Morris sat inside his car while he watched Conrald storm out of Lecter's company. He could see the look of anger and disgust that was on Conrald's face and in that moment, Morris decided that such anger was something that he could utilize. He watched as Conrald got into the car and zoomed off.Just as he was about to follow, Morris's phone began to ring. He kissed his teeth as he picked us up the phone."Hey! Morris, where are you?" His friend asked over the phone . The same friend that was going to kill Lecter during his party. Morris could still remember the dream he had, how lucid they were. He wanted it all to play out that way and there was no room for fuck ups."I'm working," Morris replied to him. He could see Conrald's car getting away through the rear mirror."Why don't you cut yourself some slack, Morris? I've already told you that I Will take care of this Lecter problem for you. You are bothering yourself over nothing," the friend, Willy said to Morris."Lecter James is a v
Morris Thorn, pulled up to the curb in his sleek sedan, nodding to the waiting Conrald. Conrald's car had broken down, and he stormed out of the place over anger with his recent dealings with Lecter."Hop in, Mr Conrald. I'll give you a ride home." Morris had quickly looked up Conrald on the internet.Conrald, a middle-aged businessman with a reputation for ruthless dealings, smiled and slid into the passenger seat. "Thanks, stranger. I appreciate it. And you are?" Conrald asked."Morris Thorn. CEO of Thorn incorporated,""Ah. Nice,"As they drove through the city, they discussed a recent partnership, a lucrative venture that had Morris's company providing tech services to another's empire. Morris was proud of the agreement, but Conrald's condescending tone made him feel like a junior partner.As they approached Conrald's estate, Morris's unease grew. The imposing gates and high walls surrounding the property seemed to loom over him. He had never been comfortable with displays of weal
Morris and Willy pushed open the doors, stepping into the dimly lit brothel. The air was thick with the scent of perfume and smoke. Willy nudged Morris."Come on, Morris! Pick a girl for the night. You need to unwind."Morris hesitated as his eyes scanned the room. The women were beautiful, but he felt a pang of unease. "I don't know, Willy. This isn't really my thing."Willy laughed. "Nonsense! You're a man, aren't you? You need to indulge in the pleasures of life. Besides, I've heard great things about this place."Morris shook his head, feeling a sense of discomfort. "I don't know, Willy. I think I'll pass."But Willy was insistent, dragging Morris deeper into the brothel. The women smiled and beckoned, while their bodies danced enticingly. Morris felt his resolve weakening, his mind clouded by the temptation."Willy, I don't know if this is a good idea," Morris said, his voice barely above a whisper.Willy clapped him on the back. "Come on, Morris! Live a little. You only live once
Business men and women Stepped into the Hall of events that Lecter was using for the renewal party. There were so many of them, and the extravagance that Lecter displayed was top notch. He didn't want any expenses spared." This has got to be the grandest party that we've ever hosted, even more grand than our wedding," Anna said to Lecter as she stood by his side. He smiled at some guests and then proceeded to kiss her on the forehead"Only the best for you my love. Let this signify our new beginning. We have been through a lot but somehow, our love came out stronger. It's worth celebrating," Lecter said to her."And then there's the issue with Lenore." Anna sighed. "She is complicated. What if she causes a scene here?" Anna asked Lecter"Lenore will not do anything. She knows better than to cross me. Besides, this party is by invite and I didn't give her an invitation card," Lecter replied to her."She is carrying your child Lecter. Women tend to become bold when pregnant, especially
Detective Bruce had decided to take care of Cathrine first before he proceeded to do the brawl with Lecter. Finding out who tried to poison him at the party was a juicy thing but Bruce needed to close Venita's case as quickly as possible. His past and the secrets it held depended on it. Bruce brought Cathrine to the police station and proceeded straight to the interrogation.Bruce's eyes narrowed as he leaned forward, his voice was firm but controlled. "Cathrine, we have evidence. Don't lie to me. Were you involved in the attempted kidnapping of Anna James?"Cathrine's eyes flashed with defiance. "I don't know what you're talking about."Bruce sighed as his patience began wearing thin. "Don't play dumb, Cathrine. We have witnesses, records. You were at the scene. You were involved."Cathrine's mask began to crack, her voice trembling. "I didn't want to...I was just in a tough spot..."Bruce's eyes locked onto hers. "What happened, Cathrine? Who dragged you into this?"Cathrine's eyes
Willy's eyes blazed with fury as he confronted the waitress in the dimly lit alley. "You were supposed to take care of Lecter, not serve him a latte with a smile!"The waitress, her eyes flashing with defiance, stood her ground. "I couldn't do it, Willy. I couldn't go through with it. He refused the drink. What was I supposed to do?"Willy's voice rose in anger. "You couldn't do it? You're the one who begged for this job, who promised to see it through. And now you're telling me you couldn't even slip a little poison into his drink?""I did! He refused to take it and someone else drank it and died! It's not my fault""Then whose fault is it? Have you forgotten your place?"The waitress's eyes welled up with tears. "I know, Willy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the way I spoke. It's not me,"Willy's laughter was cold, mocking. "Not you? You're a disgrace to our organization. You're a failure. Do you know how much we had riding on this? Do you know how much you've screwed up?"The waitress'
Alaric's eyes scanned the grounds of Lecter's estate, his mind racing with the task at hand. He had been ordered to increase security, to make sure that no one could get close enough to harm Lecter again. And he intended to do just that.He began by deploying more guards around the perimeter of the estate, men who were handpicked for their loyalty and skill. He stationed them at every entrance, every corner, every vulnerable point. He wanted to make sure that no one could slip through the cracks.Next, he turned his attention to the technology. He upgraded the cameras, the alarms, the motion detectors. He wanted to know every move that was made on the estate, every breath that was taken. He wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.He also increased the security protocols for anyone entering the estate. He installed metal detectors, scanners, and checkpoints. He wanted to know who was coming and going, and what they were bringing with them.As the days passed, the estate was transfor
Willy's eyes darted around the room, his mind racing with panic. He knew Lecter was closing in on him, and he had to act fast. He couldn't let Lecter catch up to him, not now, not ever."Winston, I need you to book a plane ticket for me," Willy said, his voice low and urgent.Winston, his loyal assistant, looked up from his computer screen. "Where are you headed, sir?"Willy hesitated, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for an escape route. "Anywhere but here," he said finally. "Just get me out of the country, Winston. I don't care where."Winston's expression was neutral, but Willy could sense the curiosity behind his eyes. "Very well, sir," he said, his fingers flying across the keyboard. "What's your preferred destination?"Willy's mind raced as he thought of all the places he could go. He couldn't go back to his usual haunts, not now that Lecter was on his tail. He needed somewhere new, somewhere safe."Brazil," he said finally. "Book me a ticket to Rio de Janeiro."Winsto
