*Warning, mention of suicide in this chapter near the beginning*

A moment later, before anyone could have reacted, the animatronic collided with Harry. Having hit the ground, Erika scrambled back to her feet. "HARRY!" She then turned toward the animatronics. "DO SOMETHING!"

With a shaken look, Bonnie turned to her as he tried to ignore how Harry's eyes had gone pitch black with a white pupil. "And do what?! With the way they're struggling, if we grab at the wrong time then she could have a chance to hurt Harry!"

To their shock though, the animatronic began to scream and shake as smoke wafted out between her joints as her and Harry grappled. Suddenly, she started to jerk and contort as if she was being electrocuted or maybe having a stroke as her screaming reached a new pitch and was joined by Harry. All there took a step back for a moment as there was flashes of light before Foxy growled and leapt forward. He then grabbed the animatronic. "LET GO OF HIM!" With a heave, he threw it across the room where it laid limp except for the odd shudder now and then as smoke continued to waft. However, Foxy ignored this as he crouched down to look at Harry who seemed uninjured except for some scratches and bruises. "Are yeh alright, Harry matey?"

Shaken, Harry grabbed Vicky's offered hand and hauled himself to his feet. "Ye-yeah..." He then glanced toward Erika who was walking toward him. "Are you alright, Erika?"

With a frown, she looked herself over and nodded. "I'm okay..." But before Harry could say anything, her arm swung and Harry's cheek stung as she slapped him. "You idiot! Why didn't you just pull me out of the way instead of throwing yourself in front of it!" A moment later, she clutched him in a hug as she sniffled. "I would never forgive myself if you got killed trying to save me..."

Confused, Harry looked toward the others only for Bonnie, Vicky, and Rose to shuffle around a bit. 'Okay...' Just the same, Harry decided to copy what he's seen done before so he hugged her back. "Sorry..."

Before Erika could reply, a sound caught all their attention. It took them a moment, but then they turned to where they could see the strange, reddish-gold Foxy-like animatronic curled up into itself as it tried to squeeze into a corner as it whimpered. "I-it was... It's m-me... It w-was me... W-why... Why d-did I-I..."

Harry shared a look with Bonnie and Foxy with the two staying close. Finally, he crouched down just out of lunge distance and frowned as it ignored him in favor of crying. "Hey... what's wrong?"

The head whipped up and stared at Harry with one glowing eye as she spoke with a voice full of horror and anguish. "I... It was m-me, I k-k-killed h-him... I k-k-k-killed my b-b-baby..." If anything, she, and Harry could tell from the voice, curled up even more to the point where he could hear the sounds of things cracking and snapping inside the suit. "I... I d-didn't w-want to! Y-you h-have to b-b-believe me! Bu-but that v-voice... t-the voice from the m-man in the cloak forced me to... I k-knew what I was doing and didn't want to, but... I was just fl-floating as my body k-killed him..."

His breath having caught in his throat, Harry gulped as his stomach twisted into knows already knowing what she was talking about. "Did this man have a silver mask?"

Now he had the animatronic's full and undivided attention though it seemed she was looking through him at something else in the distance. "Yes... h-he had a m-m-mask and t-th-there were others... They forced me to d-d-do... things... then there were th-these flashes of l-light and this woman w-w-was in front of me. Then..." There was a pause before the Foxy look-alike continued, reliving those memories as her whole body shook and shuddered. "I f-forgot... I forgot e-everything that happened, except that I k-k-k-killed m-my b-baby. I-I don-don't know how... Bu-but I sssomehow knew what ha-happened, could feel it even if I-I-I could not remember. Th-then the police a-a-arrested me and the trial and..." Once more, shivers ran through her before Harry scooted closer and laid his hand against her shoulder as she clinched at her head, her claws digging into her costume. "I r-remember now... After they r-r-released me, I got a j-job here be-because E-e-eric loved Freddy's. I w-was an e-entertainer in a s-s-spring suit. I loved to make the c-c-children laugh and smile because... because the p-pain wasn't so b-bad. Though it a-always c-c-came back when I l-left because I was r-reminded that I would never hear Eric laugh and see him smile ever again. And the p-pain would return w-worse then before. n-no matter w-wh-what I d-did... But then I o-o-overheard that they were going to stop and seal the safe rooms. I would never again make c-c-children laugh and s-sm-smile... Just like Er-Eric would never again l-laugh and s-smile be-because of m-m-me... The p-p-pa-pain... the pain was so b-ba-bad at that thought... So I hid in the room when they sealed it and o-once they le-left..."

