Okay so here's the second chapter to my story. Enjoy :) Still open to suggestions by the way. Also tell me if you think the story is progressing too fast. I want to take this one a bit slower than some of my other stories ^_^
Chapter 2
Dan and Chris sat themselves down at a booth with their trays of food. They needed to formulate a plan, and a good one.
"Dan, you are never going to be able to figure out who the real person is." Chris exclaimed.
"It could be someone all the way on the other side of the globe!"
Dan gave Chris a disapproving look.
"Chris, you don't know what was said. I have been wronged, and that TROLL is going to pay for it!"
Dan replied.
"Well, here." Chris pulled out his cell phone and went to the site.
"Log in to your profile and show me."
"And give him the chance to pester me again! I need a plan first." Dan countered.
"Dan, just log in."
"Fine." Dan mumbled under his breath. He snatched the phone out of Chris's outstretched hand.
Dan logged into his account and handed the phone back to Chris. Chris read through the conversation, an indifferent look on his face.
"Wow Dan, he's a pretty ruthless troll." Chris was going to continue with some other comment when there was a familiar ringing coming from the phone.
"What did that brigand say now!" Dan yelled, grasping for the phone.
Chris pushed Dan away as he looked at the new message. Chris read aloud the newest addition to the collection of insults.
"It says, 'Back for more are you? Well I have something to say to you for that last comment. I had forgotten something I had wanted to say, and you logged off before I could get it out :1 I just wanted to say that, on top of no one ever seeing you as anything more than a worthless sack of dog crap, that you most certainly are gay. Otherwise I'm sure you would have at least dated a few more girls by now. Though I honestly can't fathom why anyone would agree to go out with you in the first place. Maybe you can find some ugly-ass rich guy that will take you. :) Talk with you later!' Wow...um." Chris had a really sad expression on his face. He looked towards Dan who he assumed was seething by now.
Dan couldn't believe what he'd just heard read to him. He was in shock.
"Dan." Chris called out. He snapped his fingers in front of Dan's face, earning him a smack on his left knuckles.
"Whatever, it's fine. I'll get him eventually." Dan stated quietly.
"Dan I wasn't going to suggest this because I really didn't want to help you hurt a petty internet troll."
"Well what is it!" Dan sighed grumpily.
"Elise can get us their location easily. We just need to give her the username and she'll calculate their location. It's a special computer for the government that she's been assembling. It doesn't get delivered until tomorrow." Chris stated proudly.
"We'll get this guy, don't you worry!"
Dan let out a snort, "Sure buddy. Well let's eat, I'm starved."
Dan took a bite of his hamburger not noticing the cheese. Chris had failed to point it out before Dan had taken a bite.
"Dan!" Chris cried out as he rushed to the other side of the booth.
Dan collapsed on the seat clutching his gut. He moaned, it hurt so bad.
"I-I need my medicine!" Dan gasped.
"Let's just get you to the hospital-"
"NO!" Dan exclaimed; flinching at the quick action of jerking himself upright.
"Just get me to your house. I should be fine if I rest for a few hours."
Chris hesitantly agreed. He grabbed the burgers and carried Dan to the car, gingerly placing him in the backseat. Dan was placed on the sofa once they got to Chris's house.
"Hey sweetie." Elise said as she gave Chris a peck on the cheek.
"What's up with Dan, he looks awful."
Chris sighed, running his fingers through his hair.
"An internet troll and accidental cheese intake." Chris stated.
Elise rose her eyebrows.
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but this troll's just ruthless." Chris quietly exclaimed as he led Elise into the kitchen. He didn't want to disturb Dan.
"We need you to locate this guy, he's going to make what's left of Dan's sanity go out the window. Dan will snap at some point." Chris explained.
"An internet troll is NOT a good reason for me to bust out the government's special locator."
Chris pulled out his cell. He made quick work of logging in to Dan's account. He handed his phone to Elise.
"How do you know Dan's password?"
"He mumbled it while he was entering it into the phone." Chris chuckled. Dan could really be such a silly idiot sometimes.
Elise shrugged her shoulders. She scrolled through the conversation. Nothing really shocked her, but the last comment that Chris had read aloud to Dan was just awful.
"How could someone be so mean?" Elise asked in bewilderment.
"Even Dan's not this merciless with his snark comments."
Chris nodded in agreement.
A groan escaped from Dan's throat as he sat up; one hand still carefully laid on his abdomen.
"Dan you really should be resting." Chris said.
"I'm fine." Dan croaked.
Dan noted the fact that Chris and Elise were giving each other weird looks at his statement. Dan, almost to prove that he was indeed alright, stood up. His legs wobbled a bit for a moment, but Dan regained his balance rather quickly.
"Let's go. I want to get this locator business out of the way. ID25* is going to get what's coming to him."
Elise led the way into the garage. A large object was covered with a dusty sheet. Upon removing it a large mechanical contraption stood before Dan.
"This is the biggest computer I've ever seen!" Dan admired the great structure. Dan noted that there were a lot of buttons, dials, and levers. He didn't know what they were for, but he knew that Elise would kill him if he touched anything.
Elise flipped the switch on the machine. A huge gust of air hit Dan in the face as it started up, almost knocking him over. Elise turned a few knobs, and pulled down the three black levers on the far left. Chris stood by Dan making sure he could catch him if he was feeling faint.
"Okay boys, what's this troublemakers username?" Elise sighed.
"It's ID25*" Dan stated. He spit the words out as if they were poison.
Elise typed in the short name and punched in a few other small requirements.
"Would you do the honors Dan?" Elise asked, gesturing to the large blue button in the center.
Dan smiled a little as he stepped forward. He reached out his hand slowly pushing the button in. There were multiple clicks and beeps as the machine calculated the information. A loud ding rang out. The machine printed out a small card. Dan grabbed it. He was shocked at the results. ID25*'s address was none other than the apartment right next to his own.
~AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Dun dun duuuun. The troll has been living right next to Dan this whole time! Find out who the mysterious ID25* is in the next chapter! I'll try and get it out as soon as possible.
