Chapter 42
It had begun to rain when Hannibal pulled over to a gas station. "Would you mind driving for a while?" He got out of the car and walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for Clarice?
Clarice shook her head and took the hand he offered her. "Shouldn't we fill some gas on as well?" "No, not just yet." Clarice moved to the drives side and slide in. They where back on the road with the gray morning light sending beams of light through the tree tops.
"Do you mind if I turn the radio on?" Clarice's was already on the way to the radio switch, when Hannibal's hand closed on her's. "Why don't you let me do it." Hannibal suggested. "What afraid that you might not like my choice in music?" Clarice smiled at the thought. "By all means my dear." Hannibal retrieved his hand whit a smile on his lips.
Clarice searched through the stations until she found a station that played Classical music, when she heard the piece of music played she saw her chance to show Hannibal that she had acquired some taste in music.
"Ahh Verdi's Requiem." Clarice stopped her self from looking at Hannibal. But somehow she knew that he was smiling. There was no need to say any thing else. Clarice knew that he knew the changes she had made, how she had evolved into what she is now at this very moment in time.
The music filled the car, while Hannibal from time to time told Clarice where to turn. Clarice watched as the beautiful landscape passed her by in the car. It was then she noticed rusty, blue Fiat following them several cars behind.
Ten miles later and several turns it was still there, Clarice was certain that it was a tail. She started to wonder for how long it had been there, and she got a feeling that it had been there long enough to know who they where following and that FBI had been informed. Clarice was alarmed.
"Hannibal." He turned to look at her, and saw the alarmed look on her face. "What is it my dear?" Clarice didn't look at him. "I do believe we have a small problem." Hannibal followed her eyes in the mirror and saw several cars behind them. "Which one is it?" "The blue one. It has been there for quit a while now."
Hannibal returned his gaze to the road ahead of them. "I think they have warned their friends and are only waiting for a opportunity to go ahead with what ever plan they have come up with" Clarice spoke her mind aloud.
"Yes I think so too Clarice. What do you think we should do about it?" Clarice said nothing instead she kept her eyes on the road. Several moments had passed when she whispered. "I won't let anything or anyone get between yours and my happiness."
Clarice's eyes filled with coldness, her heart was filled with hatred. "No one." Clarice said with a stronger voice.
Hannibal felt a stab in his heart, had he made her this way? No he didn't think so, he had only taken the veil from her eyes so that she could see clearly and what she had seen had made her angry, she felt abused. He could give her what she wanted, he could give her love, and she had finally accepted it. and now, now she would kill for him, she would do anything to secure that love. As he would do for her.
"There is a forest near by, it would be a perfect place to get lost." Clarice merely nodded, and Hannibal guided her the way.
