Irresistible

Summery: The one man in the world that she should never love is the man that she loves most in the world. Clarice wonders about Dr. Lecter.

Clarice Starling sat in what she liked to call her "dungeon" thinking of him. Wondering of his whereabouts.

Last time she had seen him was in the kitchen of Paul Krendler's holiday home by the river. The words that kept floating around her mind where

"Tell me Clarice, would you ever say to me "Stop. If you loved me, you'd stop"

The truth was she did love him, the one man in the world that she shouldn't love was the person she loved the most. The reason she had handcuffed him there with her at the fridge was so he couldn't leave her and disappear like he had done ten years before. It hadn't been so the police could come and take him away like he thought she'd done it for.

All his pictures were still hung up on the walls so she could feel like he was watching her. She wished she was with him. Watching over him, like she felt he was always doing.

A thought occurred to her. "What if it took him another ten years to get back in contact with her?" She couldn't bare the agony again, her first idea was to go out and find him but she knew she'd be watched in case she knew of his whereabouts.

She couldn't do that to him.

But knowing Dr. Lecter as she did he was probably in a refined country where he could appreciate good art, wine and food. Paris was her first thought but it would be silly to assume he'd travel to a place so close to where he had hidden before.

Europe would not be his destination.

Maybe he wouldn't have gone to a refined country maybe he'd done the complete opposite and gone somewhere noisy and bold. No one would expect him to go to a place like that. It would be an insult to his refined taste. But he was smart. She and the rest of the F.B.I would never be able to interpret his next move.

She sighed and leaned back in her chair.

"It's been more than thirty seconds I've thought about you today" she smiled.

AN: So this is the end...or is it? please tell me if you think i should add more or just leave it there. At the end of the day i'm doing this for you!