More then slightly sickened, Harry guessed what had happened next as the pieces fell into place. He focused on what he was doing otherwise he felt he was about to lose what food was in his stomach like he could hear Erika doing. 'Dear sweet Merlin...'

Sobs began to escape her. "E-everythi-everything had go-gone dark and I k-knew that I was going t-to get wh-what I deserved... T-then I woke up and there was blood everywhere... so much bl-blood. And the pain, my body now h-hurt like my heart but it yet it didn't hurt and everything felt so wrong... Then... then I re-remem-remembered everything. The men in the cloaks, w-what they made me do, how it f-f-felt... I... I..." Her whole body shook with her sobs. "I d-don't... I don't k-k-know how long before I clawed my way out. I co-couldn't th-th-think... But then I... I... I escaped to the g-g-graveyard and found Eric's g-g-gra..." Her voice just broke as she struggled to speak before she managed as Harry felt a growing horror in him. "Grave. The stone was j-just there, all alone... so alone. No-no one to c-c-care... I had abandoned him and it sh-showed so I... I... I d-d-dug up his g-g-grave and c-c-carried off his bones! Like some sort of an-animal! I d-desecrated my ba-baby's grave! I'M A MON-MONSTER! NOT-NOTHING MORE TH-THEN A-A BEAST! I DON'T DE-DESERVE TO B-B-BE CALLED HIS M-MO-MOTHER A-AFTER WH-WHA-WHAT I DID! AND WHAT I HA-HA-HAV-HAVE DONE!"

To her surprise, as well as the others, Harry closed the distance and pulled her into an embrace. Trying to distract himself from how his stomach rebelled at what he heard "Shhh... shhh... it's okay... everything will be better now..." But even though there was horror, there was also anger and disgust pointed toward who he knew was to blame. 'Damn you, Voldemort... Damn you, your followers, and the Ministry for what they did to her...'

Once more feeling that strange warmth, no longer so hot as to burn, the soul inside the animatronic was reminded of a similar warmth. The warmth that she had felt inside her whenever her son had laughed, smiled, hugged her, and many other times. Memories drifted through her head of her son and all the times they had shared. Even though she was unable to actually cry, she still sobbed as each memory brought back a pulse of fresh pain, which was soon soothed by the strange warmth. "I-I-I'm so-sor-sorry... so, so sorry... Ple-please..."

As Harry comforted the emotionally devestated animatronic, the animatronics who had dealt with her before just stared in shocked disbelief. Finaly, Theodore found his voice as he turned toward Bonnie. "Is he... how did he... what?"

Bonnie didn't take his eyes off the scene before them as he spoke, his tone filled with sadness and something that could only be identified as understanding. "Harry... is special. He's used to murderous animatronics and helping them free themselves from the darkness that surrounds them. I'm not too surprised that he managed it this time..." That caused more then a few looks directed his way from Theodore and the other London animatronics. Having noticed, Bonnie just shrugged. "Let's just say that she was not the only one who was lost in the darkness that Harry had saved..."

Still confused, Opal nodded until one of the things that Harry had said returned to her "Wait... the both of them, those people they described..." There was stiffening from the other London animatronics outside of SpringFoxy. "Cloaks with a mask? That sounds like..."

It was a shivering Jessy who finished the thought. "Like the people who killed us..."

Having caught that, SpringFoxy stiffened a bit and then whipped around to stare at them. "They... they have harmed you too?" Her head twitched a bit before she turned toward Harry. "And... you know who they are?"

While he shared a look with Rose, Harry nodded. "Yeah... years ago their leader killed my mum and dad when I was just a year old. He tried to kill me, but some magical protection that my mother placed on me when she died prevented it and it left him powerless for years... Though he returned and..." For a moment, he stumbled over his words before a glance into SpringFoxy's eyes gave him the strength to continue. "He... killed a classmate of mine in front of me and tortured me a bit in front of his followers, the Death Eaters."

