A Holistic Adventure

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Fanfiction

Chapter 2: Horizons - Part 2

The next day Amity and Todd awoke and began to head over to Amanda's place. They were walking outside Todd's apartment building when a familiar guy wearing a yellow leather jacket startled them.

"Hi!" Dirk greeted the cheerfully.

At that moment Amity went into defense mode and was aiming to kick him where the sun don't shine as Dirk jumped back. "No, please, not again! I didn't mean to startle you!"

"What are you still doing here?" Todd asked, looking to him.

Dirk chuckled. "What are you doing here? I live here!"

Amity looked to Todd for confirmation and he just shook his head. "Let's go Todd. My car is just right over there."

They began to move towards her car, but Dirk called out to them, causing Todd to stop in his tracks. "Didn't you say you lost your job?"

"No, I didn't say that, actually." Todd replied, looking to him confused on how he knew. "- How did you?"

"- I'm a detective. I'm on a case."

Amity looked to him with crossed arms. "Uh huh. You've said that before. So, what's your case Mr. Detective?"

Dirk had a bright smile on his face and looked to Todd. "You worked at that hotel, Where the murders took place. Been all over the news, For people who still watch the news, You know, old people, and me, occasionally."

"Was I on TV?" Todd asked feeling concerned.

"Would it be bad for you if you were?"

"That is none of your business! Now leave us alone!" Amity narrowed her eyes at Dirk, standing close to him, face to face almost.

Dirk felt a little intimidated by this, but continued on. "M-Maybe it is."

"No it isn't! Now go away or I'll kick you harder than last time!" Amity gave one last glare to him and joined Todd as they began to walk over to her car. Dirk flinched a bit, but wasn't going to give up on this. He knew they were to be his best friends and assistants. It was the universes calling.

"Where are you going?" He asked them.

"None of your business." Todd told him as he just opened the car door.

"You don't even know my business! Maybe I'm a cab driver." Dirk told them, going over to try and stop them at all costs. Even if it meant getting in the way of Amity and taking a kick. It was a risk worth taking.

"You just said you were on a case." Todd pointed out to him.

"Maybe I have two jobs!" Dirk exclaimed happily.

"Leave us alone!" Todd shook his head, continuing to try and get into the car.

"But maybe-" Dirk suddenly slammed the car door shut, and then proceeded to run around and shut Amity's door shut as well. He stopped in his tracks and looked up to see the pissed look she was giving him. He gulped and gave an awkward smile. "W-Where are you guys going?"

"My sister's house, okay?" Todd yelled to him.

He noticed the death glare Amity was giving him and was debating on letting her beat into him or save him from her wrath. Either way, when she was mad there was no stopping it. Amity was a tough chick who seemed confident and didn't take any crap from anyone. Been that way since Todd and Amanda met her. It was actually what drew them to her. She was one of their gang in high school.

At times, and rarely, they did get to see her vulnerable side break through. It was shocking at first, but it reminded them that even tough girls do have their moments.

Amity looked to the nervous Dirk with her glare. He wasn't going to give up still. He had a feeling about Amity and knew. " I-I'll give you a ride."

She finally broke her eye contact with him and chuckled sarcastically. "You don't need to. We can take my car if you stop slamming the doors on us."

"Ah, but I won't stop!"

"What is your problem?" Amity yelled looking to the detective with a raised brow.

"You already know. You have a feeling and I know you can tell." He looked to her with a smile.

They continued to look between each other, as if speaking with each other mentally while Todd looked between them confused. Amity shook her head and chuckled nervously. "I don't know what you're talking about. You're crazy!"

"You know what I'm talking about. I know you won't say it yet, but it will lead you to it. Just like how I've seen in his apartment."

"It's an hour away to my sisters." Todd replied, trying to get inside the car once again.

"Time, I laugh at the concept." Dirk replied rolling his eyes. "I can spend a whole day without even trying."

Suddenly they were stopped by the shouts of Todd's landlord Dorian coming out to shout at him about the rent once again. "Hey, hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?"

Amity and Todd looked to each other. "Right. Follow the annoying nerd. Let's go."

"Where's my money, huh? Where's my rent? Where's my rent money?" Dorian yelled loudly. Todd and Amity raced over to a blue Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray with Dirk. Amity stopped for a little, admiring the car in awe. She couldn't believe someone like him had a car like this...but yet she could.

"Careful, it's not my car." Dirk told them as they raced in. Since it was a two seater and no time to squish anyone into the back, Amity decided to sit on Todd's lap. They closed the door in time to see Dorian slamming against the window.

Amity looked to him with a glare as he continued to yell. "You paid me? Do I look like an accountant to you? Do I look like I know how much you paid me?"

"Shit. Go, go, go!" Todd yelled in a panic.

"Dirk! Make sure he comes back with my money!" Dorian yelled over to him. Dirk gave him a thumbs up while he walked away. Amity got out of the car, stuck her tongue out at the landlord then climbed into the back.

"You're actually staying?" Dirk asked her happily.

Amity leaned forward to look between both guys. "Well you said you would give us a ride, didn't you? Now hop to it British boy!"

Todd looked to her in confusion. "You can't be serious Amity?"

Dirk laughed happily as he put the car in drive and began to take off in a hurry, having both his passengers slam back into their seats. They were in for a crazy ride, literally!

