Chapter 3: More Than Just Nightmares
Adam groaned as he rolled out of bed, his hair sticking up all over the place and his mouth tasted awful. He looked over at Cherry, she was still fast asleep on his desk, her battery must have been really low. He walked out into the kitchen and made some toast and tea for himself before going back into his bedroom. He booted up his computer and checked his mail, replied to a couple of his friends, and then pulled up the wiki page. He typed Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria into the search bar. He thought it would just show him the history page of the pizzeria but it also showed him links to a computer game series called, 'Five nights at Freddy's,' as well. Deciding it was best to check out the pizzeria first, Adam remembered how Mr Fred McBear had originally had a diner with just two animatronics and his family. He read about the child being found on their door step and how the diner went under quickly. It said years later the first pizzeria opened with more animatronics and more heartache with the murder of the five children plus the guard being found stuffed into a suit. They reopened in another building, only for the bite of '87 to happen. They were on the verge of closing again, when things took a turn for the company. The animatronics got cleaned up and upgraded and the company put on more shows, bringing in more customers that led to the opening of The Cove. For almost a whole year the company did well and was, for the first time since their opening, truly in the black. Then it came out the CEO had been embezzling funds due to being blackmailed and had actually used one of his animatronics to kill the blackmailer. Following this; the revelation of one of the security guards being the serial killer, 'The Biter.' The company was then sold cheaply to, 'Critter Country,' who wanted to make their restaurants run by animatronics as well as in the park. Due to an incident with the animatronics, the restaurant in the park was scrapped, but Nightmare Realm continued to do well. When the owner of, 'Critter Country,' Yen Sid Dahl died at the age of 46 due to lung cancer, Critter Country then closed the remaining pizzerias down, save for the three main pizzerias that were left in Dahl's will, to the creator of the second generation of animatronics who was rumoured to be Dahl's lover. Dahl's brother had tried to take the will to court and get control of the buildings back, but the case was thrown out. Adam frowned as he tried to take it all in as he munched on his toast. From what wiki had and from his conversations with the animatronics…a guard had saved them and the company by helping them out, same said guy was also an amazing inventor but also the lover of one of the most iconic men in the world. Damn this was messed up. He scrolled down the page to the part where it said legends. It went on about how many believed the ghosts of the five children, and the security guard still haunted the animatronics and at night would walk about the pizzeria, to try and extract their revenge on the man that killed them. He snorted. How could people be so gullible? Seriously? Ghosts? Alright, fine, it was a little odd that the animatronics seemed so lifelike and yeah they did move around in the dark when no one was really about but that didn't mean they were haunted. He decided to click on the game link and read up on the games. These were made to follow the legends of the pizzeria and made to jump scare their players. There were four games in total and a few side ones. The games were so popular that the pizzeria, around Halloween time, actually act out the game for the five nights leading up toHalloween. It had become so popular that tickets were sold in advance and often sold out before the event. Now that sounded cool! If he was still working there, he would love to be a part of that; he scrolled down and looked at some of the pictures of the event. There was a picture of a much younger Mark and Jeremy both in uniforms and covered in blood while pulling faces. Still, he didn't know why the animatronics were sojumpy about having humans about, they liked kids...right? Though after reading some of the shitty things they had to put up with from adults,he could understand a little, but for it to actually stop people from working there, was a little unfair. He looked over at his clock and decided he had enough time to look the games up on Mist and download them to try before he had to go to college, and then check out Nightmare Realm too. Wait a sec...had Markiplier, or Mark, played them? He quickly clicked on the U-tube button and did a search, which revealed that Mark had not only played the games, but a couple of the rip off ones too. He quickly ran to the kitchen to pick up snacks and a drink before going back to his room to watch them. He wondered as he watched them, why Mark was still a security guard? After all, his videos were still being watched hundreds of times a day and he was a well known celebrity at the game events. So why? He then saw that the fourth game was based on Nightmare Realm and decided to play that video. He watched as Mark clicked the screen, going back and forth between the two bedroom doors.
"The first night is never usually that bad in any of the games so I will play through an AHHHH FUCK!" Mark screamed and almost fell out of his seat, as did Adam, when the nightmare version of Chica jumped out. She was horrifying, with her three rows of teeth, red eyes and tattered formed. Was she really like this? Nah... the game developer must have overdone it. Overd one it to make her even scarier . That must be it. When he gets there today, he 'd most likely me e t her , and she wouldn't look anything like that. At least he hoped.
