p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Hannibal paid for Fynn's lawyer and she got off on self-defense. They continued to date until he graduated a few months later, way earlier than everyone else. He started a psychiatry practice as she finished her degree. When Kalisi started dating Todd and moved in with him, Fynn decided to move in with Hannibal off campus in his condo. She didn't have family and Kalisi was so busy with Todd and school that Hannibal became the only person in Fynn's life that she really knew. Things were wonderful, he was romantic every single day and she felt like her life was a dream. She became very busy with school, but she finally graduated and started working as a forensic psychologist for the FBI. She got along with the people she worked with but didn't let them into her personal life, she somehow sensed that Hannibal wouldn't like it. They had their own little cocoon of happiness and didn't need anyone else. She barely talked about work and Hannibal didn't talk about any of his patients, until he did. One of them became very special to him and he talked about him after every session the patient had. Hannibal didn't tell her the patient's name, making a small attempt to keep his oath./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" At work, they brought in a special inspector and profiler to work with Fynn on a new case. The newest serial killer known as the 'Chesapeake Ripper' gave them the most trouble they had ever seen. Jack Crawford brought a man into Fynn's office and introduced him as Will Graham./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You two should get along pretty well," Jack said with no explanation./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn stood and walked over to the man, he had ear length curly brown hair that made him look like he'd just crawled out of bed. His light blue eyes pierced her immediately without warning and she blushed. He seemed just as flustered as her as he attempted to not look at her hourglass figure in her fitted suit. Her hair was kept down and wild unlike the other female agents, who wore updos. She smiled as she shook Will's hand and he laughed lightly and blushed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Nice to meet you," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You too, uhh should we get started?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Have a seat," she motioned to the chair across the desk from hers. He sat and leaned back like he was resting at home watching football or something. He smelled like dogs, but the scent didn't offend her. It wasn't a dirty smell, but he tried to cover it with cologne which was worse than the dog smell./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You have dogs don't you?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He seemed surprised, and laughed, "yes I do, a lot of them actually… why? do I stink?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She smiled, "no, I just have a refined sense of smell… my uhh boyfriend has trained me to notice things like that… I actually love dogs."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He smiled, "me too, do you have any?" he paused, considering something and then continued, "I didn't smell you to find out."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She laughed, "no, we live in a condo, I'm not sure a dog would be a good fit, but I'd love to have one someday."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I have plenty to share, they aren't really 'mine' they are mostly strays that I feed, and they stick around, I can't let them starve," he said. She felt herself smiling more genuinely by each passing moment. She liked him, she liked him a lot. She remembered herself and got started discussing the case and he straightened up and got to business as well, following her lead./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" That evening she sat down to dinner with Hannibal, "how is work?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "It was fine, they brought in a new profiler for the Chesapeake ripper," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh?" he asked, intrigued, "tell me about them."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "His name is Will," she said, "he smelled of dogs but he's very smart."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I see, and do you get along?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She blushed and he cocked his head noticing, she cleared her throat, "he's very kind, a pure empath, they say."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Sounds delightful," he said, sipping his wine./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "How was your day?" she said trying to change the subject./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He grinned, "it was fine, thank you for asking but I'd rather hear more about this Will."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What more is there to say?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You tell me," he said. She shook her head and shrugged so he continued, "do you find him attractive… sexually?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She sighed, "Hannibal, really?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I'd like to know," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I expected you to be above petty jealousy," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I am not jealous, I am curious," he said, "besides, do you not belong to me?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Well yes," she sighed, "you know I'd never betray you."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I'm not talking about whether or not you'd act on it, I know you well enough to trust you completely, I am simply asking if you desire him," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She felt like she wanted to lie but she couldn't, his intense brown eyes wouldn't allow it, "there was a little attraction, but we were both completely professional."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "It was mutual?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I think so, yes," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "How could it not be, if he's sexually inclined to women, you're the most stunning creature on earth," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She smiled then swallowed, "are you mad?