Maroon eyes, just like you

Barney escorted Luna up to the office, avoiding all the cameras and media, stopping at the door labeled Dr. Chilton PhD. Barney knocked on the door and waited for the doctor to call them in before entering.

Doctor sat at his desk, reading the case file and waiting to see this girl, confident that he would get her talking in just a few days if not a few hours. In his mind children were easy to deal with. This would be the easiest case he'd had in months. Yes, this would be very simple. Make the child laugh, give her a piece of candy and he'd have her jabbering in no time at all.

Barney entered and introduced her as Miss Luna Morgan before bowing to the child and thanking her for letting him escort her to his office and saying goodbye. Luna smiled and waved at Barney happily and watching the officer leave before turning to him with a completely blank expression.

'Maroon eyes, same as Lector. Very odd.' Dr. Chilton thought.

Dr. Chilton shook his head at the officer's strange behavior. The man was spending far too much time around Lector. Dr. Chilton smiled at the child and approached her beaming.

((Down in the Asylum))

Barney left Chilton's office and headed straight toward the cafeteria, getting two meals as usual. One meal was for him and the other meal was for Dr. Lector. It was Tuesday and he always had lunch with Dr. Lector on Tuesdays if he could help it. Barney brought down the trays and the TV hooked up to the security camera feed in Dr. Chilton's office, Barney wanted Lector to see this! The Doctor would enjoy knowing that there was a similar soul in the world. And if Barney's hunch was right, Chilton would also make a complete fool of himself with her too, if Luna was indeed anything like Dr. Lector.

"Hello Barney, how are you today?" Dr. Lector's voice smoothly sounded from behind the glass door of his cell down stairs. It was completely empty except for Dr. Lector after the incident with the other patient… aka the one that Hannible and killed for assaulting that FBI Agent, Chilton had all the others removed leaving Lector completely alone in the basement. What the Doctor didn't know was that Bareny would keep Dr. Lector whenever he was on duty. And he would keep the news on the TV as well to help the doctor keep up with the changing times.

"Hello Dr. Lector, I am very well, and yourself? I do have some news that will intrigue you Doctor." Barney smiled as he gave the Doctor his meal through the basket attached to his cell.

"As well as Chilton will allow me to be Barney… And what news would that be? Would it be about that little girl who will not speak?" Dr. Lector grinned and thanked Barney for the meal and sat on the bed to eat.

"It is about the girl. Her name is Luna Morgan… she's six years old and she shares a few rather interesting qualities with you Doctor Lector."

Hannible looked up intensely interested now.

"Indeed Barney? And what qualities would we share?"

Barney smiled at the note of interest in the Doctors voice as he set up the TV to display what was going on in Chilton's office before turning up the volume and sitting down with his own meal with the TV close enough for Hannible to see and hear.

"Well, her eyes are the exact same color as yours, she responses only to those who are polite and don't insult her or her intelligence, and according to the officers from Chicago she shares your immense strength and other abilities, hearing, sense of smell, excreta… but she has also displayed similar personality traits to you. She broke a nurse's wrist that tried to take away her IPod, and tore a chunk of flesh from a doctor's arm with her teeth when he tried to give her a tranquilizer to sedate her in the same incident. She sent a psychologist in Chicago screaming to lock her up in an asylum that she would be the next Lector if they didn't… All of that and she just simple reminds me of a much smaller you, Doctor."

Barney took a bite of his meal as Hannible listened intently.

"I am to guess that the Doctor cornered and scared her in to biting, the nurse did not ask to see her IPod and did not plan to return it to force the girl to talk, and that the psychologist was very rude and made Miss Morgan angry with her by insulting her?"

Hannible took a bite of the pork meal that Barney had brought him, a little joke that they shared, referring to the Doctor's former cannibalism. Seeing that pork had a very similar texture to human flesh, it was a rather dark parody, but Hannible never the less enjoyed it.

"That would be exactly what happened Dr. Lector." Barney smiled.

"Very intriguing indeed Barney, I thank you for telling me. But I may ask why we are watching Dr. Chilton working in his office?"

Barney grinned like a cat that swallowed the canary, "Because Doctor, Chilton is working with Miss Morgan in his office right now, and I thought it might be amusing for the both of us to watch."

Hannible tsked the officer with a soft chuckle in his voice. "Very rude Barney, very rude indeed, but it is the truth… let us watch the good Dr. Chilton try."

Barney chuckled at Hannibal's dry sense of humor and turned up the volume to watch the live feed from Chilton's office.

((Chilton's office))

"Hello Luna, I'm Dr. Chilton. Good to meet you." Chilton held out his hand to her in a hand shake which she did not respond to. Luna merely looked up at him with that blank and unreadable expression that Lector often had.

My my Dr. Chilton, we have just met and already I find you rude... That is not how you greet a lady sir.

Chilton withdrew his hand and looked down at the child. 'Stubborn… just like Lector… oh joy…' He thought irritably. "Please Luna, sit, so we may talk." Luna turned from him on her heel and sat in the chair in front of his desk, her hands folded and legs crossed.

Chilton shook his head to himself and sat behind his desk. "Very well, Luna… Do you know what a psychologist is?" His tone was light and he spoke slowly as an adult would speak to a very small child who was not very bright.

Luna frowned at this tone and was insulted by the Doctor's actions. Clearly he had no idea who he was speaking to. Luna was not the everyday six year old. She was by far more intelligent. And she hated being treated as if she was some idiot.

Luna grabbed her IPod and found the song she wanted to express her emotions. From the small speaker the song Alouette played in French. Chilton frowned and his brow copied him as he looked down to scribble down his notes of the encounter, since he did not speak French nor did he know the meaning of the song, Luna's message was completely lost on him.

((Down in the asylum))

Hannible choked, sputtered and coughed as he had been drinking some of the juice that Barney had gotten him and used his napkin to wipe up what had been shot out of his nose as Luna had picked the song in response to Chilton's idiotic question. Hannible coughed and laughed covering his mouth with his napkin as he whipped his face.

Barney jumped at the Doctors sudden outburst and looked at him with the question in his eyes. Hannible regained control of himself and he explained.

"The song Miss Morgan picked to respond to Chilton is a thinly veiled insult to all practicing psychologists, in English it says, little bird I will pluck; I will pluck your head… and so on. It is referring to how psychologist pluck at the minds of their patience… she's making fun of him in a very insulting way."

Barney nodded and chuckled as they both continued to watch the TV.
