Chapter ten

Ardi had to return to work, so Clarice had the house for her self, it was time to make a decision on what she should do about Nanoon. He really was a pain in the ass, but is he worth the trouble? Hmmm it would be fun, and I should get more fun out of life. Hmmm I know what fun I would like, so why don't start there in stead? Yes, but there is a lot of heat on him, so I have to lure him out, and if he indeed are in France, it should be easy, simply credit his work, soon it enough he would have to put a stop to it.

Clarice got out of her chair and went to her room to pack. But how will he stop me? Will he kill me? Will he give me another chance to rethink me answer... I don't think he is high on second chances Clarice. But that kiss. It burns, would it not be better to be dead then live with the memory of a kiss that burns so much.

So Dr. Lecter it's time for a game, my game. And the stakes are high...

When Ardi got home, Clarice's bags in the hall met her. Ardi walked into the kitchen. Surprise to find Clarice there. "Are you going somewhere Clarice" Ardi knew it was an oblivious question, yet she wanted to ask. "it's time to go home, I have been here long enough" "So are you going back to Paris?" " That's home to me, maybe you'll visit me?" it was an invitation, yet Clarice knew it would be the last time they saw one another, what they had once share was long gone, separated by time, and foremost by choices made. "Yes that would be nice." Ardi wanted to warn her; she was worried about her, what if Lecter was in Paris. "Clarice" Ardi didn't know what to say. "Clarice, please reconsider that, what if he is there?" the look from Clarice silenced her. "Ardi, if he was there, he would have found me a long time ago, and he didn't. I have not been living in hiding, and Ardi if he wanted to find me, he would have, a long time ago." It was a conclusion and with that there was a knock on the door.

"That would be the cap driver, it's time to go. Give me a call sometime." Clarice hugged Ardi, and on her way out the door, the final good bye. "Give me best to Steve and Mary"

Clarice sat on the plane thinking how she should lure Dr. Lecter out.

A/N well I hope I will get it started and have some action for you. And don't worry it would seem Clarice have a mind of her own as to when she will get to see the good doctor.