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Of course not, I appreciate your honesty," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"The next day Hannibal called her from work, which was highly unusual, "we are having a guest for dinner, I am sending over a new dress for you to wear and please cut some flowers, arrange them appropriately, this is a special dinner," he said. This was even more unusual because they never had company in their home. Even when Hannibal hosted dinner parties, he did so in special hotel suites. He didn't like people in his private space and he especially didn't like for people he knew to be alone with her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" When someone knocked on the door she was surprised because Hannibal wasn't home yet. She was already ready for dinner, in the light green cocktail dress Hannibal had sent home, so she answered the door. Hannibal stood there grinning and then she saw why. Will Graham was standing behind him looking around like a lost puppy. When he saw Fynn his mouth dropped open./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Hannibal sauntered in and kissed her cheek whispering, "I brought you a present."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She was too stunned to respond, and Will walked in, "Fynn? What are you doing here?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You two know each other then?" Hannibal asked smiling at them, "darling this is Will Graham, one of my patients, the one I've told you all about."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" They were both too shocked to catch that he'd just admitted to breaking the hypocritic oath./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Honey, this is Will, my partner on the ripper case," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Ah… well… it's a small world after all," Hannibal said, as if it really was a coincidence of which, he was unaware./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" When they didn't say anything Hannibal said, "I will start dinner, you two can get more acquainted." He seemed delighted, almost giddy./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn pushed her hair behind her ear nervously, "uh hi," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will chuckled adorably, "hello again, I haven't seen you in," he looked at his watch, "forty-five minutes. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Would have been fifty if Jack talked faster," she joked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will laughed and took her arm and they walked into the living room together, Hannibal stood at the kitchen counter watching them. He served them drinks and winked at Fynn, and she tilted her head in confusion. What did he want to come from this? Was he just messing with them both? She and Will sipped wine and talked and laughed like they were on a date, which made her nervous because she knew Hannibal was watching their every move even though he seemed focused on dinner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He served them an Italian inspired meal out on the balcony, it was spring, and the scent of flowers filled the air. Hannibal had an amazing garden, full of flowers, herbs and fresh vegetables. He had taught Fynn about cutting flowers right and arranging them and growing all the types of plants. They discussed old films, a subject they all three had in common. Hannibal was a perfect conversationalist and could pinpoint which subjects to break the ice with. Eventually the conversation got more personal./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Hannibal tells me you are the strongest empath he's ever seen," Fynn said, "that should really help us with this case."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will blushed, "I hope so, I hear it's been a tough one."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Fynn is quite the empath herself, but I do believe you may have her beat," Hannibal said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn narrowed her eyes at him but didn't say anything. Will wiped his mouth with a napkin, "well I don't know about that, I know she is very important to this case."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "But she doesn't have your sense of justice," Hannibal grinned./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn sighed, "I believe in morality over legality and Hannibal doesn't agree," she explained./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "No, I agree with you personally darling, it's just not how you catch criminals, isn't that your job?" Hannibal said, he leaned forward toward Will, "she has a bad habit of making excuses for serial killers."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Not excuses, reasons, I like to figure out their reasoning, I mean isn't that also our job… all of us? Discovering the reasons people do the things they do?" Fynn said. Then she also leaned toward Will, "Hannibal doesn't believe in forgiveness."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will looked bewildered as Hannibal laughed, "I prefer the old testament style of old-fashioned reven-…" he cleared his throat, "justice."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What do you think Will?" Fynn asked batting her eyelashes at him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Umm… I'm sorry Fynn but I'm going to have to side with Hannibal on this one, I mean sure compassion is great if you are arresting a shoplifter, you know someone who is starving, stealing bread but when it comes to the men we are hunting… well there's no forgiving monsters," Will said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Monster hunting? Is that what you call it?" Hannibal asked, amused./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn laughed, "I'm going to ask Jack to put that on my door."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Fynn Lecter, monster hunter," Hannibal said, giving a quick eyebrow raise./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh, I didn't realize you two were married," Will said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Not legally, we are bonded far beyond simple legal papers," Hannibal said. Fynn smiled at him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will laughed, "wait… I'm confused…were you two not just fighting?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" They laughed at the same time and Fynn put her hand on Will's, "not at all, debating is our foreplay."