Silence loomed in the apartment for that moment, as Zack and Sofia stood looking at Lily, as if something in their minds was preventing them from answering the question at first. Lily noticed this sudden silence, and she knew that this conversation may become hazardous if she didn't play her cards right.

Sofia was the first to speak, and she said, "Why Miss Lova, why would you suddenly ask about that?"

Sofia tried to smile politely, but there was a nervous twitch on her bottom lip that Lily noticed. Then Lily replied,

"I was just wondering since you did ask me before if I was able to fix those animatronics at Freddy's."

Sofia looked as though she relaxed for a moment when she said, "Oh, oh I see. Well Miss Lova, indeed we do make animatronics. We construct them and wire them and make their skin. Then we send them out. Of course, we usually take them here to fix, or send spare parts to each place."

Zack shifted his more stern gaze to Sofia, which made her stop talking, although she covered it up with a fake smile. Lily took a moment to breathe, and then she asked,

"You don't usually have problems with fixing the animatronics do you? Or are low on funds at any point?"

"It's not a bother to fix them of course, but we are low on payment for fixing the animatronics, at least at Freddy's," Zack replied, and he leaned more back into his chair.

Lily nodded, although she hid her irritation, and she asked, "So, you would prefer to work and get paid a more fair sum?"

Zack and Sofia nodded, and then Lily quickly asked, "Even on another person's expense?"

Sofia and Zack nearly nodded, but they stopped themselves as their eyes widened. Lily's expression was poker-faced, but Zack and Sofia became even more nervous because of that.

"Um, Miss Lova, you seem to be attempting to get somewhere with these questions, am I right?" Sofia asked, with one eye lower than the other in question.

Lily sat up straight in her seat and she said, "Mrs. Azalar, I have a notion that because you were low on funds, that you distinctly asked me about my work in front of the animatronics to spark trouble for me... and I don't appreciate it."

Sofia shifted back in her seat, as her eyes widened from Lily's answer and from Lily's serious stare.

"W-Why I... what makes you think that I would d-do such a thing to you?" Sofia asked, trying her best not to stutter.

"It's obvious that you didn't appreciate the funds you were receiving for your service to Freddy's... that's probably why the suits you sent there weren't equipped with a full endoskeleton huh?" Lily said, as she tapped her fingers on the arm rest of the chair she was sitting on.

Sofa and Zack looked towards one another in surprise. Then there eyes seemed to darken, and became half-closed, as they turned towards Lily. Zack smirked and said,

"You figured us out pretty well. Better than the cops at least. Well done Miss Lova."

Lily's eyebrows furrowed, and she said, "So you've been building hazardous animatronics this whole time..."

"We are only the builders, we didn't design their specific model, and we don't control what they do. Even if it may be unsavory, it's not like it's our fault," Sofia said, with a little smile.

Lily looked at them in surprise and disgust. Then Zack said,

"We only care for income. What they do doesn't matter to us unless it benefits us."

"What do you mean?" Lily asked.

"Well, let's say that there is an accident of some sort in one of the places... or six of them... we know that the owners and companies would want to keep quiet about the incidents to keep their names from being tarnished... so if we told them to pay us a little more to keep quiet, then we would reap the benefits," Sofia said with a sort of devious smirk.

Lily was astonished, as she said, "You... you mean to tell me that you know about certain incidents that happened in six of the places and... and you kept quiet because they paid you? Wait, then you know about the children who died in Freddy's years ago!"

Sofia and Zack looked towards one another, as they chuckled, and then they looked towards Lily with arrogant smiles. Then Zack said,

"We know all that has happened, and we know that the more incidents occurred, the more money they would pay us to be silent... I guess you could say that, at Freddy's, we've made a fortune."

Zack and Sofia started to chuckled again, as Lily looked at them in disgust and asked,

"How could you? How could you just sit there, knowing that those children probably died, just so that you could fill your wallets?!"

Zack stood up from his seat, as did Sofia, and he said, "Well, it's not like those children were ours, and I think this conversation is o-"

Zack and Sofia's eyes widened when they saw Lily holding a shotgun with both hands, as she stood on her seat looking at them.

"Please, explain a little more to me," Lily said, as she gestured with the shotgun for them to sit.

Zack and Sofia slowly sat down, as they stood looking at Lily and the gun in silence.

"Why wouldn't you say anything? And what happened in each place?" Lily asked, as she held the shotgun firmly and aimed it towards their direction.

"We didn't want other potential customers to be frightened by us if they knew we were associated with those troublesome places. We made a deal to not speak about them and get rid of evidence if they paid us to, and to never mentioned our service for them to anyone," Zack said.

"Get rid of evidence?" Lily asked.

"If there is, you know, dried blood on the animatronics... dirty floors that need bleach... or supposed bodies in the suits then we agreed to eh hem... take care of them," Sofia replied.

Lily's eyes widened as she realized that Ethan was indeed in a suit, and that made her think if they knew he was there the whole time.

"Of course, we only get rid of dead things, so if there's anything living then... we'll just have to let it sit at it's place until it dies," Zack said, as he smirked and Sofia giggled.