A few hours later he locked up his apartment o n his way to go to college, Cher ry was still in sleep mode in his bag, as he placed his keys in with her when a sudden noise from down the hall made him jump. He looked and saw the ma n with the long sil ver hair trying to balance his packages, being on the phone , and open en his door.
"Yes… Yes mom, I'll pop over tomorrow and look at her for you, just tell her not to move about too much today. Yes...ok...love you too. Bye. Damn it . " the man muttered as he dropped his packages as his leg gave out and he fell to the floor. Adam thought about ignoring him and just walking past but knew that would be wrong as he ran down to help him. The man smiled brightly at him as Adam helped picked up his groceries and him.
"Thank you. This leg of mine is getting worse as I get older. Could you just hold on to that while I get the door?" Adam nodded as the man unlocked his door and let him go in first, then followed behind him. "The kitchen is just to the left, if you could just place it on the side, whichwould be lovely . "
Adam placed the bag on the side as he watched the man place his cane against the wall and staggered over to the kettle.
"May I get you a drink?"
"Oh, thanks , but I need to go to college…" said Adam feeling his cheeks heat up as he looked at the man's lean frame and how his trousers were hugging his long legs. "I was just wondering if you got the letter I had to sign for...it was from Critter Count r y , but the landlord saw it and he pitched a fit…"
"Yes I got it...in a couple of pieces but nothing a little tape couldn't fix. Sorry you had to see that by th e way. The Landlord and I have… shall we say I complicated history . "
"An Ex?" Adam asked, silently hoping he was so he would know whether the man preferred males or not. The man blinked and then raised his hand over his mouth as he started to laugh.
"Sorry...I shouldn't laugh , but...ha ha ...No, although I am gay, he's not my type. No, he's actually my ex boss. He got fired and another company took over and I kinda got promoted...you get the picture?"
"I guess...still a bit shitty that he ripped up your mail because of the company that he use d to work for, but um...listen , if you ever need a hand with something, even like shopping, just knock on our door, if I'm in I can give you a hand . "
The man smiled again, his green eyes seemed to go slightly darker making them an ever green colour , his hair draped over his shoulder, making Adam's heart skip a beat.
"Thank you. I might take you up on that. But I better let you go now...otherwise you might miss your bus!"
"Huh? O h shit...Yeah...sorry , gotta go! Bye!" said Adam as he rushed out of the apartment. The man chuckled again and walked slowly into his living room and picked up a picture frame. It was of a young man, holding a small black and purple bunny in his arms while being held by an even large r bunny.
"I think this one is going to work out well this time guys ." H e said as he placed a small kiss on the glass.
-Line Break-
Adam rode the bus, looking down at his phone and trying to memorize the route in his head, as Nightmare Realm wasn't to o far out of town ,but it was on a complicated route.
"Cherry ? Are you any good with maps or mapping?" Adam asked the cupcake.
"Sorry Adam, but I wasn' t given mapping software or maps either, maybe I can ask my creator to install some when I'm due my upgrade and maintenance . "
" Er ...maintenance? Do you really need that?"
"You haven't read my instruction manual have you ," said Cher ry with a frown "You were meant to read that before booting me up . "
"Sorry Cher ry , it's a guy thing, we don't n eed instructions, we just know… " said Adam with a cocky smile as Cher ry grumbled in his bag.
Nightmare Realm was a dark and ominous building, with th e windows blacked out and thick , metal , double doors at the entrance, with painted on times of opening. There didn't seem to be an employee entrance as far as Adam could see and the store wasn't going to be open for another hour.
"Maybe you should knock? " Cher ry said as she looked at the large doors.
"I don't know...maybe I should wait…" said Adam when suddenly the large door opened slightly and something resembling BB but smaller peeked through the gap, its red eye glaring at him.
"Are you making a delivery?" it asked in a high pitched voice that seemed to comical to be coming from him.
"No. I'm Adam Edge, I'm your new security guard for the night shift?"
The small boy animatronic frowned "You're too early! It's only the afternoon, you'll have to come back tonight . "
"But I don't know how to get in or the layout of the place and I would like to introduce myself to you guys first . " said Adam quickly as he used his hand to keep the door from shutting.
