...Hospital Waiting Room...
"I watched the interrogation tapes; she was obviously out of it; BAU needs to start from scratch.
I mean why would she imply that the person who was let into the case last, saw her before we all did? That's impossible."
Will said while leaning on the door frame "She was probably already hallucinating before you even started questioning her" he added with a smirk on his face.
"Her medical records show that the accident that caused her blindness also caused head trauma.
That may explain the lack of cohesion in her thoughts" Alana said trying to support Will's observation as she flipped through pages of medical records.
"Cohesion or No Cohesion: The fact of the matter is she reacted to Dr. Lecter.
We should continue on this path. Let Hannibal take lead with the psychoanalysis" Jack emphasized.
"Her apathy and loss of sight is due to a head trauma. I recommend an extension to her confinement.
Personality changes are unpredictable" Alana said while handing the chart back to the charge nurse.
There was a break of silence then Hannibal spoke "…You're saying that changes to her mental state won't be apparent if we keep her isolated?"
He was asking the question to prove a point.
"Point taken…" Will muttered while nodding his head.
"I suggest we expose her to the outside world. Better she deals with her fears now rather than later.
If there is really something wrong with her, diagnosing it early may mean better prognosis" Hannibal continued, as he crossed his legs and shrugged a shoulder.
"This dialogue has been going on for almost 2 hrs now; we need a different approach. We need to be drastic"
Jack shifted in his chair irritation and lack of sleep was starting to take its toll.
"When she's better, I'll give Dr. Lecter access to her; under your observation of course." Jack continued leaning his head to Alana's direction.
"Why not give Dr. Lecter all the access; why do I need to observe?" Alana asked sounding offended.
"As much as you would like to deny it Dr. Bloom; you seem to have developed some kind of mistrust in my judgments.
We're giving you full access to her, while Dr. Lecter takes the lead.
You'll be the good cop while Hannibal plays the bad cop. You can do that right Hannibal?"
If they knew his real nature, his stare would have been enough of an answer. "Yes I can." he still gave them a verbal one.
Luna knew he was there... but how? Hannibal still can't tell.
Alana and Jack noticed how she reacted to him.
After watching the video, Will did too.
She's not his typical prey but she's starting to spell danger for him.
Abigail Hobbs wasn't as bold.
Luna however, is something else.
Jack entered the room and whispered to Alana.
The expression on her face intrigued Hannibal, so he followed them out.
"Is she awake" he asked jack.
"Yes, i prefer Dr. Bloom sees her first, being the good cop and all" Jack replied.
He was assigned to manage her care; he's supposed to take point. Did she specifically request for Alana?
He can't risk her telling anyone anything else; He's going to have to keep this doll very close.
"Should i head for the hospital now?" he asked Jack.
"Not yet, Doctor. I prefer your sessions with her to be out-patient, like in your office maybe?"
(This just gets better and better, he thought)
"Of course Jack" he acknowledged the suggestion.