Several moments passed as SpringFoxy repeated the name over and over as if to memorize it as her eyes glowed. Then her expression softened as much as it could and she pulled Harry into a tighter hug much to his surprise. "I lost my s-son because of them... and you have lost your parents..."

Confused, Harry blinked and missed the facepalm from Rose. They were all distracted though as they heard something and turned to see Erika spitting out water she had drank from a bottle over the small puddle of vomit. "Ugh..."

Shaking it off, Theodore glanced at Opal and the other animatronics before he shrugged. "We... were children in the children's home next door. One night, a bunch of these... Death Eaters appeared in front of the home and... well, they set it afire and we died I think..." He then motioned at himself. "Then we woke up in these animatronics..." Part of him was unnnerved by the intensity that SpringFoxy was giving him and the others before she began to stare off into space. Theodore then turned to the animatronics who had come with Harry and Erika. "So... what about you?"

It was Vicky who answered with a shrug. "Not quite the same, but... we're all kids too who died. There's myself and four others who had our souls sucked out by this monster, and then entered the animatronics somehow. Bonnie, Foxy, and Rose here along with Freddy, Chica, and Olive back at our normal pizzeria were all murdered by a man named Vincent and had their bodies shoved into the costumes by a being known as the Marionette. Laika wasn't a child though, she was a dog, a very smart one."

That caused the London animatronics outside of SpringFoxy who was now watching the other animatronics with an intensity that caused some discomfort to them, to stare. Nonetheless, Jessy ignored it as she looked at Erika. "Um... so... you're going to fix me?"

With a smile, Erika wiped her mouth a bit. "Well, yes, I'll have to see if there's any spares here to give me any clue for your costumes though..." A frown then crossed her face. "The map doesn't say exactly where Parts and Service is though as the one we peeked in was more a closet then anything. And I might need what's in there to fix you all up maybe."

As she blinked, SpringFoxy looked up. "You will need to look in the basement where parts and service was. They should have what you are looking for..." She slowly got up, pulling Harry to his feet before she began to walk with one claw crooked. "Follow me, please. I'll take you there." The others all followed her as there seemed a sense of purpose in her step. Harry raised an eyebrow at her though he didn't say anything. 'They're children... all of them. And they need help...'

Harry stopped in front of a large door a few minutes later and blinked. "What's this?"

Staying close to the strange warmth that came from him, SpringFoxy gestured at door. "Parts and Service was kept in the basement and out of the way as it gave more room and kept it out of the way. There were two ways of rea-reaching it. One is this service elevator, the other is the door next to it."

They tried to open said door only for the knob to break off due to rust. Even Vicky trying to pry it open didn't work as she shook her head. "It's jammed pretty good in there... I don't think that we'll be able to open it."

Having ignored the conversation between Harry and SpringFoxy where he was explaining about how the suits could be possessed, Foxy tilted his head. "Arrr... it be a real hard chest lid to break." It was then that he noticed that the hallway led to it. "But I be having a great idea!"

To Vicky's confusion, she was gently pushed out of the way. "What are you doing?"

If anything, her confusion increased as Foxy ran to the end of the hallway. "Sometimes, yeh need to be hitting a chest lid ter open it! GANGWAY!"

He was a blur as he sped down the hallway to kick the door. But then, just as he raised his foot, Foxy stepped on something slick on the floor. He proceeded to crash into, and through, the door and go flying down the stairway. Everyone cringed and winced at the crashes and bangs. Several seconds passed after the last one when Harry stuck his head into the doorway and looked down. "Foxy?"

From below came a voice. "I... be okay... ow..."

Erika turned on her flashlight and began to walk down the stairway. "I swear to God, Foxy, if I need to give you any big repairs then I am going to freaking make you regret it!"

Shaking his head about a minute later, Harry stood above the laid out Foxy as Erika checked him over. "And what, exactly, have we learned today?"

Foxy slowly blinked as he stared upwards before he raised a single claw. "Be making sure that someone has swabbed the deck clean before running."

