Out Loud ||Dan Howell x Reader||

Chapter 23

"I have to go get her," I said, slamming my computer screen shut and jumping off the bed.

"Dan, we don't know for sure-" Phil started hesitantly.

"But, Phil-"

"Dan!" Phil shouted. "Don't jump into a situation that could be dangerous. You need to check the place out first. If Isaac is there, so is (y/n). But please, you need to rest," he said. I let out a small sigh and nodded, finally agreeing with him.

"Yeah. Okay," I mumbled, collapsing onto my bed and, for once, instantly passing out.

--nyoom--

I woke up the next morning and went out into the world almost immediately. I rented a car and drove to the apartment complex before parking across the street and waiting. It wasn't too long before I saw Isaac going inside. Leaving the car, I followed him close behind. I was lucky that he didn't notice me.

What a good stalker...

I watched as he went up the stairs while I followed, keeling a safe distance between us. He quickly turned to an apartment near the stairs of the second floor, putting a key inside and opening the door. When he closed the door behind him, I checked the number on the door. 203. Engraving the number into my brain, I made my way back to the rental car and made my way home.

Phil met me at the door when I got back. "Did you find her? What happened? Is she okay?" He questioned.

"I only figured out the apartment number. But she has to be there. I just need to figure out how to pick a lock," I said, beginning to make my way upstairs to my room.

"You're going to look up a tutorial, aren't you?" Phil asked.

"Damn right I am," I responded.

--nyoom--

I made sure to wake up earlier than I usually would that morning. I quickly got dressed, grabbed the keys to the car, and made my way to the apartment complex. The sun was just barely rising when I arrived at the complex. Watching the entrance closely, I waited for two or three hours.

Isaac left the building about two and a half hours after I arrived. I waited for a moment, watching as he got into his own car and drove off. Making sure I had two of (y/n)'s bobby pins in my pocket, I exited the car and made my way inside the building. I raced up the stairs and quickly turned to Apartment 203. Taking the bobby pins out of my pocket, I placed them inside the lock and began to do what the video showed. I struggled for a few moments, questioning why I hadn't just ordered a kit online, but I finally managed to unlock the door.
