such a hurry. Carol Avery slid into the parking lot behind him.
    “I need  to  talk to you. Come with me,
    hurry.” Dexter said taking Carmen by the arm.
    “What’s going on Dexter?
