Jack Crawford sat rigidly in his desk chair. His fingers crackling paper as he drummed them firmly on his desk. It was embarassing; first a consultant used in multiple cases locked up in a mental hospital, and Jack still had yet to catch the Chesapeake Ripper. Where was that man. Dr. Lecter would consider being late rude. Moments after this thought had crossed the mind of the head of the BAU at the FBI, Hannibal walked neatly through the door. His silk suit freshly changed. Earlier this morning he had had an, er, incident, resulting in dinner ingredients.

"Dr. Lecter, I've called you here this morning because the topic of the continuance of Will Graham's treatment by you has been brought to my attention by one Alana Bloom."

"I should think that sessions would continue as usual. Will needs a constant in his ever changing life. I believe it would help to ground him," the doctor said sensibly.

"Dr. Bloom disagrees, and I'm beginning to have reservations about this arrangement as well," lidded eyes lower infinitesimally,"Dr. Lecter, Will Graham held a gun to your head and accused you of being a murderer. You may be doing more harm than good."

"As much as I respect the opinion of Dr. Bloom and yourself, I refuse to give up on Will. His treatment is progressing and in due time he will be perfectly lucid and seeing a familiar face, especially one he could confide in, would be a comfort," Jack held firm under the doctor's reptilian stare.

"This is something you need to discuss with Dr. Bloom, but for the time being, I am going to have to suspend your abilities to visit Will. Is that a problem, Dr. Lecter?"

"Of course not," the facade was calm, but rage flipped behind closed doors,"I think I shall visit Dr. Bloom later today."

"Yes, I think it's better to get this out of the way as soon as possible."

"Do I have your confidence that you nor anyone else will speak to Will before a decision has been made?"

"Absolutely, but it would be best if that came sooner than later," Jack shifted the papers on his desk,"Will is bound to realize that something is going on with a mind like his."

"Very well," Hannibal stand up and smooths his pristine suit,"Thank you for calling me here today. It was very informative," fist clenched inside jacket pocket,"I shall take every word into consideration."

"I'm glad you feel that way," Jack stands up as well. The doctor turns to go. What is to be done about this.
