Ch7

I smiled at the fact that I had a team ready to stand behind one another in the time of danger. "Good everyone meet at my house tonight at 11:30. Jacob bring your setup, banks spare circuits and parts, Anthony bring an assortment of tools and hydraulic fluid," I ordered. "What will you be bringing?"; "ya what are you bringing?" Anthony and Banks both asked.

I smiled, "I'm glad you asked. I'm going to ask my dad if you can use one of these" I said giving my flashlight a flip. "Wait, you have more?" Jacob asked with an amazed yet confused face. "Sweet we get Lightsabers!" Anthony exclaimed. "Not lightsabers, Flashlights. PLC-306's to be correct. Lightsabers are a weapon so we call them flashlights to sound non-threatening"

"Buzzzz"

"First bell see you guys later"

Time skip to nick's house 11:30

I was getting dressed into my work uniform, combed my hair and went downstairs. I sat down in the living room and patiently waited for my friends to arrive. My phone buzzed [Hey we're here open the door] I stood up and answered the door, Anthony was wearing his normal blue jeans and his black class of 2020 hoody, while Jacob was in his ROTC polo "come in, come in… where's Banks? And why are you wearing that?"

"What, it's comfortable"

"I'm here!" Banks said as he got off his bike in a hurry and ran inside.

"Ok gather round," I said laying down the old bonnie schematics. "This is my grandfather's design of a caretaker animatronic, she took care of my dad after his mom died up until college. After my dad was out of the house she was sold to the pizzeria and as you know killed him soon later. So because we know she's dangerous I smuggled these out of my dad's study." I smiled as I laid 3 other flashlights on the table.

"But won't he notice they're gone in the morning," Banks asked raising an eyebrow. Anthony went to pick one up "ah ah" I slapped his hand away "My dad's gone until Saturday morning on business. But whatever you do, do not lose, break or damage them!" I stressed looking at Anthony.

"So who's is who's?" Jacob asked circling the 3 flashlights on the table with his hand. "Well they'll all do the same job the only difference is color of the blade and the hilt"

"May I?" Jacob jokingly asked. "You may" I replied. 3 seconds in and I realized my mistake they were going to argue and fight over them.

Time skip to the pizzeria

I unlocked the front door and walked in while the guy's unloaded the car. "Girls we're back!" I announced flicking on the lights. "Hey, nick how was your day?" Bonnie smiled entering the room with Freddy behind her. "Oh it was good," I said dipping her down as the night before. "And you brought more friends" Freddy commented. "Oh yes, this is banks my rocketry deputy and electronics whizz, Anthony mechanical specialist and you know Jacob from last night." Anthony and Banks started at Freddy and Bonnie as if they were entranced.

"You still haven't given up hope on that old decomposing bucket, have you? I know how you will defend yourself, but what of them?" Freddy asked.

"That's a good question that deserves a demonstration. Ready guy's?" I flicked off the lights and we all drew are blade's

Toy Bonnies P.O.V.

The where Nick, Jacob, Banks, and Anthony stood now a green, blue, green and red blade in their places. Nick turned the lights on again and they all retracted their blades. "I thought those were prototypes and hard to get?" I asked nick. "Oh believe me they are, the only way I got those is because my dad's gone"

"Alright the office is down at the end of the hall let's move the stuff there" Nick ordered as he picked up a red tool box and led them down the hall. "Great now we got 4-night guards with laser swords" Freddy scuffed. "I thought you wanted Jacob to come back?"

"I did, but I want him to talk to me like nick talks to you. Nick treats you like his girlfriend, he asks you advice and listens to you. He didn't even say hi to me today," she explained. "So go to him, spend time with him, take an interest in what he does. I do that with nick."

"Wait you understand him when he talks nerd?" she joked. "Well some stuff I understand but most of it just goes over my head" I smiled. "How should I start the conversation?" she questioned. "Well it's late, do you think they ate yet?"

"Probably not or it's been a few hours if they did" she answered "so go ask if they want pizza"

Nick's P.O.V.

We entered the office and set our stuff down "ok let's make her as new as possible. First of all take off her skin and try to clean it. Once everything is exposed Replace all the wiring in between the endoskeleton, and-ah replace all the hydraulic fluid. Any other comments or questions?"

"Ya-uhh, I know this may sound weird but, was anyone else turned on by those two?" Banks asked. "Ya son. She made me wanna nut" Anthony smiled. Jacob covered his smile with his hand and sat down in the second chair "if you could choose one who would you do?" banks joked.

"Would I do? Or the one I did" Jacob raised an eyebrow. Anthony and banks fell silent

"you didn't" Bank's challenged. "I did," Jacob said

"Which one?" Anthony asked. "I did Freddy in the bathroom, at first she tried to smother me but in the end, I gave her 'special' functions a test" he grinned deviously.

I tuned them out and sat down in the office chair and noticed the red blinking light on the answering machine, I pushed it and the message played

"H-hey Nick! I just wanted to let you know, I won't be in town for a few days, not to worry I already sent you your weeks pay in the mail.(everyone got quiet and listened) And-ah, oh one of the old security guard's will be running the place in the meantime during the day… h-hel probably give you a call sometime tonight to check up on you. Great guy, he worked your job about 20 years ago, he reminds me of you in fact. He always was doing maintenance and repairs on the old animatronics. He may be able to help with the old bonnie you're working on. After all he's done it before. Well, anyway be careful and talk to you in a few days. Bye."

