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
Mike drove recklessly to Lena's house and as soon as the car parked outside of her house, he stepped down and muttered some curse words to himself. Mike looked around the street that night, the neighborhood was serene, the air was heavy. It was a perfect night for a murder."Alright, let's do this," Mike told the assassin who stepped down as well. He too surveyed the environment and brought out a silencer.Mike arched his brow at the sight of the gun."What do you think you're doing with that?" Mike questioned. The assassin turned to him with surprise in his face."I am getting ready to do the job. What else do you think?" He asked Mike who scoffed."Did I tell you that I trusted you enough to let you handle this? You already fucked up things with Lecter. Do you want to fuck this up too?" He asked while the assassin just frowned."What happened with Lecter James, sir, was a mistake that will never repeat itself again. In my line of work, such mistakes happen a lot. Maybe you should re
"We were once together. A long time ago. That was before I got a job at his brother's company. Things were pretty normal back then. He was normal. We had dreams together. Aspirations.. when our world collided, it was like we were invincible," Lena stopped while drinking from the cup of calming tea that the servant had made for her.Lecter sat down on the couch opposite to hers and standing besides him was Alaric who also listened carefully to all that was being said."Well, that was until he started to have selfish dreams that no longer involved me. He once shared with me a thought, that someday, as the black sheep of the family, he would return to claim all the wealth that his family never offered to him. I saw that as a moment of silly thoughts. Except, I was wrong." She stopped and sighed."After we broke up, I moved to the city and coincidentally, got a job at his brother's company. While we were dating, he never mentioned the name of the company, not even once. So it got to a poi
Lecter stepped out of the mansion that morning in the usual as he has been doing for seven consecutive days. He wore his health kits and jogged all the way to the outskirts of the town, around certain blocks and then made a push to return by passing through an alley."Boss, how's the run?" Alaric asked over the phone."Stamina is building. Are you in position?" Lecter asked him."Yes boss. We are waiting in the alley. All we need now is for the assassin to show up and we will kill him," Alaric said to Lecter."The assassin has showed up already, Alaric. Infact, he is following me right now as we speak," Lecter said and carefully gazed at the man who had been tailing him for a very long time. The man, like Lecter had disguised to be a runner.Lecter smirked as he kept jogging. The assassination had no idea what awaited him."What do you want us to do now boss? Should we come to you?" Alaric asked but Lecter rocked his head in the negative although Alaric couldn't see it."No. Stay put.
The doorbell to Zhang's mansion rang and the security man by the gate rushed to see who it was. When the man saw the black SUV at the gate, he frowned."State your business," the security man said to Kevin who was driving. At the back of the car was Lecter and Alaric, and sitting with Kevin at the front of the car was Bone."We're here to see the boss. Zhang. Let us pass," Kevin said to the security man who instantly composed himself on seeing Kevin."Oh, it's you? You should have told me the moment you got here. I was beginning to employ protocols on you," the security man joked."Admit it, you've always wanted to do that," Kevin said to him. Then, the security man gazed at the rest of the persons inside the car with a frown."I've never seen them before though," he said to Kevin."They are with me and they're important guests of the boss. Do you wish to keep me waiting here?" Kevin questioned."I just have to follow protocols. The boss said he's not in the mood for guests. That is w
Kevin drove back to the mansion in awe of what he just witnessed. It was still morning at that time, and as he parked the car, Kevin just exhaled.Without saying another word to him, Bone and Alaric stepped out of the car. They went inside while Lecter dropped as well and Kevin followed him closely."So, what do you want me to do now?" He asked Lecter who kept a poker face."What do you want to do?" Lecter asked him. Kevin shrugged his shoulders."I don't really know. It seems like you are asking me to change everything that I have ever been. Killing people has always been what I'm good at. That may be funny but it's true." Kevin said and a servant opened the door to the main building."Did I tell you to do otherwise? You're only changing motivation. There comes a time in life when you must defend yourself against those that wish to do you harm. What I'm giving you, Kevin, is a new purpose," Lecter said to him."I don't know if I can function here. I mean, take a look at Alaric and Bo
"I need to see you. When can we meet?" Kevin said to Mike over the phone. Mike chuckled as he received the call, a tone of amusement in his voice."Kevin. I never thought that I'd hear from you again. I saw what happened with your boss, Zhang. Where are you?" He asked Kevin who sighed."I'm currently somewhere in Lecter James' mansion. He thinks that he can trust me. I even believe that he has recruited me as one of his men," Kevin said to Mike who gasped with excitement. Mike quickly got up from the chair he was sitting on and started pacing around."You found your way into Lecter James house? How did you do it?" He questioned."In case you haven't noticed, I'm a very good assassin sir. Yes, I had to sacrifice Zhang to get this far, but it is totally worth it," Kevin responded."Sacrifice Zhang how? Don't tell me you led Lecter James to his House?" Mike exclaimed."I was made! It was the only way to ensure that the plan continues. We still want to kill Lecter James, right?" Kevin ask
