Summary: Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now. No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations. --- After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.
Recommendation: I don't know why, but for some reason, the hot days of summer usually end up meaning Murder Husbands for me. This was a ride. Will gets out of jail and wants nothing to do with Jack and the FBI nor with Alana and Hannibal. He wants REVENGE. Except he does want Hannibal. Things keep getting in the way as well as forcing them together. *sigh* A wild ride to be sure but a satisfying one.
