In a Parallel World - The Story of Dan and Phil

Chapter 16: Case Cracked

A/N: Gotcha ;)

The doctors turned to Phil. "We've been very lucky here. Dan woke up just in time. Someone must be watching over him" "Oh, they really must be!" Phil squealed with happiness. "So what happens now? Can we leave?" he asked. "Not just yet. Dan is still extremely unstable. We want to keep him in overnight so we can keep an eye on him" the doctor said. "The rest is up to him. If he feels satisfactory in himself and the nurses agree, he might be able to go as soon as tomorrow. I assume you'd like to stay with him tonight?" he asked. "Yes please. Thank you." Phil was almost dancing with happiness. He looked over at Dan and Dan smiled. Phil knew that tonight, he would be able to sleep well knowing Dan was safe.

The main hall of the warehouse was bustling. Everyone was talking. Louise was sat a table by herself, just thinking. Zoe came over and sat with her. "Chummy? Are you ok?" she asked. Louise looked up. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just worried about Dan. There hasn't been any news has there?" "No. Unfortunately not. But listen to me. I'm sure everything will be fine. Dan's a tough guy." "Yeah. I guess you're right." A smile began to spread across Louise's face. At that moment, PJ and Chris ambled through the door. Everyone went silent, and looked at them. Carrie walked over to them. "Is he..." she began. "Yes. We're so sorry." She looked at the floor and sniffed, fighting to hold in the tears. She scampered up the steps to address everyone. "Everyone. It is with great sadness that I regret to inform you that... that Dan... that Dan Howell is dead. He was in a critical condition, and had 24 hours to wake up. Unfortunately" she sniffed again. "Unfortunately he remained comatose until the end." Louise walked forward. "The end? What do you mean? Why isn't he still comatose?" she questioned. "The doctors... thy said if he was going to wake up... then he would have by now. So they... they s-switched off the l-life s-support." Carrie could no longer hide it. She burst into floods of tears. Chris buried his head in PJ's chest and Louise sunk to the floor. She screamed and howled for it not to be true. Everyone lowered their heads in sadness. At this point, Carrie attempted to regain her composure. "That's not all t-though. Thanks to our n-new friend Phil, D-Dan's death will NOT go unavenged." Why?" screamed Louise. "What could he have possibly found out that could help this situation?" "He has conclusive evidence of who is trying to kill us." The crowd gasped. "W-who is it?" asked Chris. "Phil has explained to me a detailed account of the whole accident. The bomb that was placed inside the Shard had a logo on it. And Phil said the logo was... that it was the BBC logo." The crowd gasped again. Louise rose up. "Are you sure?" she asked. "That's what he said" replied Carrie. "Wait" said PJ. "If you think about it, it all fits. Since like 2008, creators on YouTube have been earning views that TV networks would kill for. And that's exactly what's happening. Someone is trying to kill off YouTubers and we don't know why. What if this is why?" The crowd murmured to each other. "PJ... You might have cracked it! Excellent point!" Zoe then spoke. "Wait. Didn't someone once say that? I'm sure I've heard it before... That's it! Becoming YouTube! Episode 1? Or 2? Either way, that's where I've heard it before. But who?" Everybody looked up at Carrie. "I can't remember for the life of me. But now we know what we have to do. Everyone! We're going back to YouTube!"
