And Then There Were None
This is a story I've been wanting to do since the very beginning. What would you do if for whatever reason you worked at a place at Freddy's and a situation arose? Well, here's what I think Mike would do. Hopefully you'll enjoy. Rated T for language and some possible gore.
Chapter One - 12:00am
Mike wasn't sure why he kept coming back. The pay was horrible and there was always the chance of horrible mutilation. It was his fifth night here at Freddy Fazbear's. It was lonely, terrifying, and his one friend, the man on the phone (or "Phone Guy" as he liked to call him) was most likely dead by this point. Hell, he was probably dead before Mike even started working there. Maybe he didn't quite understand the danger involved in working there. Or maybe it was the fact that the job didn't involve as much work beyond closing some doors. There was the possibility that he felt pretty important in that security uniform. It could quite possibly just be Stockholm Syndrome. Point is, Mike wasn't sure why he kept coming back.
He liked to get to the restaurant around 11:30, when the lights were still on and the cleaning staff were still there. Just so he didn't have to be alone the entire night. That, and the last thing you would ever want to do is be late for your shift at Freddy Fazbear's. Heaven forbid if Mike came in late and he couldn't get into the office and be killed by the animatronics that were already out. The cleaning crew would smile at him as he passed. He had a feeling that they didn't know the true danger involved his work. No one did.
There was a strange pace that he kept on the way to the office. He didn't want to go too fast, as if by getting to the security office early, it would bring out the animatronics early, like he would be forced to stay there longer. But on the other hand, he had the fear that if he went too slowly, he wouldn't be able to get to the office in time and the animatronics would catch him in the hall, completely defenseless. Not that he was totally armed to the teeth in the office. But he could at least close the doors in their faces.
The curtains were closed on the two stages, not that he was surprised. They had been closed every night, and on one hand, Mike was glad, since he didn't have to look at them. But on the other hand, he would like to know that they were actually there, as opposed to some place they shouldn't be. Like the office. He wasn't brave enough to peek inside the curtains however, although there was that childlike curiosity in him that longed to see what they were like before they became the hunters.
His heart began to race as he neared the office. It was much darker down these corridors. He didn't like to think what these hallways were like during the day. No wonder why the establishment was in deep shit. It was scary even during the day. Every step brought him closer to another night of horrors, and he wondered once again why he came. His footsteps echoed in the hall, and now he only had himself. Momentarily, he wondered if he should go to the back stage and see if he should carry out Phone Guy's last wishes. But something stopped him. He was not ready to face the truth. Taking a deep breath, he made note that at least there were places to hide in the office and that his job only required him to stay in said office. Heavens knows what would happen if he had to patrol the place. He would much rather stay in the office than have to wander the halls, hoping not to bump into anything.
Zack, Jimmy, and Buddy sat waiting for Guy to come out of his house. They had big plans tonight, and someone was going to get fucked if Guy was going to hold them up longer than they needed to. Zack looked at his watch, then back at the house as Jimmy nearly fell asleep at the wheel.
"What the fuck is taking him so long?" Zack hissed under his breath.
"He better not be drunk," Jimmy mused. "Heaven forbid if our plans fall through because Guy decided to get plastered."
"It's going to be light before we make it inside the place, and it's gonna be his fuckin' fault," Zack growled, leaning back in his chair. They were borrowing Jimmy's car tonight, since it was the same as every other car. And it was fast. But they wouldn't have to worry about that tonight.
"Calm down," Buddy said in the back seat. "It's not even midnight yet. We have plenty of time. This is going to be epic."
Before Zack could reply, the door to Guy's house opened, and Guy finally made his way down the path and to the car. He quickly scrambled in and sat down next to Buddy.
"Sorry I took so long," Guy apologized. "Had to settle my kid down for the night. She was so excited about going to Freddy Fazbear's that I couldn't get her to settle down. I was afraid she was never going to fall asleep."
"Well, the night is young and the place isn't too far away," Buddy replied. "I think we can still make it."
"Are you sure it's a good idea leaving your daughter alone in your house?" Jimmy asked. "You said it's a pretty tough neighborhood."
"I've got my brother looking after her," Guy replied. "And I locked up tight. Nothing's getting in or out of there. Hopefully that won't be true about where we're going. I still can't believe we're doing this."
"Relax, bro," Buddy said. "If we do this job right, you won't have to worry about your daughter's safety anymore. We can get a nice big fancy apartment."
"You can call it a 'job' all you want," Guy muttered. "It's still robbery. How do we even know this is going to work? What if the place isn't that loaded?"
"You know the place is," Zack said, rolling his eyes. "The place is super popular. It's basically a gold mine in there. And we'll know the entire layout of the place thanks to you. My plan is working perfectly."
"Taking my daughter to the restaurant just to scope out the place was pretty underhanded, you have to admit," Guy said. "At least Maggie had fun. She's never gotten to go before."
"So, are there any security cameras we need to look out for?" Jimmy asked as they pulled down the street. "Any idea where they keep the money?"
"There's no cameras in the parking lot, but a bunch in the restaurant," Guy told them. "They're in weird places though. Give me the blue prints and I'll mark them for ya."
From the front seat, Zack pulled out the map of the restaurant that they had swiped the week before and handed it back to him without turning around. As Guy began marking out the locations of all the cameras with Buddy looking over his shoulder, Jimmy stopped the car at a red light, looking left to right to make sure no one was around and turned the car away from their destination. A dark alley appeared ahead and Jimmy drove the car down it, making sure that it was away from any light. Zack pushed a button that turned on the overhead light and they sat in silence as Guy continued to mark the cameras. Finally, he passed the map forward for the others to see.
"Well, it looks like we have a couple of blind spots to work with," Zack said, smiling with satisfaction. "There's a security office, but I don't think that will be a problem. They don't even have a camera pointing at the entrance! This is going to be a cake walk!"
"I wonder why nobody's tried to rob the place before," Buddy noted.
"We can't afford to be careless though," Jimmy pointed out. "Just because their security sucks don't mean that we can't take this seriously, you know."
"Yeah, yeah," Zack grumbled. "Let's just get ready."
Jimmy turned off the car and they quickly pulled on their masks and hopped out of the car. There wasn't a single other person around as they moved back down the alley. It seemed that everything was on their side that night because there wasn't a soul anywhere near their target. They waited for a moment as Zack looked down at his watch.
"All right," he said in a whisper as if he was afraid someone would hear him. "It's half past midnight. Let's do this." And they made their way across the parking lot to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
Well, there's the first chapter. How do you like it? Love it? Hate it? Want me to die? Let me know with a review. Hopefully something more exciting will happen next chapter, so look forward to it. And hopefully I'll have the next chapter coming soon.
Anyone want to guess who's going to die and who's going to live? Well, the only way to find out is to read and review, so get to it!
