You Can't Fix What Is Not Broken
By
End Of Grace
A/N : Wow, thanks for all the support. I'm going to need it, got more hospital appointments than I can shake a stick at. Also I'm going to make this the last Chapter of the year, one too give us all a little time for the holidays, two because the next chapter is going to take a lot of work. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
Chapter 12: Time to Go
"Come on guys! This is serious!" snapped Mike as the animatronics mucked about. It was the night before the large event so they were having a last rehearsal... only the animatronics weren't really behaving. Foxy was sitting on one of the tables and flirting and groping Mangle. Sooty, Shadow, and the twins were running around and Net, Blu, and Fred were playing cards while Chi and Chica were in the kitchen.
"Mike there is no point in rehearsing as we have memorized our lines to our long term memories." said Freddy as he patted Mike on the shoulder.
"You guys have, but me and the guys don't, we need to practice… MARK GET OFF THE PINBALL MACHINE!"
"HEY! I'm not the only one slacking off!" Mark moaned as he gave his turn over to Springtrap.
"Mike's right though Freddy, it would be really bad if one of the effects went off at the wrong time, or the music didn't start on cue and such." said Jeremy looking over his highlighted cues on his script.
"Then you guys practice while me and Honeybear play." Goldie smirked as he smacked Freddy on his rear, making the usually calm bear to growl at him, as he giggled with excitement.
"Looks like they really don't want to do it Mike." Matt muttered as the four guards gathered together to look over the animatronics.
"You would think with this being such a big deal, they would at least take it seriously, rather than goofing off." said Matt in slight disappointment.
"It's like Freddy's said, they know their lines and their cues by heart already, and since their so use to doing stage shows for kids here, their thinking it's simply going to be another show."
"I'd laugh my arse off if when they get there and see the crowd, they get stage fright and freeze on stage." Mark laughed making even Matt chuckle.
"Looks like you're going to have to pull out the big guns, Mike." smirked Jeremy as he, Mark and Matt laughed as Mike groaned as he slapped her hand over his face. Over the last couple of weeks he had learned to use this tactic on the animatronics, but it didn't mean he liked it, yet it was the only thing that seemed to give him an edge. Sighing loudly Mike turned from his fellow guards and looked around the room for his target. He slowly walked over to Bonnie, who was chatting to Springtrap, Freddy, and Balloon boy. He gently tugged on Bonnie's arm, keeping his head low and his eyes on the floor.
"Bonnie... Please... I need you guys to help me practice… my parents are coming... and all those kids… and you guys will be depending on me to put on a good show… I need you guys to help me…"
The other animatronics stopped what they were doing, leaping from their seats and quickly gathered around Mike to reassure him.
"Mike everything will be fine." Bonnie said in a reassuring tone.
"You'll be great, Mister Mike." added Balloon Boy.
"You're the best daddy." said Shadow hugging Mike's leg.
"You'll be the best one out there, lad. You'll make your parents proud." said Foxy
"Even if you muck up a little we'll still love you." added Blu only to get smacked over the head by Net.
Mike sighed again and lifted his head slowly, his lips sticking out in a slight pout with his eyes almost watery. "Don't you guys care about me anymore?" he said in a heartbreaking tone.
This sent the group into an all out panic, each shouting out their devotion before tripping up over themselves to get ready to practice the show for Mike's sake, while the three guards at the back were covering their mouths with their hands and leaning against one another as they almost pissed themselves with laughter. Everyone went though their part, while the four guards went over what they needed to do with lights, music and props, with Goldie, Sooty, Shadow, and Springtrap acting like the audience. When finished, the animatronics made sure Mike was happy with everything, asking him if he wanted to go through it again or if there was anything he needed. Net wrapped his tentacles around Mike's body and hugged him from behind.
"You really do worry too much." he spoke softly "You will be wonderful."
"Thanks Net... it's just with my parents there... you know."
"I understand… this will be good for them to see you in your element. They should be proud of you, as much, or even more then we are." Net smiled as he lowered his head to Mike's ear and whispered "Mike… is there any chance... of having Maintenance tonight? My tentacles have greatly missed your warmth."