Sighing, Harry facepalmed as he ignored the sound of flesh hitting metal as Erika slugged him in the shoulder. He then decided to distract himself and shine his flashlight over the basement and gave a low whistle at what he saw. "Whoa... this place is packed with parts..."

It was then that Erika looked up and shined her light across the crates and felt her eyebrows raise. "You're right..." Then she noticed the tool bench and walked over before she opened a drawer. "Wait... these are top end tools. A little bit corroded and rusted, but still good! Hell, some of these are still sealed like they didn't get the chance to open them!"

With an amused look, Harry chuckled some. "And they're all yours." He chuckled some more as she grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up before she went back to going through the drawers. Harry then noticed that SpringFoxy was quiet and staring off into space with a thoughtful look. "Something the matter?"

Having shaken off her distraction, SpringFoxy turned to him. "Hmm? No, not really. I-I'm just th-thinking over what you sa-said... Th-tha-that's all."

Even though he wanted to know more, Harry was soon distracted as Vicky bounced up. "Harry? Erika wants us to go and look for a undamaged box to see if there's anything really salvagable. Come on."

He gave SpringFoxy one last look before he let himself be pulled along. If he had looked back, Harry would have seen SpringFoxy wander off to another section of the basement with an unsure look. Eventually, they found one crate that was sealed and laid it out. It was only the work of a few minutes to open it which caused Erika to grin widely. "Jackpot!"

That caused Harry to look at her oddly as did the others as Theodore looked in. "What's the big deal? They're a bunch of parts."

For a moment, Erika chuckled before she shook her head. "Theodore... you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" The dinosaur animatronic just shook his head, utterly confused. "These parts are still all wrapped up and sealed. That means that they're probably have very little corrosion if any." She then rubbed her chin as she looked around. "Of course, there's probably just a few like this, but they're still good. Any of the others which might be corroded, I'll have to look into. Even those corroded parts might be of use after I get them fixed up a bit. Then I can use them to fix you guys up!"

However, as he looked around, Harry's face fell a bit. "There's just so much here that we need to handle though... we'll have to make a number of trips back and forth just to make sure that we have it all." He then ran one hand through his hair tiredly. "It's times like this that I wish that I could just say: 'Dobby, could you come here and give us a hand?' Sure, it's lazy and everything, bu-"

There was a pop and everyone leaned back as there was a small creature there. "Mister Harry Potter Sir calls on Dobby?"

Bonnie blinked before he got down to Dobby's level as the small house elf stared back at him. Meanwhile, Harry coughed into his fist. "Ah... Dobby? What are you doing here?"

With a blink of his large eyes, Dobby tilted his head some. "Dobby be hearing the great Mister Harry Potter Sir call on Dobby for help and be needing it. So Dobby says to himself, 'Dobby, the great Mister Harry Potter Sir be needing you so you should go to him.' So Dobby come."

Coughing into his fist to cover his surprise, Harry glanced around. "Um, right... Well, Dobby? These are my friends..." He did a quick introduction of the animatronics there before he got down to Dobby's level and gestured around them. "Do you think that you could somehow get all this into the truck for transport? Or, better yet, transport them to the Freddy Fazbear's Family Pizzeria in Little Whinging so that we don't need to make multiple trips back and forth?"

As he nodded his head so fast it looked like it could fall off, Dobby smiled. "Dobby cans be doing that for you, Mister Harry Potter Sir! Dobby do it all right now!" When Erika asked him if Harry could get in trouble, Dobby shook his head. "Oh, noes. Dobby can make sure that Ministry not be knowing about magic being used so that the great Mister Harry Potter Sir not be getting into trouble!"

Once more, Harry coughed as he looked around. "Um... right then." It was then that he noticed that SpringFoxy was nowhere in sight and frowned. "While you're doing that, I need to check on something. Mind giving me a hand, Aunt Rose?"

The golden animatronic shook off it's surprise and nodded a bit. "Of course, let's go and handle whatever it is that you need..."

