   Summary

   All work and no play makes Dexter a dull boy.
   Or
   When Dexter's pesky job gets in the way of his real calling.

   Excerpt:
   ''Every time I think tonights the night, its ruined with a ‘Dexter we need you to stay for a last minute round up meeting’, or ‘Dexter I need that report ready nine-am-on-the-dot-on-my-desk-tomorrow-no-excuses’, and the moment passes. Have these people never had to quell an unrelenting murderous dark urge before?''

   Set pre-series. (Written as Original Sin was being released, so not 100% compliant with that.)
