Summary
“What is f—” Will forced himself to bite his tongue, trying to swallow against the dryness in his mouth. “What is wrong with you? You can’t just hold me captive, people will find out.”
“Do you truly think that anyone will wonder where you have gone?” Hannibal asked in a soft, almost sweet voice. “That isolated man who loathes social interaction, living alone in the woods. I imagine it’s terribly easy for one’s mental health to dwindle in such a state. How many men like you do you think go missing and never turn up, Will? Having hurled themselves off of a bridge somewhere when the loneliness became too much."

In an Alternative Universe, Will is not called upon by Jack to help the FBI, but he still teaches. When Alana somehow manages to convince him to join her for after-work drinks, she introduces him to her elusive old mentor, Dr Hannibal Lecter, who decides that he must have Will by any means necessary, which is exactly how Will finds himself waking up in a concrete cellar.
