To Fix What Has Been Broken
By: End of Grace
A/N: Hello Everyone! Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Getting all your wonderful reviews has really helped, especially last week while I had my family down. As promised, here is the new chapter and again thanks to Speedox12 for your hard work. I hope you're ready for Freddy, because I don't think Mike is, lol.
Chapter 7: A Past Best Left Forgotten
Mr. McBear's eye was twitching as his hand tightened around his cane as he imagined smashing the hard stick over the man's head. How could he sit there, so pompous and smug, as he pointed to the empty row in the booth.
"I'd rather stick cocktail sticks in my eyes rather than look at you, Yen Sid Dahl, now get your ass out of my pizzeria!" he snapped, but the younger man simply laughed.
"Come on now Fred, is that any way to speak to an old friend?" smiled Dahl as he sipped from his soda cup. "You and I have a lot to catch up on."
Mr. McBear snorted as he slid into the booth. "Fine, how are you, Dahl, and your soulless animatronics in that sink hole you call a theme park?"
"It's all fine, thank you, my stocks have gone up a couple dollars a share. I heard that your business was meant to be closing down, but then you had "another" grand re-opening... how many does that make now... five?"
"We only had to close down due to the renovations, we had such a high demand for parties; we're fully booked for the year."
"Yes, I saw the "pirates" attack on the band... seriously though are you that desperate for parents to book their kids' parties here that you had to stage such a thing?"
"Oh no, if I was desperate to make a buck I would have copied you and made lifeless copies of the same robot under a different name." smirked McBear as he watched Dahl twitch. "Now that the niceties are over, what do you want Dahl?"
"Well, if you must know, a member of your staff has tried to apply for a job at my theme park, not that anyone can blame them of course and we accepted them with open arms. Only for them to call us some time later to tell us that they already had a job and that they were sorry to waste our time."
"Someone turned you down, wow, will wonders never cease." sneered McBear as he adjusted his glasses.
"True in the beginning of my career, I was used to it; but now, being voted as one of the best companies to work for by various newspapers, I'm more used to people begging me for a chance to work for me."
"So what was the job you were offering my member of staff? Shoe licker or butt kisser?" asked McBear as he helped himself to some of Dahl fries.
"An Engineer if you must know." smiled Dahl as he watched McBear go pale as he realized who he was on about. "It was a shock to be refused, but it wasn't something I lost sleep over until one night I got round to reading the paper and found said engineer with your animatronics and I thought to myself, if this young man can turn that dump around and bring it back from almost closing, then what can he do at my theme park? But of course I felt I had to see for myself if he was really as wonderful as everyone says ; and I can honestly say, I have not been disappointed."
"Keep your grubby eyes and hands off of Mike, Dahl! He's not for you!" snapped McBear banging his cane on the table.
"Really? I can offer him a better wage, a home, perks and all the animatronics he could possibly want to fix. What can you offer him? A seat at the kiddes table?"
"Mike is a loyal member of our company, the money we pay him doesn't matter because of his love for the animatronics here and the animatronics love him in return. He wouldn't dream of leaving."
-Line Beak-
Mike needed to get out of here before Freddy killed him as the bear came towards him, placing his hat down on the side, an act almost like stripping, most likely not wanting it to get dirty with his blood. He slid off of the table he had been on with Fred and tried to tidy himself up as Freddy approached.
"Er... what... what do you need me to do Freddy? Need any maintenance done?"
Freddy chuckled again as he continued to walk up to Mike until he had him pinned up against the wall. "Your right, I do need maintenance, but let us both make sure we both know the kind of maintenance I'm looking for."
Mike felt all his blood vessels in his cheeks burst as his face heated up. He had seen enough films with Tom Hanks in them to know what Freddy was doing all the while wondering if his insurance covered being stuffed into animatronic suit, because if Goldie heard Freddy, he would be baying for his blood.
"So... so you need a virus scan, oiled joints... maybe your fur washed?" Mike tried to smile but Freddy's intense stare made it hard.
