A sigh can be heard. Y/n looked to the side seeing evident frustration on Jack's face.  "I hope this boy tells us everything and doesn't hide anything."

Y/n shot him another side eye, almost defensively, with a slight edge she said, "He's not a criminal, Jack. He's just a kid who's been dragged into this. You can't expect him to just confess on command."

Jack then looked at her, raising an eyebrow.
"He knows something. And if we don't get him to open up, more kids are going to get hurt."

A soft sigh, a mix of frustration and exhaustion she let out as she replied, "We don't even know if there is more groups of them. But pushing him too hard isn't going to help anyone. He's already been through enough. If we want him to talk, we need to—" she catches herself, trying to steady her voice. "—we need to approach this carefully. Treat him like a victim, not a suspect."

Hannibal by their side hearing, eventually cut in, in his usual calm tone. "Sometimes, people are more willing to share their truths when they feel they are heard, rather than when they are coerced."

Y/n  knew that Hannibal also knows Jack feels better on his insights. So, with a glance shot towards Hannibal, then back to Jack, biting her lower lip just a little where the tip of her teeth touched.. she was clearly tired and not too emotionally attached to deal with anyone but simply wants to rest. "I'm just saying... we've been chasing shadows. We need to understand why he's involved, not just force him into a corner."

Jack noticed her self-soothing attempt and with a sigh of his own exhaustion, softening just a little he said, "I get it, Y/n. But time's running out, and this kid might be the key to everything. We can't afford to waste it."

"Then let's not waste it on him. Let's give him a reason to trust us before we make him feel like a criminal. Isn't that the parodical?"

Jack simply stared at her and with a defeated nod he said, "Fine. But if he's holding out, I'm not going easy on him."

Y/n almost with a slightly visible frown and more quietly, to herself, almost muttering as she looks ahead she said, "We'll see."

Hannibal caught it as his eyes had been more on her than usual. This exhausted and very annoyed version of her.. he wanted to poke more.

They walked to the interrogation door but before Jack touched the door Knox, Y/n stopped him. He looked up at her with a look of confusion and she said, "I think it's best if Dr. Lecter and I question him for now. While you step in the small room and hear and see us through the two-way mirror."

It seemed like Jack wanted to protest but looked at the side to Hannibal then back at Y/n with a small nod and made his way to the other door.
Y/n took a small moment before looking at Hannibal.

"Do you know how to deal with children," she asked.

"Would it surprise you if I said, yes," he questioned her back.

She took a moment never breaking his eye contact. "Be my guest."

She gestured him to go first but it only made him appear a small smile on his lips and gestured her to go in first. She looked at him for a bit but then reached for the door knob and went inside leaving the door open for Hannibal.