Lily gasped as she realized that they probably left Ethan in the backroom of Freddy's so that he would die, and then they would be able to get rid of his body. Her blood began to boil, but her surprise in their cruelty prevented Lily from shooting them there and now.

"But of course..." Zack said and continued, "I'm sure if anything happens to us, it would cause trouble for those who own the businesses now."

"Oh yes it would, and I'm sure the person who got rid of us would certainly be put to jail for murder, and the owners of the other places would help make that happen in secret for their own sake," Sofia said, as she leaned back in her seat.

Lily gripped her gun in anger and frustration, but then she signed. She realized that they were right, and she also realized that she didn't have it in her to shoot them, even if they were evil miscreants. Then Sofia said,

"Of course, we won't tell anyone that we were threatened or that you have a gun in your possession... as long as if you don't tell anyone about what you know about Freddy's or the others places, especially about us."

Lily looked at them in disgust, but she couldn't see any other way out of the situation without blood shed.

"I'm sure you care about Ethan Lova, so I'm sure you wouldn't bother us again," Zack said with a devious smile, as Lily looked at him in surprise.

"We suspected that someone who knew one of the employees would possibly come for us if they destroyed the animatronics, since we continue to keep up with manufacturing them. Of course, I was surprised to see it was you Miss Lova," Sofia said with a smirk, as Lily looked at them with frustration and some defeat.

Then Zack and Sofia stood up, and Zack said, "Now, I'm sure you would like to go. You wouldn't want to keep Ethan waiting, and we would like to sleep in peace."

Lily breathed in and out slowly, as she stood up from her seat, ready to go.

However...

when Lily looked towards the door she froze in shock as her eyes widened and was fixated on something that stood there. Zack and Sofia were confused by Lily's shocked state, and they turned to see what she was looking at. Their eyes slowly widened, as their jaws immediately dropped from what they saw:

There stood before them, a once animate suit that was abandoned and forgotten looking at them with eyes of darkness and silent rage. There was a dark bowler hat on his head, with a bow tie of the same color on his chest, and a microphone in one hand. His mouth was open, and he stood standing on his two feet with black eyes that had two small pupils in each one. His signature color was all golden, and his appearance depicted that of a bear.

Zack and Sofia were shocked to see the old animtronic that they thought was gone standing before them. Lily was shocked beyond words.

"You two..." The golden bear said, as Sofia and Zack took a step back with horror-striken expressions.

"Y-You can sp-speak to u-us," Zack said, stuttering.

"Wh-What are you d-doing here G-Golden F-Freddy?" Sofia asked, also stuttering in fear.

'Golden Freddy...' Lily thought, as she realized the similarity in structural appearance.

Golden Freddy looked straight towards Lily, hearing her say his name in her mind. Lily stiffened when he looked towards her, and she considered that he read her mind. Then Golden Freddy turned his attention back towards Zack and Sofia, and he said,

"You left us to die... on purpose, even the guards. They might have been saved if you would have said something. Did you let him get them on purpose? Did you let all of us suffer? Puppet made us stay because you never stopped him… You never stopped us. You knew… You made them pay you with blood money… BLOOD MONEY! YOU LET EVERYONE S-S-SUFFER FOR BL-BLOOD MONEY! OUR BLOOD!"

Zack and Sofia began to tremble from the intensity of Golden Freddy's voice and how his jaw would twitch horridly when he would glitch in speech. Lily stepped to the side because she didn't want to be in Golden Freddy's range of visual terror.

"P-Please Golden Freddy! It was s-so long ago!" Sofia said, as she trembled.

"Why d-do you care anymore?! You are not real anyway! This is a l-lie!" Zack shouted, as he guarded his head with his arms.

Golden Freddy stood silent for a moment, which caused more tension in the room. Then Golden Freddy said,

"You... don't... even care... just like... just like... just like HIM! RAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Golden Freddy lunged forth towards Zack and Sofia with his mouth wide open and rage in his dark eyes, as they screamed in horror.

Lily watched, although she turned away most of the time, as Golden Freddy attacked Zack and Sofia with such monstrous ferocity. He punched and scratched and crushed their bones, although they still fought with him. What made the onslaught of this brutal beating worse was when Zack and Sofia started yelling at Golden Freddy, and Lily thought she heard them laughing but figured that would be too crazy to be true.

Finally, Golden Freddy stopped when he sensed that their was no life in them anymore. He stood staring at their bloody corpses, not feeling so good about it since he let his anger get the best of him, but not regretting his actions either.

Golden Freddy stood up on his two feet, as he looked himself over and saw that there was blood splattered all around his body, although he didn't care so much about it. Then he remembered Lily, as he turned towards her. He saw that she wasn't looking down at the two corpses, and that she was scared enough seeing him with blood all over himself, although some of it started fading off of him. Then Golden Freddy said,

"Lily, leave now. Go back to Ethan, Mike, and Foxy. I'll take care of this."

Lily immediately ran out of the apartment and out of the building into her car. She continued to drive straight towards where the other guys were, as tears were streaming down her cheeks, although she ignored them along the way.