The car was buzzing in and out of traffic in a hurry. Other drivers around them were honking and Todd was currently gripping into his seat for dear life. Why did they agree to get a ride with this lunatic. Is this how they were going to die?

Todd wanted to look back and see how Amity was doing. Was she hanging on for dear life or not bothered by this maniac's driving at all?

Amity was actually sitting in the back with a huge smile on her face enjoying the thrill of the ride quietly.

Dirk noticed this looking in the back mirror he had pointed to her, but didn't say anything. He then looked to Todd next to him. "Come on, relax, enjoy the ride. I can already tell we've got oodles in both like, um, eating, both can, walk. Listen, there's an ocean of commonalities here abroad the door."

"Why does Dorian know your name?" Todd asked him.

"Who? Oh, right, I was talking to him this morning."

"About what?"

"Your apartment building, the Ridgely. Fascinating history, that place."

"Asshole! Who are you?"

"I'm a detective, a holistic detective, And before you ask, no, I'm not with the CIA anymore."

This caused Amity to jolt up and her smile fade. She suddenly became stiff and nervous. Dirk sensed something was wrong and looked in the back mirror at her. "Are you okay? Don't tell me you're car sick?"

"She doesn't get car sick, but with the way you're driving, I wouldn't be surprised if she started now." Todd finally looked back and saw she was pale. "Amity, are you okay?"

She looked into his blue eyes and shook her head, a smile coming onto her face. "Yeah Todd, I'm fine. I think I am starting to become a bit car sick..."

Todd looked back to Dirk with narrowed eyes. "A holistic- What is a "holistic detective"?"

Dirk smiled happily. "I'm very glad you asked me that, Mister... What's your name?"

"Todd."

"I'm very glad you asked me that, Todd. The term "holistic" Refers to my convictions About the fundamental interconnectedness Of all things. With such petty things as fingerprint powder, Telltale pieces of pocket fluff And inane footprints."

"You're a detective who doesn't find clues?" Todd asked with a raised brow. "That sounds, You know, insane."

"I see the solution to each problem in the pattern and web of the whole. The connections between causes and effects Than we, with our rough and ready understanding Of the physical world Might naturally suppose."

Suddenly he began to swerve the car, almost running into another as he grabbed a pizza box, letting go of the steering wheel. Todd caught it and saved them. Dirk looked to Amity in the back mirror. "Maybe some pizza can help your supposed car sickness?"

Amity shook her head and gave him a weird look. He knew she was covering something up and she knew he could tell. Dirk happily took a slice of pizza and then the steering wheel from Todd.

"Man! Jesus Christ!"

Todd was standing outside the car and filling the car up with gas while Dirk sat on top of his car, smiling to Todd happily. "See? And you're already acting like an assistant."

"I just- I'm just trying to be helpful." Todd replied and looked at Amity, who had her window down sitting in the back. He noticed she was acting weird ever since they got a ride from Dirk. "Amity, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I just want to get to Amanda's as soon as possible." She replied in an annoyed tone.

"You know, I've started to think, You both are more important to this case than you realize." Dirk looked between them with his smile.

"What case? You broke into my apartment." Todd sighed.

Dirk got up from off his car and continued to look between them. "Well I mean, how do you even investigate anything If you don't use any investigative stuff? Interconnectedness! Coincidence, and the rarer, sexier coinky-dinks." He said with a wink at the end. "Once hired, I am intrinsically connected to the specific case. I then will eventually solve the mystery Merely by just kind of doing whatever."

"So, then who told you to break into my apartment?"

"No one, I was investigating your building for other reasons, which will for now remain tangential, And I just had a hunch you might be important. Same when I ran into you Amity. Hey, and I was right. I found a very compelling piece of evidence."

"What did you find?"

"Nothing. He found nothing." Amity said bluntly and unconsciously.

Dirk looked to her with his eyebrows raised. "Yeah actually. Nothing."

"But you just said Everything is connected!?" Todd looked to the holistic detective confused.

"Nothing is also connected."

Todd was starting to get annoyed with this and couldn't wait to reach his sisters. "Don't run any more red lights."

"Whatever keeps you sane." Dirk replied happily.

Todd and Amity began to walk up the steps to Amanda's house, leaving Dirk behind waiting in his car. Amity grabbed Todd's hand who accepted the offer. He was still wondering why she was acting weird around Dirk.

"Amity, are you sure you're okay?"

She nodded to him and chuckled. "Yeah, of course I am. Just trying to get my land legs back from that crazy car ride is all."

Todd thought he would let it rest if she insisted she was fine. If something was wrong she would tell him then.

"Even though you told him to stay in the car, and he said he would, I have a feeling he won't."

They stood at the door as Dirk appeared next to them. "Ring the bell."

Todd facepalmed and then looked to Amity, knowing how right she could be when she had a feeling.

"Told you." Amity replied, looking to the holistic detective with a glare.

"What the hell? You said you were going to stay in the car."

"I lied, though." Dirk began to chuckle at them. "What? I was trained as a ninja by the CIA."

Amity gave him a look as to say 'I'm not believing it.'

"What? Sorry that's a lie, too."

Todd sighed. "Just go back to the car."

It was then too late as the door opened and there stood Todd's sister Amanda.

Something is up with Amity, would could be wrong? Is she hiding something?