Mike froze slightly as his face went red "Don't you think you need to rest for tomorrow? Besides…"
Net frowned and followed Mike's line of sight and saw that he was looking at Bonnie as his pump slowly sunk to his stomach as he slid his tentacles off of Mike. "I see…"
"I'm… Net... I…"
"I understand... though Mike... I think it would be best for all of us if you make it official soon. Some of the others won't be as understanding as I."
"Yeah… thanks Net." said Mike as he looked down at his paperwork. "Looks like I better get another copy of the script, this one about had it, if anyone wants me can you tell them I'm in the office."
Net nodded, but quickly turned around, as Mike walked away, not wanting anyone to see his tears. Though had he been paying attention he would have warned Mike about going to the office after seeing Fred and Blu sneaking off in that direction.
Mike felt his heart give a small squeeze, he was sure he had really had hurt Net, but what he could he do? He was at least 95% sure he wanted to be with Bonnie, but that meant excluding the others, because he refused to sleep around after he made a commitment. He knew Freddy and Foxy wouldn't be too bothered since they had their own mates, but the others… he knew the worst would most likely be Blu and even Fred. Well he couldn't think about that just now, he had too much to do before tomorrow and would have to think about the temper tantrums of the animatronics later, he had lines to go over. He opened his office door and shut it behind him, turning on the small lamps on his workbenches as not to waste too much electricity, as he walked over to his desk. It was nice and silent in his office and he was grateful for the soundproof door, at least this way no one can hear him acting like an idiot or when the animatronics wanted very deep and loud maintenance. He dumped the script on the desk and rubbed his face as he sighed.
"Ok... let's do this. HEY EVERYONE! I'm Doctor Mike and welcome to the Freddy Frazbear event for sick children. So Hello Boys and Girls. Ok lets try that again, HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS! That's wonderful. Ok Freddy and the gang are really excited to meet you all, but first I'm going to just introduce myself and tell you a little bit about today's event. First I said my name is Doctor Mike, but I'm not like the wonderful doctors here at the hospital, no, I'm the animatronics doctor basically if they get sick or need help they come to me, I also can do small patch up jobs on children as well, trust me when I tell you, you guys are a lot easier to deal with…"
"Awwww, now that's not very nice, Doctor Mike." Blu purred as he wrapped his arms around Mike, pinning his arms to his sides as he tried to jump and turn around. "I assure you we play a lot nicer then the children, and we'll make it worth the trouble."
"BLU! What the hell?" Mike snapped as he tried to struggle out of Blu's tight grip as the blue rabbit yanked him back and turned him slightly so he could see Fred, who was removing his top hat and bow tie, his shaft all ready out of its hiding place and was hard and erect.
"Calm down Mike, we haven't had any alone time with you in ages and as you can see we're very VERY excited."
"Blu." Mike shook his voice angry and firm "If you don't let me go right now, so help me I'll rewire you to think your a girl, who in love with Goldie."
Both toys looked at each other for a moment not sure whether to believe Mike or not before Blu shrugged and rubbed himself against Mike's back, still purring.
"You make such silly threats Mike, but we both know you want this."
"Well you couldn't be more wrong!" Mike snapped as he struggled violently as Blu's hold got tighter.
"Blu, maybe you should do what he says. He looks serious." said Fred looking worried.
"Don't tell me you're backing out now?" Blu hissed as Mike broke free from his grip. Mike glared down at the blue rabbit, who glaring at Fred, his fists clenched. "We've been planning this for ages!"
"Yes, but in the plan Mike was willing… but he's not…"
"Phht! He wasn't willing the first couple of times either, but he quickly came around." said Blu waving his paw as if Mike's protests were of little consequence.
"Blu, what the fuck? At first I was in a moral dilemma about having sex with animatronics as well as having it off with so many of you as well. But things have changed… I want to be with someone…"
Blu's eyes went dark as his fur stood on end, his voice box cracking with rage, his body rattling loudly as he shook. "It's her isn't! That human slut!"
