So I was back to square one. I knew nobody would believe me if I ever tried to say that the animatronics come to life at night, and the two witnesses had no recollection of the person's face. Aside from that there was still that weird scrambled message that I just could not get scramble. To be frank, I was stuck or at least I thought I was until I made a recording. I was pretty excided at first, but then I dug in a little bit deeper into trying to get the message cleared up. I thought at first the message was an excerpt from the book Autobiography of a yogi, but I was wrong and as I cleaned up the last bits of the message, I realized that this was far more than just any book
"Bonnie, Freddy come here quick!"
"What is it Mike?" Freddy asked
"I decoded that message."
And?"
"Not good.
"How do you know that? "
"Just listen. now this isn't perfect, but it's enough to get the message across." I reminded the track and adjusted everything for the maximum clarity. The voice was distorted, but it was readable
It would have been wise for you and your friend's to have escaped while you still had the chance…easily possible to employ…in the laboratory ...in the event that you started snooping around, in affairs that didn't concern you, I've relied on fear in hopes of driving you away but that back…none of that matters anyway . You're right as you will remain but if you read all the notes you'll know I bring the joy of creat….
The message ended in static ad it was over. Freddy just continued to mumble the last line over and over again until his eyes widened in horror.
"The joy of creation. Those were the words that…that."
"That the killer said before he stuffed you guys in those suits." I finished.
"But that means." Bonnie shuddered.
"The Killer has been hear the whole time he knows who I am. He's been trying to scare me away, and now that he knows I won't be frightened away, he's going to try and…"
"Oh Mike..." Bonnie said crying "Mike no…" She grabbed me in a full bear hug and refused to let go.
"But how." Freddy asked the only way he would have been able to know is if he was spying on you from in here. There has to be something…" Freddy all of the sudden peered over my shoulders and squinted his eyes. "Wait a sec."
He reached over and grabbed what looked like Chica's Prop cupcake.
"It's this cupcake it's doubling as a hidden camera."
I simply faced the cupcake. I knew he was watching me. I took a deep breath, trying to hold back tears and anger.
"Your right whoever you are, your little plan to scare me off did backfire. You know who I am. I know who you are. Heck we talked to each other not realizing how this was going to end. Make no mistake I know who you are. You killed my aunt, you kidnapped my mother, and you framed an innocent man for murder. Perhaps it was destiny I came here. Maybe we were meant to settle unfinished business I don' care how great you think you are, I don't care if you bring the joy of creation. Every night you called me telling how evil these…kids were, how they would stuff me in a suit when they had the chance. The sad part is for the first couple of days, I believed you. But I'll tell you this after a month at working here; I can tell you that the only monster here is you. Make no mistake I will never be afraid of you. Not now, not ever!"
As I turned away, Bonnie made a full dive and chewed the camera to bits.
"You know who the killer is?" Freddy asked "Who?"
"I'll show you guys."
I went in to Jeff's office, and rummaged through his drawers. When I found some papers I knew I had what I was looking for. The papers read as follows
Jefferson T Blumberg is revoked of his biotechnology license after recent evident points in the partaking of some highly dangerous and immoral experiments involving artificial intelligence and the use of Rat brains in robotic exoskeletons he is also revoked of all lab privileges and is banished from the premises.
On the back of the paper was the same speech that my mom remembered
"They said I was crazy. Your off your rocker me boy. There is no way metal is alive that is impossible. But they didn't know. They didn't realize that the key to artificial life, True Artificial intelligence…is a soul…a human…soul. They expelled me from my laboratory. Called me a hack! But I'll show them. Oh yes I'll show them. And on the day of my funeral they will know the joy of creation!"
I showed the guys the paper. "No" Freddy said. "You mean to tell me it was Jeff that whole time?"
I nodded.
"But how? The dude is hunched. He stutters. He doesn't seem capable.
"It could be a guise. Make himself look weak."
We were all silent until Bonnie spoke up.
"Mike…I think you should leave."
I was shocked "What why?"
"Mike this job isn't worth the crap you have to go through. You can find a higher paying job anywhere. As a friend who is trying to do what is best, I suggest you leave now."
"No. I'm not going. I've been through too much with you guys I'm not backing out now. Besides he won't let me leave anyway."
"Mike. You've sacrificed so much already there is no reason why you should have to sacrifice your life."
"Sometimes the greatest thing to do is sacrifice your life from someone else."
Bonnie sighed when she realized I wasn't going to budge. "You are either really brave or just flat out stupid."
So here it was the climax had come. The final showdown was drawing nigh.
A/N: After Nine chapters the climax of this Arc has come the final encounter Between Jeff and Mike is about to come. Note. I also don't know if that is the actual message of the 5th night I just made it up. Hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to read and review.
