[Hannibal] Assimilation

"The right hemisphere of his brain is inflamed, and they put him into induced sleep and put him on antivirals and steroids," Alana said, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, as Jack walked in.

"Is he better?" Jack asked, his voice full of weariness, as he'd been working overtime on the Hannibal case.

"At least half a month." Alana looked at the man on the bed, her voice choked and suppressed anger, "The doctor said that Will's illness has been going on for a long time, and Hannibal must have done something to him to cause epilepsy. Dr. Sukri was introduced to Will by Hannibal. He tampered with the test results, so Hannibal must have killed him. I was afraid that Dr. Sukri would expose him. I always thought he was a respectable scholar... ..."

Alana cried at the end. She covered her face and apologized to Jack, who stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

"Where's Abigail?" Alana wiped her face and asked with her head raised.

"She will return to her parents next week. The funeral has been arranged and will be held in a low-key manner." Jack sighed. Abigail assisted her father in seducing the victim. Boll they don't have any evidence except Will's push, unless he can pry it out of Hannibal's mouth, but obviously the ex-psychiatrist knows how to deal with the FBI, and they are now facing the embarrassment of insufficient evidence, but... That was before the search warrant came down.

"How about Gabriel?" Jack asked, he always felt that Hannibal was playing some tricks, Will had heard everything with his own ears, it stands to reason that Hannibal shouldn't say nothing, they can always find evidence Yes, now he looked like he was stalling for time.

"Not very good." Alana shook her head, she looked even more sad, "Still in the intensive care unit, visits are not allowed."

"Do you think it's possible..." Jack stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, Alana looked at him suspiciously, Jack sighed, lowered his eyes and continued, "Do you think it's possible, Gabriel...Knowing that Hanni What he did, you see it's still a mystery why he suddenly went to Minnesota, and—"

"Jack!?" Alana raised her voice. She felt incredible, and stared at Jack with round eyes, "Jack! What's wrong with you? Are you suspicious of everyone? Do you still doubt me?! "

"Alana." Jack looked into the female doctor's eyes and said word by word, "People at the scene, one remained silent, two were in a coma and the other died. None of us knew what happened at that time. Although Will will The matter has been briefly explained, but there are still many things that don't make sense, Abigail was killed after he was in a coma, and Will doesn't know anything except that Hannibal himself admitted that he killed Nicholas Boll."

"Gabriel is now lying in the intensive care unit, doesn't it explain everything?" Alana felt that Jack was simply a lunatic. At the beginning of this case, he first suspected Abigail and then Will, and now he even doubted Gabriel. terrible!

"Hannibal shot and killed Abigail, and Gabriel was shot when he rushed to stop him. Isn't that what your FBI deduced from the scene?"

"But later Hannibal called 911, and he stayed there to hold Gabriel's wound, and was finally caught by the police who arrived, why did he do this, don't tell me that the murderer who killed so many people is in the heart Still retaining the love for the adopted son?" Jack glanced at Will who was sleeping on the hospital bed, and asked in a low voice.

"Why not?" Alana saw Jack's eyes, calmed down and lowered her volume, she didn't look at Jack as if she was sulking, "I don't think there is anything suspicious about this, Hannibal has always Gabriel is so loving, it's normal to act like this, isn't it?"

"Okay, that makes sense, but we still don't know why Gabriel went to Minnesota, besides, don't you think Gabriel and Hannibal, Abigail and her father, do you think they are very similar ?” Jack walked to another chair and sat down, although he was tired, his eyes were still bright, as if he was ready to fight the terrifying murderer at any time.

"We can only find out when Gabriel wakes up," Alana sighed. Hannibal's matter was definitely not so easy for her to accept. If Will didn't need her care now, she would have I couldn't hold it anymore, "But Jack, you have to remember that Gabriel is not your prisoner, please don't assume him to be a prisoner, it's very rude."

"I know what I'm doing, Alana." Jack rested his elbows on his knees, looked at Will on the hospital bed, and said slowly, "It's strange, I asked my agent to check the adoption system about Will. Bailie’s information, but the information found out is false, that data has been tampered with.”

Startled, Alana looked to the black executive and heard him say, "You know what that means, Alana."

— two months later —

"They found multiple human remains from the basement. They were cut into pieces and wrapped up in the refrigerator, just like the meat we buy in the supermarket. They found the DNA of Nick, Marisa and others. He Take their internal organs, eat them, and use them as trophies. Hannibal didn't say anything, but now the evidence is clear, he will face multiple murders, this case is very bad, I'm afraid..."

"Have you met him, Will?" The boy sitting on the hospital bed asked softly, his voice was a little hoarse, not as clear as before, and over a month later, his hair had grown a lot, covered by bangs The man who cut his hair was sent to prison by his own hands.

"No." Will stood up and turned his back to Gabriel. He had been hesitating since he entered this ward. He didn't know if Gabriel could accept it at this time, so he mentioned Hannibal.But now he found that it was also a mistake.

Will went to the window and looked at the buds emerging from the tree below. "The court will be held in a few days, and I will see him there, although I don't want to..."

Feeling the silence behind him, he turned around and looked at Gabriel, "I heard you refused to appear in court?"

Before Gabriel could speak, Will realized the problem. Before Gabriel could speak, he said, "I can understand. It's normal that you don't want to go. Anyway, there are FBI conversation records."

The boy smiled, and coughed as soon as he was about to speak. He bent over and coughed badly. From the perspective of his back, he was even thinner. After more than a month of bed rest, he was so thin that only his bones remained. Will hurried over and fell down. Give him warm water.

Gabriel drank the water to calm his breath, he raised his eyes to look at Will, there was no trace of haze in those beautiful eyes as always.

