DISCLAIMER: I don't own any characters in this story which belong to Thomas
Harris. I'm just writing fan fiction and I don't get any pay to do this so
please don't sue!
WRITER'S NOTE: Ok, this is my first attempt at a Hannibal fan fiction so I would really like to know what you think of it. Please review it and I'll write more soon. Don't be put off by the ordinary beginning of this piece, it will heat up a bit later on.(not in an R-rated way though! he he!)
The End of the Beginning
By Jane S.
Chapter 2: Homecoming
After breaking into tears, Clarice sat in the darkness of her living room for a long time, just looking up at the stars through her large window. The career she worked most of her life to build has collapsed. She disappointed everyone. Everyone who ever believed and encouraged her in her early years. Well at least all but one. She knew Dr Lecter couldn't be disappointed with her. But she doubted she was still admired by him after the little cabin incident cost him a hand…
The phone rang, snapping her out of thought. She reached to pick it up, trying to see in the moonlight. She switched on the phone and after taking a long breath answered, "Starling".
"Hello Clarice" She immediately woke up at the sound of his metallic voice. She didn't expect him to contact her only a few months after what happened. "The burou will relieve you of duties," he went on calmly, not waiting for a reply, "assign you to a tedious task perhaps…"
There was a silence as if he waited for her to reply. "So what should I do about that?" she asked, her agitation getting the better f her.
"Whatever you find… tomorrow morning…" he spoke slowly as if to test her patience.
"What will I find in the morning?" she quickly picked up on the message.
"Should never ask… spoils the surprise…" he teased her.
"Dr Lecter…" she began. Clarice didn't have time or strength for his games right now.
"Ah, ah, Clarice, I would love to stay and chat but I really got to run. Ta" The phone call ended and she put down her cell phone. Slowly she sat back down into the comfortable spot on the couch and thought things over.
Part 3 will soon be up, I'm already working on it! – Jane S.
