Pizzaplex

Parking Lot

1F

10:50 PM

It was a stary night sky, no snowfall tonight.

The Parts and Service bus arrived at the front of the Pizzaplex, Cassidy stopped it for a moment to let everyone off. They got off the bus, she waved at everyone as she brought it around to behind the Pizzaplex to park it in the employee garage where the glamrocks own personal cars are parked at.

The Aftons looked on at the Pizzaplex. Foxy, Mangle and Heather did fill them in on how Fazbear Entertainment changed so much over the years and in it's current state doesn't even resemble the old Fazbear in any capacity. They were quite shocked that the CEO of the company was the world's first AI CEO, Glamrock Freddy, the star animatronic of the company name. The family had a lot to process, except Michael. He already knew the company was in good hands and no longer the corrupt business his father once ran. He remembers reaching out to his daughter from the other side during the time of the Pizzaplex incident. It was hazy but he remembers bit's and pieces. He never thought he would actually be back in the realm of the living, in a new body.

The real twist, was when Heather revealed to them, she was the granddaughter of Henry Emily.

A lot to process, but nonetheless, the family was thankful the animatronics were offering them refuge in the Pizzaplex.

Jet and his team would be staying in the Pizzaplex tonight along with some extra armed Fazbear security teams around the clock. Everyone guarding in multiple groups and taking shifts.

Foxy was about to call Vanessa and Gregory to make sure their okay, just as Marta pulls up in her personal car, a 2033 BMW M3 into one of the front parking spots. She was in her casual outfit, and has Vanessa and Gregory with her, along with Dawkin in the front passenger seat. Dawkin was now back in his casual outfit as well.

Foxy was outside in the parking lot when he saw them pull up, he smiled in relief when he saw they were both okay.

"Foxy!" Vanessa ran up and hugged the fox, and so did Gregory.

"I'm just glad my two favorite sea stars are okay. Gregory from what I heard, you managed to de-commission Faux Freddy?" Foxy asked.

"Yeah…..I did…" Gregory said.

"While damaging city property, as well as a few businesses downtown. There's some pissed off business owners, and the city is not too pleased with everything that happened tonight, but we spoke with some folks in DC, and the federal government will pay for the damages. We now have Faux Freddy's body, and are studying it as we speak, and a hazmat team took care of the Remnant to properly dispose of it. We have someone handling the news media frenzy around tonight's scene on the streets…..Sigh….I'm sorry Gregory….it's not your fault kid…." Marta said.

"Well, we are okay, and that is what matter right now." Vanessa commented.

"Can we talk inside?" Dawkin asked.

"This is about us stepping over the line isn't it?" Foxy asked. The Fox and Dawkin were both silent for a brief moment.

"Yeah….let's take it inside." Dawkin said.

The group entered the Pizzaplex, Foxy lead everyone into the conference room just off the side of Rockstar Row. He called in the others, Mangle, Chica, Cassidy, Bonnie, Berry, Sun, Moon, Jet, Jenny, Cameron, Kellen, and Heather. The Afton's were staying in Mangle's apartment behind her green room for now.

"Where's my dad and the rest of my family? Are they okay?" Vanessa asked.

"Their fine hun, I'll walk you over to see them after." Mangle said.

Everyone took their seats, most of them still dressed in their night club outfits, not having a chance to change yet, except for Sun and Moon still in their daycare attire. There was no dress code for this meeting it was informal.

Foxy shut the door behind them.

"As friends, we truly thank you for your work tonight, really we do….Sigh…but now I have to put my professional hat back on. And I'm not happy about it. I have to tell you as a law enforcement arm for the government that begin as a sub-division of the FBI, you stepped way outside the parameters of what is okay and not okay. You guys are still considered civilians, that goes for both the humans and the robots in this room, even the Fazbear Tactical Team, despite your legal designation as a private military company, has no jurisdiction outside of the walls of Fazbear properties. That's where your job ends, and ours begins as a law enforcement branch of the US federal government. Not only that, but the information Foxy shared with all of you after our initial meeting, is considered classified. That's a felony, if any of you share that information publicly. This is serious guys." Dawkin warned.

