Dirk Gently x Reader (Holistic Partners in Crime)

Chapter 4 - Blackwing fugitives

//ok I'm back and found this book again, sorry to say I'm not in this fandom anymore but I see a lot of you are still here asking for more chapters and things. But it has been years since I've seen this so I'm going to rewatch it and write some more for you. I'm also going to edit previous chapters because.. yikes. But in other words. I'm back. - Kat 

I ran the tap and filled the kettle to about half way and put it back on its stand to boil. I grabbed some cups from my cupboard and got out some lemon tea. I glanced over at Dirk who was currently fidgeting with the edge of one of my many couch pillows. 

God. I tried so goddamn hard to get away from that place. It's like I'll never really escape that shithole. I sighed inwardly and loosened my bowtie and a few top buttons and relaxed a little. I filled the cups with water and put teabags and teaspoons in each cup and headed over to Dirk and handed him one. 

I sat down next to him and we both simultaneously sipped our tea in awkward silence. "So... um. You made nice tea?" I frowned a little in annoyance and nodded "Yup." He sighed and went back to being silent. "Dirk. Seriously why are you here?" He frowned "Oh well um. Long story short. I met you and I and that Todd  and was told you were... um.. and Todd is my best friend? And other things?" He groaned and downed the lemon tea.

I tilted my head and sipped the rest of my tea. "Well uh.. That wasn't helpful. But We'll get to the bottom of it at some point. I sighed as I heard a gunshot go off next door. "Todd? Dirk. Stay here. I swear to god if you follow me you're a dead man." I headed through to Todd's apartment. I opened the door and sighed in relief. 

"What was that noise?" He shrugged and glanced up to the ceiling where recurring banging noises were going off. "Oh." 

"Is it bad or...?" I heard Amanda's voice come from his phone and I immediately smiled. "Amanda!" 

"(Y/N)! Hey kid! How are you?" I sighed a little and groaned. "Ah.. shitty as always huh?.." I grinned and nodded. "As always.. anyways how are you doing?" I heard her shift as she replied. "Meh it's getting better. I mean Todd said it got better for him over time so that's probably whats happening with me right?" I nodded a little playing into Todd's lie. 

I didn't approve of the fact he faked an illness to get money off his parents but it keeps Amanda optimist so I try to only think of it as good for her. Despite the bad effects I know it'll have if she finds out. 

"Oh we're coming up tomorrow by the way." Todd chipped in. I relaxed my shoulders at that. God I missed Amanda so much. She's the only friend who's a girl that I've got and I'm so grateful for her. "Wait.. The message you sent said you two don't have the money right now?" 

"Oh um... We'll figure something out Manda don't worry..." I could practically feel her worried face from here. "Woah... are you two alright over there you sound stressed out..." The events of today suddenly flashed through my head. The Corgi. The landlord smashing Todd's car. The weird detectives. Seeing future me. And Todd being fired.

"Um nope! Everything's fine here!" Todd nodded and sighed "We're fine.. Don't worry too much." I smiled and yawned. "Right I'm heading back to my place. Night you two.." 

"Night (Y/N)" The two siblings said in almost unison. I smiled lazily and gently hugged Todd and headed back to my house for some well-deserved rest when I noticed Dirk was gone...? 

Didn't really care though I want sleep. 

"So... when's your date then?" I heard Amanda say through the thin walls. "Shut up!" Yup there's Todd. I laughed and slowly fell asleep. 

//There! more updates for you all. -Kat
