A whole week has passed since Thomas, Agnes and Spencer met Bella and Cal. Children were running back and forth, trying to find evidence. They went to the pizzeria "Toy Freddy and his friends" and to Agnes's house. During this time, Gil managed to join them. Bella introduced the guys to him, claiming that she saved his life, and for one thing changed his future for the better. Gil Shelbourne is the son of the mayor of Swallow Falls. He also helped the guys get some evidence, and the guys decided to tell him about Spencer and the other kids, which Gil easily believed. And so, they have everything they could find at hand. Some photos, newspaper articles and other small things. All that remained was to show them to the police, but they were unlikely to believe the crowd of children. It's good that Cal's father works for the police, because tonight, when they come to visit the boy, they will tell Earl everything. And maybe he will help in some way. Then the truth will be revealed.

Meanwhile, the guys managed to play and get to know Bella and Cal's friends. Dal is Cal's younger brother and instead of calling Bella by her name, he says, "Beba". They also met Flint, Sam and Brent, but more about them later.

14 hours 40 minutes

At this time, Helen was completely tired. All this week, the living children who came to the pizzeria went crazy. They found it very funny to take apart and break apart Toy Foxy. She is a harmless animatronic, so the children were not afraid of her. They tore off her arms, legs, and tail, swapped them, turning her into a kind of pile of wires, and then laughed at her. And at night, when there were only guards in the pizzeria, William would come and restore the robot to its former appearance. It was difficult, but William coped with it. And it was in those moments that Helen was grateful to K'hadesh to some extent, even though he had killed them. But then came the X-day.

The staff got tired of fixing Toy Foxy, as a result of which William, Scott and Henry made a unanimous decision to turn off the robot for a while. She remained in a broken state, and the crazy children turned this broken attraction into "take apart and put back together" attraction, to which the staff waved off the type: "She has long turned into a constructor, let them play". And Helen was offended. This is her favorite animatronic. She was so beautiful and lovely, and now...

Now it's a completely different animatronic. Everyone stopped calling her Toy Foxy. Now it was the Mangle. The only parts of the shiny plastic body that have survived are the head, hand and tail. Some of the parts used by whole robots to build arms and legs have a completely different purpose for the Mangle, for example, the left shoulder of the Mangle contains an unused appendage, while a second head grows from the right, more precisely, what used to be Richard the parrot. Mangle wears few items of clothing and accessories — only a red bow tie.

- Mangle?! Are they serious?! - girl complained to Sammy. - Not only did they break her, they also changed the name.

- What a scarecrow... - Sammy said when he saw the Mangle.

- That's what I'm talking about! It looks like just a bunch of wires! - Helen persisted, and Quentin sometimes barked, supporting the hostess.

12 hours 20 minutes

It has been 7 months since the Johnsons arrived in Bond City. They really liked it here. Good friends, school, teachers... Here the guys were able to find eccentric children, like them, the city welcomed them with open arms. Bond City really turned out to be their hometown.

But 2016 was already coming to an end and today the children and their parents decided to celebrate it at the Coopers' house. They were the ones who had the largest guest house. The adults were cooking and decorating the house, and the children were gathered in Casper's room. Even Lucy, Miranda and Masha came, although they tried to stay away from each other.

- And why did you tell us not to cook each other New Year's gifts? - Casper crossed his arms over his chest.

- Because I've come up with something better than a simple gift exchange. - Lucy says. - The game!

- What kind of game is this? - Betty asked.

- "Secret Santa"! I think you are familiar with this game and know the rules, right?

Everyone nodded.

- Okay. I've already made papers with your names on them, but don't you dare tell them to anyone, otherwise you'll lose!

Lucy takes the box of papers and holds it out. Everyone sticks their hands in and takes one piece of paper each.

- Now we can all go to the mall and look for gifts for each other! Meet me here at 18:00!

The children agreed and went to the mall, not forgetting to warn their parents and take the money.

