Lecter sat at the small table in the union center, still overtly amused by
the previous occurrences. Just as the young girl walked past his table,
her cell phone rang. She stopped to answer it.
"Pronto," the girl said in her accent. "Clarice?"
Lecter's heart skipped a beat.
"You got my letter? Great!" the girl continued. "Yeah, the flight will arrive in DC around 9:30, 10:00 PM next Tuesday, depending on how good it goes."
Silence.
"Huh? Yeah, right, what would I want a man for? What about you? Are you interested in anyone?"
Lecter listened, not quite sure what he was listening for. If this really was his Clarice the girl was talking to, he definitely wanted to know if she was available or not.
The girl laughed. "Yeah, I know how you feel. Men are worthless, unless of course you find the right one."
Silence again.
"Sure thing Clarice," the girl said. "I'll see you on Tuesday.yeah, I love you too." The girl hung the phone up. Not even two seconds after the phone conversation was completed, her phone rang again. "Pronto." the girl looked around the center, and spotted the young man she had encountered earlier. He too, was talking on a cell phone. "Leave me the hell alone Gianni!" she yelled, and pushed the "end" button on the phone. As she walked through the door of the student center, Lecter got up from his table and followed the young girl, determined to find out more about her.
"Pronto," the girl said in her accent. "Clarice?"