Mike slapped Blu hard over the head "It's NOT Emily for crying out loud, she's been avoiding me since I got back and Chica won't tell me why…"
"Then who? Who could possibly be more important than me… I mean us?" growled Blu, his black eyes slowly changing back to green.
Mike sighed and spoke softly "It's Bonnie…"
The room became so silent it was almost suffocating as Blu straightened and looked up at Mike with oily tears filling his green optics, he looked devastated, his servos shaking as he reached for Mike's shirt and gripped it tightly.
"Bonnie… you want Bonnie… more…?"
Mike rubbed the back of his neck and bit his lip "I... really care for Bonnie, Blu… he's has always been my favorite... plus... we have Shadow."
"But that doesn't mean you have to stop being with us? Even Freddy and Goldie let you join in, didn't they, Fred?" said Blu almost desperately at Fred to help him back his case, but Fred shook his head.
"They did, but they asked him first… sort of... plus it really was only once and they never really allowed others to join them before." said Fred in a understanding voice.
"And that's what I want with Bonnie... I mean... I want to be solely Bonnie's because that's what it means to be partners…" Mike tried to explain, but Blu shook his head.
"But... BUT what if Bonnie said it was ok? That he didn't mind sharing you…"
"But I mind Blu. To me when you're with someone, you don't sleep around, like my Ex did to me. It's a really shitty thing to do."
"What if Bonnie wanted to do what Goldie and Freddy did with you… a threesome...would you be up to that?" Blu was grasping at straws he knew ,but it was the only thing he could think of that would allow him to still be with Mike.
Mike's nose wrinkled as he placed his hands gently on Blu's and pulled him off of his shirt.
"If Bonnie wants to try it and discuss it with me then… maybe…"
"But Mike…" said Fred as he tilted his head "Are you with Bonnie now… because he hasn't said otherwise…"
Mike flushed brightly as he turned slightly away "Well... um… we're... that is... not official... yet."
Blu's shocked faced slowly turned into a smirk, his light green eyes going a shade darker as he looked at Fred and tilted his head towards Mike, the other bear animatronic also smirking as he approached him.
"Well... since it's not official and all… would it really be hurting anyone if we had a little fun?"
Blu asked, his servo sneaking under Mike's shirt as Fred undid his belt.
"Guys... please." said Mike half heartedly as Blu lifted the shirt and licked and stroked his torso.
"This will be the last time we get together Mike… unless you and Bonnie say otherwise." said Fred, rubbing Mike's cock through his pants.
Mike tried to push aside the fact that he felt like a dick for giving in to them and saying no to Net as he started to unbutton his shirt. The two toys quickly aided him in their removal, enjoying the feeling of his soft skin beneath their furry servos as they prepared him. Blu coated Mike's twitching cock with lube while Fred poured the lube on to his fingers and pressed them into Mike's rear. Blu laid on his back on top of Mike's work top wrapping his legs around Mike's waist pulling him towards his entrance. As Mike pushed himself in to Blu's rear, Fred kissed Mike's back and shoulders as he used his servos to push Mike's cheeks apart to press his own large appendage in to him. Mike flinched as Fred pushed his way in, clenching his fist tightly, as the toys lovingly kissed his skin to try and distract him from the pain. Their warning lights were soon flashing brightly and their oils started to boil as they sandwiched Mike between them taking and giving all they got… if only Mike was doing the same. It was quite clear... at least to Bonnie Blu that Mike was simply going through the motions, his heart simply wasn't in it… and that just made it hurt all the more for it. Blu tried...tried really hard to keep himself from cumming but his systems couldn't take it and soon he released, moaning deeply when he felt the rush of Mike's warm seed filling his rear. Fred didn't like this, he had wanted it to be passionate and fulfilling as it had the previous times but it was clear Mike no longer wanted this and he was having trouble swallowing that. Mike had saved him and treated him like an adult, helped him get back on stage and even had popped his cherry; it was impossible not to full in love with Mike. Part of him the jealous part wanted to hate and hurt Bonnie for hogging Mike all to himself, but the more rational part of him argued that if Mike wanted that kind of relationship and had wanted it with him, he would have gladly accepted it despite the fact that it would have upset everyone else. Also Bonnie was one of Freddy's closest friends and doing anything to hurt him meant according the wrath of Freddy and no doubt Goldie as well. That alone gave him pause to try anything against the large purple bunny. Still at least he could have now, he doubted Mike would give the others a chance, since he was sure that once the show was over, Mike would ask Bonnie out. So he leaned down and wrapped his arms around Mike, pressing his full body against him as he shifted his hips, sliding his cock in and out of Mike's rear. His memory working overtime, listing the various smells that were on Mike, counting and listing each little scar and blemish, memorizing the soft or even roughness of his skin and counting the moles too. He would commit it all to memory, even if it took up most of the space there, he didn't want to forget this moment ever as he released his liquids into Mike's butt. The two toys cleaned themselves up and also helped Mike with his clothes and excused themselves to let Mike get back to practicing. As Blu was about to leave he turned and faced Mike again, his head low so Mike couldn't see his face.
