FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: SECURITY BREACH
- SUPERSTAR EDITION -
Hour 1.5: Gregory Rests, Vanessa Steps Up
~ 12:45 am | Main Entrance - Receptionist Desk ~
Gregory had to wait for a while after "Willie" departed in order to get Freddy and Foxy back on their feet. While it did take them a good amount of time, none of the other animatronics came their way on their mad hunt. They then returned to the front entrance where Vanessa would be waiting for them to report in. But when they reached the desk, they found Vanessa asleep by the keyboard of the computer. Her head rested comfortably atop her folded arms, leaning over in her chair.
"Vanessa…? Is she…sleeping?" Gregory asked.
"Vanessa does work the evening hours here at the Pizzaplex. It should be no surprise that she may need time to catch up on her sleeping." Freddy explained. Foxy scratched his head.
"But NOW? While this place is all up in a frenzy?" he asked, turning to Freddy. Gregory slowly approached Vanessa before starting to shake her.
"Vanessa? Wake up." he whispered, trying not to alert himself as well. The shaking was eventually enough to rattle the sleeping night guard. Her eyes slowly squinted open as she looked down at Gregory eyeing her.
"H-Huh? Gregory….oh. I'm sorry…must've dozed off." she muttered, rubbing her eyes. Freddy approached from behind and leaned over above Gregory.
"Good evening, Officer Vanessa. I hope you are well rested after your short nap." he replied. Vanessa yawned again, asking Freddy what time it was before swiveling her chair around. Thanks to her half awake brain, she did not react right away to seeing Captain Foxy standing before her. But once the daze faded, her eyes widened and she let out a horrified scream, jumping from her seat in a panic.
"W-W-What is THAT?! Where did it come from?! G-Get outta here, MONSTER!" she exclaimed, feverishly fishing through her tools before bringing out a tazer. Everyone gasped as, fast as a bullet, she drove the tazer's electrified points in Foxy. The animatronic howled loudly as electrical surges overtook and eventually caused him to fall over. He laid in a daze, his head stuttering slightly.
"W-W-What did I d-d-d-do?!" Foxy asked, still paralyzed. Freddy and Gregory hurried and calmed Vanessa down, taking hold of her from each side.
"O-Officer Vanessa! Calm down! Do you not recognize him? It's Foxy from the "Children's Cove" attraction!" Freddy explained "We found him when Gregory went to check on the Daycare!" Hearing this, Vanessa gasped and looked down at Foxy. She then quickly dropped her tazer and began bowing repeatedly.
"Oh my gosh! I am SO SORRY, Foxy! A-Are you okay?!" she asked. Foxy slowly raised his arm up before making a thumbs up despite his body jittering.
"I-I'm….okay….l-lassie. D-Don't worry…" he muttered.
~ 12:50 am | Vanessa's Office - Lost and Found ~
The group waited once more for Foxy to recover from his unexpected attack. Shortly after, they made their way to the Lost and Found office behind the gift shop. Gregory knew this place as the room he awoke in earlier after being forced here. During this time, they locked the only door entering the room as Gregory gave her the newspaper he found while in the Daycare. Foxy stood near the doorway, arms crossed, while Vanessa, Gregory and Freddy read through the paper.
"What? Missing children? And so close to here? T-This is the first I ever heard of this." Vanessa said, scanning each sentence. Freddy could not help but feel worried.
"You do not think whatever we are going through tonight has anything to do with this, do you?" the large animatronic asked. Vanessa groaned, putting a hand to her forehead.
"I don't know Freddy. Like I said, this is ALL new to me. A-And you said you found this by the reception desk at the Daycare?" she said, turning to Gregory who nodded back "This cannot be a mere coincidence. The only problem…is I don't recall ever seeing any of these kids around the Pizzaplex when I did my previous night shifts." She set the paper aside before looking through the files at her disposal, seeing if there were any records of the missing children among the visitors.
"Ugh. I doubt I have the attention span to read through all this corporate mumbo jumbo just to find some children names." Vanessa sighed. Just then, the group heard someone in the room beginning to yawn. All eyes soon turned to Gregory.
"W-What?" he asked "I-I'm not tired." Foxy merely shrugged.
"Sounded like that to me, matey. Must be recoupin' from that tussle we got in with the Daycare attendant." he said, causing Vanessa to gasp.
"Wait. Sun's acting up too?!" she asked.
"N-Not anymore. We were able to free him from whatever was afflicting him. He's in his room resting now with Helpy." Freddy explained. Gregory yawned again, rubbing his eyes. Vanessa then turned towards the young boy in her chair.
"I'm guessing you're not used to staying up THIS late, huh?" she asked. Gregory stuttered briefly before turning away, crossing his arms while hiding his embarrassed face.
"So what? I've been up longer than THIS. R-Remember…I grew up on the city streets until now." he explained. Foxy was rather surprised, asking Freddy if he somehow knew about this. As they talked, Vanessa rose from her chair and crouched down to Gregory's level.
"It's okay. I know that this situation isn't the ideal reason for you to force yourself awake. But if Foxy's right…maybe you need some time to recover. Getting in a fight can wear you down physically and mentally….which WON'T help when three other animatronics are stalking you." she explained, placing a hand on his head "If you want to get some shut eye, I'm sure Freddy can watch over you." Gregory blushed as Vanessa turned to the large bear.
"Freddy? I want you to keep an eye on Gregory. If you need to, have him stow away in your chest compartment." she asked "This way, if you need to recharge at all, he'll still be safe even if you run into the others." Freddy nodded, placing his hand to his chest.
"I promise…I will keep our "superstar" safe." Freddy said. But Gregory grumbled.
"I said I'm FINE. GEEZ!" he muttered, still in a fit. Vanessa, however, could see through his cranky persona with a mere headshake.
~ 1:01 am | Front Entrance - Main Lobby ~
To ease everyone's worry, Vanessa and Freddy eventually managed to convince Gregory to take time to sleep. After giving him some of the water he packed in his bag, he then ate a little of the candy he had before falling into a somewhat deep sleep. Before leaving, Vanessa left Freddy with the sleeping boy and her office keys. Both were to be kept close on his body until they were reunited. Shortly after, Vanessa returned to the main floor with her flashlight and tazer. She adjusted her "Security" cap as Foxy approached her side.
"You sure you want to come along, Cap'n? I dunno how much help you'll be…given how much time you've been away." Vanessa asked, mockingly teasing Foxy. But the animatronic smirked back.
"You kiddin'? I may have been on leave for quite some time…but this will give me a chance to FAMILIARIZE me-self with what's happened here in me absence! Plus, I gotta make sure to keep me little buccaneer safe too!" Foxy boasted, tweaking his hat. Vanessa and Foxy turned to one another with big grins.
"All right then. Then if we run into Chica, Roxy OR Monty, I'll be counting on YOU to keep them at bay." she said "No way could I fight any of them as a MERE security guard." The two then patrolled off, heading upward towards the elevator that would take them to the atrium, the site of the large stage and all the other shops and attractions found in the Mega Pizzaplex. But as they marched up the shut down escalator, "Willie" could be seen around a nearby corner. His sinister eyes followed Vanessa's movements, watching her entire climb before slinking away.
