Well, here's the second and last chapter for Lost. Sorry for the long wait and the short chapters (and story).

Chapter two:

When Ardelia returned from work the next day, she was different. Instead of comforting Clarice who sat in the same chair by the window as the day before, crying, she just asked what she was so sad about. Clarice looked at her.

"What?" she said.

"I asked you what you're crying for," Ardelia answered "Haven't you watched the news?"

"No. Why should I?"

"Well, there might be something that interests you there," Ardelia said with a smile "You see, the infamous Hannibal 'the cannibal' Lecter escaped last night. Entire DC is turned upside down looking for him."

Clarice's heart almost stopped for a second. "What!" she screamed. "He's out? But how.when.I've got to find him!"

"You know, last night he mentioned something about wanting to go to Paris, so I took the liberty of ordering some tickets for him."

"You knew about it? You helped him? Oh, I love you Ardelia," Clarice said as she got up from the chair and ran over to Ardelia to give her a hug.

"If you love me so much, then maybe you want to stay here with me instead of using the flight ticket that I ordered for you too yesterday," Ardelia teased.

"Oh my God. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Well, now that you've first bought it, I might as well use it."

"I thought so too. Your plane leaves tomorrow morning so you better get upstairs and pack."

Clarice gave Ardelia another big hug before she run upstairs to do as she had suggested.

The next day she was on the plane to Paris. She couldn't believe that she was finally going back to Hannibal. She couldn't wait to see him again. The flight seemed to last forever. Finally, the passengers were asked to put on their seatbelts as they were about to land.

When Clarice had finally gotten of the plane and was waiting for her luggage, she was so busy looking for Hannibal who, according to Ardelia, was going to meet her on the airport, that she didn't see before it had went past her and it was too crowded to run after it, so she had to wait until it came back on the next round. But after three rounds it still hadn't come back and Clarice started to wonder if someone else had taken the wrong suitcase.

Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She quickly turned around and saw Hannibal.

"Looking for this?" he said and held up her suitcase.

"Hannibal!" She said and threw her arms around him.

"I guess that means that you are as happy to see me as I am to see you," he murmured into her ear.

"Oh, Hannibal. I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too, my dear. Let's get home now. You must be tired after your travel."

"I'm not very tired, but I wouldn't mind going to bed," she said.

He just laughed a little as they started to walk towards the parking lot.

After driving for about an hour, they arrived at a beautiful big house in the outside of the city. Clarice loved it. They got inside and Clarice discovered that it was even more beautiful on the inside. The first thing they did was to go to bed, where they spent most of the afternoon. In the evening, Hannibal made them some food which was much better than the one Clarice had gotten on the plane. After they had eaten they went back to bed where they spent the rest of the night making love.

Nine months later, Clarice gave birth to a daughter. They called her Mischa. She looked most like her mother, but had her father's maroon eyes.

After a while, the police found out that Ardelia had helped Hannibal in his escape. When Hannibal and Clarice found out about this through the FBI's website, they invited Ardelia to come and stay with them. She didn't have to thing twice.

The police and the FBI never saw any of them again.

The end.