12 hours 40 minutes

The children split up and went to look for gifts. Brian came across Bill's name. Although he has been friends with him for 7 months, he does not really understand which gift is suitable for a bully.

- Okay, Brian, calm down, you still have a lot of time before six... - boy gasped. - What is Bill's hobby?

Bill is interested in boxing. But what can Brian give him that has to do with boxing? Of course, the red-haired boy is fond of football, but boxing is not at all interesting to him. Hmm...

12 hours 50 minutes

Brian went into a sports store and began to wander around it. It's quite big, and Brian rarely went to such stores, so he felt a sense of discomfort all the time. He was trying to remember what Bill had told him recently. Something broke, and he kept wanting to buy something...

Boy did not notice how he reached the boxing department. Brian began to look around. Gloves, helmets, jump ropes... Helmets! Red-haired boy remembered that Bill had recently complained that he had lost his helmet, and he had not had time to buy it. The helmet will definitely be a great gift for the bully.

Taking one of the boxes, Brian headed for the cash register. Soon, with a happy smile and a package in his hands, he was heading home to the Coopers and his parents to wait for friends and the New Year.

At first, Jeremy thought that he had got a light man, and he would easily find a gift for him. However, after 20 minutes, he only got a headache.

- Is Casper sure he doesn't have a book that he hasn't read in his life? - Jeremy said out loud.

Yes, he must find a gift for Casper. And the only thing that can make him happy is a book that he definitely hasn't read. And he read a lot of books. This made it difficult to choose a gift.

The boy has been standing still for a long time and looking at the shelf with books, which is why the saleswoman came up to him to find out what was the matter.

- Excuse me, do you need help?

Jeremy turned around abruptly, as he did not expect anyone to speak to him. There was a young girl standing next to him and she was smiling sweetly.

- Uh... Yes... Tell me what to do if your friend has probably read all the books in the world and you don't know what to give him? - Jeremy points to a shelf of books.

- Oh... Well... Maybe your friend is interested in something else besides reading books? - the saleswoman said.

The boy thought about it. But that's for sure. Casper also loves video games, and he hasn't played Danganronpa either! Jeremy even wondered for the first time how he couldn't play this popular game and set himself a goal from the very beginning. Give him this game for the holiday.

- Thank you very much! - Jeremy says and runs out of the store. The girl just smiles sweetly.

At home, the boy searches for the Danganronpa in a pile of games and puts all the parts of the games that he has in a box. Then he seals the box with duct tape and slowly walks home to the Coopers.

13 hours 10 minutes

Ben really had an easy task. Lucy loves absolutely everything good that exists on the planet. However, Ben wanted to give her something really cool, because Lucy is the most loyal and optimistic friend that you won't find anywhere else! She deserves a good gift.

Ben goes to the toy store and inspects the goods. Lucy said that she dreams of a pet rabbit, but her parents forbid her to have any animals at their home. So Ben decided to find an interactive rabbit.

After about 20 minutes of searching, Ben found a good budget gift. It was a white interactive rabbit with a remote control. He could jump, talk, sing songs and the like. Now the boy was walking back to his parents to wait for the rest of his friends. Well, and gift too.

13 hours 30 minutes

Miranda prayed that she wouldn't get Lucy or Masha. She get Betty, and she was terribly glad. Miranda still remembered how the girl gave her a slingshot, because her friend wanted to repay her as well. To give something really cool. However, what?

- Damn it! I can't think of anything! - Miranda says and looks around. She comes across a small shop with all sorts of things for hiking and goes into it.

- Good evening! - says the young guy.

- It's noon now. - the blue-haired girl corrects.

- Oh, yeah... Doesn't matter, what brings you here?

- Do you have any kind of scout kits?