With a nod, Harry walked back toward the stairwell and stopped at the bottom where Jessy was propped up against the wall. "Hey, um, Jessy was it?" Blinking, the wolf animatronic nodded a bit. "Have you seen SpringFoxy around here anywhere?"

She blinked for a moment before she gestured up the stairs. "Yeah, saw her come by a few minutes ago lugging a black Foxy costume up the stairs for some odd reason. She was mumbling and everything, why?"

As his eyes widened a bit and things clicked into place, Harry gave her a slightly shaky smile. "Oh, just wondering where she had gone off to is all... Hey, Aunt Rose, we got to go have a talk with her."

Confused, Rose nodded and waited until they were at the top of the stairs before she turned to her nephew. "You know something, spill."

There was a grimace on his face as he started to walk through the pizzeria, glancing at the map in his hands to tell him where the backroom was. "I think that I know what she's about to do. Though I'm not sure if I want to stop her or not." Soon enough, they reached the room in question and found debris scattered in front of it from where they had been thrown before they entered. Harry then saw SpringFoxy sitting in front of a wrapped bundle with a black Foxy suit close by. "Hey..."

However, SpringFoxy barely moved. "I... I thought for a bit there that I could... you know. I really did but... I don't know if I should, even if it worked. I-I've already desecrated his grave you know... W-would this b-be right? To p-pull him fro-from his rest?" Sniffles escaped her as she closed her eyes and shook. "I... After wh-what you t-told me... I just... I just want to hold him i-in m-my arms ag-again... T-to tell hi-him that I-I l-l-love him and h-how s-s-sorry I am... I-is that s-so wrong?"

Taking a shuddering breath, Harry took a few steps forward before he kneeled down and hugged her as she shook and sobbed. "Shhh... shhh..."

A few minutes passed as Harry gently held the sobbing animatronic before they slowly subsided. "I... I'm sorry about this. It's just... I really don't know what to do..."

Not really saying much for a few moments, Harry slowly blinked as he knew that his aunt was within grabbing distance as he looked at the bundle of rags. Through a small gap he could see what looked like bone. "So... that's Eric then..."

Slowly, SpringFoxy nodded as she stared off into space. "Yes... that's my son..." Her eyes blinked as she let out a soft sigh. "He... he was such a beautiful little boy. Eric... my baby had the most wonderful smile and laugh. Always laughing and smiling at every little thing. Enjoying what life gave him..." As SpringFoxy continued, she pulled her knees up against her chest. "We used to go to a park nearby and he would run and play in the grass. Then bring me flowers..."

For a moment, Harry was silent before he nodded. "Sounds like he was a wonderful child..."

With another sob, SpringFoxy shifted a bit. "He was... Eric was a gift to me and I..." Another sob escaped her as she leaned against Harry. "I miss him so much... I know that I am dead and my heart is... you know... but it hurts. It hurts so much... Just... I want him back and in my arms, laughing and smilling again so much that I would do almost anything just to give him a second chance... but... I... Doing this is..."

Harry let out a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. "I won't judge you one way or the other. Merlin only knows..." Part of him considered that his aunt could hear his every word, but there was a bit of him who said it needed to be said. "Merlin only knows that since I've found out the truth that I have wondered if I could do something similar with my parents. If I could just place them inside a suit and try to bring them back even if for only a little time..."

If he had expected SpringFoxy to say anything, it certainly was not what she did. "... They would be proud." At his confused expression, she reached up with her paw and gently stroked his hair. "Your parents... you said that they had died? Speaking as a mother... I can only say that they would probably be proud of their son. Despite me attacking you like some mad beast, you comforted me and still are."

Blinking away some tears, Harry softly smiled. "Maybe..." He then shook his head. "Thanks... um..."

Her head tilting a bit, SpringFoxy sighed. "Veronica... my name is Veronica."

A smile answered her as Harry gave a nod. "Veronica, thank you." When she asked what was to happen, Harry frowned a bit. "Well... once we have all the spare parts and such from here, we'll bring you all back to the pizzeria in Little Whinging. Erika needs to sort through things and get ready, so it will be some time before everything is fixed. Though she'll be fixing Jessy up first as she's the most damaged."

