Ardelia was on her way to the hotel Clarice spoke of. There she would find the rest of her instructions. Can I really do this? I just don't know. I know that the FBI has done some terrible things. I know I can trust her, but what about that monster? She trusts him, b…but I just can't. Come on Ardelia you know this is the only chance your friend has. Dr. Lecter could help her. Or maybe I could help her without helping him. This plan involves me calling the FBI as soon as I get there. They are going to search the place and show indication Clarice and Dr. Lecter were there. From there, I should be making some speech about how they must be nearby. All this while Clarice and Dr. Lecter are driving safely away to the nearest airport out of state. The plan is simple, but they depend on me to get them out. What if I can't do this? Clarice, girl, you put me in a tight fix. She pulled up to the parking lot and walked inside. She flashed her badge to the desk clerk and told her she needed a room key to investigate room 319.

"Ma'am I need to get to room 319 immediately."

"Yes, of course."

They headed to the elevator and approached the room. Ardelia took the room key and told her to call the police. By the time they get here I will have gotten everything I need. Ardelia opened the door. The room was a mess. It was supposed to show signs of a struggle. She saw a note beside the bed and went to open it.

Dear Ardelia,

This is the "crime scene" the proof that we went to the house is underneath the bed. It is the landlord's card with his number on it. Ardelia thank you for everything you have done for me.

Starling

Ardelia waited for the cops and told them what happened. The FBI showed shortly after. Ardelia done what she was told and planned on addressing this matter to her superiors later. She walked out of the room and back to the FBI office. Starling I am sorry but I don't think I can do this. This cannot be you can it?

On the Road

Dr. Lecter drove while Clarice sat in the passenger's seat. Both were heading to their new freedom. Clarice looked down at Hannibal's hand placed on the armrest. She brought hers to his and held his hand tightly.

"Something wrong, dear?"

"I am still worried.""Don't be we will be out of here soon, and we will spend the rest of our lives together."Clarice looked at him this time, "I'd like that."

He smiled at her. They drove on, and neither knew the dangers that would come from Ardelia's final decision.