"Mike… if I had been built first... could you have fallen in love with me instead?" Mike looked blank, his jaw dropping slightly and Blu was sure that the human was actually horrified at the thought. "Nevermind…. see you in the morning Mike."
Blu slammed the door behind him and was almost at a run when he skid to a halt when he saw Springtrap standing there, looking concerned. He really didn't want to see Springtrap right now, not with oil leaking down his optics and making him look more stupid than he already was, not when he pump was falling apart. Springtrap gave an awkward smile and raised his arms up for a hug saying nothing. Blu tried to bite back a sob but a broken sound escaped his voice box as he fell into his older brother's arms and started to weep quietly into the gold shoulder joint. Springtrap said nothing but hummed a little tune against Blu's ears and rubbed his back softly trying to comfort his pump broken sibling. He had seen it in recent days that Mike was getting closer to Bonnie and knew it was only a matter of time before Blu was either told or would figure it out on his own and then he would see the fur fly. Part of him wanted to hurt Mike for hurting his youngest sibling, but another said it was for a good reason because he was making his other brother happy. He simply didn't know what to do in this situation, but right now his young brother needed him for comfort and that was just what he was going to do.

Big Daddy was worn out and was grateful when the park closed so that he and his family could get some well earned sleep. They were working hard scaring children and then pulling funny faces making them laugh as well. The photo shoots were actually harder as kids and adults alike would want to hug them and pose in silly ways for the cameras. Plus he swore if he saw another plush of him in a kid's hands he was going to go mad. How dare they give him such a huge round belly! HE WAS NOT FAT! Well... not that fat. Other than that, things had been going well for the group, they had heard they were the last Halloween attraction still out and rumors were going strong about them becoming a permanent attraction, mostly since they had the longest cue times and their merchandise was really had to come by and when it did come in, it went for top dollar, whatever that meant. He was simply resting in his easy chair when suddenly the main lights went on causing himself and the others to freeze into place. He strained his hearing, making out the sound of several heavy men coming into the building and carrying tools with them. He wasn't aware there was to be maintenance on the building, or them for that matter; maybe it was part of the whole becoming permanent members of the park or something, they needed to look more of the part. His pump shank when he saw the large men carrying in even larger empty boxes, big enough to carry him in, as he watched the men pack away the props into smaller boxes. His pump partially seized when he saw the men lift each of the cubs and Plush and placed them into a crate and nailing it shut. He looked over at Freddy-stein and could see his poor mate was trying to break free from his programming to rescue his poor cubs, but without any luck. They could only watch as their home was tore apart and their family was boxed up one after the other until it was only them.
"Hurry up you bums." shouted the largest and ugliest of the men "The boss wants these guys locked up in the warehouse and this place an empty spot by morning."
Big Daddy didn't think his pump could sink much lower as he watched as his mate was sealed away also as the walls of his home came crashing down around him. So this was it, he and his family wouldn't see each other until the following year, locked away in some warehouse until the boss was ready for them and they were expected to go along with it.
