Chapter Two
Tour
The two animatronics, Byrd and Aera, told me some more information about the place and I still remembered nothing about my past. They gave me a tour of the building on Sunday, which was when the diner was closed. We started at the front door. To the left, was a staircase which went up part of the way, turned right, and then went the rest of the way up. Apparently the upstairs area was where Mr. Byrd and his family lived. Just past the staircase was the parts and service room. (Byrd and Aera hated that room and said they never enter it, but they didn't tell me why.)
Down the hallway a little, to the right, was an open doorway with a reinforced door that came down when a button on the inside of the room was pressed. The room was an office. If you were sitting down in the chair, the door would be to your left, a vent to your right, and a desk with a phone, a desk fan, and a tablet laying on it. They said that it was the Nightguard's office.
We moved on down the hallway and into the dining area. As soon as you came in, there was a wall to your right with lots of windows, and it was open to your left. Out at the wall in front of you was the stage. There were a bunch of tables that with chairs which looked like they were made for kids. The bases of the walls were red brick and above that was white drywall.
"It would be impossible to kill someone without leaving a trace," I said in my head," Where'd that thought come from?"
There were a couple of entrances which led to the dining area which was beyond the wall that was to the right. In that area, there were some nicer tables and again, the windows which I expected were there so parents could keep an eye on their kids.
And, of course, the last place to go was the backstage area. There were the chairs, the bookshelf, the tables, and the lamp. And there was that acoustic guitar which I had seen when I had first woken up.
"That's yours," Said Byrd.
"Huh?"
"That guitar is yours. You'll be playing it on stage," He explained.
"I-I have no idea how to play it," I answered.
"You do, but you don't know it yet. It's in your programming," Aera answered.
I picked it up. The wood it was made of was dark and looked like it was expensive.
"Hey, make sure you be careful with that, it's made of Mahogany which is obviously expensive," Said Byrd.
"Why'd the owner buy a really expensive guitar?" I asked.
"Well, Mr. Byrd got a little rich off of the stock market and he likes buying expensive stuff," Byrd explained.
"If he's rich, than why's he running this place?"
"I don't know."
"Um, yeah, do be careful with that guitar, because I don't like buying expensive things twice," A voice interrupted.
I turned around to see a man wearing golf clothing. He had blond hair and green eyes.
"Oh God, not a blonde," I thought. (No offense to anyone who's blonde, it was just a joke!)
"Hi, I'm Mr. Byrd, and you're the new animatronic."
As I got a better look at him and heard his voice, he seemed familiar.
"Um…hi," I responded.
"Okay, you're gonna have to be a lot friendlier when you're around the kids. Anyway, we'll try and find a name for you. Don't worry, if they start calling you Wolfie than we probably won't use that…probably," He said with a smirk as he walked off.
"And that, of course, was Mr. Byrd," said Aera with a tone that wasn't very enthusiastic.
"Oh, one thing that you should know," Said Byrd," is that we've got some things in case of emergency."
He went over to the bookshelf and pulled a few books off, revealing a hidden Smith & Wesson 44 Revolver. How I knew that, I didn't know, but the gun looked very familiar.
"Um, where'd you get that gun?"
"I feel like I know…but I don't," He answered.
I left that thought and remembered the parts and service room.
"So, why is it that you hate that parts and service room so much?" I asked.
"It…just don't ask, okay?"
"Okay," I agreed, but still wondered why.
I looked at the clock on the table. It was already eleven o'clock at night. Time had gone by fast.
"Oh, it's about time…" Byrd said.
"For what?" I asked.
"Nightguard hunting."
