Hello, you've reached Doctor Hannibal Lecter's personal number. I'm not available at the moment, but if you'll let me know the reason you are calling and how I may reach you, I will give your call the attention it deserves.

If you are calling in regards to a patient, please phone my office instead.

Thank you.

"You are now connected, sir. You may leave a message." If the operator making the connection to Hannibal's phone sounded irritated, she was. Drac still hadn't mastered direct person-to-person calling, and was very annoying about it.

"Doctor Lecter? Are you there? This is Count Dracula. I am currently at the theatre, surrounded by fruit and vegetable trays." Can you hear the shiver, there? "If you are in town for lunch or dinner, perhaps you could find a moment to meet me and we could dine on something more appropriate?"

...

"Operator? I have completed my call. Operator? OPERATOR? Hello? Hel-" there was the sound of a switchook being struck several times "-lo? Hell- - -"

Dialtone.......