"I hav e to ask the manager first and… " suddenly there was voice calling the small animatronics behind the door. "What? Huh? OH! OK! The manager says I need to see some sort of id first. Do you have a driver's licence or an ID card?"
Adam reached for his wallet and pulled out his ID card since he hadn't learnt to drive yet. The small animatronic pushed the door open and stepped out and it took all of Adam's might not to finch away from it. It looked like BB only shorter and younger...and... well ok ugly was a mean term to use but it was certainly the most accurate. It had a slightly larger face with beady red eyes and a large mouth filled with sharp teeth, its limbs were oddly shaped and longer than needed for the short torso, and while it had hand shaped servos, Adam could see that the ends were claw shaped. The small boy animatronic peered at the ID card and then at Adam.
"The picture matches… " it muttered "But how do I know it says that you're who you say you are . "
"Umm… could it be you don't know how to read?" Adam asked, the small animatronic jumping back dramatically and gasping.
"How did you know?"
"JJ?" came a voice and then stepped out a lady, she was wearing tight black trousers and a matching waist coat over her white shirt and had thick black combat boots on. She wore thick make-up, making her look almost gothic with red streaks in her dark hair that was pinned up into a messy bun. "Is everything ok here?"
"He knows I can't read! My secret ' s out!" JJ cried as he hugged her leg.
"It wasn't much of a secret JJ , " the woman smiled , "But you know what an id card looks like and to match the picture right?"
"Yeah…"
"So does he check out?" the woman asked pointing to Adam and giving him a wink.
"Yep . " said JJ smiling, at least Adam hoped it was a smile.
"Good, go back inside now and help Bon Bon at the bar please, Adam would you like to follow me?"
Adam followed her inside and waited a moment while she relocked the doors. It was quite dim inside, but he could make out various tables of different sizes and shapes and at the far back various arcade games.
"Those big tables...those are for tabletop games right?" Adam asked as he looked closer.
The woman smiled "That's right. Despite its look, we're actually more of a game restaurant and bar. Teenagers and young adults can come here to chill, play games, eat pizza and be themselves without the outside world judging them. Believe it or not, tonight we're going to be extra busy with a couple of card game tournaments going on. It's either pokemon or something yo go…well, another Japanese game anyway. We also host parties as well. At the back there we got games like Evil zombies, Dead house, Road rage, you know the kind of games that would never be seen at Freddy's place."
"Yeah , no kidding , " Adam smiled as he wondered if he had any quarters in his wallet so he could have a go before heading home, "This place is awesome , but what do the animatronics do here?"
"Oh much like they do in the other stores. Watch over, join in, make sure there is no bullying going on, and make friends. Then of course we have what we call , 'blackout moments,' where all the lights go out and then the animatronics get to scare who they like. Most customers think tha t's the best part. But other tha n that, Chloe is mainly in the kitchen, JJ and the cubs deliver to the tabl es, Bon Bon or Freddystein mind'sthe bar and Big Daddy and I ta ke turns managing this place. Oh… " she laughs then says, "I haven't introduced myself have I? My name is Connie! Our Security guard during the day hasn't turned up just yet but his name is Jack and he joined the company shortly after I did. Come on, I'll introduce you to the family. Be warned , they're a little...hands on"
Adam followed her over to the bar where a large pastel purple bunny with bows around its ears was humming away as she stocked the bar with her back to them.
"Hey Bon Bon ! We got a new guy!" shouted Connie as she stepped away from Adam as he walked up to the bar. Adam had seen the nightmare Bonnie in the game , but this...she didn't seem too bad.
"Hi I'm AdaMMMMMM . "
The bunny turned ar ound and all Adam saw was a row of sharp , brown , crooked teeth before he was pulled into her fur and hugged tightly.
"Hey sweetie pie! Give Mistress Bon Bon some lovin !" laughed the bunny in a thick southern accent as she leaned down to kiss Adam on the lips.
"No Thanks ! I'm good!" said Adam as he quickly ducked out of her arms and backed off. "Besides a ren't you Blu's girlfriend ?"
The bunny cupped both her cheeks and smiled brightly "Oh you've met my honey bunny! Isn't he the sweetest?"
