Wednesday
...I never thought of being part of this solution, but we called to be at the station again. This time for questioning, I am not sure why, I guess it is because we partly witnessed Manny's disappearance? I'm not really sure.
Mum and dad were quiet and anxious as we sat in the cold, sterile room waiting for our turn to be questioned by the detectives. I saw other people in the room with me, there must've been the other missing kids' families because they looked just as worried as my parents.
When the detective finally called us in, his steely eyes bore into mine, searching for any sign of suspicion, That just freaks me out a lot.
He asked us a barrage of questions, probing for details about Manny's behaviour leading up to his disappearance, any potential enemies he might have had, and if there was anyone who would want to harm him. I could see the worry etched on my parents' faces as they answered each question carefully for the investigation.
But as the whole interrogation went on, a thought nagged at the back of my mind...What if Manny wasn't just another missing kid? What if there was something more sinister at play here? The whisper from the Puppet echoed in my ears, and it is still sending a shiver down my spine.
It has to be a thought.
After a while, we had to wait for about an hour with the other families, before the chief came with some old TV with those VHS tape players. He explained that some footage from the pizzeria's security cameras had been found, and they hoped it would provide some clues as to what happened to the missing kids, at least if it's not much.
As the screen flickered to life, mom and dad held their breath, hoping for answers.
The footage showed a figure in a yellow Bonnie costume leading two kids, whom I recognized as two of the five missing kids, towards the back of the pizzeria, disappearing into the shadows. My heart pounded in my chest as I watched in horror
My heart pounded in my chest as I watched in horror, realising that this yellow Bonnie was not just an ordinary animatronic! I was watching a horror movie! Thankfully, the footage ended as he led them to the 'Parts and Services' room.
As the footage came to an end, the room fell into a heavy silence. I was horrified because Yellow Bonnie looks like something from my nightmares. It was then that a chilling realisation crept over me, sending shivers down my spine. The figure in the yellow Bonnie costume bore a striking resemblance to the mysterious purple car I had seen parked near Freddy's.
Could it be possible that the two were connected somehow? Was it just a coincidence, or was there something much more sinister at play? No, no, I'm just being dramatic here.
Mum and dad exchanged worried glances, their faces paled with shock. Roderick was just... quiet, but I sensed his fear and unease, and the other families were just as terrified as well, especially the same two kids' families.
The chief turned to us with a grave expression, informing us that they would need our help in identifying any potential suspects who may have had access to such an odd costume. He also tells us that during a small early morning inspection on Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy, they found that the animatronics had been tampered with, their metal skeletons twisted, and wires exposed.
He also reported a strange scent coming from the animatronics and the parts and services room, but I know what he meant, that smell still burns my nose. He later told us that they'll call us for any new updates or developments in the case
Manny, please be enough as I am writing this