Freddy slammed his paw beside Mike's head and leaned in closer. He said softly "Not that kind."
Mike gulped, he had seen Freddy's cock by accident when he had caught him and Goldie at it and he had no desire to be split in two by a giant robotic bear dick. Freddy lifted Mike's head up by his chin so he could look into his eyes, rubbing his thumb over Mike's bottom lip.
"Now that's been cleared up, shouldn't you start stripping? Or would you rather me do it for you?"
"No... no, I mean... Freddy... um... what going on? Shouldn't you be with Goldie?"
Something flashed though Freddy's optics, Mike thought it was guilt, but Freddy gripped his chin tighter, his optics half lidded.
"Mike, Goldie won't give me what I want, so I've decided to get it from you." Freddy's voice was silky and seductive.
Mike fingered his collar to try and swallow the lump he had in his throat. Freddy turned his head slightly and licked Mike's ear, then trailed his tongue from Mike's ear to his chin and kissed his nose.
"Freddy, I doubt that kinky old bear would deny you anything, so what is this..."
What Mike was going to ask was lost as Freddy kissed him, interrupting Mike to his advantage as he mapped Mike's mouth with his tongue, moving his hand from Mike's face and cupping Mike's penis through his pants. Mike jumped and pressed his hands against Freddy's chest to try and pushed the bear away. Which of course was pointless as Freddy was a lot stronger than he was and he was not planning on leaving any time soon. Mike pulled his face away and panted for breath as Freddy played with the waistline of his jeans, tickling the soft skin there, as he licked Mike's neck.
"Freddy, what is it that Goldie won't give you? Cause I can talk to him about it if you want..."
Freddy paused and sighed as he pulled away from Mike and placed his hands on his pelvis section. "You're making seducing you really hard for me Mike."
Mike gave a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his head "Sorry? But, I never thought that you would cheat on Goldie? I mean he's done some pretty dumb shit, but it's obvious that he had the best of intentions and anyone with eyes can tell he's crazy about you."
Freddy crossed his arms and hanged his head and said softly "He's not the animatronic I fell in love with. After the death of the five children, he was a bit more intense on guarding this place, but still loving. Yet since Springtrap's return, he has been demanding and ordering me and the others about, he was even thinking of sending the toys to another restaurant... you would think after so many decades without them he would want to keep them close."
"Maybe you're not seeing the full picture Freddy. Maybe he sees you tired at the end of a shift and wants to help out? Take some of the weight off of you. Maybe he has a really good reason for thinking the toys should go to another place, like letting Fred have his own place where he could be a leader?" Mike reasoned, but noticed that Freddy was still looking at the floor "Um,... is there anything else? I mean I understand things aren't great between you, but what does that have to do with having sex with me?"
Freddy turned and went back to the table and picked up his hat and pulled out a folded piece of paper. He opened it up and looked down at it with a smile as he handed it to Mike.
"Because of this."
Mike looked down at his drawing "Shadow Freddy? How and when did you get this? And what had this got to do with having sex?"
"I came in here looking for you and saw your drawing book. I had a look at it and found this. Why didn't you make him instead?" Freddy demanded, looking hurt "Why did you build Shadow and not him!"
"I thought you and Goldie would be offended if I built him without your permission." said Mike. "I thought you had Fred and if you wanted more you would have asked Mr. McBear to make you one, but what has that got to do with us... doing it?"
Freddy smirked as he came closer to Mike "Because, I figured the reason you didn't build Shadow Freddy was because you haven't mated with one of us bears. Though I know you haven't (cough) with Junior, but for me to have Shadow Freddy I have to mate with you."
Mike went beet red "We REALLY don't have too Freddy. I can just make him for you..."
Freddy tugs Mike forward by his belt and then grabs Mike's ass "Oh,... but I think it would benefit you by having the experience."
Mike gulped as Freddy leaned in to kiss him when the door to his office swung open and Foxy came running in.
