Waiting room:
"She's no longer responding Jack!" Alana yelled right after Jack told her to continue the hypnotherapy.
"Go back in there and resume with the questions… she said a line up of women Alana, do you understand what's at stake?"
"I believe I do Jack, I value the living more than I value the dead, does a living Luna pull any heartstrings in you at all?"
"Think about the reaction of the families we will break this wonderful news to" Jack emphasized
"Luna has a family too, think about how her aunt would feel if we break Luna before she even gets the chance to know her" Alana was almost yelling now
"Besides, Even if I wanted to, I can't pull her back to the surface, Hannibal is coming, and he can take it from here" hoping to put an end to the discussion.
"Take what from here?" Will Graham came in the room.
Jack and Alana froze, like children caught red handed.
"What's going on?" he probed "Cat got your tongue?" he teased as he continued.
A sudden aura of fear emanated from Alana.
Will turned to the direction she was looking at.
Hannibal was walking straight for Luna's room.
Hannibal locked the door.
He took off his coat and hung it neatly at the back of the chair.
He stared at Luna, "My my my, in trouble again, it hasn't even been two hours since i left" he murmured to himself.
He went closer as if walking on air.
"Luna" he called out. "Luna" he repeated.
Nothing…
"Luna I need you listen to my voice"
Coaxing her out from whatever dream or memory she's drowning in.
He repeated her name over and over until her breathing became audible.
Finally he thought "Describe what you see".
"A man sitting on the ground. He's crying with his back towards me"
"Tell me where you are"
Luna turned to her right, her scrumptious face getting dangerously close to Hannibal's.
"The woods, the one behind our old cabin" He could smell her Sunlight deprived skin.
"Do you recognize the man?" She did not respond, instead her arm extended forward as if reaching for something.
Her chest started to heave uncontrollably fast.
"Luna" Hannibal said, her fast breathing persisted
"Luna" I need you to calm down. Still the same.
"Luna" then a snap and it stopped.
Waiting room:
"Who would have known, underneath all that composure, the doctor is capable of worry"
Will joked to break the awkward silence. Sadly it didn't help.
Alana sat quietly on the sofa, legs crossed, hand on her forehead shaking uncontrollably
Jack leaned on the frame of the door head down as if contemplating something.
Hannibal's stare was boring through Jack Crawford and was subtly burning Alana Bloom as well.
The resident doctor came in smiling; Alana took that as a good sign.
She turned to everyone in the room with her smile, but all 3 men refused to smile back.
"She's okay right?" Alana verified.
"Yes she is, she already asked about food, Oh! And Dr. Lecter"
Hannibal couldn't hide the grin, he walked gracefully past everyone, heading straight for the room.
"Wait!" Alana called out; she got something out of her bag and was handing it over.
"What is this" Hannibal asked,
"It's food obviously" Will said while Hannibal was staring at a tiny bag of marshmallows.
"I don't think so" Hannibal said, handing it back to Alana.
"She has to eat something Hannibal, while they are getting her food" Alana stated.
Hannibal surrendered and took the bag.
"Luna" Hannibal called out as he came in the room
Luna started pressing every button on the remote to turn the TV off.
"Hi doctor!" she said as if guilty of something.
"You're feeling better I see? Listening to the Television again" Hannibal was being sarcastic.
"Yes I am felling better! Mostly blind but better" she said.
"Does it matter?" he asked as he gave her the bag of marshmallows.
"I'm not sure it does... Hmm what is this?" Luna asked as she ate a piece
"Bagged poison" He answered.
Luna froze for a second then took another piece "Oh well, Live life to the fullest i guess..."
"So do you want to discuss what happened during your therapy?" he asked while she ate
"Yes" she answered.
Luna and Hannibal placed a few puzzle pieces together.
It is not 100% complete but at least they have something.
Hannibal gave Jack the details of the dream to keep him occupied.
The actual memories that went with the dream however, he chose to keep to himself.
Jack led the search and retrieval of the remains.
Hannibal gave him useful information.
The discarded dolls were engulfed by tree roots under the riverbank.
Literally like rings to a finger.
The team was able to retrieve at least 5 bodies.
Jack called for an Emergency meeting after the successful retrieval of the remains
FBI is now leaning to the premise that Luna Luminosi as an accomplice.
At the last crime scene of "This serial killer", Will Graham verified that a Female influence was involved, possibly, was even in control.
Anton Luminosi is mentally challenged, he's incapable of leading.
Luna Luminosi however is the opposite.
Records show she got into an exclusive college, and was taking Psychology
The school is a stickler for privacy, they were very hard to find.
They refused to help at first but after being served with a warrant they provided us with what we need.
The school and personal records you currently hold in your hand.
"She's good!" Alana said amazed as she scanned through paperwork after paperwork.
"At her age I can say she's very advanced" she continued eyes wide, then paused to ask
"Why do we only have records of her first year in college?"
"The headmistress said she dropped out of school, it was around the time of the accident" Jack answered.
"Why is Dr. Lecter not part of this meeting?" Will asked derailing the direction of the conversation.
"Yeah… where is he?" Alana asked.
"That's the other thing... We are keeping Dr. Lecter out of the loop.
Luna seemed to have developed an attachment to him. If we inform Hannibal she might sense a change in him,
If she's as advance as you say she is, she might suspect something, we still need her." Jack explained
"So we will investigate her and at the same time use her?" Very decent Jack, Will judged
"Do you have anything else in mind Will, any suggestion you would like to share" Jack asked
Will shook his head side to side, "Well then" sounding victorious "That's all I have for both of you"
"Wait what about her aunt?" Alana asked.
"We're keeping her out of the loop as well. She made housing arrangements but she agreed to let us take point for the meantime"
