Evelyn is the only thing I own!
Chapter 2: The Curator and the Hangman's Descendant
Evelyn listened to the arguments of the Questera...Sogliato apparently wants the job for his nephew from the observations made by Evelyn. After the arguments, Evelyn started to wonder where Dr. Lecter was and so she turned around and saw Dr. Lecter, which of course gave her a start.
"Did I frighten you Evelyn?" he asked
"Kind of, mainly you just surprised me! So on the fourteenth you will lecture on Dante to the Studiolo?"
"Yes and not to mention I get to look after the library, for a stipend of course!"
Evelyn giggled and then she noticed a look in his eyes that was directed not towards her but someone over her shoulder...
Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi of the Questera was walking towards them, Evelyn knew that would happen, well of course she knew she had read the novels and watched the movies prior. Evelyn could see the whole future and she knew she would have to use this knowledge to save lives...and in some cases to destroy lives as well.
While Pazzi and Dr. Lecter talked, Evelyn looked out the window and saw the Palaazo Vecchio and she suddenly heard a man scream and she looked at the balcony...a man was hanging there...his intestines were on the ground below...Evelyn recognized the man to be Inspector Pazzi. She whirled around and saw Pazzi still talking to Dr. Lecter still alive and no noose around his neck. Evelyn realized that now in this new life she could see past the present and into the future. This was both disconcerting and pleasing to Evelyn.
She wondered if there was some cryptic meaning to dying and going into another life, in fact what was the crux of it anyway? Why could she just not have died and been able to live her life and pursue her initial career choice of becoming a writer? These questions really puzzled Evelyn, but she knew that God had a reason so she would help the good doctor anyway she could. She turned around and walked over to where Pazzi had been standing and looked at Dr. Lecter inquisitively.
"Well then, what do we do next, doctor?" she seemed curious
"Honestly, I would like to eat something! I'm STARVING!" he put emphasis on the last word in a jokeful manner.
"Alright, mister cave man let's go!" both laughed at the remark
Dr. Lecter was enjoying Evelyn's company immensely and he really was looking forward to getting to know her much better than he already did.
