Phil's POV

I finally woke up to the sound of someone talking. It sounded like a girls voice, but I can't be sure. My arms felt like they were tied behind my back, but I didn't dare open my eyes or move yet.

"...the clock is ticking Dan, you might want to hurry"

What? Dan? My Dan?

That's when I opened my eyes, and I was right, my arms were tied behind my back. I was tied to a chair. And I guess tying my arms behind my back wasn't enough because my legs were tied together to the chair's legs also. They were starting to feel numb.

How long have I been asleep for?

The girl who was talking on the phone was standing in the doorway. I could tell from her clothes that the girl was Lavender. She hung up the phone...wait...my phone and turned around. "Oh, you're finally awake are you?" She slipped my phone in her back pocket. I didn't want to respond. I wanted to fall back asleep. Maybe this was a nightmare? But I could tell from the pain in my wrists from the rope that this wasn't a nightmare that I could wake up from.

Dan's POV

I dashed out of the flat as soon as the speaker on the other end hung up. I didn't even think to put shoes on. So my feet were freezing on the cold pavement as I ran as fast as I could.

2 blocks from here...

1 more block...

I reached the street the building was supposed to be on, and took a right turn. The building wasn't really hard to look for though because it was literally the only building on this side of the road. Just two big fields with dead grass on both sides of the building, and a bunch of other shops on the left side of the road.

I entered the building noticing the "Do Not Enter" tape on the ground next to the entrance. There was a pair of stairs as soon as I walked in. I saw footprints within all of the layers of dust on the floor, and a coffee cup on the last step, must be Phil's.

Stepping over the coffee cup, I tried to go up the steps as quiet as possible. Thankfully the steps cooperated and didn't creak, and I was only in my socks, so this made it even more easier. When I reached the top there was a hallway on my right. All of the doors were closed. So much for my unnoticed entrance. I started to reach for the first door when I heard a loud "bang!" coming from the very end of the hallway.