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "In a healthy relationship it is important to disagree respectfully, remember that Will," Hannibal said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I'll try that next time," he said, he looked down where Fynn's hand was still on his and blushed. She patted his hand and put hers back on her lap./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "So, how are you coming along with catching this… ripper?" Hannibal asked him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I don't know if we should discuss the case over dinner," Will said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Fynn won't discuss it with me, like you do," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You do?" Fynn looked at Will./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He shifted in his seat, "well he's umm… I asked him what he thought, this was during my own personal interest in the case before Jack brought me on, I umm I…" he stammered./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn laughed, "relax, I'm not going to tattle on you," she turned her attention to Hannibal, "besides I think you could contribute a lot of insight honey."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I would love to offer my services to either of you," Hannibal said. They were both saying so much more than what was on the surface though they were on entirely different subjects. After dinner Hannibal showed Will his art room and they drank wine while Fynn cleaned up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I can help wash the dishes," Will said coming back into the kitchen alone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She smiled at him, "you're the guest, you're not supposed to work."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "And you're wearing a Givenchy cocktail dress, I'm sure they didn't intend for it to be paired with rubber gloves."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh, the gloves are Givenchy too," she whispered, giggling. He looked confused and she said, "joking." They were laughing when Hannibal walked into the room with his hands behind his back, he looked them over./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh," Will stepped away from Fynn nervously when he noticed Hannibal staring at them, "I should probably go."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Very well," Hannibal said. Hannibal showed him out and Fynn stayed at the sink washing the dishes. When she was done she went to look for Hannibal. He was out on the balcony looking out over the bay./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Hey there," she said from the doorway./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Come to me," he said without turning around. She walked over and he lifted one arm so she could squeeze in between the brick side of the balcony and his body. She leaned over on the railing and he leaned into her, resting his chin on her head./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "The bay is inspiring on a night like this, look how the moon glistens on the water like a flock of birds dancing in the air," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I love it," she breathed, "listen, about Will…"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I like him," he interrupted./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You do?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Don't you?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Well… yea but…" she turned to face him, "why did you do this?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He stared down at her, "curiosity… I wanted to see you together."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She giggled, "why?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You like him, you have this carefree way about you with him, like you don't have with me, he makes you feel safe and cared for," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Don't talk like that, I love you and I don't want him, I just think he's sweet and… yea he's cute but he's not you," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "He's certainly not," he said. She didn't know what he meant by that, but she kissed him. He kissed her back and they made love on the balcony. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Over the next few weeks Fynn and Will got closer at work and he came over for dinner several nights a week. They all three enjoyed each other's company and even went out to the theatre together. The ripper case had gone cold, he hadn't killed anyone for a while which was good but also not so good for catching him. Will was frustrated, Fynn was relieved./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Sometimes they stop for decades," Fynn told him one evening when they were all out for drinks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Let's hope he hasn't done that," Will said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Why? I mean isn't the overall goal, less victims?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Will wants justice not peace," Hannibal said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "No justice, no peace," Will said, drinking the last of his bourbon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Hannibal grinned and Fynn sighed, they ganged up on her like this a lot, and she loved them for it, but it also frustrated her. Maybe she was in the wrong profession. They finished their drinks and walked to 'cypriana' for dinner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "This is where Hannibal took me on the day we met," she told Will./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "That's impressive, didn't you meet in college?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Yea well you know him," she said. They were walking arm in arm and Hannibal walked behind them. She looked back at him and he smiled at her. Fynn had on a purple sundress and white shoes and hat. The host took her hat and seated them outside at Hannibal's favorite table. Hannibal pulled out her chair and moved it very close to his before she sat in it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will sat across from them, he looked very out of place with his disheveled looks and messy attire. She wondered why Hannibal liked him so much considering he didn't worry at all about appearances. Maybe it was something he secretly admired./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "On a proper date, one uses food as foreplay," Hannibal said taking a strawberry from their fruit plate and feeding it to Fynn. He watched Will's reaction to her taking it into her mouth. Will shifted in his seat and cleared his throat. Fynn swallowed and looked at Will who was watching her lips despite his attempts not to./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Listen to him Will, if you take his advice you will have women eating out of your hands too," she teased. He blushed and took a grape and ate it to avoid responding./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Do you have a lover Will?" Hannibal asked him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He shifted again, "umm no, no well not at the moment."