I do not own The Silence of the Lambs or any of the characters, but I do own Kelsey Black.

Story start

The next day I woke up very happy. Today was the weekend and I did not have to work. Someone else took over my shifts on the weekend. "Well now that I have no work today, what should I do?" I thought as I walked around my house in my underwear. I slept in my underwear, so I always walked around my house in them when I just wake up.

I turned on the television and frowned when I heard that Buffalo Bill has kidnapped another woman. "Hopefully someone will stop him," I thought as I fixed myself a cup of coffee. Coffee was a wonderful thing. Decaf however was not that great. I know some people really like decaf, but I have to have caffeine in the morning or I will be a zombie the rest of the day. I being a zombie am not a pretty sight whatsoever.

Anyways, I think I might go shopping today. I haven't went into town in I don't know how long. Also I finally washed my work coat last night, so it no longer has a certain body fluid on it anymore. I hate washing clothes, but it is a must on my to-do list. Well enough about how much I dread washing clothes, I need to go get ready to hit the town. I hope the town can handle me, it probably can't.

I ran upstairs and pulled on a pair of old blue jeans that had holes in the knees and on the thighs. I slipped on some black flip-flops. I also put on a black tank top and then I put a white long sleeve shirt over it. The long sleeve shirt had rips and slashes all over it so it looked like I had let a really big cat or bear have fun with my shirt. The long sleeve shirt also hung off my left shoulder. I smiled and put on a black leather choker with a cameo on it.

I pulled part of my hair up and clipped it back with a black metal hair clip. I put on some black eye-liner and a little bit of mascara, and I also put on some lip-gloss. "I'm ready to go," I thought as I did a small turn around in front of the mirror. I grabbed my wallet and car keys and left and locked my house after I turned everything off. I did not need my power bill to go up anymore. Even with my raise coming, I did not want a high power bill.

Jumping into my car was always so much fun, so I did it today. I turned the radio on to a fun techno station and I pulled out of my driveway and drove down the street. A lot of people gave me weird and strange looks as I drove by them. I even saw one old lady flip me the bird, which in turn made me bust out laughing uncontrollably. "I guess she hates techno," I said as I pulled into the mall parking lot.

It was not the biggest mall in the world, but it was still a mall so it would do. I turned off my car once it was parked and I hopped out. I saw some guys in the parking lot looking me up and down but I just ignored them. They were about four years younger than me. Yes, I know that I look the same age as them or even younger, but that is just because I age well. When I was turning eighteen years old, I had some kid tell me I looked the same age as him which was fifteen years old.

It came in handy to age well, but it had its awkward moments. For example, when younger guys or even girls hit on you, it's awkward. Yes, I've had girls hit on me before. It's not a big deal to me. I turn them down nicely telling them that I'm not that way, and eventually we would end up friends. However since I've moved here, I no longer have them as friends because it is hard to keep friendships going over such a far distance, well it is hard for me to keep them up. It might be easier for other people to have long-distance friends, but it's too hard for me.

Anyways, I walked into the mall and was at once disgusted by some of the rude actions and displays by some of the people in the mall. "Maybe I should have stayed home in my nice warm bed," I thought with a disgruntled expression on my face. "No, no, now pull yourself together Kelsey, you have to get some new clothes and lingerie," I thought as I shook my head.

I saw my favorite lingerie store up ahead and I quickly headed there. I like shopping for underwear, so what. My best friend use to always call me a weirdo, but I just ignored her and threw underwear on her one day while shopping. She never called me a weirdo for shopping for underwear a lot ever again. Oh how those were such good times, but I must not think about that. I must concentrate on my mission for underwear.

The lingerie sales person in the store did the whole usual greet and can I help you thing, but I just waved her away. I needed no help, but there did look to be a young teen girl who needed help so I told the woman to help the girl. I found the lace bras and underwear and I was instantly in heaven.

Alright, I'll spare you the details of what all I bought, but let's just say I'm very happy with my purchases. Want to know a secret? I actually blushed as I bought what I thought Dr. Lecter might like to see me in. Yes, I know I'm a horrible pervert sometimes, but that man is seriously in my head more than I let on. I sighed and shook my head.

"Let's just go get a new dress shirt and a jacket before I think even more embarrassing thoughts," I thought as I headed into a nice looking shop. The sales person helped me find the dress shirts. I thanked her and picked up a nice red shirt with black lace around the flared cuffs. The shirt had small black buttons. I smiled and find a nice black jacket to match it. The jacket even had a red rose stitched as a pattern on one of the cuffs of the jacket.

I paid for my purchases and headed out to my car. Thankfully those younger guys from earlier were nowhere in sight. "Thank god, I did not want to deal with no minors today," I thought as I got in my car. I placed my purchases in the passenger seat and I locked my car doors. I never felt totally safe when I was alone in town. I wished that I had someone like Dr. Lecter with me, but sadly I did not see that happening anytime soon.

I sighed and pulled out of the parking lot. Instead of listening to techno music on the drive home, I decided to listen to some heavy metal music. Even the same old lady flipping me off did not make me laugh as thoughts of Dr. Lecter ran through my head. I know I should not be thinking such wishful thoughts of us being together as friends or more. I wish that he was not in that cell, but I know that society would not accept him to walk around freely. Sure he was a cannibal, but that did not mean that he wished to eat every human being on the planet. From what I've discovered, he only kills and eats from the ones who are extremely rude.