- Of course there is! Look! - the guy pulls out a small backpack from under the table and pulls out all the contents. Miranda groans. The backpack looks small, but it can fit an entire camp inside. There are a lot of things there: a sleeping bag, an air mattress, a waterproof long jacket, a raincoat with a hood, rubber-plastic slippers, a full scout uniform, a bathing suit, plates, spoons, a scout knife, a mug, soap in a soap dish, toothpaste, brush, towels, shampoo, toilet paper, handkerchiefs, notepad with pen, pencil, eraser, compass, flashlight, scout book, watch, camera with spare film and batteries. Any scout needed all this, and Betty would definitely be delighted with such a gift.

- I'm buying!

13 hours 45 minutes

Casper may have been friends with Tiffany, but finding a gift for her was quite a difficult task. It wasn't that he didn't know what gift to buy Tiffany, he knew, but he needed it to be perfect! Tiffany is strict and picky about everything, like her parents. That's what scared Casper.

- So, you need to think like Tiffany... - Casper says to himself. - What would Tiffany take for herself? An electronic bracelet? No, she can buy it herself if she needs to. Needs to! What does Tiffany need most right now?

Naturally, he didn't know. The girl never talked about what things she needed right now, and Casper had no idea what he should give her.

Suddenly Tiffany notices Casper and calls him. The boy turns around and sees her. He was a little scared, but he pulled himself together and approached his friend with the idea that he had to keep the identity of the person to whom he owed the gift a secret.

- Hello! How are things going? - Tiffany asks. She remembers the rules of the game.

- Hello! Fine. - Casper lied. - And yours?

- It's not bad either. I'll buy a present soon and go home. Don't tell me you've got my name. - Tiffany smiles.

- No, why would I! I'm just wondering which store is the best place to get it.

- I see. Well, I hope they will give me a diary for personal notes! I could buy it myself, but it would be kind of awkward if they suddenly gave it to me. Well, good luck! - the girl says goodbye and leaves.

- Bye! - Casper answers. Now he has no problem with the gift. Tiffany said what she wanted. He's lucky.

13 hours 55 minutes

Lucy loves to give gifts to friends, and since she knows who is interested in what and what they love, for her, choosing a gift has become only fun, not a problem.

The girl decided to buy a voice device for Brian's invention. The boy complained that he didn't have enough money for him, and the dog had to bark so loudly that everyone around would go deaf. So Lucy went into an electronics store to find the most powerful and loudest voice box.

- He will definitely be happy! - Lucy exclaims, holding a black box in her hands. It was small in size, but the sound was so powerful that everyone in the store would definitely go deaf. Putting it in a gift bag, the girl, humming a song, went home to the Coopers.

14 hours 20 minutes

Masha was choosing a gift for Jeremy. She knew that he loved video games and decided to give him one. She also wanted to play with a friend once, so she carefully chose one that would be interesting to both Masha and Jeremy. Mostly she wanted to have a closer conversation with her object of adoration, Brian. After searching for a few more minutes, Masha finally found something that she and her friend would like.

- It's going to be great. - the girl smiles, looking at the name of the game.

"Dead Space" is a horror game and there you need to kill all sorts of monsters and, of course, stay alive. That's all Masha remembered from the essence of the game. In fact, there are a lot of details in it and the plot is interesting, so the girl took it. Moreover, Jeremy loves scary games.

- Aren't you too little to play that? - the girl at the checkout asked, looking at the game and Masha.

- I'm old enough and prepared for this. - the girl calmly answers, and they give her the video game.

The task is successfully completed, and Masha heads to the Cooper house, imagining how she will communicate with Brian and blush with happiness.

14 hours 40 minutes

Bill was a bully, but he didn't want to give some nonsense to Ben. He knew that his friend was interested in skateboarding, so he was looking for a gift at a sports store. There was still plenty of time, and he was in no hurry. Bill remembered Ben telling him and Brian that the bearings were starting to lose their roll and needed to buy new ones. Bill thought the bearings would please his friend.

- That's all. - Bill says and goes to the checkout with the goods.