"Mike! You must,... Oh Ahoy Freddy, I didn't know ye be in here as well." said Foxy as he blinked his good eye at the scene in front of him. Freddy growled as he let go of Mike and turn to look at Foxy.
"Don't you know how to knock?" he asked, feeling slightly put out as Mike straighten himself behind him.
Foxy rubbed his head with his hook "I do, but I also know that young Mike is not meant to give us "Maintenance" during daylight hours... not that we all haven't tried. Besides, this is being an emergency call from Father himself."
"Mr. McBear is here? I thought he wouldn't come out until tomorrow." said Mike as he walked past Freddy and Foxy to go and see McBear but turned briefly back to Freddy.
"Freddy we'll talk more about what you want from me later, but I think you and Goldie really need to talk first."
Foxy waited until Mike left the room before he too turned to speak to his old friend "Mike be right Freddy. Ya can't mate with him while ya still with Goldie, it wouldn't be right nor safe for Mike should Goldie hear about it, would you really hurt him that much?"
Freddy hung his head, his pump cramping in his chest, his memory chip flicking thought his memories both good and bad with Goldie. "I don't want to hurt him... it's just... I don't think he cares for me anymore and I'm no longer sure he's the bear I fell in love with either."
"Mike is right, Best be talking to Goldie about all this before he stuffs Mike into a suit." said Foxy making Freddy flinch as he knew that Goldie would indeed do just that.

((Flash Back))
The ticket machines were whirling and the children's laughter rang in everyone's ears, as the pizzeria was fit to burst with the amount of kids there. The staff were running around as usual, keeping up with orders as well as keeping an eye on the children as they played. The greeter waved goodbye to a family as they left and put on their best smile when the door opened again...only for it to dip slightly when she saw who it was.
"Hello kids, you're not here to cause trouble again are you?" she said as she looked over the group that had been dubbed by the staff as the fearsome six. Four young boys and two girls, the boys and one girl were all about ten or so while the youngest was a sister to one of the boys and was about four. These kids caused fights, picked on other kids, would steal tickets or tokens from others, push kids off of the games and vandalize anything they wanted while the youngest would kick, bite, screamed and even would wet herself on purpose for attention when her brother would run off and leave her.
"Mind your own business lady!" snapped one of the boy's as he dragged his sister in.
"But Matt, I don't want to go in there again!" the little girl wept as he yanked her closer as his friends rushed passed him and the greeter, disappearing into the crowd.
"Then stay here then! I've got better things to do then look after you." Matt snapped as he let go of his sister's hand and went to join his friends. Violet had already pushed some girl off of the claw machine, Dan and Pete were most likely bullying some kid for his quarters and lastly, Chris was in the far back corner on his knees getting something out of his backpack.
"What you got there Chris?" Matt asked as he came over to his best friend "Anything good?"
"I got this out of my older brother's room, thought we could do a little decorating?" said Chris as he held up a spray can of paint.
"Cool I'll act as look out while you start, then we swap." said Matt as he turned around and started to keep an eye out for any staff while Chris started to spray the walls and the machines. After a while Matt got bored and wanted his turn, as he went over to Chris and grabbed the can off of him.
"Ok, my turn, you keep an eye out."
"What?" snapped Chris angry clenching his fists "It hasn't even been a minute! Give it back."
The boys started to struggle over the can, accidentally spraying it over themselves as well as the pizzeria, then it quickly turned into a fight.
"HEY! You boys knock it off!" as they were grabbed by the scruff of their necks and pulled apart by the cleaner, wearing his purple shirt and baseball cap. "You two... AGAIN! Where are the other four? They better not be doing anything like this either!"
"Put us down dumb ass!" snapped Chris as he kicked Billy in the shin, making him drop him to the floor.
"You kids are going to get banned for sure this time." said Billy firmly as he let go off Matt as well. "The manager only lets good kids in here!"
"Or stupid ones like you." sneered Chris as he high five Matt "Isn't that why you work here, because your too thick too work anywhere else?"