"I refused to appear in court because I followed the doctor's advice. The lung infection hadn't fully recovered before coughing. In fact... I don't hate him," Gabriel shook his head and said, seeing the disapproval on Will's face, " Although he hurt me, he also saved me, if it wasn't for him, I would probably be dead now, so I don't hate him anymore."

Gabriel hated it when he was controlled by Hannibal, but now when Hannibal is locked up in prison awaiting trial, thinking that he might be sentenced to death, Gabriel felt a strange feeling in his heart. He still can't tell what it is.

It's just that as time went by, his mood became more and more unstable. Long-term insomnia and nightmares caused his condition to recur, and he has not yet fully recovered.

"Gabriel," Will sat down in front of the boy, and spoke after a long time of deliberation, "Maybe you don't know yet...Jack asked me to tell you, I hesitated for a long time before whether to say...we found you Parents."

"What?" Gabriel showed a puzzled expression, as if he didn't hear clearly, he asked again, "What did you just say?"

"I mean...Jack found out that Hannibal fiddled with the adoption records, there was a kid named Gabriel in Florida who was raised in a orphanage, but he was adopted by another couple... ...That's not you, Gabriel." Seeing the fragile expression on the boy's face, and the first fluctuations in the beautiful blue eyes, Will felt a pain in his heart, and he said slowly, "Jack suspects you It was abducted by Hannibal, so I registered your information in the missing children, I didn't expect that after a month, I really got something."

"A couple contacted us and said that they might be your biological parents. They lost a five-year-old boy more than ten years ago. Although they are not sure, many characteristics can match. Do you... want to meet? They?" Under the boy's staring eyes, Will was a little restless, originally it was better for Alana to talk about this kind of thing, he was really not good at comforting people.

But Alana doesn’t know what she’s doing recently, she’s very busy every day, and before Jack suspected Gabriel, it turned out that Gabriel had nothing to do with Hannibal’s crime. Gabriel will go to Minnesota Because I saw Hannibal's ticket purchase record on the computer, I followed it because I thought there was a problem.But in a short period of time, Jack felt that he had better not appear in front of Gabriel, and couldn't find a suitable candidate, so Jack had to bring Will here.

"..." Gabriel was silent. He lowered his head and looked at his pale palms trembling slightly. He felt flustered for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. If the investigation continues, will it be true this time?Or just an ordinary pair of parents who have lost their child, grabbing him at the wrong straw?

Gabriel didn't want to find his biological parents, he had let go of them ever since Hannibal cut off the past for him, no matter what kind of unavoidable difficulties his biological parents found someone to pretend to be, Gabriel didn't want to recognize them again. They, giving him a fake family relationship is no different from abandoning him.

"If you don't want to see, Gabriel, it's no big deal haha." Will laughed dryly, Gabriel's long silence made him very uncomfortable, he was worried about the boy, Abigail was dead, he felt It was his duty to protect the boy in front of him, and now they only had each other.

"Where are they?" Gabriel raised his head, showing an ugly smile, with anticipation and fear in his eyes, "I want to see them."

"It's in Baltimore, they came here a few days ago, you can see them anytime!" Will heaved a sigh of relief, patted Gabriel on the shoulder, he got up and said, "I'll go and inform, the time is set at what time?"

"Don't worry, my body has fluctuated a bit these days, and my complexion is not very good. I'll decide in a few days." Gabriel smiled and joked, "I want them to think I'm a vampire."

"Haha, if you wear a three-piece suit and a cloak, and your hair is waxed and combed back, it really looks like..." Will thought of Hannibal as he spoke, and couldn't laugh anymore, Gabriel coughed again When he got up, he quickly made him drink water and helped him to lie down.

While Will went to visit Gabriel, Jack went to see Hannibal, through the iron gates and guards, and the FBI director met the psychiatrist who had been the elegant gentleman.He was wearing a gray prison uniform, and his hair, which had been neatly combed and pomaded before, was loose. He sat in the cell not so elegantly.

"Hello, Hannibal." Jack greeted, the man raised his head and looked at him indifferently.

"Hello, Jack, are you still here for interrogation today?" Hannibal showed the same smile as usual, as if chatting with an old friend.

"Your interrogation is over, although you didn't say anything." Jack frowned. Hannibal's silence always made him feel strange, and it seemed that something was wrong. "There are five days before your trial, before the judge." Silence will not save your life, and the judge will convict you even before the evidence."

"So what are you here for today?" Hannibal ignored Jack's threat, he stood up and walked to the iron fence, looked at Jack who was three meters away, and said with a smile, "You will never come to fight me." Did you say hello?"

"I'm here to tell you that in addition to the crime of murder, you will also be prosecuted for the crime of abducting children," Jack said coldly, showing a disgusted expression, and then said, "Gabriel was not adopted by you, right? We have found evidence that you tampered with the adoption certificate, and with any luck, you will lose custody of Gabriel."

"Gabriel will return to his parents."

Jack waited for a long time, but before Hannibal could say anything, he looked up at the unmoved former psychiatrist, and was very disappointed with his performance, so he turned and left without looking at Hannibal again.

Hannibal stood there, his eyes did not follow Jack's back, he stood motionless for a long time, so long that he was about to become a sculpture, he raised his hand to caress the iron fence in front of him, and squeezed tightly with his fingers Iron bars, because of too much force, his knuckles turned white.

There was still no change on his face, but anger was rolling in his heart. After a while, he let go of his hand, walked back to the bed and sat down like a normal person, and uttered a word silently.

"Gabriel is my angel, no one can take him away."

The author has something to say:

Gabriel really doesn't care about his parents. In his opinion, he is really abandoned. Compared with his biological parents, he actually prefers to be with Hannibal

ps: How about Gabriel with long hair?It will be very beautiful [idiot face]
