Vincent woke up earlier than usual. He slowly got off the bed. Once he stretched a bit, he went to shower and get dressed for the day.
"Morning dad."
"Morning Jack."
"What?"
"Just surprised to see you up early."
Jack shook his head and chuckled. The father and son walked to the kitchen. "What are you gonna make for breakfast?"
"I was thinking pancakes."
Jack grinned widely. He proceeded to clean up the dining table and counters while his father mixed the batter together.
"Morning papa. Morning brother."
"Good morning Julie. How was your sleep?"
"Great! I'm making pancakes. Why don't you go wake up Frankie."
Vincent smiled as he watched his daughter run off to wake her finished making breakfast by the time his two youngest came back.
"Thanks daddy/papa!"
Everyone sat down to eat. The phone rang but this time Vincent chose to ignore it. Family time is more important. The kids helped their father clean up and ran to their own rooms to change.
"Jack can you watch Julie today? Rebecca can't make it."
"Only if I can hang out on the weekend." Jack shouted back at his father.
"Deal."
Frankie and his siblings waited for their dad at the door. Vincent grabbed the documents he needed for work and stuffed them in his bag.
"Let's go."
The family left the house and went their separate ways. Julie with Jack and Frankie with his father. The young boy hugged his golden Freddy plush tightly as they neared the restaurant. Vincent's business partner waited by the entrance.
"Morning Tim."
Tim looked like he didn't get asleep last night. "Hey Vin."
They entered the restaurant. Inside the employees were cleaning up. Those who had shifts during the time of the incident were asked to come on as well.
"Good morning everyone." Tim started. Everyone could see he wasn't taking the lose very well. "As some of you may know, there was an unfortunate accident yesterday that resulted in a missing child. My son. Now the police told me not to open today but we will be open again by the end of the week. As far as what we are doing today, everyone who was on shift yesterday when my son went missing will be questioned by the police. Everyone else will be allowed to go home. Don't worry I will pay you for today."
Most of the employees gathered their things and went home. Everyone else sat down at a party table. After a few minutes, two officers came into the restaurant. One female and the other male. Tim turned and got up.
"You must be here for questions. I'm Tim. Co-owner of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and this is my partner Vincent."
"Hello."
"Do you have room we can use?"
"Uh yes. The private party room is avaliable. Follow me." Vincent led the two officers to the room. "Here we are."
"Don got get the one who was helping the frantic mother."
The male officer walked out the room and headed to the main area.
"Mr. Vincent if it's alright with you, we would like to question you and Mr. Tim as well."
"No problem. Whatever it takes to find Tim's boy." Vincent left the room.
Frankie sat one table away from the employees. He played with his golden bear. He saw a worker get up and go to back. This happened repeatedly for about thirty minutes.
"Francklyn."
He looked up at saw his father. "Yes daddy?"
"We will be here for a little while longer ok. Here."
He handed Frankie a small figurine. It was his favorite superhero. "Thanks daddy!" He smiled widely.
Vincent chuckled and ruffled his son's hair. He then went to the back where all the other employees went. Don, the male police officer, made his way over to Frankie.
"Hello there."
Frankie hugged his plush tightly and gave a shy hello.
"Cool action figure. I had one when I was younger too."
"Really!"
Don chuckled. "Yeah. I got the whole collection. I always carry one around for my nephew." He pulled out an action figure. They played together for a while until Frankie heard his father calling him.
"Frankie. Time to go."
"Aw." Frankie replied with a pout.
"Here." The officer gave him the figurine. "Keep it."
"Really. Thank you so much mister." He grabbed the toy and gave the cop a hug. He then ran to his father. "Look at what the nice officer gave me!"
Chuckling at his son, Vincent grabbed his son's hand. "Did you say thank you?"
"Yes I did." Frankie replied with a smile.
"Let's go then. Say goodbye."
Francklyn waved goodbye to the officer who kindly returned the gesture. He began to ramble to his father about toys. His father listened to every word as they walked to the park.
"Daddy can we go out for dinner today? Please?"
"Hm. Why don't we first meet up with your siblings and then we decide together. How does that sound?"
"What are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Frankie ran home dragging his father behind him who smiled at his youngest son's behavior.
Jack and Julie got home about ten minutes after Vincent did. They all sat in the living room trying to figure out where to go eat dinner.
"I say we go to Johnny's." Jack said.
"No way. We always go there. Let's have something different from burgers. What about the one with the tacos." (Julie)
"Ugh no Mexican food. My stomach can't handle it." (Jack)
"Why don't we let Francklyn pick. You two always pick. Now give him a turn."
Frankie squeak in surprise when everyone turned to him. "Um why don't we go to Benny's. Jack can get burgers there and Julie can get tacos. Win-win."
Jack ruffled his brother's hair. "Good thinking bro."
"Jack!" Francklyn whined. "Stop messing with my hair. I'm not a little kid."
Everyone laughed as they got what they needed to leave. The walk to Benny's wasn't long and it was filled with laughter and small talks.