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Is that because you are enamored with my wife?" Hannibal asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Hannibal!" Fynn shouted./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What? No… I mean I'm not…" Will started to stand up and Hannibal held out his hand for him to sit back down and Will did, like he was a trained dog./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I am not angry, I understand, she's… everything," Hannibal said looking at her and taking her hand. She was too shocked and confused to say anything else. Hannibal continued starting into her eyes, "I love her with all that I am, and I would give her anything she desires, and one thing she desires is you…"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Now wait, I" she started but he held up his other hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "There is no use in either of you denying it, I have decided that you will act on your desires, psychically to get it out of your systems," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You've decided?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I don't know about this," Will said, looking bewildered./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Is there a problem?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Yes, it's a big problem, I'm not going to cheat," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I know you wouldn't, that's why I am giving you permission, I want you to have everything you want, you shouldn't bury your impulses, enjoy life," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Maybe I should go," Will said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I know it's not socially acceptable but if we are all consenting adults I don't see a problem," Hannibal said, "don't come to a decision yet, let's have dinner and you can think it over."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn sighed and looked at Will, he shrugged and tried not to look like he was considering it. Then he bit his lip and she felt a pang of want, "fine, I'll think about it."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Hannibal made the dinner as sensual as possible, feeding Fynn in order to tempt Will, like it was some kind of game to him. Maybe he was crazy or maybe he was into it himself. He took a bit of cream on his finger and had Fynn lick it off. Will watched out of the corner of his eye. She had a bit left on her lip and Hannibal kissed it away slowly from the side, she watched Will as he watched this. After dinner no one agreed or disagreed to anything, they all just walked to Hannibal's car and drove back to the condo./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" When they got inside they all sat in the living room, but Hannibal took Fynn by the hands and pulled her over to the kitchenette. He got something out of a drawer and put it on the counter./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What's that?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "THC tablets, to loosen you both up," he said. He put one on the tip of his finger and walked her around to where Will could see them. He stood behind her and unzipped her dress. He pulled her strap off one shoulder and started kissing her neck, she leaned back into him. Will sat on the couch, watching and not saying anything. Hannibal instructed her to hold out her tongue and he placed the tablet in her mouth, and she took it. He kissed her deep and pulled her dress off of her. She wasn't wearing a bra, just white panties and her heels. He spun her around as if displaying her to Will. Will stood up and walked toward them. Hannibal handed Fynn another tablet and she held it between her fingers. She put it out for Will, and he took her fingers in his mouth swallowing the pill. She put her hand on the back of his neck and through his hair and he kissed her. She pulled her hand back and started to unbutton his wrinkled shirt. Hannibal had his hands on her hips and started massaging her lower back with his thumbs. She moaned into Will's mouth as she took his shirt off of him. He wasn't built as muscular as Hannibal but he still had a toned stomach. Hannibal pushed her forward gently, so she pushed Will back over to the couch where he sat down. She straddled him and started to undo his pants as they kissed passionately. Hannibal walked over and sat beside him. Fynn stopped kissing Will for a moment to smile at Hannibal who grinned back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Take your shirt off too," she told him. He did as she asked, and she leaned over and kissed him for a moment. He put his hand on her back and she returned to Will who was now struggling with her panties. Hannibal took out his pocketknife and cut them off of her in a swift motion./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Thanks," Will whispered, too caught up in his passion to reconsider how unusual it was. Fynn giggled as she kissed Will's neck. He entered her and she moaned, Will put his head between her breasts as she rode him. Hannibal rubbed her back slowly as she held onto Will's head. She leaned back and Hannibal held her up with one hand and started touching her with the other. They both watched her as she moaned. She put her hand on the back of Hannibal's head and pulled him into a kiss. He kissed her and then kissed her neck and chest and started sucking on her breast as she started to finish. Will moved under her rapidly and started moaning. After they were done Hannibal told Will to follow them to his bedroom. She laid on the bed and Will got on top of her this time and Hannibal got beside her. She grabbed Hannibal inside his pants and felt his hardness, he was enjoying this. He took his clothes off and watched them, she took him in her hands to help him. He didn't speak or moan, just watched. Will was passionate and gentle, he didn't have Hannibal's expert knowledge of her body or what she liked but his empathy to her needs made it almost seem like he had a psychic ability to please her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Is this what you wanted?" Hannibal asked her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I love it," she moaned./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Are you pleased?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Yes, it's so good," she moaned, and Hannibal finished. This turned her on more and Will felt her excitement as he finished at the same time as her. She woke up the next morning with her arm across Hannibal's chest. Will had his arms wrapped around her naked body spooning her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What the hell?" she groaned./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"She heard Will groan behind her, and he rolled over on his back, "oh fuck what did we do?