14 hours 50 minutes

Betty has reached a dead end. She didn't know what to give her friend. She first thought about the jump rope, but Masha already had it. Then she thought about glasses, but Masha also has them, and the girl categorically refused to wear lenses. Betty was thinking of giving some kind of toy, but that would be too corny. She's a scout, and scouts are always expected to do something new and awesome.

Betty did not notice it herself as she entered the children's store, and her feet led to the clothing department. Her gaze immediately fell on pajamas in the form of various animals.

- Wow! No one expects this for sure! - Betty smiles and takes one of Masha's pajamas.

And what kind of pajamas are these, we'll find out a little later.

15 hours

Tiffany already knew what she was going to give. Not only was she a strict leader, but she also thought through all her plans in advance. In her head, the girl has already made a plan for which store she will go to, what she will buy and how much she will pay for it.

Tiffany was given the most money, so she could buy a fairly high-quality and expensive gift. She's sure Miranda will like it. But what does she want to give her? Everything is simple. It's just a video game console that Miranda has been dreaming about ever since she played video games with Jeremy. Tiffany never doubted the choice of a gift. And now, having bought it, she goes home to the Coopers with a satisfied smile, to celebrate the New Year.

22 hours

It was getting close to midnight, and everyone was ready to celebrate the New Year. The parents sat and discussed everything in the world, some went outside, others watched TV, and the children played in the living room and were happy. They also managed to congratulate professor Baldi, principal Francis, Sock and First Prize. Two anomalies went to celebrate the New Year with other school employees.

Brian already imagined how next year he would represent his guard dog with deafening barking, Jeremy already admired how he would kill monsters in the game, and Masha watched and admired, because it turned out that the game was only for one player. Ben had already put the bearings on his skateboard, but he couldn't ride because of the snowdrifts and snow on the street, but he was still glad of the gift. Miranda was delighted with her console and had already invited Tiffany, Jeremy and Cooper to play with her tomorrow, Casper already wanted to go play Danganronpa, but Jeremy reminded him that the New Year was coming soon, Lucy was already running around the house with an interactive rabbit, Masha was trying on her pajamas in the form of a white unicorn with a purple horn, Betty was happy to look at every little thing in the scout kit, Bill imagined how he would smash rivals in boxing with a helmet, and Tiffany was already writing something down in her brand-new diary.

Later, everyone gathered at the table and celebrated the New Year 2017. Everyone is happy and thinks that this year will be a good one. Brian knows that he will do everything to make all his friends reconcile. And even if difficulties arise, he will certainly overcome them. And Brian is just happy.

20 hours 30 minutes

Thomas, Agnes, Spencer, Bella, Cal and Gil. These children were looking for evidence against William Afton and now it seems to them that everything they brought to the Deveraux house is enough to suspect a man.

- Mom, dad, we're home. - Cal shouts, and Regina comes out to him.

- Hi there. And what do you have in the package, if it's not a secret? - she smiles, and Dal points at the package in her arms.

- We want to show it to dad. By the way, where is he? - Cal asks, and mom tells them to go to his office.

20 hours 40 minutes

- Dad, do you remember the missing kids in the pizzeria and the killer who wasn't found? - Cal asks, to which Earl nods. - Well, we seem to know who the killer is.

20 hours 45 minutes

- This is Samuel Emily, the first missing child. He disappeared on September 20th. He was never found. And even at the pizzeria, he and the killer weren't caught on camera, so there's no evidence there either. However, Agnes was at the pizzeria that day, and although she was sitting far away from Sammy, she managed to take a picture of the moment when someone takes the boy away. - Cal put a picture of Olivia on the table, with a man leading Sammy away in the background. - He's in a purple uniform. And William Afton also wears this uniform.

Cal's father sat with a serious face, looking at the evidence and listening to the children without making a sound.