"Look, I'll admit, yes I shouldn't have shared information with the rest of the team, but…Dawkin you have to understand, we're a family in this place. We look after each other, and right now, that scallywag Afton, could be doing who knows what to my little girl, and my two best friends. I know your not a father Dawkin, but you have to understand, I want my Roxy to be home safe and sound. And for poor Gregory here, it's the same situation, just in the reverse, the one father figure he now has in this life, is out there alone, scared, with Afton doing who knows what with him. Gregory already lost two parents in his lifetime, he doesn't need to lose a third. I saw an opportunity to get closer to saving them so I did what I had to for my family. I'm sure any other man in my position, be it robot or flesh would do the same for his family." Foxy said firmly.

"Foxy, I'll admit, I don't know what it's like to be a father, but I do know what it is like to do anything in your power to save someone you love. But I also know, how that drive can also cloud one's judgement pretty easily if not reined in. That scene at the bar could have easily turned into a bloodbath for everyone that was there. And unfortunately, I also did lose of one of my best tonight. It was not an easy phone call with his mother, I will leave it at that. I'm sorry to say this, but I must, since you are currently the one in charge of Fazbear Corporation in Freddy's absence….Our contract with Fazbear Corporation for intel sharing and joint operations with it's private military division, is now null and void. You officially are off this case, in every aspect. You are to not interfere with our operations moving forward on this case. We allowed you to work with us tonight, and greatly appreciate it, but I'm obligated to tell you if we notice you are using the previously gained intel, to interfere in an ongoing operation we are conducting, we have orders to arrest you." Dawkin said.

The room went silent, and Dawkin turned his head away, almost as if he was trying to resist showing any kind of guilt or remorse.

"Dawkin…no…." Foxy got up from his chair trying to talk to him.

"I will share any new updates on progress with you, but can't share anymore intel." Dawkin responded.

"I know that's not your own words…" Foxy said.

"…..The orders are directly from Washington DC….I am so sorry….believe me, I didn't want to do this. Even I tried to pull rank, I can't overrule the director of the OAOS." Dawkin said with a tear coming down his face.

"So that's it…." Mangle said her voice quivering.

"Marta…." Vanessa looked at her long time friend.

Marta just shook her head in despair.

"There's nothing we can do V….we're under orders….I'm so sorry. I promise I'll update you on progress. Believe me if there was something I could do, you know I would have done it already." Marta said.

Gregory was furious, he slammed his fist on the table and got up.

"Great, so you guys can just take your sweet time when some psycho, who by the way, I have met during the Pizzaplex incident, could be hurting my dad, my stepmom and my uncle. So glad you guys are on top of it…..by the time your done with this case….I'll have lost another dad!" Gregory got up storming out of the room.

"Gregory…" Vanessa got up about to chase him.

"V….I'll get him. I've got this. He just needs some time." Chica said.

Vanessa sat back down, with the look of a concerned mother still on her face.

"So this is it then…." Foxy said gesturing with his hands.

"I'm afraid there is nothing else I can do….I'm sorry….We have to get going. I wish everyone well. Really. Have a good night." Dawkin walked away looking defeated. Marta as well.

"Marta….just tell us….is this our fault?" Kellen said.

"No…in truth….it's nothing you guys did…it's the situation right now….and it's no longer under our command. I'm so sorry….I've got to go now before I start bawling by eyes out…I'll talk to you guys later…about not work stuff….." Marta said walking away without looking back.

"Marta…." Was all Vanessa could get out.

"V…will chat at a better time later….and I promise to make this all up to you, somehow." Marta said leaving.

"Dawkin…..I still respect you, and your still a friend of the family, but know this. I will not stop until they are home. With or without your team." Foxy said.

Dawkin admits he wanted to smile at that remark, deep down, he wanted to still work with the Fazbear gang, but knew, legally he was barred from doing so now that news of the information leak made it's way to the suit's in DC. He forced the idea of the smile away, hiding how he really felt.

"….Yeah….I don't doubt that for a second….here's to hoping we never see each other when we're both in uniform, for both our sakes." Dawkin said leaving.

Dawkin and Marta we're gone.

"Well that blows. We don't need their info, we've got my sources, and Berry's. We can figure this out on our own, screw em." Moon said.

"There's also the flash drive Elizabeth left me." Vanessa said getting up.

"Get us that drive." Moon and Berry said in unison.

"The more info the better." Moon said.

"I will…but first….let me make sure Gregory is okay." Vanessa said leaving the room.