Billy clenched his fists tightly, thinking how much he wanted his brother's wrench in his hands again so he could punish the boys and the other kids like he had done before.
"I bet his mum has to dress him in the morning." laughed Matt pointing at Billy as Chris joined in.
"And his dad has to give him a bath..."
"I'm sure that's what your parents will have too do to you... or at least will when I am finished with you."
Billy smiled as the two boys jumped and looked up in fear as Goldie came up to Billy and placed his paw on his shoulder glaring down on the two boys. The two boys tried to act brave, but Goldie's cold stare caused them to cower.
"Now I suggest you get your friends and leave this place until you learn some manners."
"We don't have to do anything you say." said Matt as his knees knocked as he stretched his neck looking up at the animatronic.
Goldie leaned down close to the two boys till his face was up close to theirs, his eyes turning black. "Get out." he growled deeply causing the boys to shout and ran away most likely getting their friends to leave.
Goldie and Billy chuckled and sighed sadly looking at the damage caused by the two boys. "It's going to take me ages to get this all out. I don't know what I'm going to do about the whack-a-mole machine."
"It just needs a lick of paint. Are you alright, Billy? Those kids are not worth getting upset over."
"I'm fine... I just wish they were better behaved." said Billy. "It's a shame we can't do anything about it."
"If they turn up again, tell your brother to get them and take them out the back for their parents to come and get them. I'll let the manager know we're going to ban that group of kids when they next come in and cause trouble. Though if I had my way I would stuff them into the spare suits out the back. They would soon behave then." Goldie chuckled as he patted Billy on the shoulder "Best get back to work, otherwise Freddy will get mad at me and I don't want that! Later Billy."
Billy waved good bye to Goldie as his mind whirled with an idea. Since he got his job at the pizzeria, he had thought the animatronics were wonderful, especially Goldie. The animatronics were full of good intentions and were a good influence on children. Maybe Goldie was right, what if he put the bad children into the spare suits out back for a few hours? They would soon learn their lesson and become good kids. But they wouldn't listen to him... they only listened to Goldie... he would have to do something about that.
-End of Flashback-
Goldie snapped at of recharge as his hard drive almost overheated because of his memory chip. Why had he remembered that? He thought he had that memory locked up with the others? He rubbed his head and momentarily wondered where his hat was when he remembered he took it off to lay down on his bed. He put his hat on and straightened his bow tie as he looked around his room. His room hadn't changed much, same posters and desk with a few old trinkets of the old pizzeria's, but now he had a nice new double bed for him and Freddy. Tom had offered to have the whole room redone, but Goldie turned down the offer, he hadn't quite forgiven Tom for what he had done even if the others had. So why hadn't Freddy and the others forgiven him for what he had done? He did what he did to Dell because he wanted to protect them and the pizzeria from him. Sure, he might have driven him crazy and had him climb into his best friend to die a horrible death and haunt Springtrap for years, but he still had good intentions.
He sat down at his desk and looked down at his proposal to have some of the animatronics moved to another restaurant. It had been Father's original plan to build enough animatronics for three pizzeria's and have them as the three head restaurants of the company. There was enough of them now to at least open up a second store and with Mike proving that he can build animatronics almost as well as Father could, means the old dream could come true. The toys, bar Mangle would go and he was sure Springtrap would like a bit more space as well. That way Junior could be in charge, but have someone older to talk too should he have any problems. It would be good for Junior to have his own place and be his own bear and with him wanting to know how to mate and him and Blu becoming chummy it was probably for the best. Bonnie may be upset with not seeing his brothers, but since Mike would have more free time, he wouldn't be upset for long. Then he could start working on a cub with Freddy. He had already had drawn up some ideas on the design. He'd be tall and well built, a great singer-he'll have the best voice box money can buy, (Thomas can get it, he has plenty of money) and of course the signature hat and bow tie. He was sure Freddy was going to love it. There was a polite knock on his door just Freddy walked in his fur in a bit of disarray.
