Different Case

* Not a whole hour later *

~ Will POV ~

I was standing next to Hannibal after my next unsuccessful attempt with the last killed person. I don't know what is blocking me but it annoys me to the bone.

I know that Ara will try to use her empathy on the victim but it could have a very bad effect on her. However, I know that I and Hadrian won't let her go too far with it.

I wouldn't want her to do that, though. I held back a groan when I heard Jack talking, complaining that they were still there without noticing that Hadrian had told us that Arabella was busy with something important and their house was half an hour away.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and relaxed a little knowing that it was Hannibal. I looked at him who was already looking at me I suspected that thinking he would have to get me out of here before I said or did anything to Jack.

Although I couldn't tell by his face I knew Hannibal was angry with him as well. Rian, Ara and he may have only known each other for less than two days and they managed to gain a pretty strong bond surprisingly.

What surprised me more was that Hades, Icarus and Pandora quickly warmed up to him, they are often unsure of the unfamiliar.

'' Where are they Will '' said Jack

'' We are here '' said Ara entering the room where me, Hannibal, Jack, Brian, Beverly and Jimmy were sitting

Alana walked in behind them closing the door behind her. Ara walked up to me before giving me a kiss on the cheek after which Hadrian gave me and Hannibal something wrapped in foil

'' I suspect you are hungry and because of Mr. Not Patient you haven't eaten anything yet today '' he said sitting down next to Hannibal

'' We have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first? '' he added

'' Hit us first with the good ones '' I said

'' I have the meaning of these five symbols: as the first was love, the second protection, the third health and with Vitani's help I know that four is wealth and five is luck. There will also be a sixth which is happines, the seventh is strength, the eighth is wisdom and the ninth is devotion '' replied Ara

'' And bad one? '' asked Hannibal

'' The bad news is that we will conceive of having a psychopath/sociopath on our hands. What I learned from my friend is that the cutting of the vocal cords may not have a row to do with why he o does it but will check it out more thoroughly. Vi has a suspicion that this person or persons cut out the women's vocal cords while they are still alive and only then does he cut out their organs alive '' said Ara

'' The wounds from cutting out the organs are done after the women die '' said Brian

'' But cutting out the vocal cords is done before they die '' continued Jimmy

'' So he likes to inflict suffering on them before they die '' said Hannibal while chewing on a tortilla

'' That's good '' he said

'' Thank you, after years of knowing her we all picked up something from cooking, even Will '' he said

'' Guilt as charge '' I replied while also eating

'' Have you done a review of these people's past? Maybe it would give us a trail if they are following any trail? Did they do something that allowed them to represent the marks that were cut on their skin '' said Arabella

'' I checked them, each person had a clean record. All but the first victim were not in a serious relationship or had no partners '' replied Beverly

'' The first woman person was engaged, the second woman worked as a security guard, the third woman was a doctor, the fourth woman was a banker, The fifth one whose organ was taken away was the only survivor of a car accident '' she continued after pulling out her tablet

'' We need women who represent happiness, strength, wisdom and devotion '' said Alana

'' As wisdom can be considered teachers and lecturers, devotion can be considered police, terrors, paramedics, priests, nuns. Strength and happiness are tricky '' said Ara

'' It also depends on what kind of strength we are talking about, willpower, physical strength or mental strength '' said Hannibal

'' Give me a second, I need to check this one quickly '' she said opening her laptop

'' Physical strength '' I said reading over her shoulder

'' So trainers, police, firefighters, athletes '' said Hadrian

'' I don't know of a job that is related to happiness, giving happiness that are found here '' said Brian

'' That's what's going to be the hardest to find '' said Ara

'' Maybe now I'll try to work my ''magic'' and find at least something that allows you to find them before they kill another woman '' she added looking at me

'' Let's go '' I said leading her to the dissecting room knowing that I won't be able to change her mind. Jimmy and Brian took out the last victim of ripper

'' Anastasia Mores was 25 years old and an only child. Her parents died three years ago in a plane crash. She survived a car accident involving her boyfriend as well as two drunk drivers who were riding in them. The car was hit from his side, and he died while being transported to the hospital. She was in a coma for two months due to a small concussion, three broken ribs, a broken, arm, a cut on her eyebrow and mouth as well as a cut on her right hand '' said Jimmy

'' From where did these animals come from! '' shouted Jack suddenly

'' They were here all the time '' replied Ara pulling off her vest

'' There are a maximum of three people staying with me, Rina has to stay as my psychiatrist and the person who helped me with this most often '' she said looking at Jack

'' I will stay '' I said first

'' I will also stay if Arabella needs medical help '' said Hannibal firmly

'' You can look through the cameras '' said Ara

'' We will look '' said Jack angry before he left with the rest giving us space and peace for Ara to work

'' Nice one right '' said Ara sarcastically

'' Every day your offerts sound better '' I said

'' We offered Will to work with us or we will help him open his business of training and caring for animals mostly dogs '' said Hadrian seeing Hannibal's confused face

'' I think it will be good for you, besides, you love to help and take care of animals '' he said

'' Let's catch him first and see '' I said

'' Are you sure you want to do it no one will say anything if you give up now '' I said

'' I can do it '' she said before she closed her eyes
