Broken Wills ("Save Her" Remake)

Chapter 4

Will sat in his room, looking back and forth from his clock to his uniform.

11:15

He sighed, before changing into his uniform and getting ready for his walk to work.

11:30

Grabbing a cup of coffee, he walked downstairs and grabbed a cup of coffee, his father sitting in the kitchen. While he sipped the coffee, his father shifted in his chair. He looked up at Will and sighed.

"Could you do me a favor tonight?"

Will took a sip of his coffee, not even looking up. "Sure. What do you need now?"

His dad lowered his head, seeming uncomfortable. "That new animatronic I've been working on arrived at the Pizzeria today...I was wondering if you could possibly make sure nothing happens to it while they set it up?"

Will rolled his eyes. "I suppose. What's in it for me?"

Henry looked behind him and sighed. "Just trust me. This one is special...it's purpose is a unique one."

That's what he always says.

I know.

"Fine. But I'm not staying for much longer afterwards."

"Alright. That's fair."

Will looked at the clock and spit out his coffee.

11:45

"Shit, I gotta go. See ya when I get home."

Will ran out the door, ignoring his dad telling him to mind his language.

11:57

Will sat in his office chair, watching the cams. He had three minutes until his shift, and he wanted to find that new animatronic. He noticed a new camera location, and when he opened it there was a large crate sitting on the stage.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Will just stared at it.

"Ah...hello, hello! Uh, see, I told you your first night wouldn't be a problem. You're a natural!"

Oh yes, a real natural.

Sarcasm alert!

"Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room. Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick should work on them too, so, whatever."

I kinda liked those old animatronics.

But I don't remember them smelling that bad, do you?

"Uh...heh...I love those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the pirate? Oh wait, hold on...oh yeah, Foxy. Uh, hey listen, that one was always a bit twitchy, uh...I'm not sure the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy, uh. If for some reason he activates during the night and you see him standing at the far end of the hall, just flash your light at him from time to time. Those older models would always get disoriented with bright lights. It would cause a system restart, or something. Uh, come to think of it, you might want to try that on any room where something undesirable might be. It might hold them in place for a few seconds. That glitch might be in some of the newer models too."

Oh boy...of course it'll be Foxy.

What's wrong with Foxy?

Nothing. He's just creepy.
