The Security Office signage posted on the side of the door brought Gregory instant relief. He was going to get some answers – a more detailed instruction on where to proceed next. The fact that Freddy and the gang were standing there raises his anticipation. What were they waiting for?

Then Freddy's hatch opens, and Gregory is pulled out by Monty. "Hey, what gives?"

"You'll have to continue on without us." Freddy answers. "The office is through this door and up a flight of stairs. We'll stay outside to keep watch and guide you on the Faz-Watch."

"I don't want to be in there by myself. What if I run into trouble? I'll need you guys."

"We can't go in there with you. We can easily tip off the motion sensors because of our weight. The place will be crawling with bots in seconds." Roxy added. "Besides, we could show you all the footage in our memory, but it may be better to watch them from different angles."

"But…I…"

"You can do it Gregory," Chica encourages. "You're one step closer to finding your dad."

"Yeah and find out the troublemaker behind this," Monty cracks a few knuckles. "I got a word or two for 'em."

"Go on superstar," Freddy urges. "We'll be right here waiting for you."

"Okay," Gregory slowly approaches the door and opens it, anticipating an alarm. He looked back nervously and all four gave a smile or a gesture of encouragement. Then he steps in, closing the door behind him.

The antibody liquid had worked fast enough to minimize the searing pain from before. But he still limped up the stairs, one step at a time, until he opens another door. A U-shaped room covered with monitors, keyboards, wires, and whatnot.

"According to the blueprints, there's an outline to store the mainframe. Should be in the midst of the room. Once you find it, connect its wire to your Faz-Watch. Roxy will help override the security to grant you access." Freddy instructs.

"Keytars and keyboards are my jam!" Roxy sings out.

The main monitor was three times the size from the others. The easy part was finding the cord to connect his Faz-Watch. Now he had to stay patient while Roxy instructs which button to press. Every moment had to be precise and with due diligence. After some time, the monitor blinks, he was in the system.

Files upon files shatter across the desktop. He didn't know where to look. After a minute or two, he accesses the cameras from last night. In the Atrium, in the midst of hundreds of teenagers, Gregory sees his father in uniform, standing in line with a couple of guards. Dad…

He skims through the playthroughs, keeping an eye on his dad and any suspicious with help from the animatronics offering info from their end. At 11:30 PM, the cameras going static, reminding Gregory of an all too familiar feeling. And to his guess, the rabbit skips across the room. As the screen glitches, the rabbit turns and waves at the camera, sending chills down his spine. "What is that thing?"

"That's a dance booth, kid. You ain't heard of a dance booth?" Monty asks snarky.

"Not the dance booth! You guys don't see that bunny in the upper right corner?"

"Can't see anything with the screens dimming in and out." Roxy grunts.

Are they serious? "It's right in-freaking-front-of you, why can't you see it?"

"We see no bunny Gregory. There hasn't been a bunny in the PizzaPlex for a long time. But that is a story for another time." Freddy answers, adding to Gregory's bafflement. Why could he only see the murderous bunny? Was he really going crazy? And the way the rabbit waves at him, like it knew he would be watching it in real time. He skims the next few seconds to after midnight – His father walking to the employee's room. If memory served him correctly, there an exit accessed by employees to exit the pizzaplex, even in the midst of the midnight lockdown. But even after scanning the outside cameras, there hadn't been any sight of his father.

Which draws the boy to conclusion that his dad still had to be in the building. And he's willing to bet that bunny had something to do with it.

"Gregory? Gregory?" Freddy's voice starts to spam out, prompting Gregory's attention to the Faz-watch. What was happening? "Freddy! Can you hear me?"

"You keep going…jamming the communication signal…get out of…Gregory!" was all he heard from Freddy before the alarms blare out. The lights shut off and a metal hatch slams in front of the door.

"No!" Gregory disconnects the Faz-Watch and scrambles among the systems, desperate for a way to override the alarm.

"Gregorrryy." The bunny's red-eyed and mantic-smile mask in front of the screen. "There you are friend! See you soon!" Before the monitors cut out completely, leaving him in total darkness.

"Freddy!" Gregory runs to the hatch and bangs on it. "Freddy can you hear me? Let me out of here!" Through the alarms ringing, he could hear footsteps and judging by the footsteps, they were not the sounds of a robot. "Crap," He races to the other side of the room, making a hiding space between the monitors and walls.

"Stupid alarms." He hears a voice entering the room. A few clicks could be heard before the alarms stopped completely.

"Vanessa," A voice rings out on what it sounded like a radio. "Report."

"Another false alarm Colleen." Vanessa said.

"That is no false alarm. Someone had to be in there and I know who it was. Did you find that boy?"

"I doubt a kid knows how to work the security systems."

"Initiate level ten protocols for all robots, including Freddy and the Glam-band. I suspect that they had a hand in this. No one or nothing is allowed to leave any of their stations or rooms. Not until I find that kid." Colleen's voice rang out.

"Colleen," There was hesitation in her voice. "Don't you think we should just let him out and turn him over to the police…"

"Be quiet!" Colleen screams. "I will not let some brat ruin all the years of hard work I've done. Not with one final step to do. I cannot afford to let him down. Find that child Vanessa, or so help me God…I swear, when I find that troublemaker…" Gregory didn't hear the rest of the threat as Vanessa has left the room. Shakily, he steps out his hiding spot, hitting the screen on his watch. "Freddy? Freddy?"

No answer.

He carefully leaves the room and back into the hallway. He climbs into a trash bin, needing a minute to regroup, and failing as he cries tears of frustration. He was so close! Why does these hiccups keep happening?

He was back to square one. This time in the building with no guidance or any of his friends to help him. And now he was certain that this Colleen woman wanted to harm him. She had to be the reason why his dad disappeared, to lure him as bait. Between Colleen and Vanessa, Gregory wasn't sure who was the crazy person behind the killer bunny.

He wipes his face and exits the bin with a new mission in mind.

1. Save his dad.

2. Discover Colleen's masterplan and put an end to this evil once and for all.
