Will had been missing for months at this point in time. Everyone had given up hope of finding Will. Alana, just recently, lost it and had been put in a mental hospital, claiming the cat that Hannibal had grown fond of was indeed Will Graham.
Hannibal frowned as he thought of poor Ms. Bloom slowly going insane at the loss of her friend. Who could blame her? There was no evidence of Will's kidnapping or kidnapper, and everyone was beyond frustrated with the lack of progress with the case. Jack had come over yesterday to tell Hannibal that they had pulled all their forces from the lost Will case because there was nothing they could do. Hannibal acted the upset professional part well, but somehow he knew nothing was wrong and did not feel any sympathy to the kidnapped Will.
Later that night, the cat had spent more time with Hannibal than usual. The cat, Hannibal had found over the last few months, was very anti-social, even more so than the average cat. While it did have its bouts of affection, it stayed on the same armchair it had been left on the day it had been brought. Other unusual behaviors included not doing much of anything besides watch Hannibal when he was around. There was never any shed fur or any claw marks on the furniture. Hannibal had taken a liking to the cat who did nothing all day except lie down on the chair.
Today, Hannibal woke up in the morning to find the cat curled up on his chest. This was extremely unusual, considering the fact that the cat hardly moved from its chair. The cat moved its head to look at Hannibal. Hannibal reached up to pet the cat's head. Normally the cat would run off at this point, but the cat stayed still and began to purr, seeming to enjoy being put.
Hannibal smiled a little. Soon Hannibal needed to get ready for his day. The cat followed him all around the house, still even more unusual. When Hannibal reached his front door to leave, the cat began to mewel to get his attention. Hannibal looked over at the cat who sat a few feet from him in the hallway. It looked upset at being left. Hannibal tried to leave a few more times, each time stopping after hearing the heart-breaking sounds the cat was making. Hannibal looked one last time at the cat before picking it up and taking it with him out to the car and office. the cat purred the entire time. Hannibal guessed it was happy to be going out.
Hannibal brought it into his office, but tried to tell the cat to stay in a chair in the corner of the room. Each time he set the cat down, it would get up and walk over to Hannibal's chair, only to jump on the arm rest and stay put, looking quite proud of himself. Hannibal laughed at the look and decided to give into the cat. So long as the cat didn't interrupt anything, the cat would be fine there.
The cat sat perfectly still through all the sessions, almost respectful. All the patients adored him, and the cat seemed to be a good thing for them all. When Will's old appointment time rolled around, no one came. Hannibal was not sentimental, but he had a feeling Will would come back, so he didn't want to book the spot until they found Will's dead body. Surprisingly enough, the cat moved just about the time that Will's appointment began, and sat in the chair Will would occupy if he was there. The cat would not have been a good Will. The cat seemed too at peace with the world to be Will. Will carried too many burdens to be as carefree as the cat who had managed to coax Hannibal over to the newly occupied chair by rolling onto its back to display its tummy for petting. Hannibal complied and pet the cat until it got up at the end of the "appointment" and when to go sit in its previous spot.
The cat stayed on the arm rest of Hannibal's chair until it was time to leave. The cat was cooperative the whole ride home. The cat even ate with Hannibal during dinner. By the time Hannibal was ready to go to bed, the cat was waiting patiently for him.
Hannibal's and the cat's days consisted of this same routine for a few weeks before it changed suddenly.
