Hannigram

Chapter 40

Will was the first to pull away, he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly,  he never expected that. Dean didn't say anything, he just stood there and waited for Will to have the first word but Will didn't know what to say.

"Coffee again tomorrow?" Will finally said, breaking the silence. Dean noddd and they said there good byes. Will decided not to stop back at the hospital and just went straight home. He knew that the detective would ring him if necessary.

When he got home, Will skipped food and went straight for a shower. He hadn't done so since yesterday and just wanted to feel clean so when the steaming water hit his back he let out a small groan as his muscles started to relax. It was then he noticed he was exhausted. He stood in the shower for another 10 minuets washing his hair and just enjoying it and then grabbed a towel and fell straight into bed and was asleep as soon as his head hit his pillow.

It was a restful sleep, however, as he tossed and turned to the images of poor Hannibal and his dad. The fear they felt and the pain Hannibal went hough when he was stabbed meant the Will did not sleep as well as he had hoped and awoke drenched in sweat. He was kind of thankful he fell asleep in just a towel because somehow in the night the towel ended up under him and most of the sweat had soaked in there.
It was 4am and he decided not to go back to sleep because he had to be up soon anyways.

Instead he got clothes on and decided to let his dogs out in the garden. It was still dark so he just watched the dogs run around, disappearing near the end of the garden and the reappearing when they ran close. They were outside for about 10 minuets before they all gathered near Will and started barking at the end if the garden. It startled Will who was lost in thought, and his head instantly snapped up trying to see in the dark.
He couldn't see anything but decided not to investigate. He knew better than to look around in the dark, so he decided to call his dogs back inside and lock the door til like sun rose. Wills dogs didn't move from the back door, growling every now and again. Will was on edge from the dream and this really wasn't helping him and he contemplated calling the detective. Grabbing the card he got from his pocket, he walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. He stared at it for a while
'DETECTIVE C. NOVAK' written on it in bold with a number at the bottom. Suddenly there was a large bang and the dogs went crazy, Will jumped up grabbing his phone and he ran upstairs while typing the number, stumbling a few times. He called his dogs who followed quickly afterwards but stopped at the top of the stairs still growling. Will sat in darkness looking through the banister as his phone rang in his ear.

"Hello?" Came a sleepy voice, Will instantly recognised it as Detective Novak.
"P...please. There is somebody t...trying to get in. Please come quickly" Will voices shook. Will heard him clear his voice.
"Who is this?" The detective asked more coherently this time.
"W..Will Graham" he said. Another big bang, this time at the door. "He's trying to get in! Please help me!"
"OK. OK. Tell me where you are" Novak said with more urgency. Another bang. Followed by another and another. Getting more and more frequent. Will reeled off his address while moving to the bathroom, bring his dogs with him. He clicked the door locked, phone still at his ear. Will prayed his dogs would stay quiet as they hid in the cramped bathroom.
There was a crack of the door breaking downstairs and Will let out a whimper.
"Please..." he said quieter than ever
"I'm on my way with back up shortly behind" Novak said slightly out of breath. Will presumed it was from moving so quickly. He dared not staying anymore as he heard footsteps coming down the hall and reach the stairs.
The familiar creek of the second step caused Will to held his breath, but it also made the dogs bark.
The footsteps moved quicker
