Wednesday, December 19th 2035
7:30 PM
OAOS captain Lance Dawkin was walking down a hallway in his normal office attire as a OAOS agent, with the exception of his Glock 19 in his holster and his official badge on his belt. He was not in his usual tactical uniform. Headed towards a meeting room where Fifi Mouse, the mouse animatronic who is part time Pizzaplex employee, part time OAOS agent, was seated. She was also in her office attire with the exception of her Glock 19 service pistol in it's holster on her belt.
All other members of the Salt Lake division of the OAOS were there in similar attire. Blox, Fusion, Cove, Pop, and Kane were all there.
"Okay cap, what is this about? Calling us into the office this late on a Wednesday?" Blox asked.
"Yeah, I got a stream to hop on to in an hour." Fusion said.
"I just had to cancel a Door Dash order when you called." Cove said.
"Well, I promise this won't take long." Lance said sitting at the table.
Lance sat down at the table pulling his laptop out and connecting it to the projector in the room.
He had Pop, another animatronic who is an OAOS agent close the door to the room.
"So these images I'm about to show you, are to not leave this room. You are not to tell anyone outside this agency, not even the FBI, at least until some things are dealt with first. Understood?" Lance said with his British accent.
Everyone got serious and nodded in agreement. Lance's team know when it came down to it, he didn't joke around when it came to matters like this.
Lance put up an image of a middle-aged man handing off keys to an FBI van to a man who looked like William Afton in his prime.
"No…No way…that's William…how is he?" Blox said.
Cove saw it but wasn't surprised at William, she was the one who recovered the security footage and data off the flash drives Luis Caberra left behind after he was killed legally by Vanessa Afton by firearm in defense two months ago.
"Yes…that's him. We will get to that in a minute Blox. But do you recognize the man handing the keys to William?" Lance said.
"That's…HAUSER!?" Everyone in the room said except Cove.
"Yes…he's been in on whatever scheme Vanny and William have been working on together. We have a man inside the FBI, the director of the FBI, working with William Afton and Vanny. I have already been in contact with internal affairs at the FBI." Lance said.
"I thought I could trust Hauser, even if I am not a fan of his approach to things, but this has proven to me he is a traitor to what we stand for. We cannot make a move yet, because of the domino effect it could have in the public eye at the moment, but we need to see what else he's planning. A side from providing an official government vehicle to the enemy, he also had an affair with the mayor of Salt Lake City's daughter and paid the family to be hush, hush about it when we found emails on another flash drive Luis Caberra has in his possession." Lance said.
"Luis was probably planning to use them for leverage, sounds like Hauser wasn't only working for William." Fifi said.
"It gets worse. We also uncovered, the Hurricane's Police Department's police chief, Tom Harrison, has been working with William and in contact with both Luis and Vanny. There's also a third party he had been in contact with that goes by the codename "Eclipse". As a result, I've contacted Hurricane's internal affairs department to investigate and I also personally have brought in a new agent. Two new agents actually." Lance said.
"Wait new agents, I didn't know we had new hires today. They already completed their training?" Kane asked.
"Well they didn't train formally, but they met the qualifications…." Lance gestured for Cove to open the door.
Two blonde women entered the room, both dressed in office attire with their badges displayed on their belts, along with their service weapon's in their holsters.
"Agents…Meet Agent Marta Fitzgerald, and Agent Elizabeth Afton." Lance said.
Everyone was silent.
"I know I'm just as shocked as you all are." Marta said.
"As of one week ago, Marta handed in her resignation at the Hurricane Police Department and is now a full fledged Federal Agent within the OAOS. Her jurisdiction no longer has boundaries and we could use someone with her experience both as former Hurricane SWAT, Fazbear Tactical Operative, and detective." Lance said.
"Okay, but that doesn't answer the um, murderer, clone, thing in the room?" Blox said.
Elizabeth eyes darted downwards and her head turned to the side, feeling the sins of her past.
"I knew you all would have questions about Elizabeth and I can understand why you would feel the way you do. She did after all murder an innocent bystander and caused numerous property damage to private property months ago. She's well aware of what she has done, but her knowledge on the William Afton case will help us greatly. We had to weigh our options since time is of the essence. We also cannot let the FBI take custody of her as a prisoner, at least with it's current leadership in place. We made a deal that if she becomes an OAOS agent and utilizes her skills to help us, we will make sure the murder charge is dropped, and as an OAOS agent she is immune to any action from the FBI to prosecute her. It was not an easy decision to make but Elizabeth has proven she is trying to redeem herself, so we will give her the opportunity. Should she fail us, she knows what the legal consequences will be." Lance said firmly.
"I promise I won't let you down. I know what I've done, I'm not proud of it. But if doing this means saving those I care about, then so be it." Elizabeth said.
"Okay then, that said let's get to work. I just received an approval for a warrant to search a warehouse that has connections to Vanny. Is everyone ready?" Lance asked.
"I'll get the gear the and van ready." Fusion said getting up. Fifi followed him.
"Okay everyone, suit up." Lance said.
As everyone left the room, he stopped Elizabeth on the way out.
"There's some good in you, I can sense it. Don't let us down, please." Lance said.
