OUR LITTLE FAMILY

013

"Ahhhhh yes Bedelia Du Maurier your psychiatrist.  Now I remember . You mentioned her before.  "Will said with realization and looked over hannibal who just sat there vacantly

"What's up? Your more quite than normal. "Will asked looking back tk the road .

"Why didnt you accspted Alanas advances? Hannibal asked

Will chuckled "really?? After that long silence you ask me this ? Isn't it obvious? It's because Am not interested in her "

"Why not? Alana Bloom is a very respected psychiatrist and does care for Abigail and You. "

"Where is this  conversation going ? "Will asked

"I...........I beleive I don't have much time Will. The flashes of lights are getting too often. I feel like I am not here but some where else far away . If I do go and never come back .............then what ? Abigail needs two parents Will . We cannot denied her that . "

Will drove silently.  Never before did it cross his mind that He could be left alone again.

"She avoided being alone in a room with me ever since we met, due to her professional curiosity. Jack saw me as a fine China cup while she saw me as as broken one . I will never be good enough for her hannibal ...........and in some way she won't be good enough   for Abigail. Only we know Abigail and her secrets.  I don't wanna risk getting it out. Even ................if your gone I will be enough for our little girl.  " wil said driving ahead.

He was supposed to go home after Jack came to the school to investigate. But Wil took a detour and went to give Dr Beledia a visit as hannibal  sat there silently .

Beledia looked out the window as a van came into her parking lot . She watched curiously as a guy with brown curled hair and glasses came out of it.

"Will Graham. Its almost time. "Bedelia said sipping her wine.

"Were you waiting for me Dr Du Maurier?" Will asked confused.

"Yes .......and no. Come inside ,Willlium. We have a lot to discuss . "

"Abigail. My daughter is missing ." Will said looking at her closely

Bedelia paused before sitting on her chair. "And I assure you I have nothing to do with it."

"Don't you? Then why did she write down your name before she was taken ."Will held out the piece of paper.

"All I know Willium is that hannibal was interested in you .........obsessively. " bedeila whispered out causing Will to winch

"Well........on the night of his  death he .....had came to me. "Bedelia confessed

"Why ? And didn't you inform the authorities?"

"Because he knows something.  Something I had done long time ago but still carry the burden. He came to me with a patients file. He seemed threatened. He said if something was to ever happen to his family the file had the answer. "

"Dr du Maurier may I have the file please ."Will asked getting impatient. So hannibal did know something was going to happen.

"I had accidentally killed a patient willium. Years ago. He was deranged . He attacked me and I killed him. Where you stood. Hannibal helped me dispose the body. " bedelia admitted

"I have no doubt he did .I.........why are you telling me this ?"

Bedelia shrugged. "What do you know about soul mates Willium ?"she asked looking around her large bookcase .

Will looked at him confused
"What ? I don't beleive in that non sense. "

"You don't?" Bedelia asked amused. "Hannibal always talked about the concept of soul mates. Not many people have one , and only few of them do meet ." Bedelia said

"Yea? And how do they know ?"Will asked amused

"Only on edge of life or a life threatening situation. "Bedelia looked at Will "You do see him don't you ?"

Will froze in place and looked over at hannibal who was now looking slightly more transparent than usual.

"I had a visitor before you. A lovely Japnese Women . Made some lovely tea. She confirmed my theroy of soul mate and so did you eyes and body posture just now."Bedelia said

"Listen lady. I am here for my daughter nor for a fortune telling show or my past life hocus pocus. I will deal with it one thing at a time . Abigail comes first."
Will said extending his hand for the file.
When he looked back at Hannibal the man was gone he looked around the room
Nothing

"Even if it was true. Who needs a soul mate?? Just so the bastard can haunt you for ever after it's death." Will gritted out no longer feeling hannibals presence.

"I had a soul mate too Willium . "Bedelia whispered out. "I did find him. The only problem was he never recognised me. " she said looking deep inside his eyes."I had to kill him with my own hands."

Will gluped loudly as the blond women sat down.

"But no I am not haunted by him. Because there are no such thing as ghost. ............if you can still see him that means he is not dead yet. "

Bedelias words rang inside Wills ears as he too sat down shaken
'Hannibak wasn't dead? Where was he ?where is he ?"

"Stay with me will . Don't pass out yet. We have a lot to talk about. Your a curious specimen in the field of psychology. I would like to have a talk with you. "Bedelia said pouring out wine

"Let's start with betrayer and betrayed."