- This is Charlotte Emily. Her body was found on October 15. She was lying behind the pizzeria "Fredbear's Family Diner" near the garbage cans and an animatronic Marionette was lying next to her. That evening, exactly when Charlie was killed, William Afton, according to my friend Naomi, went to the grocery store for food and returned late, but without food bags. There were none at all. We couldn't find much on this murder, as the rain washed away all the evidence, and the body was found almost immediately. - Thomas said, showing a printed article from the Internet about Charlie's murder. - She was also Sammy Emily's older sister.

- These are the missing kids at pizzeria "Freddy Fazbear and his friends". There are only eight of them missing. And they all disappeared on November 5th. Strangely enough, the cameras turned off by themselves, although no one entered the security office, and the cameras were in good order. According to our assumptions, the first one was Naomi Afton. She is 7 years old. She's William Afton's great-niece. Judging by the photos I took, he took her somewhere and then returned, but without her. - Agnes showed a picture of Olivia and Agnes' mom, and in the background someone was taking Naomi away.

- The next second was Helen Roberts. She is 7 years old. There are no photos, since Helen was in another room and no one saw her, but according to our guesses, William Afton found her near the slot machine and took her somewhere, but also returned without her, but in a Spring Bonnie costume, which lured another child, presumably the third one who disappeared. - Bella put down the photo. - This is Brian Johnson and he is 10 years old. He was sitting in a dry pool, but Spring Bonnie, or William Afton, beckoned him with a flag and took him away. And at this time, his younger brother Jeremy Johnson was looking for him, he is 9 years old. He left in an unknown direction. William Afton returned without a suit and children.

- We also found some evidence. - Gil put an axe in a cellophane bag on the table. If you look closely, you can see drops of dried blood with an armed eye, like Gil's. - And the fifth was Olivia Baker. She is 7 years old. She is Agnes' older sister. The photo shows that the girl went backstage, where there was a table with soda and it is no longer visible behind her what happened next. However, Olivia never came out from behind those scenes.

- Cassidy Cawthon became the sixth. He is 7 years old. According to our guesses, he was sitting at a distant table, but William Afton also took him somewhere. The seventh was sitting with him — Gabriel Cawthon. He's 7 years old, and he's Cassidy's older brother. When he did not see the younger one on the spot, he ran to look for him and did not return. - Cal continues.

- And the last, eighth — is Spencer Bishop. He is 13 years old. He was looking for Olivia and ran into the kitchen. William Afton followed him in. And only he came out of there. This is Bella's drawing. She guessed that something was wrong and assumed that these were murders. That's all the evidence we could find. - Thomas finished.

It took Earl a minute to go through all the evidence, photos, and digest what the children had said.

- So. - Earl began to speak in a calm voice. - First of all, when did you manage to photograph all this?

- Agnes has a habit of taking pictures of everything. - Cal explained.

- Well, where did you get the axe from?

Here the children fell silent, not knowing what to say. They absolutely just stole it from an abandoned pizzeria.

- I have permission to do this. - everyone was saved by Gil, who showed his certificate from the mayor that he can go wherever he wants and take whatever he wants. - From the mayor's dad himself.

- Okay. And you know, you can show it to the police. You're doing great, especially you, Cal! I'm sure you'll be a great cop! - the father did not miss the opportunity to praise his son. - I'll show all this evidence to the police tomorrow. And you can be free.

21 hours 10 minutes

The guys were sitting in Cal's room and were glad that they had managed to prove who the killer was.

- I wonder how we can get a confession from William himself? - Gil says his thoughts out loud.

- It's all very confusing here. We know it's not Afton's fault, but this K'hadesh's. - Thomas says.

- But no one will believe us about him for sure. - Spencer says.

- Oh, one more thing. I found out that William is going to his grandmother's tomorrow, and I'm going to spy on him. - Thomas begins, and everyone falls silent.

- Be careful with him! What if he notices and decides to kill you! Or he will guess everything and then he will definitely kill you! - Bella says, shaking Thomas by the scruff of the neck, and the boy begins to have a headache.

- Yes-yes-yes-yes, I get it! - Thomas shouts, as Bella screams almost the whole room.

And this trip will change a lot in children's lives.
