"The shirt! It was them!"
*River moved neurotically in her chair.*
"It was the shirt, Shadi! Don't you understand?"
*River suddenly stopped moving and looked up at the ceiling.*
"Do you hear that? The Four Horsemen."

*Shadi's brow wrinkled in thought.*
"Wait; you're saying this guy was just wearing a shirt that gave him away as the guys who did this to you? That's... River, that's evidence! We can find them, make them put you back!"
*She followed River's gaze to the ceiling, seeing nothing, of course.*
"I don't hear anything. And I don't know any horse men."

((This is a lame plot device on my part, but whatever))
*Claudine rushed down the halls, looking for the coroner. SHe had detected an obvious error in his report on her brother, something which indicated murder rather than suicide. Which room had he gone into? Perhaps this one.
She opened the door and saw that she had been wrong*
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. It seems I opened the wrong door."

*Hannibal stood and approached the woman.*
"Miss, I'm sorry, but you can't be here. This is a closed session."

"Yes, I know. I do apologize."
*Embarassed, she closed the door and continued down the hall*

*River giggled as she looked at the door.*
"Clarice, Clarice, Clarice."
*She suddenly bit her lip and turned back to Shadi.*
"They won't believe us. They won't believe me, I'm a crazy person."
*She lowered her voice.*
"He won't let me go, it's to dangerous for him. I know things, secrets. Sssh don't tell, nice doctor might break your leg."

*Shadi was worried. River didn't seem well. Sure, she was always a little weird, but this... this worried her.*
"But we have to get you out," *she said in hushed tones.* "Does he... does he know, you know?"

"About me? I told him about me, told him his secrets too. He didn't like that."
*River looked up at Shadi and closed her eyes.*
"I have to get out of here. This place hurts. It hurts so much. I can't keep them out, they are all inside of me, talking and dreaming, murdering."
*When she opened her eyes again they were watery.*

*Shadi took River in her arms and glanced around, as if she could stare down the devils that plagued her older sister.*
"Shh. I know. I'll get you out," *she murmured in River's ear.* "I just need to figure out how. This one won't let us out of his sight unless there's some kind of distraction; even then, we won't have much time."
*It was too bad, really, that River hadn't been able to keep the doctor's secrets to herself. He'd be extra careful, now.*

"Scalpel. In his desk."
*River said as she closed her eyes and started to think. In her mind she measured up the room and the people inside of it.*
"You need to grab it, first drawer. Left drawer. You have to be my arms, since they're tied."
*River opened her eyes.*
"Gotta threaten him. Then cut me loose."

*Shadi's reception of the instructions was betrayed only by a slight twitch of her ears. River always knew the lay of the land. She should have remembered.
She wasted an instant kissing River's cheek before darting to the drawer
first drawer on the left
and drawing out the scalpel. In another moment she was behind Lecter, the knife at his throat.*
"Move, and I'll cut you," *she hissed.* "My sister is leaving this place."

*Hannibal’s gaze fixed on River, cold and pitiless. He spoke calmly, as if he wasn’t the least bit concerned by the new development.*
“Ms. Khan, you need to put down the blade. I understand that you are trying to protect someone you care about, but what you are doing…is very disrespectful.”
*He remained perfectly still.*
“I’m giving you one chance to stop this nonsense before I will be forced to drastic action.”

"Disrespectful?" *she spat.* "As if that matters. You're holding my sister hostage for something she can't help."

*In a swift, fluid motion Hannibal disarmed the girl and held the blade to her eye as he pressed her against the wall. His words were eerily detached.* ((I iz samurai!))
"Ms. Khan, I am seeing Ms. Tam kept here for the safety of herself and others. This is not a prison. I am trying to help her. But in the meantime, she stays."
*His eyes were cold and empty.*
"And if you don't stop this immediately, I will see you arrested for assault. This woman is not your sister. She only has one brother. And she is my patient. Let me do my job."