Connie chuckled , "Yeah , really sweet. He wasn't so sweet after I caught you too playing about last night when you were supposed to be entertaining our customers . "
Bon Bon giggled , "It was only a little spanking. After all , it has been months since me and Blu have gotten together, so you can't really blame us . "
"Well next time it happens I'm reporting it to Big Daddy , " Connie warned as a loud crash came from around the back and the sound of people arguing. "And here come the cubs…"
Suddenly three bears and a bunny appeared. They weren't that much taller than Adam and seemed to be the same age.
"For fuck sake Fe! You should watch where you're going!" snapped one of the bears.
"Like you ' r e one to fucking talk! Leaving your crap everywhere. What , did your last slave die of f ?"
The more female looking bear rolled her optics at them , "You're both fucking useless, so shut up and get on with the unpacking before mom catches you both arguing . "
"SHUT UP FUM!"
The tatty looking bunny just shook his head a s he carried the box to the bar, "Here you go Auntie Bon . "
"Thanks, Plush sweetie! Adam, this is my nephew Plushtrap!" said Bon Bon proudly. The goldish bunny with large eyes looked at him up and down and hummed as he leaned on the bar.
"Hello Handsome… single?" Plush asked with a large smile. The three bears stopped their arguing long enough to wolf whistle and cat call.
Connie shook her head , "None of that Plushtrap . He hasn't even started yet. This is his third night...right?"
"Er r ...yeah...third night . "
"Oh that's nice , " said Plush with a small purr , "We can be a bit more… Active . "
Adam felt his cheek s going red and tried to look at the floor rather than at the heated look Plush was sending him. There was a loud bang and a man in a security uniform came in who brightly smiled at everyone.
"Hey all! Ready for a fun filled evening? Connie, me beauty , " the guard waved and kissed Connie on the cheek, "Ready for a fun filled evening?"
"You're goin g to be busy tonight Jack, you'r e actually going to do some work, for a change . " said Connie with a smile as the animatronics laughed as Jack's horrified face.
"Ah love you know I'm allergic to the stuff . " Jack moaned then he noticed Adam and then smiled. "Oh is this what you meant? Training young Adam here? Ha! Almost had me worried there Connie!"
Jack reached out and shook Adam's hand and used his other to rub Adam's hair "Welcome to the family lad! Have ya met all the family yet?"
"I don't… "
"He's yet to meet Freddystein , Chloe and Big Daddy , Jack, would you mind showing him around? I've got to sort out some paperwork out the back?" Connie asked.
"Sure thing love, you go and get on with the boring stuff and I'll teach the lad the ropes ., " said Jack , al ready pulling Adam out the back, "So Adam , well done on surviving your first two night s . You did a lot better than me, didn't survive the first time, but then again I wasn't really a member of staff back then. So I got a second chance and got to the fourth night here before Big Daddy got me . "
"I never asked , but what happens if you don't survive the five nights?" Adam asked.
"Well , you see , the five nights are mainly about building trust and seeing if you can handle the animatronic s. The animatronics will decide whether or not they trust yo u enough to work with them . You fail the five nights , or more importantly , fail to gain the animatronics trust ,than you ' r e short of put on a temporary contract where you will then be monitored during the day shifts to see whether or not you can work with the animatronics , if you can't , then you're given your slip and a friendly handshake, you do , then you become part of the family . "
"Well , I might be partly screwed then , " said Adam with a sigh , "Foxy from the cove doesn't like me . "
"Oh lad. T hat old fox doesn't like anybody at first, even old Mike , from what I've been told , had trouble with him before . "
"Mike? Who is Mike?" Adam asked in a curious voice , "Wait...is he Shadow 's creator?"
"Aye He's Shadow's daddy alright and he is a good friend of myself , Mark , and Jeremy , and , well...just about everybody who works here, but the animatronics adore him and are very protective of him. I thought you would have seen him by now . "
"Excuse me?"
Adam and Jack were so deep in their conversation that they hadn't paid attention to where they were going and almost walked right into Nightmare Chica. Both of them jumped and screamed before laughing nervously.
"Chloe darling , what have we discussed about sneaking up on people?" said Jack as he patted his chest.
"Sorry Jack, but I just wanted to say h ello to your friend, are you our new guard?" Chloe asked as she held out her servo.
"Yep , that's me , " said Adam shakily as he tried to look away from Chloe's sharp teeth , "Nice cupcake by the way . "
" Vhank you , " said the orange cupcake with a very ove r the top cartoon vampire voice, " Voran ge Bite, at v our service . "
Adam quickly reached into his bag and pulled out Cher ry , "This is Cher ry . "
"Hello!" Cheery said happily as she bounced on Adam's hand.
