Clarice looked at him up on the walkway above the pig pin. Mason began speaking again when he was sure she had nothing to say.
"This morning I sent out a letter to our Doctor under the name he gave you, A.A. Aaron. Although it would not surprise me if Pazzi told him. My men did tell me he was in quite a rush to get out of that building."
Clarice took this chance to speak, "Your wasting your time."
"For your sake Starling lets hope not."
Damn I know he will come for me. I hate this, this feeling of being so helpless and used.
Clarice was being dragged to the walkway above as well. She was forced to stand by him. Carlo holding her tight. One man crawled up above and waited with a rifle. The other sards waited bellow. Clarice turned to Mason as much as Carlo would allow and said, "Mason, you will get what you deserve by the end of today."
"Really? That confident in him? You are going to watch as I feed him to the pigs."
"Bastard."
"He should be arriving soon. One of my men spotted a car heading this way."
Cordell entered the room and stood behind Mason and to the right of Clarice and Carlo.
"I am not to late for the entertainment I hope," said Cordell.
"Not at all," replied Mason.
Dr. Lecter waited outside the barn. He knew there was no need to try and be sneaky about his approach. One wrong move and Clarice would end up dead. Clarice I promise you will come out of this alive. He opened the wide door and stepped in, gun at the ready.
"Dr. Lecter, finally."
"Mason."
"See Doemling I told you he would come."
"So it would seem," said Doemling a little shocked to see him come for her.
The first sard came from behind the gate. Dr. Lecter knew this instantly and turned with his harpy, side stepped, then cut the sard's throat. The two in front came for him. He spun again with his gun this time and shot them both in the chest. Unfortunately the three men distracted Dr. Lecter long enough for the man in the top to lock on to Lecter with his rifle and pull the trigger. Lecter managed to move just enough to where it got him in the shoulder. He turned back and fired at him. The sard was dead. Now he was wounded and more of Mason's men came forth.
"Impressive Dr. Lecter. Truly, but now that we have you bleeding I am sure the pigs would love to have you now. Mason turned to look at Carlo. Carlo smiled and pulled out his knife to Clarice's cheek and made a deep cut.
"Cry for him. Scream out for him to save you."
Clarice cringed but said nothing.
Dr. Lecter was furious but did not want to use the gun for fear of hitting Clarice. He gripped his wound to try to keep the blood from flowing as much.
"Don't say anything, give him nothing my Warrior!"
Clarice looked at him eyes ablaze with devotion to him, "I was never going to." She gave him a smile.
He smiled back.
Clarice then leaned her head forward and head butted Carlo, and she reached down to take his key. Carlo staggered and she rammed him off the walkway. Cordell ran over to her with a knife in his hand. But Dr. Lecter was able to fire this time without risk of hitting Clarice. Cordell fell to his knees. Dr. Doemling and Mason were trapped now. Clarice freed herself from the handcuffs and picked up the knife.
"All of you get away from Dr. Lecter now. Mason is the one who controls your money. And if you want to see him alive you will back away from him!"
Please tell me what you think thus far.
