Dannies pov
Anxiously, me, My parents and April wait behind the police officers as they bang aggressively on the apartment door announcing themselves to the inhabitants.
"Let us into the apartment sir" one of the officers calls out pounding the door again. Theres slight movement on the other side before the door is opened slightly revealing the same man from the store. Danny - the man who took my friend and brainwashed him with fucking drugs.
I cant stop myself as i leap towards the door fists clutched tightly and yelling like a maniac "where is he, what have you done with him you sicko"
One of the officers grabs ahold of me, pulling me back before i can get to Danny and fucking kill him for what he did to Sydney. the other two barge into the apartment, One of them grabs Danny and pushes him down to the table while the third and Joel search the room franticly, yelling Sydney's name.
The officer lets go of me and April holds onto my hand as we walk into the apartment together my parents not far behind. They thought they would come too to be there for me but also because they are close to Syd, they are practically his parents too.
As soon as we enter the smell hits me . The smell of sweat and drugs, clearly no windows have ever been opened.
April squeezes my hand as we begin to search the apartment together not calling out his name like the others. Im scared that if he hears my voice he definitely wont come out - thats if he's even here.
What if he's not here. What if we are too late and Dannys already killed him.
What if i find his body.
"April" i say quietly seeking her support but instead she freezes causing me to halt too. Shushing me, she gestures towards her ear telling me silently to listen.
Doing as she says i hold my breath listening for whatever April heard.
Then i hear it. Its small and smothered but its there. Quiet sobs seeping out from a cupboard with a key sticking from a lock.
Letting go of April's hand i glide quietly towards the cupboard my hands shaking in the process. As i get closer the sobs get ever so slightly louder along with small mumbles that i can't understand.
Apil nods me on stroking my arm softly. With her support i push my hand towards the key turning it softly as i hear a click and then immediately after a short gasp.
April gently pulls my hand away from the door and puts hers over the doorknob instead
"I will" she says softly letting me walk around her. Her ringed hand is shaking slightly on the handle. Shes scared. The rest of the noises in the apartment just become blurs as all i can focus on is the door.
My heart feels like its going to fly out of my chest as april pulls the door handle. The unnatural beating of my heart only goes faster as i look down at the contents of the cupboard, sick building in my stomach.
A million different thoughts fly around my head as i look down at my friend. I made it he's alive, although he looks terrible, He's alive and thats all that matters. All hes wearing is a baggy white shirt which is hanging off his body exposing his bruised and cut chest, shoulders and knees. His hair is long and greasy dangling in his tear filled eyes and some stray tears are rolling down is bruised face. he looks up at me with his sunken dead eyes and he says my name with his broken voice.
"Dannie"
His blue eyes stare up at me, but the longer i stare the more i realise hes not looking at me. Hes looking behind me. Its like he's completely blanking me out