I sat there staring blankly in deep thought. "Something wrong man?" Banks asked.

"Not wrong, just strange" I continued staring. "What's strange about it? He's going out of town and hired a temporary replacement so he can stay open"

"No, it's what he said about him that raises a flag. Especially when he said, 'He always was doing maintenance and repairs on the old animatronics" and specifically notes the broken Bonnie animatronic" I said as I spun my chair toward the guys

"Yeah that part is a little weird but-" Anthony stopped short when Freddy entered the office. "hey you guy's hungry?" she asked. "Yep", "yeah", "sure", "heck yes!" we all unanimously answered.

"I'll tell chica to make a variety, I'll call you when it's ready," she said walking back down the hall. I watched the guys stare as she walked away, Anthony looked ready to drool.

"Dude, dem hips are…" he put his hand to his mouth acting as if to inhale from a blunt.

Banks and Jacob cracked at the gesture. There was a pause of awkward silence as everyone had their own fancies.

"So ahh could we start after we eat?" Banks asked. Anthony and Jacob looked at banks than to me, I could see the gears turning in their heads.

"Yah can we?" Jacob asked for the 3. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine but after we eat we need to get to work. I didn't bring you guy's for entertainment… I got plenty of that" I grinned.

Banks Jacob and Anthony took off down the hall nearly running, I stayed in the office sitting in my chair typing on my computer looking up the restaurant's history… Then it hit me! I energetically leaned forward for the intercom button.

Jacob's P.O.V.

We walked into the dining area, Freddy, Bonnie, and Foxy sat at one of the tables. "Over here guy's" Freddy waved.

I stepped over the bench and I had not even sat down when "Jacob, Get over here. I need you" Nick said over the loudspeaker. Freddy looked at the speaker on the ceiling and scoffed rolling her eyes. "Hey I'll be back in a minute," I said patting her on the back.

I walked back to the office. When I walked in Nick had that "Ah-Ha" look on his face. "Oh boy, what is it?" I Nervously asked.

He motioned for me to come around the desk "Well I found this" he said as I walked around behind him. Nick had a photograph up on his screen of a younger looking Mairusu, an older looking man, and man in a tall purple suit.

"Isn't that?…". Nick interrupted me "the guy who stormed out of my grandfather's house? Yes."

I gazed in astonishment at the discovery Nick had found.

Nick got up from his chair "welp I'm going to go eat, you coming?" he asked. "Ya ya, just give me a sec," I said sitting down in the chair.

Nick left down the hall and disappeared behind the corner.

15 minutes had passed since Nick had left the office. I was spending time cross referencing the picture and the old Bonnies memory feed. It looked to be a match.

There was a thump in the vents to my left. I slowly stood up and quietly walked over and knelt down. "Hello?" my voice echoed in the stillness.

It felt as if someone or thing was calling me. I unhooked my borrowed "flashlight" and pushed the activator and crawled into the vents. A quarter of the way, I stopped when my blue blade touched the right side of the vent cutting thru like nothing leaving the freshly cut edges a dimly glowing orange. "I don't care what Nick says about this thing. It's a fucking lightsaber" I muttered to myself.

I followed the calls and they went silent when I entered a small room a small room. There was an old animatronic slumped over in the corner. I knelt down to further inspect it. She was an old version of Freddy her once golden skin was torn exposing wires and filthy from the years of neglect. I lifted her hand, it was limp yet it felt alive. I laid her hand down to its original position.

I stood up and gave the room a second look around. The walls were littered with child drawings and newspaper clippings.I skimmed over them.

One of the news clippings stood out, most of the left side was being overlapped by other miscellaneous papers. "-ren Missing". I curiously cleared the overlapping clutter. It was the front page of the local newspaper "5 Children Missing" I continued to read the article "5 children have gone missing from Freddy's pizza Thursday, June 4th. Police are yet to find any leads…"

I began to look up and own to find another newspaper. The next date I found was September 15th, 1999 this time in the New York Times

"Killer At Large. 3 more children go missing at Freddy's Pizza... like the 5 before no bodies are found" and right next to it "New Leads! An unnamed suspect was taken into custody December 6th but later released due to a lack of evidence. Police also have a high suspicion of the day shift security guard…" and not far to the right of that one

"Killer caught! Today the families of the missing children finally have closure. Police authorized a sting operation in where they watched a man dressed in the mascot costume approach the acting child and offered to take her back to see Freddy. Police moved in, with a bit of a skirmish the killer attempted to escape, he led a High-speed chase until he drove off the Oakland Bay bridge to avoid capture. The man is presumed dead but no body was found."

I wonder there's no date on this one…

Golden Freddy's P.O.V.

I lay there unable to greet my guest, I wanted to stand! I wanted to move!... But I can't. I got devious Idea, a horrible Idea, But it is my only chance. I must!

"I'm truly sorry" I whispered. He turned around and screamed to see my ghostly spirit lunge and Possess him.