"Holy Shit! You got a Cupcake ! " said Jack in a slightly concerned tone . "Remind me to have words with Mike about this!"
Adam frowned as he remembered Mark's reaction as well and looked over at Chloe. She seemed happy enough as she petted Cherry softly. Was there something wrong with having a cupcake? After Jack gave him the tour as well as show ed him the secret employees entrance, Adam went home for some food and a shower before his night shift, he wasn't sure about that place. Jack told him that the first two or three hours would be a breeze as the animatronics would need some down time since they closed a lot later than Freddy's or The Cove. He still hadn't met Big Daddy or Freddystein as Plushtrap had met up with them later saying that they were having a cuddle in one of the storage rooms and it was best to leave them alone. Jack muttered something along the lines of dirty old bears and left it at that. Adam rode his bike through the night and barely got to the place before twelve. Adam sat there in the security office board as he switched from one camera to another. Turns out Jack was right, the animatronics weren't moving and it was now three in the morning. He was starting to wish he had b rought Cherry with him, but, a fter reading her manual, he found she could hold music and such so had left her to download a large chunk of his music library. A rustling sound caught his attention and he quickly grabbed his torch and shined it at the doorway. There was nothing there.
"Must have been my imagination ." H e muttered to himself. The rustling noise got louder , b ut no matter how many times Adam flashes his torch, he saw nothing.
"Damn it! Working at these blood y places has made me paranoid . " Adam groaned as he once again turned off his torch. He went to check the cameras again when two arms quickly wrapped themselves around him, one quickly covering his mouth to prevent him from screaming.
"You were very good Adam , " whispered Plush as he licked the shell of Adam's ear. "You almost caught me, which is more than I can say for any of the others that come here, but still , you failed. But you know what...I might be willing to...overlook this...if you let me play with you . "
Adam simply shook, his heart hammering in his chest as he broke out in a cold sweat. Why hadn't he seen Plushtrap moving about on the cameras and why the hell was he undoing his shirt?
"You're wondering why you didn't see me aren't you? I know every inch of this place and all its blind spots. You would only be able to see me if I wanted you too," Plush spoke softly, his nose brushing against Adam's neck as his hands pulled open Adam's shirt, "My, what cute nipples you have. They're all ready all round and hard and begging me to tease them…"
"Please...don't . " Adam hated himself for whimpering , but he was so scared. Everything he had read yesterday morning came back to him about the bite and the animatronic that attacked some blackmailer. These things could snap him like a twinge easily and there was nothing he could do. Plush pulled back and turned the seat around so Adam was facing him. The knowing grin was gone and a serious look that seemed alien to the tatty bunny took it s place as he knelt in front of him.
"Adam...I'm teasing you. If you seriously don't want me to do anything to you then I'll stop ok? Believe me, rape isn't my thing and I would much rather us both enjoy this. I swear I won't hurt you…" said Plush firmly but softly as he kissed Adam's temple.
"I'm not...that is…"
"You're not interested right?"
"Well yeah...sorry but I'm not into cheap flings or one night stands . " said Adam blushing as he quickly tried to do his buttons up.
"You know you really are cute, just like Shadow and Mangy said you were, those big pools of chocolate are especially nice. Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where I am. Though if I were you right now, I'd be closing the doors, Big bad D addy is on the move . " said Plush as his ears twitched. Adam jumped out of his seat and reached for the door button as a very large, very scary black bear with eyes of hell f ire appeared. The bear opened his huge mouth and roared as the door slammed shut in his face and Adam leaned against the wall in fight as the door shook violently as the bear hit it. Plush took a small mobile out from a hiding place in his fur and quickly took a picture of Adam kneeling on the floor looking scared. He added it to a text message and sent it to Mangy and Shadow.
"You're right, he's very cute and sweet. He's a keeper. Start working on the old guys about cutting him some slack . " he messaged with a smile.