While caught in my thoughts, I ended up speeding home. It was a miracle or just good fortune that I was never caught by the police. I parked my car and grabbed my purchases. I locked my car and entered my house. I locked the house door behind me. My answering machine was flashing a lot more than it should have been. "I don't even want to check it, but I know I have to," I said sadly.

I hesitantly pressed the button and closed my eyes. Dr. Chilton's voice was the first thing I heard and I growled. "Kelsey, get to work right away. I know it is your day off, but I need you here now," Dr. Chilton said.

I growled and threw my bags of purchases onto my kitchen counter. I put on my clean work coat and listened to the next message. "Kelsey hurry. We need you here now," Barney's voice said. I growled again before storming out of my house and locking the door. I got in my car and drove off to my work. "What the hell is going on?" I thought as I blasted heavy metal music again.

I arrived at work and saw a large steel van parked in front of the building. "What the hell is going on?" I whispered as I ran into the building after locking my car. Barney let out a relieved sigh when he saw me. "I thought you would not make it in time," Barney said. "In time for what exactly," I asked as I was rushed to the hallway where Dr. Lecter was kept. I saw strong looking men standing in front of his cell. Dr. Chilton was also standing there. "Finally you arrived, Kelsey," he said when he saw me step into the hallway.

"What is so important that I had to rush over here on my day off?" I asked with a glare as I walked over to Dr. Chilton. He sighed and rubbed his temples. "You've missed a lot of things Kelsey," Dr. Lecter said. I looked into his cell and he was smirking. I gave him a confused look and then turned my look to Dr. Chilton. "What have I missed?" I asked.

Dr. Chilton sighed and said, "We are transporting Lecter to Tennessee to talk with the Senator whose daughter was kidnapped by Buffalo Bill. You will be going with him as well Kelsey." I shook my head and said, "Couldn't you have told me this on the message you left on my answering machine, that way I would have time to pack some clothes." Dr. Chilton sighed and said, "Sorry, now hurry home and pack some stuff and then hurry back here as soon as you can."

I nodded and ran out to my car. I was not a very pleased woman right now, but I guess I'll have to deal with it. I rushed home and packed a small bag of clothes, toiletries, and underwear. I rushed back to work and saw them putting a strapped down and muzzled Dr. Lecter into the steel truck. Dr. Chilton motioned for me to enter the back of the truck with Lecter and I sighed before jumping into the back. Thankfully there was a bench with a seatbelt in the back that I could sit on. I sat down right across from Lecter.

I could tell he was giving me a smile through that muzzle on his face. "Well this sounds like fun, doesn't it Kelsey?' he said to me. I gave a small sigh and said, "Let's hope there will be some fun. I was having a pretty nice day until I had to see Dr. Chilton's ugly mug." Dr. Lecter laughed and I gave a small smile. I enjoyed hearing him laugh.

"So what do they want you to talk with the Senator about?" I asked curiously as I relaxed as much as I could in my seat. Dr. Lecter smiled and said, "Well I'll guess you will see when I speak with her." I shook my head and let out a laugh. "Aright, Dr. Lecter I will see what you have in store when we arrive in Tennessee," I said and he smiled. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the steel behind me.

I could feel Dr. Lecter's eyes roaming over my body and then resting on my face. I thought about saying to him but I remained silent and kept my eyes closed. It felt nice to have Dr. Lecter so close to me and giving me attention. "Now if only he wasn't strapped down," I thought sadly and I slowly opened my eyes. "What's wrong Kelsey?" Dr. Lecter asked me in a whisper when he saw my frown. I shook my head and whispered, "I wish you were not strapped down and confined like this."

I stared into his eyes and he gave me a surprised look before smiling. "But I have done horrible things, why would you want me to be free?" he asked. I sighed and said, "You have only done horrible things to people who deserved it, therefore I think you should be free because you have done this world a favor by ridding it of some of its rude and horrible people." Dr. Lecter nodded the best he could and smiled at me.

"You truly are an interesting woman," he whispered giving me what I thought was close to caring. I felt a small blush appear on my cheeks, but that quickly went away when we arrived at the airport and the back doors were opened by the strong men from earlier. I stepped out first and then they got Dr. Lecter out. They wheeled Dr. Lecter up into the plane first. I followed second afterwards. I sat down in a seat close to Dr. Lecter and he smiled at me before anyone noticed.

Dr. Chilton sat in the seat beside me and I resisted the urge to gag or hurt him. Dr. Chilton and Dr. Lecter glared at each other and I knew this would be a long flight. I wanted to go to sleep, but I did not trust Dr. Chilton at all. Therefore I was not going to fall asleep and put myself in a vulnerable position.

I sighed and looked out the window as we took off. Hopefully this flight would be over with soon. I do not know how long I can put up with a glaring contest between Lecter and Chilton. I do think Dr. Lecter would win though. I gave a mental laugh as I imagined Dr. Lecter standing on top of a loser Chilton who was lying on the floor bawling because he lost. Alright, so I can have some mean thoughts every now and then, everyone does unless they are a saint or an angel. I'm neither of those.
