"What is the problem?" Freeman asked from the other side of the phone. Alex walked into his office in order to avoid the preying eyes of the cops in the station. For someone as paranoid as he was, he was not so certain that he could trust anyone."Do you remember that cop Bruce? He just came to me asking that I release those men in our custody. I don't like the agreement but he is threatening to expose me if I do not" Alex said to Freeman."Fuck! That cop is not working on his own." Freeman replied with a groan."How do you mean?" Alex asked, settling himself into a chair. His fingers grazed on some of the documents on the table before his eyes settled on his laptop."It's Lecter James! My boss. I can bet all that I have that he is involved in this somehow." Freeman replied."I thought you said that you would be able to get your boss to cooperate? Why is he acting loose?" He asked Freeman who scoffed."Like anyone could get Lecter to do what he doesn't want to do. I may have overestim
"What do you mean the men you sent are dead? What the fuck does that even mean?" Freeman barked at the other side of the phone while Alex paced around the room with worry written all over his face."I'm certain it's that man that Lecter sent to my office. I should have known that he was suspicious. That bloody man broke into my office and gave me a scare. How can a man just break into my office and waltz out of here with prisoners in my custody? What was I even thinking?' Alex yelled at himself and kicked the chair in his office."Pull yourself together, Alex. At this point, you will expose yourself even further. We have to assume that Lecter James already know who we are-""But he couldn't possibly know, right? I made sure to cover our tracks very well. We didn't even use any of our men to get to those fuckers. So, I think we are safe," Alex said and then Freeman laughed."You stupid boy. You don't know who you're dealing with, do you? Lecter James will stop at nothing to ensure he k
Lecter drove to the Saints and Sweets grand restaurant which had only a select few patrons due to the expensive nature of it. For Lecter, he paid over s hundred thousand dollars to secure a spot in the restaurant that night for his dinner with Anna."This is a grand place. What are we doing here? What's the occasion?" Anna asked as they stepped out of the car. Lecter chuckled while he went to assist her. She would never let him get the door for her."We do not need to have an occasion before I take you on a beautiful treat. Tonight is all about us my love. I have been so preoccupied with everything that I had forgotten that I have a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. So, I thought of doing something like this just to make you happy," Lecter said to her and Anna giggled."You are the best man any woman could ever ask for. Thank you so much Lecter. Let's have a blast of a night," she said to him while they walked inside.As soon as they settled in, Lecter ensured he took the seat tha
Lecter stepped outside and found a woman standing there, holding a green purse. She smiled at him but Lecter was not intrigued by her smiles.As soon as he approached, the woman rattled through her purse and took out a means of identification."Who are you?" Lecter asked her and she handed the ID over to him. He took it, checked it and gazed at the woman again. "You work for Rex incorporated?" He asked her ."Yes, Mr James. I do. I am a supervising manager at Rex incorporated. My name is Lena, and I am glad to have made your acquaintance," she said to him and he then gave her the ID."What do you want?" Lecter questioned."I want to know whether you have looked into those files that I sent to you earlier," she said to him and Lecter frowned."What files?" He asked her and she scoffed."Oh, Mr James. I think we both know what we're talking about here. I am the one who has been in secret correspondence with you regarding Rex Incorporated. I've been sending you those files and those ema
"Mr James, the CEO of Rex Incorporated is here to see you sir," the secretary announced to Lecter and he raised his head to meet with hers. Lecter gave her a nod."Send him in," he responded and she smiled."Very well sir," she said and then walked out of hr office. Lecter stood up, paced around the room and focused his gaze on the streets through the window as Rex stepped into the office."Lecter James. I hope I did not come to you in a bad time," he said to Lecter who just chuckled."Not at all, Rex. Sit," Lecter replied and Rex took his seat. He smiled at Lecter while watching his every move.Lecter at the same time studied Rex like a hawk."So, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Lecter asked him and Rex proceeded to drop a contract on his table. "This is the hard copy of the contract deed that we are to sign. I decided to bring them here by myself so that you would see the confidence and faith that I have on you. If you could just sign this contract now and we will get it over with
"He knows uncle Mike. He fucking knows!" Rex yelled over the phone while he spoke with his Uncle. He had not expected the meeting with Lecter to go that sour and while it did so, he could feel his compulsions returning.Rex had been trying so hard to control his anger issues but when Lecter refused to sign, he felt everything snap."Calm down, Rex. You are the freaking CEO of this company. Pull yourself together and act like one," he said to Rex who just crashed into a chair and sighed."You tried to go against me and see where it has led you. You cannot go against me, Rex. I am wiser and more experienced than you are. Don't you think that I would have gotten all the information that I need by now?" Mike questioned."I don't even know who I can trust anymore. As far as I can tell, you are one of those trying to do me harm. You never liked that I became CEO, did you?" Rex asked him. Mike laughed while Rex poured himself a drink."This is ridiculous. You are my nephew. Your father's wea
It's been six days since the incident with Rex occured at Lecter's office. All throughout this time, Rex has been quite, but Lecter knew better than to ever underestimate his foes. So, as Lecter stepped down from his new edition Mercedes-Benz car in front of an orphanage, he tried to keep his mind on the game. He was a very important guest for the event tonight and he had to behave as such."Mr James, welcome to Bell's orphanage. We are so pleased to have you with us today," a beautiful young lady said to him while Lecter smiled in return."This is a nice place you have here. The children must be so happy," Lecter opined while he took a look at the orphanage. The young lady's expression immediately went sour but she still managed to keep a smiling face."Not quite, Mr James. The orphanage is crashing fast. That is why we organized this fund raiser party tonight to appeal to benefactors." She said to him. Lecter arched a brow."What's happening with the orphanage?" He questioned her.
"Did you see who it was?" Bruce asked Lecter as the police circled the event center. The bullet that was meant for Lecter had killed someone else, and due to that, all guests were being reviewed to ensure that the killer was not among them."No. It all happened so fast. I couldn't get a closer look at the shooter," Lecter said to Bruce. Bruce sighed as he gazed at Lecter."Mr James, I know you saw something. You're like of those superheroes in movies. Tell me what you saw and we can work together to ensure that the culprit is brought to justice," he said to Lecter who just kept gazing at him."What about the CCTV cameras? Have you done a sweep yet?" Lecter asked Bruce."The cameras came back clean. Apparently, this person managed to escape the cameras to try and kill someone in this building. Which begs the question, Mr James, were you the intended target?" Bruce questioned."How would I know? I'm not the cop here. You tell me," Lecter replied."Don't you want to work with me? Because