"Have the kids been climbing over you again?" Goldie asked as Freddy patted down his fur.
"Yep, you know they love their hugs." said Freddy as an uncomfortable silence fell over them. They had tried to talk the night Father had his heart attack, but they still had not cleared the air between them.
"Freddy... I know your mad at me for what I did too Dell, but paw on my pump I honestly was only thinking of everyone's safety at the time. I know I should have told you and I'm... you know..." said Goldie hang his head low as Freddy shook his head.
"You know, unless you actually say the word its not really an apology Goldie." said Freddy as he looked at the large amount of papers on Goldie's desk. "What are you working on? Don't tell me you're still working on splitting our family up!"
Goldie held his hands up as Freddy growled at him "Honeybear, will you just please listen to me for once and actually hear me out before ripping my throat out?!"
Freddy stopped growling, but stood straight and tall with his arms crossed against his chest. Goldie knew that was Freddy's way of saying I'm still really mad at you, but I'll listen so he quickly went into explaining his plan.
"Before you were online, Father and his partner, Mr. Trap, had an idea of having three flag pizzerias with animatronics. When Father built the toys, they were only meant to stay with us for a while, getting experience and then be moved on to another store. But things happened and well you know, but since everyone's back and online, that plan can now go on and honestly it would be better for you Freddy. I've seen how tired you are at the end of your shifts and it's not fair and with Junior asking about mating and stuff, he will want his own place. So here it is, the toys and Springtrap will go to another store and you and I share the shift together and since we will be sharing the shift and both have some free time, we can ask Father to make us a new cub... what do you think?"
Freddy thought about it and he had to admit, it was a really good idea, but he still didn't like the idea of being away from his family where he could not help them.
"We'll should put it to a vote." he suggested. "That way everyone can have their say."
"It would really be for the best Honeybear, not just for Junior but for Chi as well, at least in a new building she can have a fresh start with out having to worry about David trying anything." said Goldie. "As for the cub... here I've done some designs... tell me what you think."
Freddy felt his pump sink slightly as he took the papers off of Goldie and looked at the pictures. The bear in Goldie's pictures was an adult animatronic very much like his design with a few changes to tell them apart. Goldie had known Freddy since he came online and could tell the bear was neither happy or impressed.
"You don't like it."
"Its... nice. Maybe for when the cub is older..." said Freddy as he took off his hat and handed Goldie Mike's designs for Shadow Freddy. "I was hoping for something more like this."
Goldie looked over the pictures and scoffed angrily "You want this? It's tiny, stupid look and... what's this... mute? What's the point in having an animatronic that can't talk?"
"We all can sign for deaf children so why not for him and he's not mute just really soft spoken." said Freddy "and it's a cub design, he can have your idea for a body later when he is older like Mike is going to do for Shadow..."
"SO this is Mike's idea!" snarled Goldie as he ripped up the drawing "Well, no son of mine is going to be built like some... teddy bear! He's going to be strong! A leader!"
"And what I want doesn't matter?" said Freddy, feeling his oil boiling to cover his hurt feelings.
"I didn't say that!" Goldie snapped, then sighed. "Look, lets deal with the possibility of opening another animatronic pizzeria first. No point in building another one if there isn't going to be room for it."
"You know what Goldie" said Freddy as he turned and walked out the room "Tell Father to open up his new pizzeria, but you go alone!"
"What? Freddy!" shouted Goldie as he went to chase after him, but Freddy had already reached the main floor.
-Line Break-
Mike felt the sweat drip down his back as he sat next to Mr McBear in the booth opposite the tall man who gave him the creeps with Shadow on his lap happily coloring in.
"Mike, I'm sorry to call you away from work, but I feel it's my duty as your employer and my apprentice to make sure you don't turn into a scum bag like him." said Mr McBear pointing his bony finger at Mr Dahl, who simply rolled his eyes.
