A/N- I can't wait to get this story done. I have plenty of ideas for Fresh Meat. This a short chapter.

Chapter 10- SAVE THEM

I exited the pizzeria, only to find myself back where I was going to leave.

"Save them!" I heard a voice cry out. I saw Jack drift down the hall. Freddy followed behind.

The robot bear paused. "Uh, Jack, what's wrong? You looked spooked."

Jack lowered his head. "Dead... Five dead."

I hid behind an arcade cabinet. Jack was the only one who noticed me during these dreams. He better not turn his attention to me.

The two started moving. I made the decision to follow them. I made my way down the dark corridors.

Freddy stared dumbfounded at each one they passed. "We could've gotten him sooner," he droned.

"But they had to switch him over to the day shift," Jack replied.

"Day shift? You mean, the guy in there is not the one we want?"

Jack shook his head. "We got it wrong the entire time."

I think I woke up at this point. The phone just wouldn't stop ringing. Without even picking up the phone, I knew it was Fritz.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey, Mike," Fritz replied. "I just want to ask about your experiences."

"At Freddy's?" I asked, slightly irritated. I didn't like being woken up.

"Yeah." I think I heard the rustle of paper.

I cleared my throat before letting my thoughts out.

"Well, I recently quit my job from there. I only found out the place was haunted on my fourth night working there?"

Fritz paused. "Wait, the place was haunted?"

"Yes."

"So, that's why it's closed down. You know, I've always wanted to be a ghost hunter as a kid."

I wrinkled my nose. What if my friends hadn't truly left? What if Toby Blood is still out there somewhere?

Okay, so the conversation ended soon after that. I had to drive past the old pizzeria on the way to the store. I ran out of milk. I looked at the parking lot. A single purple car lay in front of the restaurant. I spotted a man climb out of the driver's seat, carrying a set of tools. What if he was salvaging parts for some odd purpose?

I don't know. I really don't know.

Oh, damn. I forgot to ask Fritz who Jeremy Fitzgerald is.
