Phil opened his tired eyes , struggling to see clearly.. he rubbed them gently and looked around. With no sign of Dan , his first instinct was to panic

" Crap! Where is he?!"

Phil jumped up from his bed with only some boxers on , his messy hair flopping around as he hurried around the small apartment

" Dan?!" He called out

Struggling to put on his suit pants and what not... he clicked on his red bow tie and opened the door hurriedly , suddenly noticing a small note on the table. He grabbed it and opened it

Hey Philly!
It's Dan here , what up mate
I just remembered that I had to run some errands in Paris , I left you some money so you could pick any location and stay there!
I'll be back in a year , love ya! Stay safe honey

Sincerely
Dan

Phil ran a hand through his hair and groaned in frustration. Tears prickling at his eyes from how suddenly stressed he was. It might be a surprise to him , but Dan was the one thing that was keeping him alive.. Phil didn't know how to survive in a world alone.. he had his own apartment and Peej to help him if he failed at paying his rent.. but right now he was alone in the real world with actual villains surrounding every piece of land near him

Where would he go?!

" In a year?! A freaking year?! That's a pretty long time... oh my god I'm an idiot for trusting that crazy bastard!" Phil screeched

Grabbing the white bat which laid on the floor , he smashed it against the table multiple times. Trying to get his anger out of the way , he breathed deeply as he looked in the mirror by the wall. Seeing his bloodshot eyes and his crazy hair.. he really did seem like a mental person... he looked like he could kill.

" No.... Ill-... I'll go to uh-.. Oklahoma."

Phil muttered to himself , packing all the remaining clothes in the room and the money that he found in the restroom.

" I know a friend in Oklahoma... it'll.. be safe there and he'll help me..."

Knock knock knock

" Hey Howell! Its ya buddy!"

Phil glanced at the door and hurriedly tied on some fancy tap shoes , fixing his hair. He took in a deep breathe and slowly opened the door to see a man with a ripped up shirt and some dark jeans , a gun strapped behind his back

" Who are you?" He asked , his eyes slowly darkening at the sight of Phil.

Phil grinned widely , waving his fingers
" Hellooo! I'm Phil.. nice to meet you."

The man scoffed , his bloodshot eyes looking at Phil as if he was a piece of dirt on a newly bought white shirt
" I don't remember anything about a Phil."

Phil rolled his eyes , his smile almost flattening from how scared he was.
" By any chance.. May I know your name?"

The man pushed past Phil and walked into the small apartment , grabbing the note from the bed. Phil's eyes widened slightly but tired to pretend like it was no big deal

" Oh! You really do know Dan! Haha , here I thought that you killed Dan! Ah , I'm such an idiot..." the man suddenly burst into a large smile. Seeming much more friendlier than before

Phil wiped off his eye makeup and fixed his hair , putting down the bat
" yeah-... Dan was only helping me."

The man nodded , putting out his hand and waving it towards him
" I'm Chris.. nice to meet you."
