I made the thoughts in bold and italicized. And I appreciate the reviews.
Doctor Lecter did not waste much time getting things together. He had a considerate amount of money in his car for emergencies. He parked about three bocks away from the airport and walked the rest of the way. He purchased the first ticket out and left for the US. Doctor Lecter is usually calm, but in this case, there is a hint of anger and sadness behind his eyes. He has Clarice. Mason, you have gone too far this time. He better not have harmed her. Please stay safe, Warrior.
Dr. Lecter retreated to his memory palace and back to Verger's Estate for the rest of the flight.
Verger Farm
Clarice Starling awoke in the darkness. It was always cold and she was kept in what looked like, stall. She was tied against a post that stood in the center and her shoes had been removed. She leans forward trying to see how tight the ropes are against her upper body. She already knew that Krendler was in on this and so was Mason. However, she was confused of why they took such good care of her. They fed her and kept her safe, for now. She did have a cut across her arm from her first attempt at escape when they brought her over here. The door creaked and one of the sards entered the room. It was the one she had struggled with during her attempt at escape, he had a swollen eye and broken nose. She didn't speak to him but he approached her none the less.
"Agent Starling. You see what you did to me you little bitch."
Not a word on Starling's end.
"Playing the silent one?"
He approached her with a knife in hand. But they were both interrupted by a large muscular man entering the room, Barney.
"That's enough, there is no reason to harm her. Remember what Mason said? She gets hurt now you don't get the money."
The sard looked at Barney then back to Clarice.
"You lucked out, bitch."
He walked off and shut the door behind him. Now only Barney and Clarice remained.
"How are you feeling today?"
Starling did not mind replying the Barney, because even he expressed how much he did not want to be involved. But unfortunately he is in too deep to stop now.
"Fine I guess."
"Look I don't like this any better than you do. I am pretty much in the same position as you. Verger doesn't trust me much at all, and I can't even leave the property."
"Why does he want me here? Why do all this?"
"Don't tell me you don't have at least an idea."
Starling's eyes dropped to the floor, "Dr. Lecter?"
Barney sighed, "Yes. He thinks you and Dr. Lecter have a connection and that he will come for you. Tomorrow evening is when Mason plans on killing Doctor Lecter. When he gets here to save you."
Kill Doctor Lecter? That bastard. He is just using me to hurt him, through me. That is his plan? Shit.
"What makes him so sure he will come to get me."
"He seems confident. I am sorry Clarice."
"Barney why did you help them?"
Barney looked down at the floor ashamed he would put these people in this situation. Barney really does feel guilt at this point for endangering his…should he say it? Friends.
"I will try the best I can to make it safe for you, but I am out of here by tomorrow morning. I am sorry."
"Fine. Goodbye Barney."
Barney just nodded his head and left. He could understand why Clarice was irritated at him. Barney had to stay in the mansion with Verger. He didn't like being here, but he was finally getting his money and planned on leaving tomorrow morning. Barney walked a long way back to the mansion. Cordell was waiting at the front door with an envelope. His money was inside. He is still not allowed to leave until tomorrow morning. Because even if Barney does let something slip, it will be too late to take any action by that time.
US Airport (Early the Next Day)
Dr. Lecter has just landed and is departing with the other people. He grabs his things and leaves. He walks a distance outside and then calls a cab. Dr. Lecter gives the man directions to a hotel that is nearby Mason's home, or about as close as he can get. Once inside his hotel room he lays the only bag he brought on the bed and sits down. Dr. Lecter is not too fond of guns, but this time he was willing to make an exception. He had his harpy and a gun. He figured Mason's men would be there waiting on him, but he did not care. Dr. Lecter had one thing going through his mind and that was to make sure she was safe. He hid the knife in his coat sleeve and kept the gun on his hip. Lecter left the hotel and went to get a vehicle. He bought a truck and left immediately down the highway.
Verger Farm
"Ms. Starling, time to wake up," said a machinelike voice.
Clarice opened up her eyes and realized Mason, Cordell, the sards, and some other man in the stall with her.
"Get her, and keep her close."
The sards untied the bonds. The one with the broken nose and swollen eye was a bit more forceful with her.
"What is wrong Carlo? A bit nervous ever since she beat your ass?"
"Enough. Just take her," said Mason more than a bit annoyed.
They had three men on her and as soon as she was off the post, they handcuffed her. Carlo grabbed her ponytail and yanked her head back so she was facing Mason.
"Now then Ms. Starling, are you ready for the show?"
