Hannibal is a well known but hard to prove con artist, he lures the rich and upper class into traps, convincing them that they are insane then watching the madness unfold from there. It was an enjoyment of his- a secret pleasure and an itch that would never scratch till he got more.. and more.

And Will Graham- though he may not be part of the upper class caught Hannibal's eye one day and ever since then the other has been obsessed with him. Will is apart of the police force and he's well adapted to his field of work, which is something Hannibal admired and wanted to use.

So one day, Hannibal decided to be a friendly shoulder- so to call it, for Will and invited him back to his place for a drink. Will as naive yet clever he is accepted the offer and now sat in the living room opposite the man believed to be a con artist.

Now it was sure that Will knew of the rumours spreading around about Hannibal- I mean who didn't? So upon entering his place, Will's mind switched to detective mode though discreetly, he sat with the man, chatted with him and drank with him all like normal but still something lingered in the back of his mind- a temptation to try and find some sort of evidence against the other.

And Will finally saw his opportunity when Hannibal excused himself to go the bathroom, once sure that he was gone, Will sprung from his seat and began searching through papers laying around the place. Most seemed to be innocent enough drawings- some of buildings, some portraits and recreated paintings. When finally something caught his eye

A small drawing of a recent crime scene, the body drawn though not with any given features of said victim, had the exact same wounds drawn and weapons used. Though Will could not investigate further once a hand was around his mouth and another holding his hip tightly. After some struggling, Will eventually gave up giving Hannibal time to talk

"Now that you've seen too much- I cant let you go." He murmued. "So I'll give you an offer. Join me or die.. What will it be, Will?"
