I know it's been such a long while since I've last updated... but I'm back!

Oh dear, what did I get myself into…

Freddy knew he didn't have a long time to search the restaurant, knowing that Baby was waiting outside for him to finish. He first checked the prize corner, every restroom, and every single room that he could think of. It wasn't until his phone started to ring that he started to slow down. He answered it, and continued to search. "Yeah? Who is this?"

"IT'S MEEEE!" his boss yelled.

"Holy crap, shush just a tiny bit this time. I'm-"

"YES I KNOW. YOU WENT BACK IN THE BUILDING. WHY DID YOU DO THAT, IF I MAY ASK?"

"BB, one of my co-workers, didn't come out. I'm just making sure that he isn't actually here, because I know that I didn't see him come out of this building." He was still frantically searching every closet and room for this boy. "I'll call you back, I don't have much time and-"

"TAKE YOUR TIME. I'VE GOT THIS COVERED," his boss answered with a cheery tone.

"What? How did-"

"JUST TRUST ME AND GOOOOOOOO!" his boss yelled, and instantly hung up. Freddy sighed and decided to trust him. He really wanted to ask him where he was that morning, but Freddy just shook away the thought as he went in another party room. After a couple more minutes of searching, Freddy was just about to give up and go home. But then he heard a muffled voice coming from the walls.

"Mmmmmf!" the voice whined, sounding like it needed help. Freddy looked around, and noticed it was coming from the Supply Room. That damn Supply Room. Freddy opened the door and ran in. He didn't see anything different though. Maybe I missed something when I checked here before… he thought. He started to push boxes around, move books off shelves, and searched Yenndo's desk for anything suspicious.

"Why can't I find ANYTHING?" Freddy scolded to himself, "There must be SOMETHING here for god's sakes! I KNOW IT!" More minutes passed as Freddy was getting more and more furious. He could hear the small yelps for help, and he couldn't do anything about it. "THAT'S IT! I'M DONE!" Freddy turned and punched the concrete wall with all his might, making a small dent in it. He pulled his fist back and was surprised at the small dent that he made. "Whoa. Okay… calm down Freddy… just… calm… down… wait a second." He looked closer at the dent in the wall. "There is no way I could make a dent in a solid three-foot concrete wall…" As he carefully examined the wall, he poked it a few times. The wall felt soft, like clay. "Are you… flippin' serious."

Freddy pushed the clay wall and a small chunk of the wall slowly slid back, as if it was a door. Freddy just stood there in amusement and anger. It was there… the whole time?! HOW STUPID CAN I BE? "UGH! I can't believe it. I'm such an idiot." Freddy smacked himself on the forehead and then pulled out his flashlight. The door led to a dark corridor of stairs leading down. Freddy sighed again as he slowly made his way down the stairs. "Why couldn't a big, bright room covered in rainbows and butterflies be on the other side… ugh…"

Foxy told his workers to head back to the NEWS station as he made his way over to the other red-haired girl across the street. According to his brother's boss that he just got a call from, Freddy needed a diversion for a small while. Foxy waltzed over to Baby, who was waiting patiently for Freddy to return. "Gosh darnit. What is taking him so long?" she whispered to herself. He slowly got up right behind her and smiled.

"Hello."

"WHAHHH!" Baby yelled. "HOLY CUPCAKES AND ICE CREAM! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?"

"Haha, don't worry about that, my dear," Foxy said, using his 'sexy' voice. "I just wanted to know a bit more about you."

"Uh… what?" Baby slowly backed away from him as he continued to smile. Foxy absolutely liked nothing about this girl, but it was the first thing he thought of, to flirt.

"I've been wondering, were you born with that luscious and smooth red hair of yours?"

"Uh…" Baby was confused. "Yes, but- look. I don't have time for this right now. I'm kinda busy, ya know? I have to wait for my co-worker to come out."

"You don't look very… busy…" Foxy implied. He slowly slid his hand over her cheek. "You're cute…"

"WHA-? No! No! Stop!" Baby yelped as she backed away from him, blushing. "L-leave me alone! I'm… uh… not…"

"You don't wanna leave me… now do you?" He held out his hand. "Come on, don't be shy." Baby's cheeks were so red, that she looked like tomato.

"Ehehe… uh…"

Freddy made his way down the flight of stairs. He wondered where these stairs would lead, and why they were here in the first place. It was really dark, and Freddy couldn't see a thing without pointing his flashlight over it. Soon, the stairs came to an end and there was a big room. "Whoa…" Freddy mumbled. "Why is this underneath a restaurant?" There was a long hallway that extended from the big room with small, purple lamps on the walls. Freddy wondered if he should have gone down here without any backup, but he had to find BB. He looked around the big room first, before heading down the long hallway.

There were only a couple of pipes and boxes scattered around the place. It wasn't really filled with anything that stood out, except…

Holy crap is that BB?

There was a leg peeking from behind one of the boxes. He pushed it out of the way, and saw BB, tied up, with duct tape over his mouth. "BB! Are you okay?" Freddy asked, but softly, just in case anyone else was down here. BB shook his head and his eyes were trying to stay open. Freddy knew that there was no time to untie him now, so he picked up the small child and started to head back over to the stairs.