There was silence before Veronica tilted her head back to stare at the ceiling, there being some small snapping and cracking sounds from within the suit. "That's good... they all deserve a second chance."

With his eyebrow raised, Harry turned to her. "What do you mean by, 'They'? You all deserve a second chance." He rolled his eyes as she whipped her head around with a crack as her jaw dropped. Harry did hold back a wince though as he could see her rotting jaw inside the Springsuit's at the back. "What?"

Shaking her head, she stared at him. "You... think that I-I deserve a second chance...?" Looking away, Veronica hung her head. "After all that I have done?"

It wasn't Harry that answered her though, but Rose. "Of course you do! If those of us in the Little Whinging branch are getting a second chance, then so do you." The golden Freddy sat down on her opposite side. "Besides... we could use your help." Knowing that she had her interest, Rose continued. "We... need an adult figure in our lives, one who knows what we've gone through."

Unsure, Veronica looked around the room. "I... I'm not sure that I should. Perhaps it would be best to leave m-me here..."

A moment later, she was stunned as Rose grabbed her and shoved her face into Veronica's. "Don't you dare! You want to redeem yourself?!" Rose waited until she nodded and growled. "Then you're coming with us when we leave this place! If you want to redeem yourself, then you can do so alongside us."

Everything echoed around in Veronica's head as she thought it over. 'They're children... but...' She looked at Rose for a moment and then turned toward Harry. 'But what? I'm an adult and... and a mother... could I just leave children to be alone and...' Her gaze then passed over the bundle that contained her son and she felt something deep inside shift. 'That's right... I'm a mother and... I became an entertainer to make children smile and laugh. How could I turn my back on children when I promised Eric to help others...?'

Not knowing of her decision, Harry reached up and laid a hand on her shoulder. "Hey..."

For a moment Veronica didn't move before she turned her head. "I-if you want me t-to come th-then I guess th-that I can..." The fox animatronic then looked at her son's remains. "I... I'm still not sure. B-but if I d-don't then... could you help me..."

Harry slowly nodded. "Find a spot for him to be buried again?" At her nod, he smiled with watery eyes. "Sure... I don't think that would be much of an issue..."

Slightly smiling, Harry walked around the back of the moving van making sure that the animatronics were all secured as were the boxes. With one last yank on the straps that held Jessy in place, Harry nodded. "Okay, the looks like everything." He then glanced at his watch and felt his eyebrow raise a bit. "And we're ahead of schedule to boot, huh."

From where he was leaning next to Veronica who cradled a bundle to her chest, Foxy grinned. "Well, matey, Tis' has been quite the adventure but I be agreeing that it be time to sail home, are."

Sparing a glance for the Shadow Foxy costume, Bonnie nodded. "It'll be nice to get back to the restaurant and wash off all this gunk... Yuck!"

There were nods and sounds of agreement from the others. In fact, Opal looked herself over with a frown. "I've forgotten what it feels like to be clean it's been so long."

As she stood with her arms crossed just outside, Erika chuckled. "No kidding, first thing that I'm doing after I finish up getting you guys home is going to be taking a nice, long, and hot shower. I'll probably be looking like a lobster by the time I'm done!" She waved to Harry and he walked out before closing the moving van door and securing it. "Well... That's that, I suppose."

With a nod, Harry clapped his hands together. "Tell me about it!" He then yawned a bit and stretched as he looked at the night sky. "You think that there's any coffee shops open still? Because I could go for something."

Suddenly he blinked as he could hear Aya's voice. "Mmm... Coffee... And pastries... Could you get a pastry as well? It's been so long..."

However, that just caused Harry to blink for a moment before he raised his eyebrow and spoke up just before Erika could say something. "Wait... How would you even eat anything, Aya?" Having noticed Erika's confused expression, he shrugged. "She wants me to get a pastry as well."

Erika only stared at that. "How... She's a ghost, right?"

It was then that Aya grinned as Harry could feel her arms encircle him. "I can eat through you, Harry and taste what you taste."

After he passed on what she had said, Erika grimaced a bit. "Well, that's certainly not the least bit creepy. Nope, not at all." She shook it off though as both her and Harry began to walk toward the cab of the moving van after closing and securing the trailer door. "Anyways, we'll be able to find a place this time of night. Maybe some place where truckers visit."