"Really Fred? Sorry about that Mike, your boss is a little sore over the last time we met. I haven't really introduced myself. Yin Sid Dahl, creator and owner of Critter County and I am here to personally to meet you Mike."
A shiver went up Mike's spine as he shook Mr. Dahl's hand. He had never had thought his once idol was... such an odd and creepy guy. He was looking at him like he was a piece of meat that he was ready to dine on.
"So... you and Mr. McBear know each other?"
"Yes,... we were old friends back in the day,... before he built Freddy Frazbear... with my money!" said Dahl as he smirked as Mr McBear slammed his fist on the table.
"I paid you back, you louse! You only loaned me the money to build him and then you wanted to mass produce him and make millions, like you have done with my idea, with those soulless, heartless animatronics that you have running around that park of yours."
Mike looked at McBear and then at Dahl and back again, his eyes blinking as the information sunk in. "Wait... the animatronics at Critter County... are based on Goldie's old designs?"
"At first yes, but of course we have greatly improved them since then and of course have a small army to take care of them as well as millions of kids to love them."
"That's nice." said Mr McBear, his voice dripping in sarcasm before turning to Mike
"What the shit-bag isn't telling you is that he scraps almost a hundred of those much loved animatronics on a yearly bases."
"Only ones that have been in storage too long or are beyond repair. As wonderful as children are, they can play rough and some of the animatronics end up worse for wear. You understand that, don't you Mike? Since you take such good care of McBear's animatronics."
Mike nodded and thought back to Mangle, who had been basically taken apart by kids every day and put back together by staff who were too lazy to look up her instructions. "I'm still a little confused as to why you have called me out here for?"
Mr. Dahl rested his head on the back of his hands as he looked deeply at Mike "Like I said, I have an army of engineers, but none of them care for the animatronics like you do Mike. They're simply told that animatronic 4569b on the Terror lift ride isn't working and to go fix it and be done in five minutes. I would like to offer you a job as my head engineer and train my work force to love the animatronics like you do. You'll be on a six figure salary a year. A nice house on the park grounds of your own. Your own personal office and of course all the animatronics you could possibly want as well as the resources to build and design your own to work in the park."
Shadow squeaked loudly as Mike hugged him tightly "Daddy your hurting me."
"Sorry" Mike muttered as he looked up at Mr Dahl "Sir, I'm really very sorry but..."
"Now before you turn me down again, why don't you and a couple of friends of yours come be my guests at the park. You'll get the full tour and accommodations free and I can even throw a couple of food coupons your way as well." said Mr. Dahl as he handed Mike a card with a phone number on "You just ring that number and my secretary will sort it all out for you. You can even bring Shadow if you like, I'm sure my workers would love to meet him and see your work as well."
"But I..."
"Think of it like this Mike, you get a free holiday for you and your friends and you are under no obligations to say yes to working for me, but you will get to see how ((cough)) better My animatronics are."
Mr McBear who had been sitting gnashing his teeth jumped up and started to wave his cane over Dahl as Mike let go of Shadow and tried to pull him back down into his seat. "TAKE THAT BACK!"
Dahl stood up and brush down his suit as he held out his hand for Mike to shake as the younger man pulled his landlord back into his seat. "I look forward to your call, Mike."
"Thank you." said Mike as he shook his hand "But I don't want you to waste your money sir, I have no desire to leave this place, I love it here, sorry."
"I'm sure you might think differently when you come and if you don't well never mind, but you will never know unless you try. Goodbye Mike, Shadow, and you McBear take care of yourself now. I'd hate for you to have another heart attack before you get to see me take Mike away from you." he laughed as he made his way out not caring that McBear was giving him the finger behind his back.
"Damn! That guy is creepy" Mike muttered as he petted Shadow's head.
"He's more than creepy Mike. He's a powerful man who is used to getting his own way. So watch yourself about him." said McBear as he drank his drink.
"Did you guys really use to work together?"
