Hunter Of The Night (Phan AU)

Eleven

Phil POV
Dan was right; I need to stop being so obnoxious. I was starting to actually like Dan, so I need to be a better conversational partner to him.

"Fine, I'm sorry," I said, putting as much sincerity as I could into those three words. Dan smiled, so he must've picked it up.

"It's fine," he said, waving his hand, then sat down.

"So, the verdict," I said as I sat down on the ground across from Dan.

His face dropped from a smile to a frown and he looked down at the ground. "They didn't give me a straight answer," he explained.

"It's alright, we'll find out eventually," Zoe commented, and I nodded in agreement. Dan looked up, surprised at our understanding.

"That's alright," I said, "but what are we supposed to do in the time remaining? This cell has nothing to do in it except sleep and pace," I added.

"You could exercise?" Zoe suggested, and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, totally. I'm gonna exercise. Next suggestion?"

Dan giggled, making me smile. His giggles were so cute, and they made him look so happy that I was going to try and make him giggle constantly.

"We could play a game," Zoe suggested again, and I looked at her, or the wall between us, skeptically.

"Like parcheesi? Or monopoly?" I asked sarcastically.

"No, like a game we don't need a board for. Like twenty questions or would you rather or truth or dare or just something like that," Zoe explained quickly, exasperation evident in her voice.

"Oh yeah, sure, that sounds fun," I said, watching Dan. He was looking back and forth between me and Zoe rapidly. "What is it, Dan?"

Dan looked at me for a second, then gave a small smile. "Nothing," he said.

"Let's play would you rather," Zoe spoke, and Dan and I agreed.

"You start, I guess," I said to Zoe.

She cleared her throat, then spoke. "Dan, would you rather have your penis cut off, or have to shoot one of the officers here in the face?"

Dan laughed, then said, "depends on which officer," making me and Zoe laugh too.

"Caspar," Zoe said, and Dan looked deep in thought.

"I guess, my dick is pretty important, right? And Caspar could survive a shot to the head, so I choose that," Dan said after a couple of seconds, and I giggled.

"Alright Dan, your turn," Zoe said, and Dan turned to me.

"Okay, Phil. Would you rather eat your own toe, or eat someone else's toe?" Dan smirked.

"Well, I don't know where someone else's toe has been," I explained. "So I would eat my own."

We were all laughing when a woman walked in the door. She had the expression of someone who is smelling something horrible, and her hair is in a tight bun on the top of her head.

"Dan Howell?" She spoke, making us all go quiet. Her voice sent chills down my spine, and I shivered.

"Yes ma'am?" He said as he stood up quickly.

"A word, please," the woman said and stepped out the door. Dan turned and looked at me for a second, then walked out the door to follow the woman.

"I wonder what that's about?" Zoe said, but I shrugged. All I knew is that it couldn't be good.

Dan POV
I walked out of the room and the woman was standing there, looking strict.
