I walked back inside Freddy's and went to say goodbye to Shaun and the animatronics.
"Hey Shaun, I have to go, see ya," I told him.
"Bye? What on Earth are you talking about?" he asked me.
"I'm fired, I'm so sorry Shaun, I let you down, I let everyone down," I sobbed.
"Oh, please don't cry, you're not leaving, I'm gonna talk to my dad, maybe we can come to some sort of an agreement," Shaun said patting me on the back.
"Really?" I asked him, looking up to wipe my tears.
"Really, now dry those eyes, you're a valuable employee and I'd hate to lose a good friend, now get out there and have some fun," he said as he punched me playfully in the shoulder.
"Gotcha boss," I grinned, "I had better talk to the machines, we kind of had a falling out earlier," I told him.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked me, curious.
"Those machines are alive, they're living, breathing, human beings, I hurt them and I want to apologize," I explained.
"I understand, you gotta do what you gotta do," he told me.
"Also, I'm not gonna rest til I find the killer and bring him to justice," I declared.
"Jeremy, just let the cops handle it, I mean it's not our business," he shuffled uncomfortably.
"I am a cop, undercover actually," I confessed.
"What? And you didn't even think about telling me? What is wrong with you?" he asked me, stunned.
"Is that why my dad fired you?" he asked me, serious.
"Yes, it is, and I may have almost put him in jail," I told him.
"You better not do it again," he warned me, "but I am glad that someone's finally taken an interest in the missing children."
"You're rehired, and please don't screw up," he begged me.
"I promise I won't," I said with my hand on my chest, raising my right hand in the air.
"Uh, well I gotta go now good luck on Night 3," he told me.
"Don't worry, I'm a natural!" I grinned.
"Bonnie, Bonnie, wait up," I said as I ran over to him, where I found him tuning his guitar.
"Yeah," he looked up.
"I'm sorry for what I've done, but I swear, you will get justice, I promise," I told him.
"I don't care anyways, but thank you Jere," Bonnie got up and hugged me, "I forgive you."
"Thank you Bon," I told him.
"I got a song for you, if you'd like," he offered.
"Sure, I'd love a song," I told him.
"Hey Jeremy, how are you?" Chica asked me.
"I'm great thanks for asking, listen I just wanna.." I began.
Chica shushed me, "you don't have to apologize, it wasn't your fault," she said.
"Eli, do you forgive me?" I asked Toy Freddy.
"Of course I do, you didn't do anything," he shrugged.
"Balloon Boy?" I asked him.
He just giggled.
I patted him on the head, and he just smiled.
I'm gonna go talk to puppet," I told them.
"Be careful, he really hates you," Chickadee said.
"Oh, I'm sure he doesn't mean it, right guys?" I asked.
"Just be careful, Jere, for your sake," Bonnie warned.
"I will, I said, hey when I get back I'll be expecting a great song out of you guys," I told him.
"Don't worry, boss," Bonnie grinned, "this one's just for you."
I walked over to Prize Corner, and got chills as the puppet stares at me with silver eyes, his fury unrelenting, seeking a life that he could never have, blaming me and wishing vengeance on the man that ruined his life, "go away."
"Puppet, I just wanna say I'm sorry, I didn't know please forgive me,"I begged him.
"Go to hell, you monster, you ruined me, I'll never forgive you, and if they don't understand, I'll make them understand," he warned.
"What do you mean by that?" I said arching my eyebrow.
"You'll see," he smiled with menace in his silver eyes.
"Jeremy, we're ready," Bonnie said with a smile, "you ready, friend?"
"Of course Bon, I'm ready to hear your song," I smiled.
(Monsters by Imagine Dragons)
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my monsters hide
It's where my monsters hide
I rushed over to Bonnie and hugged him, "it's Ok, I'm here for ya, buddy."
"Thanks, Jeremy," he cried, "you're a good friend."
"Don't let anyone call you a monster, understand?" I asked him, "if it wasn't for you I would have bled out and died because of Foxy, you are a hero."
A few nights ago, these same machines tried to kill me, now we were best friends.
For a moment, I almost forgot that I was talking to a machine and not an actual person, but I didn't care, I just wanted the children to be safe.