Wait... a memory clip had just flashed in front of his optics as he quickly played it and resisted the urge to smile. Yes, now he remembered, Mike had given him a way of by-passing his freeze mode incase this happened, so he could get out of his crate and get his family back online. All he had to do was wait for the right moment.
"Geez, what's the deal with this one? It's got such a creepy looking smile." said one of the men as he and his partner lifted Big Daddy into his crate.
"Don't know, besides if he knew where he was going, it would certainly wipe the smile off of his ugly fat face." said the partner as he started to nail the lid down.

Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt felt out of place and stood out almost like sore thumbs as they walked through the large gathering of adults and their children. Balloons and the smell of pizza was everywhere as people gathered around the large stage that was facing the hospital. At the very front were the sick children, mostly in wheelchairs and some even had nurses with them for just in case, after them was the general public and just off to the side in a stand where of course the sponsors and family members.
"SCHMIDT'S!" Yelled Geoffrey Jobs as he waved at them, as they came nearer to the stands. "So wonderful to see you, weren't sure you were coming with the big case so close, but I guess I should have known better. You wouldn't want to miss out of your boy's big moment."
Daniel Schmidt kept his poker face up as he shook Geoffrey's hand. "Of course. Also I have a check for you for the charity, do I give it to you?"
"Yes, but later old chap, I have someone you must meet, he's a wonder with tech." said Geoffrey as he led Mike's parents over to an old wrinkled man sitting in a wheelchair with two large plush looking toys on his lap.
"Mr. McBear, this is Daniel and Jane Schmidt, Mike's parents. Daniel, Jane, this is the Mr. McBear the owner of the animatronics and your son's boss, teacher, and landlord. The old man turned his wheelchair around and smiled brightly up at the pair.
"So you are Mike's parents, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for raising such a wonderful and kind hearted boy. He has saved my children from the scrap heap and has made a whole new generation of children happy. You must be very proud."
"...Yes. Thank you." said Mr. Schmidt bitterly as he wanted to do nothing more than to have a go at the old man for filling his son's head with such nonsense.
"Mr. McBear was just telling me about the animatronics designs and how your son has improved on them. Then to top that, he made these two amazing cuties! Man I would've loved just to get a hold of their schematics."
"You not looking at my matics! That's private!" said the small black bunny on the old man's lap, making both Daniel and Jane jump.
"Shadow that is very rude." said Mr. McBear. "Mr. Jobs just wants to see how you work is all."
"But it is private grandpa, it's in my private settings that only Daddy can look at." said Shadow as the small purple bear nodded.
"Daddy? You mean the large purple bunny right?" said Jane remembering how she upset Bonnie on her last visit to the pizzeria.
"That is papa! Papa is grampa's creation and My Daddy made me and is called Dr. Mike." said Shadow proudly.
"Michael is your... daddy?" said Jane her brain hurting with the thought and Daniel looked pale.
"So that makes you…" Shadow twitched his ear against his head as he thought. Then he beamed her a smile and lifted his arms up to have her hug him. "YOU'RE MY NANNY!"
There was the loud screeching of tires somewhere as Jane's brain crashed and broke. "I think I need to get us some refreshments. Daniel, would you mind walking with me to the table?"
The pair quickly walked over to the back of the stands leaving the small bunny to go limp in his grandpa's lap. "She doesn't like me."
Mr. McBear stroked his fur softly "There, there, my boy. I think it was simply a shock to be called nanny is all. Once she is over the shock and see how cute you are, she will love you to pieces like the rest of us."
"Yes, Jane is a little less stick in the mud then Daniel, though I think it might be best to drop the nanny bit Shadow until she says you can call her that. Call her Mrs. Jane would be best." said Geoffrey with a small smile. "But still, I never expected them to come here, they must be really out of their comfort zone, but I guess that's what it means to be a parent right? So is everything ready after that little upset earlier?"
