Chapter 39
Ardi was worried. She couldn't and wouldn't believe that Clarice was capable of murder. Ardi sat in her office in Quantico trying to understand the reports she had been given from France. There were no doubts, the police was sure that it was Clarice M. Starling whom had taken up Lecter copycatting. Ardi refused to believe it.
She looked through the report again and again. It just couldn't be. They had been best friends, Ardi knew Clarice. But it still worried her. FBI had asked her to take the case; somehow they thought it best that it was someone who knew her. Ardi had only been too willing to do it, she wanted to prove that it couldn't be Clarice. Apparently it was also what the FBI hoped for, the scandal it would bring if it were Clarice would not be pleasant.
Ardi had to go to France, though it was certain that Clarice wouldn't be there. Ardi had received all Clarice's belongings, so she was on the move. Ardi hoped it was because of Lecter that she wanted to get out of Paris. Ardi hadn't looked through all the things that had arrived, but perhaps now was a good time to do so; it might give some leads as to where she is now. Ardi hoped like she had never hoped before....
