Finding Phil • A Phan AU

Chapter 4 - Dan's Selfie

     Dan drove to the noted address with a bit of suspicion. What kind of kidnapper would kidnap a person and then drop an address? And even it was a plan to lure him, what business would they want with him? With all these thoughts revolving in his head, he finally reached the place and saw a huge villa of at least four storeys. He even noticed the same van - parked in front of the building - in which Phil was kidnapped. He walked towards the van and peeped into it and noticed that there was no one in the van.

       Dan walked to the gate to notice a lock on it. There was a security guard in there who was asleep. "Nice security, Mr. Kidnapper," Dan muttered with a grin. He picked up a stone from the ground and tried to break the lock. He tried once, twice and then thrice. The lock didn't budge. Dan burnt with rage. This time he just threw the stone on the lock as hard as possible. Guess what? The lock broke. Dan grinned at the stupid lock. But he did not realize that the stone had bounced and hit the guard's head. "Hey! You there. Stop! You are not allowed in here!" screamed the guard.

       Dan apologized and ran away from the guard but he had to go in anyways. He walked around the house to find maybe another gate to enter. There was nothing like the second gate, but there was an open window right behind the villa. He thought of climbing in there. There was a big tree right next to the window. Dan walked on to the tree and then the window. His climbing of the tree had resulted in making him look like Tarzan with leaves around him.

       The room was dark and felt gloomy. It felt like no one had even entered this place for over a hundred years. He put one leg forward and stepped on something really sticky. It smelled like cheese. Dan bent down to realize that he had a pizza on his foot. Dan cried, "It seems like someone had a pizza party without me."

     Dan walked out of the room. The villa was quite big and one could easily get lost in here. But after a bit of walking he could hear feeble sounds. The sound of humans talking. He walked closer to the sound. The room from where the sounds were coming from had its door open. He could see a man on a chair and two men standing over him and discussing. He entered as dramatically as he could, interrupting the duo and shouted, "Where's Phil?"

"Hey Dan. I'm here," said the man on the chair.

     Dan had at last found his friend, Phil. Phil was filled with joy. The joy of meeting his friend, Dan, after a long time. (And maybe even the joy of meeting Harry Styles.) Dan was very happy. He walked towards Phil with the biggest and most joyful smile he had ever had on his face. Phil was happy seeing how much Dan cared about him and how happy that he was at finding him safe at last. Phil expected him to say something like, "Stupid, stupid Phil. How can you be so careless?"

     But within a fraction of second Phil was in a whirlpool of confusion. Dan crossed him and walked forward as if Phil was invisible. "OMG!" screamed Dan, "Harry Styles!" Dan removed his phone and continued, "Let's take a selfie please." "Lend me your hands first," said Harry. Dan did so. Harry got another rope and tied him too. It was late and Dan couldn't understand what was going on. He stood there as his hands were being tied, half puzzled, half excited.

     Dan and Phil were now taken to a room without any chairs. They were left alone. "Hey Dan, they did not even let me take my underwear." Dan rolled his eyes and gave Phil an annoyed look. "Will you stop moaning about your stupid underwear for one second?" Phil gasped and replied, "It was a Totoro underwear. How do you expect me to stop-"?
"Shh...we have to find a way out," said Dan. "These ropes are impossible to untie," said Phil looking at the rope, "but it would have been possible if you had just waited for a bit to take a selfie while I was tied up." Now it was Phil's turn to donate some annoyed looks to Dan.
