Authoress Note: Welcome to Chapter 60 of Messed Up World. Thank you to those who have left reviews for this story. It really does mean a lot to me that you guys are enjoying this story. Hopefully Margarita is to everyone's liking. I know it's been taking me a bit to write this whole thing out and making each chapter as long as I can. I do apologize if some of my chapters are short, but it's kind of hard with some chapters to make them longer. We only have 6 Chapters left after this chapter. Without further ado Chapter 60. ENJOY!

Chapter 60

Margarita sat in Jack's office talking to him about what was going on. "You seem to think that Will is on the right track, Jack?" She questioned looking up at the older man. "He was delirious."

Jack let out a breath. "I know you are beginning to question Will."

Margarita shifted some in her seat letting out a soft breath. "I don't know what to think of Will honestly. He was slowly losing himself. You saw that."

"Yes, and so did you."

"He shouldn't have a gun or even be out on the field any more." She admitted softly looking up at Jack. "I know that you want Will to be on the field to help catch the killers for you… but Jack this isn't safe. It's not safe for anyone."

Brian and Jimmy came into the room to report to Jack.

"We found train tickets purchased by Garret Jacob Hobbs." Brian said, looking at Jack.

"Tickets." Jack questioned looking up at the two men.

"Two." Jimmy confirmed.

"Tickets were for the same train line one of his victims was using." Brian explained.

"Elise Nichols." Jack said firmly knowing that was a good sign they had a connection.

"Found more instances of Hobbs crossing with victims. Dinner receipts for two. Two hotel rooms near the same campuses." Jimmy explained.

"We know he wasn't traveling alone." Brian said with a nod of his head.

Jack put everything together before they could tell him. "He was traveling with his daughter."

"They were registered for an orientation program at St. Cloud State on the Mississippi, where the Nichols girl was going to school."

"Abigail Hobbs attended orientations at every school where a girl was abducted by the Minnesota Shrike. Within days of the abduction." Jimmy explained knowing that they finally found out that Abigail helped her father.

"She was with her father when he chose the girls."

"Or she helped him choose the girls." Jack said rubbing his mouth.

"The connection the Copy Cat has to Garret Jacob Hobbs could be family."

"The Copy Cat was inspired by her own father? Killed Cassie Boyle to impress dad? Killed Marissa Schuur in memoriam and then killed Nick Boyle to cover her tracks?"

"Why would she kill Sutcliffe and the Madchen girl?"

"Either she's got a taste for it or she wants to impress someone new."

Margarita got up to her feet. "Well I'm headed home for the day unless you need me for something?" Margarita said, looking over at Jack out of the corner of her eyes.

Jack shook his head. "I'm sure that you're exhausted, Margarita. You've been working fairly hard with everything and trying to help us the best you can in this case."

Margarita nodded her head slowly and headed out the door.

HANNIBAL

Margarita sat in Hannibal's office after putting their daughter down for bed that night.

Hannibal looked over one of the patient notebooks he had before him.

Suddenly the door swung open and there was Jack coming into the room with irritation written on his face. "What the hell is going on between Will Graham and Abigail Hobbs?"

Margarita got up to her feet, anger crossing her face.

"Will has been victim to many unusual and irrational thoughts." Hannibal said looking up from the notebook he had in front of him.

"Has he acted on those thoughts?"

"Not that I'm aware of or he's aware of, for that matter. But he has experienced periods of lost time."

"I've seen him confused at crime scenes. He was disoriented."

"He may've been confused because he was waking up. Might not have known where he was or how he got there."

"Waking up?"

"From a dissociated personality state. He would appear perfectly normal and not remember a thing. But a fractured part of him would."

"You knew about this."

"He's only recently started to discuss these episodes."

"Unless recently was right before I walked into this room, you failed to mention any of this to me."

"Because I was trying to determine if it was trauma and stress from the work he does for you... or mental illness. Thought it wise to be sure before making any kind of claim about Will Graham's sanity."

"He took Abigail Hobbs. Any idea where they could be going?"

Margarita's hands gripped tightly at her sides not liking how Jack was talking to her husband.

"No." Hannibal said firmly as he stood up.

"We have evidence she was involved in her father's crimes. We just don't know how involved."

Hannibal looked rather gobsmacked at the revelation.

"Could Will know what she did? Is that why he's been protecting her?"

Hannibal looked like a man who wants to have a heart-to-heart. "There's something you should hear." Hannibal brought out a recording device. He pressed play and watched Jack listening.

"How did you feel seeing Marissa Schuur impaled in the antler room?" Hannibal's voice came over the recording.

"Guilty." Will admitted softly.

"Because you couldn't save her?"

"Because I felt like I killed her."

Hannibal pressed stop studying Jack's reaction.

"Where was Will the night Marissa Schuur was murdered?" Jack questioned looking over at Hannibal.

"He was supposed to be in his hotel room. I knocked on his door. He didn't answer. He told Alana Bloom he decided to go to bed early." Hannibal said calmly to Jack.

"We know Will was in Sutcliffe's office when he was killed. And Will was the last person to visit

Georgia Madchen before she died."

"Is Will Graham a suspect?"

"This dissociated personality state you say he goes into... whose personality is it?"

"Will said he got so close to Garret Jacob Hobbs and what he had done, he felt like he was becoming him."

"Now Will has Hobbs' daughter."

"Who Hobbs was intending to kill." Margarita said knowing that she needed to help Hannibal set up Will for this.