"Oh yes. He had money and connections and I had the hands and the ideas. Sadly, our ideas were very different. I wanted to have a few large restaurants for family's that had animatronics working there. Each one unique and different not like in that park where they all look alike."
"So Goldie was right then, you do want to split them up and have some of them at another pizzeria?"
"I did once. But I wouldn't split them up now, not after so many years apart and besides, there are enough designs, endoskeletons, and models in the old warehouse we can use."
"Really? What kind of models?" Mike asked excitedly, his eyes lighting up.
"Well, there is one I remember... a female version of Balloon Boy,... but instead of balloons she was meant to blow bubbles... I hadn't finished her before the killings happened and well... you know the rest and she was put into storage. Maybe one day you can finish her for me."
"That would be awesome!" smiled Mike already thinking of the tools he would need.
"And Mike do me a favor. Take Dahl up on his offer for the holiday"
"WHAT?"
"Yep, take your two friends from here and I want you three to send that stuck up prick to the poor house. Eat him out of house and home, make him buy you stuff, even if you don't want it, go to town on everything and leave him the bill!"
Mike blinked for a second before he burst out laughing with the older man joining in.

They were sitting in their room thinking, they hadn't left it in days, they really need to take a bath, but what was the point? They were having that nightmare again! The Gold Bear and the Purple Guy! They needed to be stopped! But first they had to stop the person who was responsible for bringing this all about! The repair man! He was the one that had brought all this back from the past. It was all his fault! They had to get him,... but how? There was a knock on their door, but they ignored it as usual.
"Sweetie? It's your mom... can you please come to the door so we can talk?"
They were too busy thinking to care about what she wanted.
"Sweetie? Please! It's been almost a week now and you've missed your doctors appointment. You know you need to see him so he can help you!"
They had had enough. They got up from their bed and unplugged their lamp and threw it at the door with a smash.
"LEAVE US ALONE!"
"Honey..." Their mother sobbed "There is no one else in there with you... you're on your own... there is no "us". Please go to the doctor!"

Billy sat in Missy office, trying very hard not to smile and be smug, but after all these months of waiting, he was finally going to be given his tag. Missy had sat down with him and gone over everything he had done over the last few months.
"Your behavior is wonderful, you've stuck to all the rules, kept your job and your doctor is pleased with your progress... there is of course that small hiccup with the police a week ago, but since no charges were brought up it can be overlooked. The tag will be placed around your ankle, from the moment you leave until the moment you get back, if there are any signs of it being tampered with or been deliberately damaged then you can be facing jail again for the remain of your sentence. You can stay out as late at ten, but no later and in your case you are not allowed anywhere near places with a large amount of children. You will be monitored Billy, so don't think we won't be watching 'cause we will, you so much as go near a park or school we will know."
"I understand Missy and thank you for giving me this chance..." said Billy as he looked at the large bulky object around his ankle. "How is Simon by the way?"
Missy gave Billy a suspicious look "He's fine, luckily for him it was only a few hair line fractions and nothing too serious, it was rather odd how he fell over the banister from the top floor wouldn't you say?"
"Could be he was punished for being a bad kid? Who knows?"
Missy had in her day stared down hardened murders, thugs and once a pro wrestler without breaking a sweat, but Billy's smile at that moment gave her the shivers.
"Well, I think it's too late to go out today, will you be needing a lift to work and the doctors or can we trust you on public transport?"
"Oh, you can trust me Missy. I'll be very, very good"
Missy waited until Billy had closed her door to shake off the icky feeling he had given her and made a mental note to put extra bubbles in her bath tonight.

