Clarice opens the door to her office and is pleased with the arrangement of
her belongings; she thought to herself "I am glad I got this done last
night." She looked at her answering machine sitting on the top right hand
corner of her desk the red light was flashing she swallowed hard and pushed
the button. "Clarice? I would like to see you in my office ASAP." Clarice
closes her eyes and walks to the elevator and goes to the third floor. She
walks 5 doors down the long hallway and knocks on the door. Campbell is
doing paper work as she enters, "you wanted to see me sir?" "yes Clarice
have a seat." She sits down and watches Campbell waiting for him to speak
again. "I have a small case for you to work on, just to keep yourself
occupied for the time being since there really is no case for this
department right now." He hands the paperwork to Clarice and she begins
flipping through it. "Does the mug shot look familiar?" "Sir" "Now now
Clarice dont get excited I am going to need your feet on the ground for
this case. He was seen last Sunday in an airport leaving for..can you guess
where?" "No sir I cannot." She stops flipping through the paper work and
lays it on his desk. Campbell leans over his desk and looks at her with a
sincere look. "Now Clarice we both know better than that. He was heading to
an airport just 45 minuets from here. I have had men there all week
watching for him to return just incase he decides to flee again, nobody has
seen him since. But that is where you come in." Clarice begins to get
nervous and hears only half of what her superior is saying. "You are to try
and find Hannibal before somebody gets hurt, I have no doubt he is coming
after you, and you're the only one that could get any answers out of him.
He must feel for you." Clarice stands up, takes the paper work of of his
desk and says "I will do my best sir." "I hope so Starling, go home early
study the case file and I will see you 2 weeks from now when you come back
from your vacation. Have fun..." Clarice smiles and walks out of the
office. How could this happen, Isn't being confused enough? She walks into
her office and stares at all the articles on her wall. "Why are you causing
me so much grief? Can't you just leave me alone?" The phone on her desk
begins ringing and she picks it up. "Hello?" Clarice hears nothing but
slight breathing in the phone she ignores the call and hangs up.
Clarice walks out to her car and opens the door. Out of the corner of her
eye she sees somebody watching her from behind the corner of the building.
Her heart starts pounding as she jumps into her car and drives toward her
house. Clarices pulls up and notices a strange car in her driveway, she
parks her car behind the strange one and walks up to her door with her gun
in hand. She opened the door and hears lovely music playing, it was coming
from the dining room. She walks in and sees a man she doesn't recognize
from behind and screams "Freeze FBI!" The man turns slowly and smiles.
"Hello Clarice"
