2.1 Timeline: life after Chesapeake at the end of the Hannibal movie and after Chesapeake
Part 1
During the kiss he heard the metal click of the handcuffs and opened his eyes to look at her while he broke the kiss. He saw a tear roll down Clarice's cheek.
He raised his left arm, her right trailing it connected by the links of the handcuffs "Now this is really interesting Clarice. But I'm really pressed for time, where are the keys?"
She didn't answer. He grabbed her arm and snapped "where is the key?"
She looked him straight in the eyes and still refused to answer.
He looked around the kitchen and spotted the meat cleaver.
"Okay" he said and picked the cleaver up and grabbed her right hand and held it down on the table under his left hand and held the cleaver at Clarice's cuffed wrist.
"Above or below the wrist?" he asked. She stared emotionless at him and still remained silent.
He raised the cleaver and locked eyes with her ones again. "Now this is really going to hurt." he said to her. Her eyes opened wide at the understanding of what he was going to do. She wanted to stop him, but was to late as he slammed the cleaver down.
She screamed and closed her eyes, bracing herself for the feeling of pain. After a few moments she realised she wasn't in pain. She didn't understand, she had heard the slam of the cleaver.she opened her eyes and saw the cleaver stuck in the table with the link of the handcuffs, he had chopped through the link. Then she scanned the kitchen to see him standing in the doorway. "You didn't really think I would cut of your hand now did you Clarice? Tsk, tsk I thought you would know by now that I can't and won't harm you in any way. Think about why I can't Clarice and try to answer the same question for yourself, because we both know you can't harm me either and that deep with in yourself you know you don't want to lock me up in a prison cell again. Think about it and be honest to yourself Clarice! Bye." And he was gone.
She was so confused. As she looked around, the kitchen began to spin and she felt weak again, the morphine kicked in again, her legs could barely hold her up. Then she heard the police cars arrive at the house and men entering the house. She wanted to call them, but she couldn't find her voice. After a few moments the stormed in the kitchen and saw Krendler.
One of the agents called immediately an ambulance but another soon found out that Krendler was already dead. Then he freed Clarice from the refrigerator. As soon as she was free, she collapsed and he could catch her just in time. "Wait" he said to the other who was calling the ambulance back that they could send a hearse instead of an ambulance.
"Let the ambulance come as well as the hearse because I think there's something wrong with her." The Ambulance and hearse arrived shortly after that. They took Clarice into the ambulance and examined her. In the ambulance Clarice regained conscious. They asked her questions and decided that they would take her to the hospital for further examination, because she was weak and her reaction rate wasn't normal. They also had seen her shoulder wound and didn't know how much blood she had lost with that, she had the signs of anaemia.
At the hospital they checked her blood and found out that she was drugged and had a serious anaemia, just as the ambulance crew thought. They admitted her and gave her an I.V for the anaemia. Meanwhile Clarice's best friend Ardelia was watching the news when the story came on. (After the academy Clarice and Ardelia went they're own way.
They worked in different departments and didn't share an apartment anymore, but they stayed very close friends. Ardelia was married and had a 3 year old child.)
"Hannibal Lecter has brutally killed Paul Krendler and has held Special Agent Starling captive and heavily drugged in Mr Krendler's summer house on the Chesapeake bay. The F.B.I found Special Agent Starling in the house, Dr Lecter was already gone. Special Agent Starling is taken to the hospital. We don't know how her condition is, but it is to believe she will be hospitalised for the night." The news went on, but Ardelia didn't hear any of it anymore. She was very concerned for her best friend and called the bureau to see in which hospital she was admitted. After she had found out, she wanted to drive to the hospital when the telephone rang. It was a nurse from the hospital to inform that Clarice was going to be fine after the medicine for her anaemia would kick in and that she was asleep now and that they would keep her informed. Clarice had asked her to call Ardelia. So she decided to stay at home and she would visit Clarice the next day. The next day Clarice was better and could leave the hospital, she could treat the rest of the anaemia with pills. Ardelia visited her that day at home, but she wasn't in the mood for visitors so didn't stay very long. She was so confused about everything that had happened at the Chesapeake that previous night. Doctor Lecter had confessed he loved her and she felt things she hadn't allowed herself to feel for the past ten years, she couldn't possibly love him back, she was a F.B.I agent and he was a serial killer, but she did feel the same way. He had made her confess those feelings to herself that night, she couldn't deny it anymore, because she knew he knew. Damn him for making her so weak and making her feel those feelings for him, but she couldn't blame him even if she wanted to, he had always been there for her, after her father died nobody had ever done that for her, not even Ardelia. He always knew the right things to say at moments she needed, yes she loved him, not as a father figure but as a man, a lover.
And now he had left her again, she was alone, she felt empty.
The days passed by slowly, the F.B.I had taken her back after they had found out that Krendler and Verger had written the so called Lecter postcard and that she didn't had anything to do with Krendler's death. But everything was different, changed after that night. They took her back but she only was allowed to do the paperwork the first months, she had to prove herself all over again, as if she was some rookie. But she didn't care anymore, she hated the job anyway, she had believed her place was there, but in reality it wasn't, she had always worked her butt of for them and what did they do for her? Nothing, absolutely nothing. She cursed herself for not realising earlier, Doctor Lecter was so right when he told her that at the Union Station.
And she just now realised it. But now it didn't matter anymore, because she was alone, had nothing, accept that lousy job. 33 years old and no husband, no children, no life. Doctor Lecter probably was far away and wouldn't want anything to do with her anymore after what she had done to him, he must hate her by now. So she focused on that lousy job it was the only thing to do, if she could only contact Doctor Lecter to tell him he was right about everything and that she loved him back.
