6 am and all was well. Maya called off the search and Michael had taken the Fredbear plushie from the office quietly. He sadly smiled at it.
"Thanks Steven...for everything..." He whispered quietly.
As he put the plushie into his pocket, Maya came in behind him. She smiled at him, brushing some of her hair out of her face nervously.
"You ready to blow this popsicle stand?" She asked him.
Michael turned to her in a bit of confusion and answered, asking his own question, "Since when has Freddy's been a popsicle stand...?"
Maya giggled softly as she explained, "It's what we Americans say when we are ready to leave a place."
Michael placed a hand on his chin thoughtfully as he repeated, "Then I would very much like to blow this popsicle stand." Maya giggled as he looked at her, confused. He asked, "What?"
Maya answered, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly, "Nothing, its just...your accent and your awkwardness makes it cute."
Michael couldn't help but blush as he took Maya's hand. She was the one to blush as the two of them headed out of Freddy's, hand in hand.
...
A few hours later, everyone was all together at the hospital. Joe was talking with Jeremy and Izzy, getting to know them. Bill was talking to Sal and Connie (whom was off early from her classes). Michael and Maya were holding hands, smiling at the other. Sergio was the only one not there, since he was working still.
"Tonight is your last night at Freddy's." Maya told Michael.
"I just hope it isn't too bad." Michael admitted.
"My fifth night was a nightmare. Withered Bonnie was a total bitch." Jeremy stated. He then turned to Joe and asked, "Bonnie is a girl, right?"
"Yes Jeremy, you got it right." Joe confirmed, nodding.
"Not like it matters. They are all killer animantronics." Izzy pointed out.
"Which reminds me, what are we going to do now that they know Michael isn't William?" Bill asked.
"I don't think we have to do much of anything." Sal answered truthfully.
"Yeah, all Mike has to do is survive his last night." Connie stated.
"I just hope William doesn't come after me anytime soon." Bill groaned.
"If he thinks I am dead, he may do so." Joe pointed out.
"Which means I keep guarding you til we get enough evidence to toss the book at William." Sal told Bill.
"Too bad we don't have much evidence right now." Izzy complained.
"What about Joe's tapes?" Connie asked.
"It isn't enough. We need physical evidence for the DA not to throw the case back at us. That's happened to me more times than I care to admit." Maya replied.
"Man this stinks..." Jeremy mumbled.
"On that, we agree." Michael added.
Just then, a young male voice spoke on Maya's walkie-talkie.
"Chief Richards, Dave Miller has been spotted going into Henry Cecal's house." He reported.
"Thanks rookie." Maya replied, turning off the walkie-talkie. The rookie left as she added, "Jeremy and I had this theory that Dave Miller is William Afton."
"So why did he go to my Dad's place exactly?" Joe asked, looking at Michael.
Michael looked thoughtful and then explained, "I remember Henry having a secret tunnel that led to Circus Baby Rentals underground, our old house above ground, and Freddy's wasn't too far from that."
Sal asked, "Is he using the tunnels to get to place to place to avoid us?"
Jeremy stated, "That's our theory. He probably went to your college to see what he could learn from the students there - more specifically Connie - since he knew she is my little sister and I tell her everything."
Izzy gasped, "So that's why he kept insisting on helping Connie!"
Connie shivered, "And here I thought he was being nice..."
Jeremy held his little sister close, very protectively.
Bill asked, "Okay so we know where he is. How does this help us?"
Maya explained, "Well I think he's going to Freddy's. Not to see if Joe is dead but to get rid of the animantronics themselves. If they do have the bodies in them and William is starting to feel desperate, he may go here and take out the animantronics under the cover of night."
Sal asked, "So does that mean we should be there and catch him in the act?"
Maya answered, "Yes, that's the idea."
Jeremy stated, "Count me in. I want to see the fireworks."
Izzy replied, "I can't go, I am working tonight."
Michael reported, "Then it will be Maya, Jeremy, and me. Since we should keep Sal on security detail in case we are wrong."
Sal teased, "Oh you just want your girlfriend to stay close to you."
Maya blushed but Michael turned a beat red. Everyone laughed as Sal turned pale for a split second. He saw something golden in Michael's pocket. No way...it couldn't be...could it? As Jeremy left with Maya and Michael, Bill placed his hand on Sal's shoulder.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, thought I saw a ghost." Sal admitted.
"After all of this, I want to never see a ghost again." Joe firmly stated.
"Hopefully, after this, none of us will." Izzy agreed.
To that, Joe nodded in agreement. Sal couldn't shake the feeling of a ghost watching over them.
...
"Hey Lilly!" A young Steven gushed. He held up a Fredbear plush doll up proudly and added, "Look at what father gave me! I absolutely love it!"
"That's so cool Steven!" Lilly gushed.
"Yeah, you get Baby and I get this!" Steven agreed.
"What does Michael get?" Lilly asked, trying to hold back a giggle.
"He can have my Foxy plushie, I guess..." Steven replied, feeling deflated.
Before Lilly could say anything else, they heard their father calling to them.
"Come on you two! Today is the big day!" William shouted.
"The grand opening of Baby's new place!" Lilly squealed. "And I get to play with her!"
"Didn't father say not to?" Steven asked.
"Like I am gonna let that stop me?" Lilly questioned, running out of her room.
The last time she would ever do that...
