After The Fall - Hannigram

What Now?

Hannibal peered his head out onto the deck to try and find the man. "Hello?" Hannibal said looking around. "I'm over here" The man called from the other side of the boat, Hannibal walked over to him. "We can't be taken to a hospital." Hannibal said as he approached. "What? Why you both need medical attention." The man said sternly as he put the crate down and turned to Hannibal. "We need to get to Wolf Trap, Virginia..." The man looked at Hannibal confused. "It's fine, I'm a surgeon." Hannibal said to try and persuade the man. "I just need to get me and my-" Hannibal paused, confused as how to finish that sentence. "Urr friend, I need to get me and my friend there when we reach land, is that possible?" The man sort of nodded his head as to comply with Hannibal. "Okay, yeah. Actually I need to go to Vienna so I'm sure I could get you there. I'll even give you a ride if you want?" Hannibal smiled. "That would be great thank you."

After a few hours sailing down Potomac River they ended up at Mclean bay. "Where is everyone?" Hannibal peered his head out onto the deck. "Well it's 5:30 in the morning, no one is around" The man chuckled to himself. Hannibal went down to see Will they hadn't spoken in a while. Will was stood up near the bed, his face was pale. "Do you need any help?" Hannibal said looking at Will. "No, I'm fine" Will replied, Will took a step forward and stumbled managing to grab the side of the bed before hitting the floor. Hannibal rushed over taking hold of Will's arm pulling him up. Without saying anything Hannibal walked Will up onto the deck. They both looked around to see a empty bay, "You two stay there, I'll go and pull the car around, I don't want you to strain yourself anymore." The man steadied the boat and tied it to the harbour. Hannibal sat Will down as they both watched the man walk away. "What now?" Will said looking up to Hannibal. "We are going to your house." Hannibal said without looking to Will. "What we can't go there, I can't see Molly and Wal-" "No, your real home." Hannibal looked to Will as the realisation spread through his face. The man pulled the car around and Hannibal helped Will into the backseat. As Wolf Trap wasn't far the ride only took 30 minutes from the bay. As Will's house was in site he stared out of the window at the broken farm house. "Is this it?" The man said looking towards Hannibal. "Yes thank you." Hannibal turned around to look at Will but Will's eyes were fixed on the farm house. They pulled up and Hannibal and the man helped Will out of the backseat. Will shut the door and slowly walked towards the door whilst Hannibal and the man stayed at the car. "Thank you for everything." Hannibal said looking the man up and down. "You're welcome, just make sure you look after your friend, he seems unstable..." The man said opening his car door. Hannibal looked back up to Will who was standing outside his front door unable to move. "I will." Hannibal said as the man got back in his car and drove away.

Hannibal walked up the steps and stood next to Will. "What's the matter?" "I just... I don't know. It's harder than it looks." Hannibal reached out and pushed the door open for Will, he stood there a little while longer before taking a few steps in. Will looked down at the dog beds scattered over the floor, he looked across to the bordered up window then down to his clear bed. He walked over to the bed and sat down, Hannibal picked up a blanket from a chair and placed it round Will's shoulders. Will took the blanket and wrapped it around himself grazing Hannibal's hand as he did so. Hannibal sat next to him, shoulders touching. "It will be a while before the FBI get here, at the moment there is no Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham." Hannibal turned to look at Will who was staring blankly straight ahead. "What do we do, where do we go?" Will turned to face Hannibal. "Well the best idea is for you to go home to Molly, Will. I need to disappear somehow, go back to Florence, find somewhere else. You don't need me Will, you have a family." Will's face dropped. Will carefully held Hannibal's hand, Hannibal looked down at their hands touching and held it back. "I'm not going anywhere without you."
