Clarice drove home in a daze. She couldn't quiet register what had happened back at the office. From the car behind her she was unknowingly being watched by Dr. Hannibal Lecter who had witnessed the whole ordeal. What a day to choose to follow Clarice. He thought with a slight smile. He looked at her face in her rear view mirror. She was saying something. Maybe singing again my dear Clarice?. He though with a soft chuckle.
Look at me twice with wildcat eyes
Promise me everything except a blue night
Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass
Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past
And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers
He slammed on his brakes nearly avoiding the tail end of Clarice's car. He stared at himself in the side mirror for a few seconds.
Tantamount to a lie
with lingering breath
Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left
Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice
A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist
With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
His mouth burst open with the Elton John lyrics. He hadn't heard the song in some time and hadn't enjoyed it. It certainly fits the situation. He thought to himself. He opened his mouth widely, his small white teeth glaring. This time nothing came out except for a deep, finally released breath. A few loud horn honks sounded behind his vehicle, urging him to move. He started u the engine of the truck once again and began to drive, still loosely following Clarice. After about a mile or so the song flared up again.
And whisper in a rhythm your lies
Keep comfort for others
Hurt me with the night
Whisper like cold winds close to the bone
Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone
With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
He watched as Clarice's black mustang pulled in to the driveway of her duplex. Making it sure he wasn't seen he drove a little further down the road to a duplex, owned by someone he had recently made an excellent dinner out of. He emerged form his truck an hour later, spitting out the last taste of the music.