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Hannibal stirred and opened his eyes. She felt caught for a second before she remembered this was his idea. He got up and got some clothes on, "I'll make us breakfast," he said cheerfully./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Is this normal behavior for him?" Will asked after Hannibal left the room./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "There is no 'normal' with him," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Are you okay?" he said, she turned and looked at him and he looked concerned./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She smiled, "I'm fine, I mean it's a little weird, but you were amazing." She rubbed his shoulder and he moaned softly./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You are…hmm," he said biting his lip, then he shook his head, "no you're my coworker and best friend's wife." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Best friend?" she giggled./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Well I don't have many… I'm kind of an outcast and I'm kind of… weird," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I think we have you beat on that," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He sighed and nodded, then got up, "where are my clothes?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She giggled, "all over the condo."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Will you go get them?" he asked frantically./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She laughed, "relax, the damage is done now, he's seen you naked."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "But in the daylight…" he trailed off. She sighed and got up and put on a sleeping gown. He watched her body and she smiled at him. She went out and gathered his clothes, Hannibal watched her carefully./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "He is a little embarrassed," she said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "He'll get used to it," Hannibal said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What? This wasn't a one-time thing?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "It's whatever we want it to be," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "You and me? Or all of us?" she asked. He just grinned at her. Once Will was dressed he rushed out to go home and get ready for work. Fynn got ready and Hannibal asked her to have lunch with him at one o'clock. She agreed and they went off to work./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Later as they worked at her desk, after catching Will staring at her all morning several times Fynn stood up. She walked around her desk and shut the door./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "What is it?" she asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Nothing, I just," he didn't finish./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Remembering last night?" she teased./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Yea," he sighed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She walked over and sat on her desk in front of him. He stood and leaned closer to her, "I just-I want to touch you again, I want to kiss you without anyone around."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh really?" she said putting one leg around him, he moaned. She was wearing a skirt and she pulled it up to expose herself to him. He leaned forward and rested his forehead on hers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Would you be in trouble if we did this… without him?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I don't know… but someone once told me that I love danger," she breathed. Their lips met and they started frantically kissing. She undid his belt and pants and he moved her panties to the side, and she wrapped her legs around his waist./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I have to lock the door," he said./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "No, I like this," she bit his ear and he had no choice but to continue as she wished. She moved against him and pulled him to her so she could see over his shoulder. She looked at the clock and smiled. A few moments later the door opened, and Hannibal walked in./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh shit," Will said jumping back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Will…" Hannibal said, closing the door behind him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Fynn sat calmly on the desk, "hi honey," she said. She hopped up and walked over and they kissed on the cheeks European style. Will tried to get his pants up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I've come to take you to lunch," Hannibal said to her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh that's right, you did say one o'clock didn't you?" she said feigning innocence./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will stopped fighting with his belt and looked at her, "you knew?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She shrugged. Hannibal turned to her, "she surprised me as well."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Am I in trouble?" she asked him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" He grinned, "were you finished, or should I wait?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" She looked at Will and he shook his head, "I can't after that."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "I guess we are done," she told Hannibal with a shrug./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" "Oh? Well, Will would you like to join us for lunch?" he asked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Will looked at them bewildered and then threw up him arms in defeat, "why not?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" Things continued like that for a few months and they all three got closer and closer. Hannibal and Will even became more than friends in the process. They visited Will's cabin on some weekends. One weekend at Will's Fynn found a mother dog who had just given birth. She helped Will clean and take care of the pups. She begged Hannibal for one, but he didn't think it would be practical. No one at work knew about her relationship to Will or Hannibal. Hannibal started consulting professionally on the case as well. Which made them all even closer since their professional and private lives were all the same. They even asked Will to join them on their yearly summer trip to Paris, but he couldn't get time off the same days as Fynn, so they went alone.
