The Trial Awaits
Ardelia left the building and noticed all the guards standing at every entrance. Makes since, no need to guard a man just his exits. She pulled the keys out of her purse and paced herself to her car. A man in a suit and tie followed her close behind.
"Agent Mapp?"
"What do you want Rick Lanbourne?"
This man was a low life reporter who was in charge of calling Clarice the Death Angel, not to mention romanticizing the Starling-Lecter meetings. How ironic he actually turned out to be right.
"Do you know what happened between Lecter and Starling?"
"Get away asshole."
"Aaawww come on, I would like to know some details about the Dr.'s case...."
"What?!" ,she interrupted, "They are making his case already?"
"Yeah didn't you know they are starting it tomorrow."
That was all he had to say for Ardelia to run to her car and start the engine. The plan was to meet in Tuscany in a week. That was already pushing it, but this is going to ruin everything. They will definitely give him the death penalty.
She went back to Clarice's hospital to tell her all that had happened. After hearing these things she remained silent and stood up. Clarice made her way to the closet with her clothes.
"What are you doing?"
"They found nothing wrong with me, they can't hold me here, we have to go."
Ardelia let out a sigh. Why does all of this have to happen?
Clarice ran to the bathroom to get dressed. I have to get to him in between trials. No. There will be too many guards. Think, think, think. My only choice is to get to him tonight. He will be too well guarded. Then we can finally live together in peace. Clarice's thoughts strayed back to Ardelia. Should I tell her what the nurses had to say to me while she left? How would she take it?
She pulled on her jacket and walked out the door. No she isn't ready to hear it yet.
"Ardelia we are getting him tonight."
"I know. But you aren't doing it alone."
Clarice looked back at her friend and smiled. They walked down to the garage. Little did Ardelia know that what the nurses told Clarice was life changing. Life is a precious gift, and now Clarice had, not only a life to save, but she was also.........