The two small animatronics giggled as Mr. McBear groaned. "Honestly, I swear I don't know what that boy was thinking, dying his hair bright pink before the event, true it does suit him, but it doesn't suit the image of the store."
"I don't know, the kids that have seen him think it's cool and he is really good with them, let's just be grateful he didn't dye it blue or something. So all the animatronics besides these two…"
"Actually, Goldie and Springtrap are also sitting out, said something about their old age and their ball joints not working… like they have any room to complain about old age." Mr. McBear muttered.
"Right, so the animatronics will put on a show and then do photos for the kids then walk about with buckets to collect and donations right?"
"That's the plan… though with my creations... it never quite goes that way."
Mike was in his element and was having a blast. Other than Mark's little stunt with his hair things were going great, the kids were eating up the fake fight between Freddy's group against the Foxy pirates and the animatronics were soaking up the cheers. The introductions had gone well, if a bit longer than planned, both Foxy and Freddy taking way too many bows each. Now things were back on track, the pirates were losing and now it was just between Foxy and Freddy... only Foxy wasn't going down as easy as he was meant too.
"I will not be stopped by a bear and his band!" snapped Foxy as he swung his sword hard trying to knock Freddy's out of his paw.
"Stand down Captain, you won't win against me, I have far more experience." said Freddy.
"Aye, that just make you an old has been then and one that needs to be put out of order." snarled Foxy.
"The only one of us that is "out of order" is and was you." snapped Freddy back as he swung his fist barely missing Foxy's muzzle.
Mike knew he was going to have to stand in soon as the insults got more and more personal; still the kids were loving it and hadn't caught on that this fight had become a little bit too real for comfort. Suddenly there were four different explosions that came up from the stage filling it with smoke. Freddy and Foxy jumped out of the way and looked over at Mike for answers.
"Mark! Mark can you hear me? What the heck happened?" he hissed into his microphone.
"Don't ask me! I had nothing to do with it!" Mark snapped back "I think the controls have been hacked."
Then across the stage a deep evil chuckle made everyone in the audience shiver at the sound, it was quickly followed by a high pitched laughter that made many children jump.
"How foolish can a Bear and a Fox be? To hold such an event and not invite the two most important members of the group?"
"And to think we taught them everything we know, just how ungrateful are they?" said the higher voice. The stream cleared and on a high podium stood Goldie and Springtrap in large lavish pirate clothes and weapons that looked brand new, while the others had gotten their gear from local charity shops which seemed to rub their insult even rather into the gang's faces.
"Look at these poorly dressed land swabs, do you not know you have to bow to your betters, namely me Baron Goldie."
"And Me, Lord high Springtrap. Clearly you need a reminder of how to respect your betters." smiled Springtrap and he pulled out his sword. The crowed cheered loudly, clapping hard and whistling, while the four guards and Mr. McBear all groaned.
"Goldie! I thought you weren't coming, something about you being too old?" Mike spoke into his microphone though his teeth.
"Hold your tongue boy! You're only as old as you feel and besides I'm here to reclaim what is rightfully mine, and rule over Fazbear pizza. HA HA!"
Mike flinched as he saw the murderous aura around Freddy, who looked ready to rip Goldie to bits.
"Looks like we be in some trouble Freddy. What you say to us joining forces and beating these foul beasts?" said Foxy grinning widely as he pointed his sword at Springtrap who had leapt down to the stage.
"Agreed! Just leave Baron pompous to me!" smirked Freddy evilly as he stooped over to Goldie who looked a little worried.
"Honeybear... haha… you know I was just acting right?" Goldie whispered as he quickly defended himself from Freddy's sword.
"Oh yes… of course acting... very convincing... like how I will convincingly kick you butt!" smirked Freddy as he continued to push Goldie back.
Foxy and Springtrap were dancing and doing acrobatics as well making all the children gasp and coo. "You be spry for a rabbit of your years, but I am the Captain of the high sea and I will be winning this battle." Foxy gloated as he swung his hook, hitting Springtrap in the jaw.
"YOU HIT ME!" cried Springtrap as he walked over to the edge of the stage to talk to the children. "Did you see that? He hit me!"