Mike sat quietly in the security office, eating a chocolate bar as he skimmed over the cameras. Chica and Chi were in the kitchen. Foxy, Mangle, Net, BB, and Shadow were going over their plans for the birthday parties that were being held tomorrow. Fred and Blu were chatting on the stage while Bonnie played on his guitar. He hadn't seen either Freddy or Goldie all night, but that wasn't too unusual. Mike thought about Mr Dahl and his offer. He hadn't had a real holiday in years, his parents were always too busy to take him anyway and he had always dreamed of going to Critter County. He had holiday to spare with the company and he was sure Jeremy and Emily would go with him if he asked. The only two problems he had was Shadow and the animatronics. There was no way he could take Shadow with him to that place, he could easily get lost or worse, stolen, plus he didn't trust Mr Dahl to try and use Shadow in order to get him to work for him. No, he would have to stay here, Bonnie would be happy to have him, but would be so upset over him going away for so long. The animatronics were really upset over him being away for a few days while training so he dreaded what they were going to be like with him being away for a week. He would have to stock up on energy drinks and lube the week before he went because the animatronics would no doubt demand their "maintenance". Mike's train of thought was broken by the ringing of the office phone. He picked up the receiver and held it to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mike Schmidt? I'm Officer Chase, I'm the officer dealing with the fake dead body that was found in front of the Pizzeria?"
"Officer Chase, thanks for calling, yeah its me, do you have any leads or something?" Mike asked as he twirled the cord around his fingers.
"Afraid not. Whoever was responsible for this was good. They left no fingerprints, no hairs, no nothing. I'm sorry we have nothing to go on and other cases are piling up so... unless something else happens..."
"You're going to investigate further." Mike muttered and groaned. He had expected that really, after all people at the top would have seen it as a disgusting prank, but not something they needed to look too deeply into, especially when there were muggings, drugs, and murders going on. "I understand."
"Thank you Mr. Schmidt, while I have you on the phone, one of our tech guys has asked me to pass on a message. Concerning the facial recognition software in the animatronics?"
"The one that helps them point out any one of the offenders list? Yeah, what about it?"
"They're doing some major works on our computer systems over the course of the next few weeks, meaning that part of their software will be inactive, nor will they be able to contact the police with it either. You guys are going to have to be extra vigilant for a while and not depend on the animatronics to protect the kids."
"We'll do that, thanks for all your help officer, good night." said Mike politely as he put down the phone all the while his mind was screaming "Fuck! Not good!"
Well, he couldn't go on holiday now, not with the animatronics and pizzeria defenseless against pedos and other creeps. He'd have to tell Tom and Jeremy as well and see if they could come up with some sort of plan. He was so busy thinking that he didn't even notice Freddy coming in. Freddy walked quietly up to Mike until he was standing behind his chair before quickly placing a paw over Mike's mouth. Mike screamed behind Freddy's paw and looked up wide eyed at the large bear animatronic.
"Had you have done this at the beginning Mike, I would be half way down the hallway with you by now, getting ready to stuff you into a suit." said Freddy with a sad smile as he released Mike, who spun in his chair to glare up at him.
"Not cool Freddy! You almost gave me a heart attack. You ok? You've seen down all afternoon. Did you get a chance to talk to Goldie?"
Freddy slumped, his head hanging low as he looked at the floor "Goldie... didn't like Shadow Freddy... he ripped up his designs... he doesn't care about what I or anyone else wants as long as he fulfills father's dream."
"Oh man! Shit, Freddy, I'm sorry. Please don't be sad." said Mike as he got out of his seat and hugged him, his large head resting on his shoulder as his hands blearily met around Freddy's back. "I really thought... I guess I don't know Goldie that well...?"
Freddy placed his arms around Mike and hugged him back just as tightly as oil threatened to leak from his optics. Goldie came out of his room with the intention of talking to Mike about his drawing of Shadow Freddy and to tell him to stay out of "Freddy's" business when he stepped into the security room. All his systems turned red, everything whirled and hissed inside of him as his hard drive practically hummed with warning as he left out a roar. Neither Mike or Freddy had time to react as Goldie grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and yanked him away from Freddy. He then gripped Mike's face tightly in his paw and with great force, slammed the back of Mike's head into the back wall of the small office. Goldie released him and then watched as Mike slowly slid to the floor, leaving a long blood stain against the wall.
