Chapter Four
Despite everyone being in cells, rumour spread quickly in the hospital. You wouldn't believe how many people now knew that Abel Gideon, Will Graham and the Schizophrenic chick were all in cells beside each other.
Danny soon learnt that Will didn't ask for Abel to be in their block of cells for his sense of humor. Abel Gideon knew Hannibal Lecter and Will needed as much evidence against Hannibal as he could get for his trial.
Danny sat on her bed as watched the two of them talking.
"What do you want me to do?" Abel asked
"Tell Jack Crawford the truth." Will said.
"You want me to tell Jack that I sat on Hannibal's blue chairs in his dining room while you had a seizure, and that is where Hannibal suggested that I kill Alana Bloom?" Abel asked, his head resting against the wall between his and Will's cells.
"Yes. Tell Jack that." Will replied.
"You might not have too." Danny butted in, both of the men's heads spun around, looking for an explanation.
"Frederick has voice recorders all over the place, he's heard everything you've said. He'll be on his way to see Jack right now. Right Dr. Chilton?" Danny asked, looking into the top right corner of her cell where a small red flicker went off.
"Good." Will said firmly.
Abel Gideon was taken out of his cell later in the day leaving Will rather happy with himself. Later on in the day a young woman walked though the gates to Danny, Will and Abel's block of cells. Abel still wasn't back from seeing Jack and Frederick.
The woman faced Danny causing her to lunge up from her bed.
"What have you done Danny?" The woman asked, shaking her head slightly.
"Who's this?" Will asked.
"This is my baby sister, Melissa. Melissa this is Will Graham, I'm sure you've heard of him." Danny introduced the two, standing beside the bars, "What brings you here Mel?"
"You," she said, "Why would you make a deal with that man?"
"What man?" Will asked, they both ignored him.
"He knew my secret, I knew his. We made promises to keep each other's ." Danny shrugged.
"Well the man you made a deal with just tried to kill Hannibal Lecter in the swimming baths near our house." Melissa shout-whispered.
Danny frowned and looked over to Will who had an urgent look on his face, "That's not my problem." Danny shrugged.
Melissa groaned and stormed out of the hospital like a five year old. Danny stared at Will, "Do you have anything to confess, Will? Because I'm about 100% sure that I made a deal with Hannibal and no one else."
"You might not have, but I did." Will said.
Danny knew what that meant. Will had tried to have Hannibal killed. But honestly part of Danny was sad that Will hadn't succeeded in killing Hannibal.
No one came into the block of cells for days. Apart from Jack Crawford. He came in once to give Will a slap on the hand for almost killing Hannibal and then a few hours later to tell both Danny and Will that Dr. Gideon had gone missing.
This news didn't seem too upsetting to Danny or Will, neither of them had cared too much for Abel. Danny barely knew the man and Will only wanted him there as evidence.
But a few days after the drama something big happened. Frederick Chilton walked into the block of cells with a key in his hand. He smiled slightly at Will who just looked generally confused.
"Abel Gideon was found dead two days ago in the exact same way the Chesapeake Ripper killed his first victim. The Chesapeake Ripper has let you go." Chilton explained, unlocking Will's cell, "Jack Crawford is waiting outside for you."
Danny's heart dropped as Will left his cell but he stopped half way, turning back to Frederick and Danny.
"Frederick. Danny is here because she burnt her house down during an episode, yes?" Will asked, Frederick nodded.
"And she only had an episode because she wasn't taking medicine, right?" Again, Frederick nodded, "So if she was taking medication she would no longer be a danger to society and would be able to live outside of your hospital?"
"What are you getting at Mr. Graham?" Frederick questioned his eyes narrowing, Danny just stared at them, her heart beating faster than ever before.
"Danny can live with me. I'll be a...a guardian for her." Will said, smiling slightly.
Will left to go home that night and Frederick Chilton contacted Melissa Macey and asked her to bring some clothes over for Danny.
It was a long night for Danny, she didn't sleep much due to her excitement so she just sat and chatted to the guards all night.
The next morning Danny got dressed into the clothes her sister had brought for her; purple skinny jeans, a Bring Me The Horizon shirt, a leather jacket and a pair of hunting boots. There were two things that Danny had loved before she was out into the hospital; Music and Hunting. She remembered when her brother would take her into the woods. Sometimes they would use a shotgun and other times they would use a bow and arrow. They were good times for Danny.
She stepped out of her cell and was escorted outside by two guards. As soon as she stepped outside she took a sharp breath in, the cold winter air stinging her pale face. She smiled slightly when she saw Will, skipping down the steps. Neither of them said a word to each other, their arms seemed to automatically wrap around each other in a warm embrace.
They climbed into Will's car and begun the trip to Wolf Trap, Virginia. Their smiles never vanishing from their faces.
