CHAPTER 39　　

Normally, Clarice Starling would have been curious to see Crawford's house in Arlington, but the bulletin on the car radio about Dr. Lecter's escape knocked all that out of her.　
Lips numb and scalp prickling, she drove by rote, saw the neat 1950s ranch house without looking at it, and only wondered dimly if the lit, curtained windows on the left were where Bella was lying. The doorbell seemed too loud.　
Crawford opened the door on the second ring. He wore a baggy cardigan and he was talking on a wireless phone. "Copley in Memphis," he said. Motioning for her to follow, he led her through the house, grunting into the telephone as he went.　
In the kitchen, a nurse took a tiny bottle from the refrigerator and held it to the light. When Crawford raised his eyebrows to the nurse, she shook her head, she didn't need him.　
He took Starling to his study, down three steps into what was clearly a converted double garage. There was good space here, a sofa and chairs, and on the cluttered desk a computer terminal glowed green beside an antique astrolabe. The rug felt as though it was laid on concrete. Crawford waved her to a seat.Additional Nike technologies such as nike">http://www.lunareclipse2.net/nike-lunar-white-nike-lunar-haze-white-c-40_41.html">nike lunar haze whiteLite foam, a Natural Motion outsole and Flywire are also included in the construction, making this shoe not only comfortable and responsive, but also extremely lightweight as well..　
He put his hand over the receiver. "Starling, this is baloney, but did you hand Lecter anything at all in Memphis?"　
"No."　
"No object."　
"Nothing."　
"You took him the drawings and stuff from his cell."　
"I never gave it to him. The stuff's still in my bag. He gave me the file. That's all that passed between us."　
Crawford tucked the phone under his jowl. "Copley, that's unmitigated bullshit. I want you to step on that bastard and do it now. Straight to the chief, straight to the TBI.

Burroughs is on it. Yes." He turned off the phone and stuffed it in his pocket.　
"Want some coffee, Starling? Coke?"　
"What was that about handing things to Dr. Lecter?"　
"Chilton's saying you must have given Lecter something he used to slip the ratchet on the cuffs. You didn't do it on purpose, he says--- it was just ignorance." Sometimes Crawford had angry little turtle-eyes. He watched how she took it. "Did Chilton try to snap your garters, Starling? Is that what's the matter with him?"　
"Maybe. I'll take black with sugar, please."　
While he was in the kitchen, she took deep breaths and looked around the room. If you live in a dormitory or a barracks, it's comforting to be in a home. Even with the ground shaking under Starling, her sense of the Crawfords' lives in this house helped her.　
Crawford was coming, careful down the steps in his bifocals, carrying the cups.The Rejuven8 adopts uppers that match the brightly colored flags of the country, but the nike">http://www.lunareclipse2.net/nike-lunar-white-c-40.html">nike lunar white Woven Chukka features an all-black woven upper with the midsole adopting the country color code.czfnk03. He was half an inch shorter in his moccasins. When Starling stood to take her coffee, their eyes were almost level. He smelled like soap, and his hair looked fluffy and gray.　
"Copley said they haven't found the ambulance yet. Police barracks are turning out all over the South."　
She shook her head. "I don't know any details. The radio just had the bulletin--- Dr. Lecter killed two policemen and got away."　
"Two corrections officers." Crawford punched up the crawling text on his computer screen. "Names were Boyle and Pembry. You deal with them?"

"Nice job planting his video-surveillance equipment. I've looked at the videotapes already. They're not bad. On the whole, John, full marks for Team-2." Stanley saluted with his jar of John Courage. "Nice to see that everything works, Al."　　

"Until the next one."　　

A long breath. "Yeah." Most of the success, Clark knew, was due to the British. He'd made use of their support systems, and their men had actually led the takedown-two-thirds of it.Additional Nike technologies such as nike">http://www.lunareclipse2.net/nike-lunar-white-nike-lunar-haze-white-c-40_41.html">nike lunar haze whiteLite foam, a Natural Motion outsole and Flywire are also included in the construction, making this shoe not only comfortable and responsive, but also extremely lightweight as well.. Louis Loiselle was every bit as good as the French had claimed. The little bastard could shoot like Davy Crockett with an attitude, and was about as excitable as a rock. Well, the French had their own terrorist experiences, and once upon a time Clark had gone out into the field with them. So, this one would go into the records as a successful mission. Rainbow was now certified. And so, Clark knew, was he.　　　　　　





The Society of Cincinnatus owned a large house on Massachusetts Avenue that was frequently used for the semiofficial dinners that were so vital a part of the Washington social scene, and allowed the mighty to cross paths and validate their status over drinks and small talk. The new President made that somewhat difficult, of course, with his . . .Alongside the original Tier Zero releases, NSW dropped the nike">http://www.lunareclipse2.net/nike-lunar-white-nike-lunar-elite-2-white-c-40_44.html">nike lunar elite 2 white Flow, which, as you can probably tell by the name alone, is a LunarLon-cushioned version of the classic running sneaker.. eccentric approach to government, but no person could really change that much in this city, and the new crop in Congress needed to learn how Washington Really Worked. It was no different from other places around America, of course, and to many of them the gatherings at this former dwelling of somebody rich and important was merely the new version of the country club dinners where they'd learned the rules of polite power society.　　

Carol Brightling was one of the new important people. A divorcee for over ten years who'd never remarried, she had no less than three doctorates, from Harvard, CalTech, and the University of Illinois, thus covering both coasts and three important states, which was an important accomplishment in this city, as that guaranteed her the instant attention, if not the automatic affection, of six senators and a larger number of representatives, all of whom had votes and committees.　　

"Catch the news," the junior senator from Illinois asked her over a glass of white wine.　　

"What do you mean?"　　

"Switzerland. Either a terrorist thing or a bank robbery. Nice takedown by the Swiss cops."　　

"Boys and their guns," Brightling observed dismissively.　　

"It made for good TV.The Rejuven8 adopts uppers that match the brightly colored flags of the country, but the nike">http://www.lunareclipse2.net/nike-lunar-white-c-40.html">nike lunar white Woven Chukka features an all-black woven upper with the midsole adopting the country color code.czfnk03."　　

"So does football," Brightling noted, with a gentle, nasty smile.　　

"True. Why isn't the President supporting you on Global Warming?" the senator asked next, wondering how to crack her demeanor.　　

"Well, he isn't not supporting me. The President thinks \k a need some additional science on the issue."　　

"And you don't?"　　

"Honestly, no, I think we have all the science we need. The top down and bottom-up data are pretty clear. But the President isn't convinced himself, and does not feel comfortable with taking measures that affect the economy until he is personally sure." I have to work on him some more, she didn't add.