Most of the children went "awww" though some called out that he deserved it while Foxy growled and his fur flared up.
"No fair trying to get the children to back you up Spring-butt!"
"Spring butt? Take that back meanie!" said Spring as he went on to fight Foxy. Mike shook his head as he noticed that the rest of the animatronics were simply watching from the sidelines and went over to them.
"Guys aren't you going to help?" he asked holding his microphone out to Bonnie.
The large bunny shook his head "This is a fight of honor, they won't want us to get involved, besides Freddy is having too much fun!"
At that moment Goldie had lost his footing and bent over to regain it, giving Freddy enough time to poke his sword right into his butt cheek, making the older bear cry out in pain, much to the children's delight. Mike rolled his eyes and covered up the microphone and hissed at the group.
"This a taking too long! We need to wrap this up now, otherwise we're going to have to cut the end song or your one or one time with the kids. Now do something!" Net, Fred, and Mangle went over to Springtrap while Bonnie, Blu, and Chica run over to Goldie, both groups holding onto ropes that were quickly wrapped around the two golden animatronics.
"Well there you have it boys and girls! Captain Foxy and his Pirates and Freddy and his band have won the day." smiled Mike to the cheering of the children.
"YEAH DADDY!" cheered Shadow from Mr. McBear's lap as the old man and Sooty clapped.
"Wow that was some show, I thought you said that Goldie wasn't going to join in?" said Geoffrey.
"Clearly Mike didn't tell me the truth and wanted it to be a surprise." laughed Mr. McBear, knowing full well it was most likely all Goldie's doing. He was softly tapped on the shoulder to see Mr. Schmidt standing over him. "Yes? Can I help you?"
"I'm sorry to cut this short, but I do have some important work to do, so I will leave my check with you and take our leave" said Mr. Schmidt coldy.
"But what about Mike? He would want too see you."
"Sorry, but I have seen all that I can stomach of my son acting like a clown, excuse me."
The Schmidts quickly left, trying not to make eye contact with anyone, as they felt embarrassed to be there. Matt who had been stationed by the stand to guard and keep an eye on Shadow and Sooty, stood very still as he grinded his teeth.
-Line Break-
He had better things to do really. There were files of murders, embezzlement, assaults littering his desk right now, but instead of doing one of those his chief had insisted he go and have a look at this simple break in and robbery. Something any old cop or rookie could do, but no, he had to have his sorry ass dragged out of bed out into the early morning, to go and look into a warehouse robbery. He tuned in to the radio to pick up any tunes or even news.
"The Chief assures the public that they are doing everything they can to find "The Biter", but at the moment there were no new leads…"
He laughed at that, no new leads his ass, even he knew of the major backlog in the DNA department due to government cuts. It could be anything up to a couple of months before they got any of that evidence back. Besides the word on the beat was that the cops weren't really making a huge deal of finding the guy because the so-called victims weren't exactly the most upstanding of citizens. Drug users, known thieves, alcoholics, the only thing connecting them all were the fact that they were also child abusers. Hey, if some crazy went around killing this kind of scum, he wouldn't exactly put a rush on the paperwork either, in truth those assholes got what they deserved and more. Had the police got them, all they would have gotten was a slap on the wrist, a fine, or small jail sentence, at least with the Biter they got justice. Besides everyone on the force knew that the cops in that city were just as corrupt and incompetent as they were dumb looking.
He pulled down a small narrow road for another hour before he reached the warehouses, the area lined off with yellow tape, and rookies everywhere trying to take prints. One such cop came running up to him as he got out the car, holding a hot cup of coffee, as he smiled and nodded.
"Top of the morning sir. This is a bit of a dozy we got here."
"Really? Well it had better be for waking me up so goddamn early! So what we got here?"
"There was a delivery secluded for here late last night, the driver got out of his cab to open the large doors, only to already find it open. He took a look inside and found several large crates had been smashed to pieces and whatever was in them was gone. That's when he rang us."
"So why the hell has our boss got his pants in a knot over this?"