Before Harry could comment, both of them were blinded by a car's headlights. Just as he realized what was in front of him, the car's doors opened and out stepped two police officers. After they walked up, he gave them a nod. "Good morning, officers. How can we help you?"

One of them shined a flashlight onto the moving van with a frown while the younger one stopped in front of Harry. "Would you mind telling us what two teens are doing in front of an abandoned building this early with a moving van? Also, could you identify yourselves?"

The two shared a look before they did so, Harry not noticing his the younger officer's eyes narrowed at his name. "... As to what we're doing, we were retrieving some animatronics that had been left behind along with some parts when the pizzeria closed. We're doing it at night as we don't want to attract media attention with what has happened recently."

Just as the elder police officer was about to nod, the younger one grunted. "Likely story. Now open up the back."

Even his partner was taken a bit aback. "John..."

However, he was shot a look. "I know all about this kid, Walter. My sister lives on the same street as his aunt and uncle and apparently he's a trouble maker. Heard it myself directly from his relatives." John ignored his partner speaking on the radio as gestured with his head at the moving van. "So then, mind opening her up so that we can see?"

Harry had an annoyed expression on his face as he internally swore about his relatives managing to cause him grief even when they weren't there. With a sigh, he ran his hand through his hair. "Mind if I show you our paperwork as well?" After the elder officer nodded, he opened the cab door and slowly reached for a folder which he brought out and handed to them. "It's all there and cleared up."

Scowling, John looked through it before he closed it and passed it to his partner who also looked through it. However he nodded. "Seems all in order."

John wasn't satisfied though and tapped the side of the moving van. "Now, open up."

Now worried and annoyed, Harry walked to the back and opened up to reveal the animatronics who stood where they were still as statues. Both Rose and Veronica had their eyes closed and jaws firmly shut. "See, nothing to worry about." Internally, he was relieved. 'Wonder where they put Eric though...'

Suspicious, John clambered up now to the annoyance and exasperation of Walter. "John, there's nothing there. Let's let them go on their way and continue our patrol."

Walking around, the officer shined his lights at the animatronics and shuddered. Then he grimaced at a smell. "Ugh... Smells like something died in here."

Erika gestured at Theodore and the others. "Well, they have been sitting abandoned for twenty years back there. Their costumes are rotting and it would not surprise me if there were some dead rats in there."

Finally, John had enough and left the back of the moving van before he scowled. "Seems that this time you're above the line. Just don't go causing trouble around here."

And with that, he stalked off not having noticed Walter scowl at him before the apologetic officer turned to Harry and Erika as they once more closed the back of the moving van. "I'm sorry about this, John is usually more even tempered."

However, Harry just shrugged. "I'm used to it thanks to my uncle."

Slowly shaking his head, Walter walked back to the police car and got in. After a moment, he turned to John and glared. "Mind telling me what that was all about, John?! There was no need of that and you should not have been pushing so much. I even had to call in for a check and you know what? Kid has no criminal record! You better hope that nothing comes from this."

Surprised, John turned to him. "No criminal record? But he goes to St. Brutus' Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys according to his relatives."

There was silence before Walter reached up and pinched his nose. "St. Brutus... I know about that place and I can say that you have been hoodwinked. Want to know why?" Getting a nod as they pulled out, Walter sighed. "Because it closed down about a decade ago. There's no way that kid goes there at all."

All John could do was grit his teeth as he realized he got lied to before he realized something else. "Anything in his record about his parents?"

Walter just shrugged as he looked in the rear view mirror to see the moving van pull out of the parking lot and head in the opposite direction. "Just that they were found dead, murdered, their cottage. One of those unsolved cases really that happened back then."

However, he missed the silent snarl on John's face as the police officer's face turned red from anger and embarrassment. 'Not a car accident then... no one makes a fool out of me...'

Finally, the moving van came to a stop in front of Freddy's and Harry got out. With an exhausted sigh he walked over to the door and knocked. About a minute later, Michelle opened the door and blinked at him before her face lit up in a smile. "Harry!"