-Line Break-
Adam lived th r ough his fourth night which was back at the Cove. Foxy had tried several times to get him but didn't know Mangy was sitting down beside the desk giving Adam tips as to when his father was coming down the hall. Th r ough Mangy he had learnt that the second generation animatronics and the Nightmare ones didn't really like the whole scare the crap out of the guard , but did it as the owner felt it was a tradition and it made the older models happy. Now he was on to his final night at Freddy's and it wasn't even five past midnight when he was quickly shutting the doors when he saw Freddy quickly coming down the hallway. Damn it. The other animatronics were rushing all around the place and it did seem as if they were coming for him , before backing off and allowing Freddy to sneak past them and almost get on top of him.
"Right, Freddy is still in the hallway because he's a jerk , " Adam grumbled as he clicked on the monitors , "Bonnie and Shadow are in the main hall, Sooty is in the party room and Chica is in the kitchen. Now , as long as Goldie stays in his room I should be fine . "
He continued to click on the screen when he got to the camera that showed outside the fire exit and felt his heart stop when he saw a rather large looking man, who was clearly drunk starting to try and get in. Jeremy had told him if anyone turned up and even remotely tries to get in, he was to call the cops, so Adam quickly picked up the phone and dialed as he continued to watch the man stagger about.
"Yes, h ello, I'm the night guard at Freddy's Fazbear pizzeria, I have someone, a large man who's intoxicated trying to get in. Yes. ok . See you soon . "
No sooner had Adam put down the phone, the man pulled out a large hammer and started to hit the lock and it looked as if the door was about to give way. Adam looked at his own locked doors and bit his lip. Jeremy hadn't said what to do in this situation and Adam wondered what he should do. What if that guy got in? What if he found Goldie? Goldie in his mental state might not be able to defend himself . He got to his feet and grabbed his torch and searched the drawers for something to protect himself with. In the bottom drawer he found a small baton, it wouldn't do much good if the guy was armed, but he felt a bit safer with it than without it. He then took a large breath and opened the security door and stepped out. He flashed the torch down the hall and caught Freddy who was glaring up at him.
"You broke the rules . " the bear growled his eyes turning black with white pupils.
"There is some big guy trying to break in ," Adam said quickly, "I was worried about Goldie in case he found him . "
Freddy stalled for a moment as his eyes returned to normal and he nodded , "I will see to Goldie, you go and get the others and take them into the restroom for us, it has its own security door . "
Adam nodded as Freddy rushed past him to get to Goldie and he ran to the main floor to get the others. He ran to the main hall and called out to Bonnie and Shadow and quickly filled them in when the drunken cry of , "CHICA" echoed around the building.
"Papa...that sounds like…" said Shadow in concern.
"Harvey , I agree! Adam! You need to go and get Chica and get her to safety before Harvey finds her , while Shadow and I find Sooty. If you see Harvey though, do not engage him, he is a dangerous man and being drunk has most likely made him worse . "
Adam nodded and quickly rushed across the main hall to where the other hallway was , which led to the kitchen. He burst into the room and looked around for the yellow chicken and saw her putting ic ing on top of her cakes.
"Adam...but you're not allowed… " Chica started when Adam ran up to her and grabbed her servo.
"Chica! You've got to come with me now! Some guy has broken in and Bonnie thinks he's after you!"
"CHICA!" C ame a deep drunken voice as the back kitchen door slammed open and the large man slid to the floor. Chica optics b ecame wide as she let out a shrie k as the man struggled to get to his feet. Adam pulled on her servo again and started to pull her out of the kitchen as the man got to his feet and roared with anger as he pulled out his hammer again and started to wave it about.
"Chica , do you know that guy?" Adam asked as they ran though the main hall to get to the other hallway.
"He was a guard here once. Mi ke fired him when he found out… " Chica went quiet but grabbed Adam's hand tightly. Adam looked at her for a brief moment and saw the pained look on her face and pulled her harder down the hallway as the sound of tables being overturned followed them. They got to the animatronics restroom and Adam pushed Chica in first just as the man came down the hall and swung his fist into Adam's face, knocking him to the ground.
"What are you doing with my Chica brat! She mine" the man slurred as he swayed on his feet.
"Actually, she's mine." Said another voice as something swung in the dark, smacking the drunk in the face, hard. Adam looked up to see hisneighbour standing above him and swinging his cane like a professional weapon, hitting the drunk multiple times before rendering him unconscious. Shadow quickly fell to Adam's side and looked over his face, making sure he was conscious.
"Adam, are you alright, can you see how many digits I'm holding up?" Shadow asked, holding up three fingers.