"Well the warehouse belongs to "Critter Country" sir and…"
"You mean that huge annoying amusement park? The place where the staff are on more money than us?"
"Yep that's the one, Mr. Dahl, the owner, is pissed, because according to his records, the items that have been stolen, were some pretty expensive animatronics that have only just been put into storage."
"So we're most likely looking at some crazy collector or something… anything else to report?"
"Well sir… we've been dusting and taking prints and well…"
"Spit it out kid I haven't got all night."
"There aren't any prints sir… only something that looks like a paw prints."
"Paw prints? Anything else?"
The cop nodded and started to walk towards the warehouse, he quickly followed, his gut already telling him he wasn't going to like what he was going to see. The large metal doors were dented so badly it looked as if they had gone a round or two with a bulldozer and lost. Yet it wasn't really the state of the doors that bothered him more like the angles or which the dents were pointing. Outwards and from the look of the hinge, it has been yanked off of the wall. What the hell was strong enough to rip a metal door off its hinges from the inside of the warehouse?
-Line Break-
Springtrap sat in a small corner at the back of the pizzeria, his pump aching, as small oily tears fall down his face. Everyone else was partying and celebrating their success at the hospital. Mike had been quite cross about his and Goldie's little surprise, but father soon calmed him down and they all had a good laugh about it. It was then he realized that Thomas hadn't come to the event. He felt his pump almost stall in his chest as father told him that Thomas had rang him to apologize about not being able to come at the last minute due to work. What was going on? Thomas was avoiding him for some reason. He use to be able to come over at the drop of a hat, he would spend the night or have him come over to his house. Then there was those weird bite marks and Thomas not sleeping, he knew because of the bags under his eyes; his Thomas was worried too much and it was affecting his health. Was... was Thomas having... what was that word… an affair? Was that it? Was he seeing someone else on the side? He felt his hard drive spark and the cogs in his head spin with the thought as a strong rush of jealousy gripped him. Thomas! was! HIS! He clenched his paws tightly as he stood up and walked down the dark hallways, his mind buzzing and spinning with anger. Then he saw the back door with the brightly lit exit sign. Mike had given him the ability to leave the store hadn't he? If he had a good enough reason for it… protecting Thomas was a good enough reason wasn't it? He looked around, making sure no one saw him as he pressed down on the door handle and stepped out into the night.
-Line Break-
Why him? Seriously? He didn't go to the police academy for five years just to be the bloody errand boy for the evidence room. He hated it down there. The lights were always flickering and there was an awful smell, like something was rotting. Then there were the narrow spaces between the stands, you could barely walk though them right, most of the time you're shuffling along sideways. Still he had to go and get this scumbag's belongings and of course they were right at the back because of how long the a-hole had spent in prison. He could most likely sell his stuff to a museum it was so old. He flicked on the light switch and noticed that two of the bulbs had gone again, just great, he'd need his torch that was low on battery. He tried to take shallow breaths so as not to smell the rot and damp. Another light goes out leaving him mostly in the dark now. He picked up his pace; it was never good to stay down here too long, your mind would start to play tricks on you. He got to the back hall and found the box that held the man's things and quickly picked it up only to pause as he flicked his light upwards. There on the wall was a message… it wasn't there the other day... it wasn't... he would have seen it.
"LET US OUT!"
Let what out? He was the only one down here. He quickly picked up the box and started to quickly walk back the way he came when there was a smash and the sound of broken glass. One of the bulbs had exploded… but that was impossible… right? Then the sound of crying reached his ears. It sounded like one of his kids after they had fallen and hurt themselves. He leaned towards the sound, straining to hear, but he was sure it was more than one kid he was hearing. He placed the box down and used his torch to look down the narrow pathway, gulping for air as he looked around. Then something lunged at him, something with glowing eyes and razor teeth, right out of a horror movie. He screamed and kept screaming as he ran out of the room slamming the heavy metal door behind him. The something was a bunny… a large purple bunny that had tears streaming down its withered face.
"Please… let me out… I want to go home… please…"
