Taylor In Baltimore

Chapitre 1

Baltimore, State Hospital For The Criminally Insane, 14h06 Frederick Chilton office.

After the long lunch break he took daily, Frederick used to spend time on the internet or read magazines. In fact he's always doing everything to avoid working for real.

Today the "Doctor" Chilton found an article that kept his attention: "Taylor Swift let her fans choose the place for her special concert".

The hospital administrator, who he not specially a fan of Swift, swear to him he wouldn't give up this chance to put his hospital in the spotlight.

He was already seeing himself answering to journalists, he would talk about his autobiography, his love for culture and music, he could even say that he care about the conditions of detention of his patients and it's why he love that they could enjoy this amazing concert. Frederick thoughts are interrupted by someone knocking on his door:

"who is it ?

In an elegant suit, Hannibal Lecter enters in the office

- Hello Doctor Chilton, I come to see him unfortunately they won't let me for the reason that you forgot to sign the authorization, again.

- I did not receive anything

That was a lie he receive it but was too lazy to actually sign it and give it back to the security. However Frederick will never accept that he is wrong.

- But you know me I am gentle you can see him.

Frederick take a paper in his higher drawer, write something quickly and ended up stamping it.

- Hopefully you will be better organize next week."

The Doctor Lecter now knows the hospital's corridors by heart, with a quick step, he is joining his close friend.

He is more impatient than the usual, today he will present his plan, finally they'll be able to escape together.

He was planning this for weeks but, he was finally close and so exited to tell him.

"I may not be able to draw correct clocks but I still know how to read them, you're late again Hanni.

-I know Will I apologize it's Chilton again he-

- We just have an hour and he always take half of it I'm sick of it.

Will Graham was bored all week he has nothing to do, no books, no interactions, not a lot of visitors; In fact except his bestie Hannibal, the Doctor Alan Bloom was the only one who still came to visit. The Lack of occupation he has was a form of torture Frederick was proud of.

Will was legitimately more and more irritated by the situation over the weeks and couldn't hide it today.

-Listen to me Will everything will be fine I'm here now."

Lecter has a reassuring tone, he take a paper from his elegant checkered brown jacket and give it to his future roommate.

The fingers of the two colleagues touch, their eyes cross furtively and Will calms down immediately.

They do not talk about the plan that Lecter explains on the note, Frederick could be recording them. Instead the sidekicks talk about the week Hannibal spent, and how the dogs are doing. The time is quickly over but at the moment of leaving each other they are serene, they know that they will be very soon reunited again.
