we need to have a talk

6:10 am

mike walked through the empty parking lot walking backward to look at Jeremy ." are you sure you don't want me to take you home?" mike asked Jeremy. accidentally walking into his car a bit. "n-no I'm fine.. " Jeremy replied

mike sighed. getting into his car and started it. mike looked over to the pizzeria, to see Jeremy walking through the doors.

mike squinted his eyes and got out of the car. walking towards the pizzeria. raising an eyebrow thinking, he must have forgotten something. better make sure he's ok.

mike opened the door walking through the pizzeria, looking for Jeremy. but he couldn't find him anywhere. mike signed looking down as he slowly walked through the hallway. thinking he was just seeing things.

mike started to pull his keys out getting ready to leave. but he stopped, backing up, then he saw a long line of light coming from a crack in the middle of the hall. he frowned slightly. as he tries to look through the Crack, but it was too dark of an area to see what's inside. it just looked like a ball of light to him

mike sighed. as he grab the crack and pulled it towards him. it was a metal door on the other side. he looked down to see some stairs. he hastily walks down the stairs leaving the door open

it was just 5 stairs. he had a bad feeling. he got to the last step he heard a sound of metal dropping and he quickly looked up. mike's expression change and he froze looking up Jeremy. who was standing next to a table with a dead body tied to it.

after a very long 2 minutes mike opened his mouth about to yell. but was cut off by Jeremy running up, and putting a shackle around his neck and quickly pulling him to the other side of the room. mike couldn't help but yelp a bit. when Jeremy first pulled the chain

mike struggled against the chain choking himself a bit, by doing so. Jeremy tied the chain to a bar against the wall. putting a lock on the chain. mike growled "JEREMY! "

Jeremy flinched a bit before quickly backing away from Mike. " Jeremy let me go now! " mike yelled. Jeremy looked over at the door quickly running over and shutting it. making sure it was shut tight. mike started to struggle again. trying to pull his head out of the shackle, but the only thing he did was choke himself.

Jeremy heard the choking and ran over to mike." m-mike stop it you're hurting yourself " yelped Jeremy, as he grabbed a towel that was on the table next to the dead body. quickly putting it around the shackle making it less easy to choke on.

mike looked around then looked over at Jeremy who was completely panicking. Jeremy was sweating badly, looking on the floor while pasting, as he started mumbling "oh God oh God oh God oh god"

".. Jeremy?... " mike asked worried. Jeremy jumped a bit then looked back, " u-uh I u-um.. i-I'll be right back! " Jeremy quickly ran out the door. mike looked down and sighed.

mike sat down trying to relax. he couldn't help but to look at the dead body. that had almost all his bones removed, and every organ ripped out of it. mike almost threw up looking at it. he looked down feeling sick.

after a few minutes Jeremy came back shaking scared. he locked the door and walked to the table grabbing a needle off it. then walked towards mike. mike quickly stood up stepping back quickly. "w-what are you doing?" mike asked getting nervous.

Jeremy took a deep breath trying to be strong," I am going to give you amnesia" he replied. walking towards mike. mike backed into the wall. Jeremy moved the needle towards his arm, but mike grabbed his hand. "Jeremy please can't we talk about this!" mike said.

Jeremy flinch at mike's grip on his arm, making him drop the needle. but he quickly pulls his hand away stepping away from mike. mike put his hands up towards his chest to say he means no harm.

"please tell me what's going on. I won't tell anyone I promise... " mike said, in a calming tone. Jeremy's lips trembled as he whimper slightly. he wanted to tell him the truth, but he was nervous he would tell someone. " h-how do I know I can trust you?" Jeremy asked, in a shaky voice.

"I haven't betrayed you yet. Jeremy, you're my best friend, and I don't want you to get in trouble. I don't want you to go to prison, or in worst trouble! please just tell me what's going on. "

Jeremy sighed, sitting down in front of mike. crossing his legs. he did trust mike. he just wasn't sure how he would take this. he was going to tell him about this. but he wasn't sure if he was ready for it yet.

mike sat down in front of Jeremy, also crossing his legs.

"just... " Jeremy sighed " ask me what you want to know, "Jeremy said, in a quiet tone. mike took a second to think of something to ask, he looked at the dead body. then back at Jeremy "...who is that?" mike asked, trying to sound calm. but he couldn't help sounding nervous.

Jeremy pulls out a piece of paper. and started to read it out loud. "... Johnson baker.. he kidnap and raped 10 kids..." mike looked a bit shocked at the response. but quickly calm down, try to avoid making Jeremy more nervous around him.

"why did you kill him? " mike asked. Jeremy looked down feeling uncomfortable, with the question. he sighs trying to think of how to tell him, in a comforting manner ." i... " Jeremy stop trying to think of the words, " w-well you see... i... i " Jeremy hesitated again. looking down at the ground.

mike just waited for a answer calmly. but he was losing his pensions. he sighs. "i... I turn them into endoskeletons for the animatronics..." Jeremy finally came out. he looked up at mike.

mike was confused. "w-what? I mean...what do you mean?... how does that even..." mike said, with a puzzled look on his face. Jeremy sighed. "I take the bones a-and saw them down.. then paint them.." Jeremy replied. mike's expression changed, his eyes widen. "b-but they're made out of metal...right?..." mike mumbled.

Jeremy shook his head. "that's why we paint them s-so they look like metal... we can't afford metal for the animatronics it's too expensive..." mike looked down going slight, for a moment. then looked back up, at Jeremy "then why didn't you use wood?..." mike asked, still trying to process what's going on.

"we tried that.. but the parents got worried about the kids, getting splinters... it got so bad that we had to shut down for repairment," Jeremy explained. mike froze for a minute, then nodded.

mike suddenly realized something. "wait when did you first started doing this? " mike gave Jeremy an angry look." is someone forcing you to do this!? you better tell me now, I want to know! " mike started to yell at Jeremy.

Jeremy flinched whimpering slightly, at mike's reaction. mike quickly calm down and patted his arm. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I just wanted to know your safe... " Jeremy nodded. looking back up at mike.

" w-well it all started when I walked in on the boss doing it... " Jeremy started to explain.