"MMMMF!" BB exclaimed.

"What is it BB?"

"MMMMF! MMMM!" He tilted his head over to a corner and started to wriggle in Freddy's arms. Freddy nodded and walked over to the corner. There were a ton of boxes and a blanket covering most of them. Freddy looked at BB and he was freaking out.

"What's over here BB? I don't see anything!"

BB motioned over to the blanket. Freddy grabbed the blanket and lifted it up. "Holy- is that- JJ?!"

"MMMMFF! MMMMMMFFFFF!"

Now Freddy understood why BB was freaking out so much. BB loved JJ, and didn't want to leave her here. Freddy lifted JJ softly in his arms and noticed that she was completely out cold. She was also tied up, but didn't have anything covering her mouth. He then lifted BB in his other arm and put the flashlight in his mouth so he could still see.

What the hell am I doing?

He walked up the stairs as quickly as possible with two children in his arms, and was almost to the top. He could see the secret door and was relieved for once. He walked through the door, shut it behind him with one foot, and looked at his surroundings. Nobody was there, so he walked out of the storage room and behind the stage. He set BB and JJ down on the ground.

Taking the tape off of his mouth, he asked, "BB? Are you feeling alright?"

BB sighed and shook his head as Freddy untied him. "I don't feel well F-Freddy… I'm scared…"

"It's going to be alright BB, trust me."

"How did you know…?"

"Know what?" Freddy asked, starting to untie JJ.

"Know that there was a passage in the storage room?"

"I heard your voice. So all I did was look around, and then I found that door."

BB slowly closed his eyes. "Is… JJ alright?"

Freddy examined her. She wasn't injured, in fact, she looked better than BB at the moment. "She's fine. There's no sign of injury." Freddy waited for a response from BB, but he passed out.

Freddy decided to call his boss.

"HEL-"

"I'm sorry boss, but I need you to shut up for one second."

Immediately, Marionette closed his mouth and waited.

"I found BB and some other child. I'll tell you more when I get back, but for now I need to get out of here somehow. Is Baby still occupied?"

"YES," Marionette answered in a mildly quieter tone, (to the best of his ability).

"Alright. But how do I get these children out of here? Is there a back door somewhere?"

"HEAD DOWN THE LEFT HALLWAY AND THERE SHOULD BE A DOOR AT THE END. I GOT EVERYTHING COVERED. NOW, HURRY!"

Freddy hung up and picked up the two children. He maneuvered around the hallways and rooms, making sure that no one was there. This was tiring, he didn't get much sleep last night, almost turned into a pancake during a performance, and had to save two children from being kidnapped.

Freddy finally made it to the back exit and opened it. It lead into a dark alleyway, with garbage cans and rusty pipelines. "Alright… now where do I do from here..?"

"Freddy! Over here!" a voice that Freddy recognized all too well said. Freddy looked to his right, and saw that at the end of the alleyway, a car was waiting for him. The window was rolled down, and there, Freddy could see another one of his siblings, Bonnie.

Freddy didn't have the time to complain about why his younger brother was here at the moment, so he ran over to his brother's car and Bonnie opened the door.

"I swear if my boss-"

"Yeah, he did. But don't talk about it now! Those children need to get some help! I'll take them over to your pizzeria headquarter place or whatever, just meet us there!" His brother Bonnie motioned to Freddy to set BB and JJ down in the back seats. Freddy did so, and then shut the door. Bonnie said before leaving, "I'll meet you there! Don't get yourself into any more trouble, please."

Freddy nodded as Bonnie drove off with BB and JJ in the car. He sighed, and then realized that he had to get out the front door immediately. He went back in the restaurant, and headed over to the front doors. He pushed them open, and saw Foxy talking to Baby.

THAT was Baby's diversion? Ugh, Puppet.

"Hey Baby!" Freddy yelled. She turned her red face over to Freddy and giggled.

"Eheh... Freddy… this news reporter was talking to me about work…" she said as she pointed to Foxy, who looked like he was also having a great time. But Freddy knew that on the inside, Foxy wasn't enjoying a single thing about Baby.

"Alright, I'm sorry I took so long. I'm going to head home now, alright?" Freddy started to walk away slowly, trying to brush off the fact that he was in there for almost an hour.

"Of course! It's no big deal. See you tomorrow!" She waved and Freddy waved back, making his way to the Puppet Pizzeria. Holy moly, Foxy really brought out the big guns. I've never seen Baby acting like that before… but… even though she seems so innocent, I have to remember that she might be an accomplice to the Purple Guy. Also, I still wonder how the Purple Guy knows about Marionette. Have they met before? If so, why didn't he tell me?

Why were BB and JJ down the secret room? Did someone take them on purpose?

Of course Freddy, that's why they were tied up. Stop asking yourself stupid questions.

Why is there a secret room in a restaurant anyways? What was down that long hallway that I didn't go to?

UGH! So many unanswered questions.

Freddy made it to the pizzeria and saw Bonnie's car parked next to the building. "Good… that means he made it." He walked in and made his way to the secret base.