"Three and I'm fine Shadow." Adam grunted as he tried to get up, but Shadow pulled him back down.
"You stay right here until daddy has a look at you. Sooty, go and get Adam an ice pack please. The sooner we get ice on it, the sooner the bruise will come out." said Shadow to the large purple bear who simply nodded and went to the kitchens.
"Shadow, I'm fine… Is Chica ok?" Adam asked as he peered into the restroom.
"She's fine, if a little shaken. Daddy will most likely tell Uncle Jeremy what's happened and he'll be here soon too."
"Shadow you keep saying Daddy, how is Bonnie going to get in contact with Jeremy? Does he have his number of something?"
Shadow blinked a few times before giggling loudly, and then pointing to the long silver hair man who was placing handcuffs on the drunk, "Bonnie is my papa silly. He is my daddy."
Adam felt his brain screech to a halt as he took in Shadow's words and his next door neighbour came over.
"Well Adam, you've had a rougher fifth night then the others, but I'm sure Freddy will agree that you have passed. You're going to have a bit of a shiner there, but from the looks of you, nothing is broken."
"Err...thanks? Sir I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but how did you get in here? And for that matter, why are you here?"
The sliver haired man laughed again, still using his hand to cover his smile, "My apologies Adam, for not telling you who I was, but I felt it was necessary, at least for your first week. I didn't want to excite or upset you when I told you I was your employer," the man held out his hand to help Adam up. "My name is Mike Bunny Schmidt, I'm the owner, creator of the second generation animatronics, and security guard. I'm guessing you have a few questions for me?"
"A few dozen but I can't seem to think about any of them now," said Adam honestly and then pointed to the unconscious man, "Though I wouldn't mind knowing the story behind that guy!"
"Let's wait until the police get here and then I'll tell you all I can. It won't be all tonight though, so you will just have to bear with me ok?" said Mike as Sooty came back with an icepack and gave it to Shadow, who pressed it gently against Adam's cheek, "Chica…are you alright? You can have the rest of the night off if you need it?"
"No...I'm fine, thank you Mike. The work will keep my processor off of it." said Chica with a small smile.
"Sooty would you mind helping Bonnie take that waste of space back to the main hall for the police? And then go and help Freddy resettle Goldie please? When I came in Freddy was struggling to keep Goldie from escaping. Once the police are gone, Adam, you and I can talk alright?" Sooty nodded and did as Mike asked and started to drag the man, with Bonnie by his feet, to the main hall, followed by Mike, Shadow, Adam, and Chica.
-Line Break-
Adam fidgeted eagerly for the police to leave so he could talk to...well, Him. He had heard so much about this guy and it turns out to be his sexy older neighbor who turns out to be his boss! He didn't know whether he was in heaven or hell. The police left and Adam watched as Mike quickly locked up without batting an eyelid. Chica brought over a couple of drinks and a pizza to the booth where Adam was sitting next to Shadow, waiting for Mike to come over.
"You have to wait a few more moments Mike," said Shadow with a small smile, "Daddy and Papa just need a little alone time."
"Huh?" Adam sat up and peered over the booths to see Mike and Bonnie embracing. He felt his cheeks redden as he watched them, Mike whispering to Bonnie and stroking his ears while Bonnie rubbed Mike's back and patted his rear. Then Mike's name made sense as did the rings on their fingers. "Oh…"
Shadow's ears perked up, "You sound disappointed?"
"What? No! I mean…"
"Don't Worry! My parents have programed me to have very extensive knowledge of sex and love making. Not to mention Uncle Goldie let us have a look at his stash." said Shadow with a smile as he patted Adam's thigh. Adam was about to jump to the other side of the booth when Mike and Bonnie appeared and slid into it.
"Well at least that mess is over with now, hopefully the police will actually do their job for once and keep him locked up," said Mike as he picked up a slice of pizza and hummed deeply as he took a bite, "Nobody makes pizza like you Chica!"
Chica beamed happily, "Glad you like it Mike, it's one of the new ones we've added to the menu."
"So who was that guy?" Adam asked, " and what was his deal?"
"Oh...he was a mistake. Thankfully, not ours, but the previous owner, Dahl, he felt it was necessary to have more guards, and although he was right, he picked a real prat !" said Mike, "It happened after I came back from my three month break. After The Biter incident."
