It took a little patience, some research and a whole lot of risks, but she had done it. After a seven hour drive, Molly had finally arrived at Playtime Co.

It was a humungous factory with multiple smoke stacks that were all very colorful, despite no one being there for 10 years. Even the parking lot that Molly was in was gigantic so as to fit all the employee vehicles.

And Molly knew, somewhere in this factory, were the answers to many of her questions.

"Well...here I am. Man...this place is huge." she said to herself as she stared at the factory from inside the van. She looked at it a bit more before facing forward, took a calming breath...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

-and screamed at the top of her lungs before she started to smash her forehead against the steering wheel, the horn beeping with each strike. She repeated this several times before simply pressing her head against the horn, giving out a long honk as she screamed again before finally lifting her head up and slumping in her seat.

"I...cannot...believe I did this." she said as she ran her fingers down her face. "I stole my dad's van! I stole gas money from my mom's purse! I raided the fridge for a few snacks to bring on this trip! Now I'm here, I ate the snacks and I'm out of gas!" she finished before releasing a long suffering sigh. "My parents are going to kill me." she moaned. She stayed that way for another minute before sighing and getting out of the van. "Good thing it's getting dark. Hopefully, no one will see me breaking in." she said as she began to walk towards the factory, only to do a quick 180, walk back towards the van, open it and pull her bag full of toys out of the passenger seat. "Almost forgot you guys." she said with a smile before closing the van and began walking towards the factory.

Unbeknownst to her, she was not alone.

Two minutes after she left the van, a figure rose up from the very back of the van.

"You are in so much trouble~" Stuart whispered with a grin as he watched his stepsister walk towards the factory, a hand held video camera recording Molly the whole time. "I am so glad I saw her web history."

-Flashback-

Stuart was spying on Molly as she used the family computer. He couldn't see what it was since it was only small letters and she had shooed him away when he asked what she was looking at, but he could make out the photo of the Playtime Co. factory.

'What is she looking at?' he thought.

"Molly!" called the mother.

"Yeah, Mom?" Molly called back.

"I need a hand with making dinner." she said.

"One second!" Molly yelled before closing the window. "Coming." she said before she got up and walked towards the kitchen.

'Now's my chance!' Stuart thought as he got on the computer. "Let's see...browser history." he muttered as he brought up the last few pages Molly was looking at. "Hmm. Location of Playtime Co. Directions to get there?...Why is she looking this up?" he muttered before he heard Molly coming back. "Crap!" he whispered before clicking out of the page and taking off.

-Present-

After that, he'd see Molly sneaking some snacks into a little bag and heard her muttering about when to take off for Playtime Co., along with how to get there. When he heard her mutter about the van, he knew she was gonna go. After all, everyone knew about her obsession with the toys from that factory. And thanks to that, he knew when to hide himself inside the van and go along for the ride. He'd nearly screamed when he heard Molly yell and honk the horn, which had startled him awake in the back, but held his tongue and listened to her until she left.

Now, he was watching her, a hand held video camera in hand and zoomed in on her.

"Cost my whole allowance, but this thing was worth it." he said with a grin. "This is my best idea yet. I'll film her breaking in and do...whatever she plans to do here. Then I'll blackmail her into doing anything I want! I'll make her give me her desserts forever, make her do my homework, pay me back the money I spent on this camera...I'll make her tell me how she keeps tying my shoelaces together from across the table! How does she do that without moving from her seat!?" he ranted before calming down and smiling. "And then, when I'm finally done, I'll show the tape to mom and dad and get her grounded for life!...Wait, she's almost 18. She'll move out soon...Eh, okay. She'll be grounded for a few months. And, as the finishing touch, I'll ask mom and dad for her toys~" he sang as he slowly got out of the car and gently shut it before going bacak to recording Molly. His smile fell when he felt lights shine on him for a moment, making him turn to see another car pulling into the parking lot and driving towards the van. "Uh oh!" he yelped before ducking out of sight as the car pulled up next to the van. He kept a hand over his mouth in the hopes that whomever was there wouldn't hear him breathing.

"So this is Playtime Co.?" he heard a female's voice ask.

"Yep." came a male's simple answer.

"Good. Time to teach that toy loving bitch a lesson." the female said, her tone sounding angry, yet gleeful.

'They know Molly? Who are they?' Stuart thought.

"You two can head in. I don't care about your vendetta against Dolly Molly." the man said.

"But we all need to go." came a different female's voice. "The more of us that go in, the more toys we can take after we're done."

"Ugh. Don't you start with all that. You'll turn into another Dolly Molly, and one is bad enough." groaned the first female's voice.

"Have you forgotten what I said on the way here?" the second female asked. "This factory may have shut down, but the toys it made are still highly sought after as collector's items. I read that one guy even paid 1,000 dollars for a Boogie Bot."

"One grand for one toy?!" the first female screeched in shock.

'A thousand bucks for one little toy?!' Stuart thought with wide eyes. You could almost hear the cha-ching coming from both Stuart and the other group. Stuart's mind began to play an image of him sitting on a giant pile of cash, fanning himself with bills as more rained from the sky. 'I need to get my hands on those toys!'

"That's a lot of cash for one toy." the man said with a whistle. "Alright. I'm in, but only for the toys. I'll leave you to get revenge on Molly for busting your nose."

"Fine." the first female huffed. "First, we'll wait until she's inside. Then we'll sneak in the same route as her."

"Hope this place doesn't have active security." the second female said. "If it does, then the alarm might go off when she breaks in."

"Well, if it does go off, then we can say we witnessed her breaking in. That'll get her expelled for sure." the first female giggled.

"No! If it does go off, then the cops will close the place off! We'll never get those toys!" the second female whined.

'If that happens...!' Stuart thought before the image of him with all the money came back, the cash suddenly disappearing and leaving him penniless. 'CRUD!' he thought as he watched Molly approach the door. 'Please don't set the alarm off!' he thought on a loop.

"Think she'll break a window?" the man asked.

"She's trying the front entrance." said the second female.

"Like it's gonna be unlocked. The place has been abandoned for holy crap it's unlocked?!" the first female suddenly yelped when they saw Molly open the door, look at it, then step inside.

"How'd she do that?" the second female asked.

"Maybe they never locked the place up?" the man asked. "I mean, they say that all the workers here suddenly vanished ten years ago. Maybe nobody had the key to lock it with."

"Who cares? That just means we can use the front door too. Come on." the first female ordered.

'Yikes!' Stuart thought before slipping under the car. He waited as three figures walked past the car and towards Playtime Co. 'Great. Now I gotta avoid Molly and whoever these guys are.'

None of them knew it, but they were going to need to avoid more than just each other soon.


A/N: Short chapter, but it was to set things up a little. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer.