Despite the tiredness he felt down to his bones, Harry's lips turned upwards into a smile. "Hey, Michelle... how were they?"

With a chuckle, she shrugged. "They were good." It was then that she took in his tired expression and dirty clothing. "... What the hell happened to you!?" She then looked at Erika and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. "What the hell happened to both of you!?"

The two shared a similar look and then sighed as they answered at the same time. "It's a long story..."

Erika then walked over to the moving van door and opened it to reveal not just Foxy, Bonnie, Rose, Laika, and Vicky, but the others as well. For a few moments, Michelle stared as she was joined by the animatronics that had stayed behind. Then she raised a finger and pointed at them. "You... found more!? The fff-" With a blink, Michelle took in the glare from Erika as said young woman gestured with her head at Olive. "Fffffreaking heck?!"

As she rubbed one, thankfully cleaned and scrubbed hand thanks to a gas station they stopped at, Erika shook her head. "The place had them in it and it seems that they had been there for more then a decade without maintenance."

However, Chica only clapped her hands and smiled. "Oh good! That means that Chelsie and me should go and bake some more pizzas."

While the others slowly stepped off the moving van, Harry shook his head a bit. "Actually, I got a surprise for you all on the way back... Freddy, mind giving me a hand?"

Confused, the bear walked up next to him and waited as he opened the driver's door before his eyes widened. Harry then placed several trays of cups in his hands as he grabbed some boxes and closed the door with his shoulder. After he looked it over, Freddy raised a eyebrow. "What are these now?"

All Harry did was smile and chuckle. "Well... the cups are hot chocolate and these are some bakery treats that we got on the way back."

Her eyes wide, Chica stepped forward excitedly. "Ooo! Yummy, what did you get?"

Setting the box of bakery treats down on the hood of Michelle's car, he took the top most tray alongside Erika and began to pass out the cups. "A nice little selection, they're in the topmost box because... well..."

He glanced over at the animatronics at the London location who seemed confused. Chica looked herself and then nodded. "I suppose that makes sense..." She then held out the open box to them with a smile. "Well? Go on and choose something."

Theodore looked into the box and then back at the smiling Chica before he blinked. "Um... we're animatronics... we don't eat..."

Slowly, Chica raised an eyebrow and pointed behind them and they turned to see Erika give an excited Olive a cup of hot chocolate which the little animatronic drank from. She also hopped from one paw to another as her tail swished back and forth before she took a bite from the eclair her mother gave her. "YUMMY!"

For a few moments the animatronics from the London location stared in shock before they turned back to the amused Chica. Then, as if he was not sure, Jessy reached over from where she hung on her brother's shoulders and took a donut which she bit into. Silence descended for a moment as she chewed before she closed her eyes and had a little bit of cleaning fluid drip from behind her eyelids. "It's... so good..."

Not even a moment later, the others grabbed some items themselves as they tasted food for the first time in almost fifteen years. They also grabbed the hot chocolates they were given and began gratefully take sips as they enjoyed themselves. Meanwhile, someone else was also enjoying eating. 'Oh yessss! Like that, Harry! Like that! RIGHT THERE! DON'T STOP! DON'T STOP! OH GOD THAT'S SO-SO-UHHHHHH..."

With a blink, Michelle noticed that Harry had stopped eating and was utterly red with a horrified expression on his face. "Er... something the matter, Harry?"

Harry turned to her and she had to blink at how one eye was black with a white pupil. "It's... Aya..." At Michelle's raised eyebrow to continue, he did so. "She... um... can taste food if she's partially possessing me if I'm eating it and... she really likes the pastries..."

Utterly confused, Michelle shrugged. "Okay? That may be a bit creepy and all, but whatever. Doesn't explain your expression." However, Harry just gave her a look which after a moment Michelle deciphered. "Oh..." Her face then reddened. "OH!"

The young wizard just nodded while he could hear Aya shout at him in his head. 'Yes, yes, that's lovely and all, but please! I want mo-OH YES! YES!'

Needless to say, it was so hard for Harry not to choke as he continued to eat, though his face felt like it was on fire as for the first time in years, Aya actually tasted pastries like she loved in life...
