Sunny Days and Starry Nights

Chapter 6: Detective (Y/N)

(f/s)= Favorite subject

Instead of taking the week off, I decided it would be best to gather any information I could about Fazbear Entertainment. I had checked online sources, old newspaper clippings, and even the local library for anything remotely incriminating. There was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now you would think that would be reassuring but no; it made me even more skeptical about the company's 'clean' record.

After hours of researching, I finally decided to take a break. All that dead-end research made me hungry for some lunch. I made my way down to our kitchen only to find (S/N) sadly drawing in the living room.

"Is everything ok kiddo?" I asked them, grabbing some food.

They shrugged slightly. "I miss Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon."

"Don't worry, we'll see them again soon. It's just for a week."

(S/N) didn't respond after that, just continued to draw. I sighed and sat down to eat my food. Notifications went off on my phone from a group chat Bailey and Kevin added me to. I unlocked my phone and looked at the messages.

Kevin: How are yall holding up after what happened?

Bailey: A lil shakin up but I'll be fine! I'm more worried about (Y/N).

(Y/N): I'm fine Bails! You should worry about yourself as well :)

Bailey always had a habit of worrying about others and providing for them instead of taking care of her own needs. She's like a mother in that way.

Bailey: Yeah yeah <3

Kevin: you better Bailey! Or I will come over!

Bailey: Oh no the horror!

(Y/N): You guys are so cute together <3

I shut my phone off and let the notifications pile up. Bailey and Kevin were most likely panicking over my comment, being all flustered and denying their obvious feelings for each other. It was amusing to watch them constantly play around each other but I guess that's the fun in being the third wheel in the beginning.

I put my dirty dishes in the sink before heading back to my laptop to keep digging deeper. There had to be something, ANYTHING, that had some juicy backstory about the company. After more time being consumed by an endless rabbit hole of nothing, I came across a group on Reddit. They were dedicated to conspiracy theories that were around the company.

"I finally have a lead. Time to dig further into the hidden secrets of Fazbear entertainment."

"What are you doing (Y/n)?" I heard Mom ask from outside of my door.

"Just doing some random research about (f/s)!"

She seemed to drop the subject and continued doing whatever she was previously doing. I hope she didn't get too suspicious about what I was doing in my room. I continued scrolling through the website's theories and photos of different locations. It was all very creepy but insightful on what the company used to be.

However, what I didn't expect to find were conversation threads about the disappearances of multiple kids from a couple of locations. The mystery was apparently never solved and the company rebranded with new owners.

"Now that I think about it, the cops have been around the Pizzaplex for a while. Are kids disappearing again?"

I was about to exit the Reddit Page for the day when another thread caught my eye. The beginning title was 'Guys the new Pizzaplex was built on top of something!' Now that was interesting. I clicked on the conversation and dove further into the conspiracy theories users were suggesting, even having evidence to support certain theories. One that stood out was about what used to be under the Pizzaplex.

'After connecting the dots and the timeline, I believe a temporary Fazbear location was built but then caught on fire. I found a newspaper clipping about the fire but they never said what company it was. BUT! The new Pizzaplex location was built right on top of the ruins. I wonder what secrets lie under the neon lights.'

My mind began racing with thoughts about the chance there was an older Freddy's below the Pizzplex. Those thoughts were completely shut down once I realized I could lose my job if I ever got caught scurrying around the place at night, especially when security is pretty tight. Sighing, I shut off my laptop and went outside to take a walk.

The day was bright and warm with the sun allowing the shadows of people to appear while they walked on the concrete sidewalks, content with their lives at the moment. I joined them on the sidewalk, heading towards one of the local parks to clear my head. As I passed by one of the sewers drains I swore I could hear the sound of something metallic scraping on the walls. I continued walking, shrugging off the strange sounds like a piece of trash being where it shouldn't. After a few minutes of walking, I ended up at the public park and sat on one of the benches that faced the road. The wind was mild but the leaves on the trees would shake back and forth from time to time.

My gaze followed squirrels that ran by or the occasional bird grabbing the food that people had dropped. It didn't take long for my thoughts to come back to Fazbear Entertainment and the theories that I had found. I grabbed out my phone to start writing down everything I needed to infiltrate the place. Since I was one of the kitchen staff members, I could easily access a good percentage of the Staff Only areas. What I wrote down on my phone was a flashlight, a backpack with some snacks and water, as well as a battery pack so I could record any of the findings; if there were any. Time flew by and I was taken out of my thoughts when Mom texted me to come back for dinner.

Mom <3: Hey Honey! Make sure you make it back home safely! I have dinner prepared!

Y/N: Ok Mom! I'll be on my way

I shut off my phone before getting up from the park bench, heading towards the sidewalk to go home. I made it home in no time and opened the door to be greeted with the familiar scent of my favorite meal. Mom turned towards me as she just put the plates of food down at the table.

"Welcome home honey! I prepared your favorite meal before you head back to work tomorrow."

I smiled at her and sat down at the table. "You didn't have to do all this Mom, I could've made dinner."

"But you've been working so hard and taking care of (S/N)! This is the least I could do for my hard-working kid." She kissed my head before taking a seat across from me. (S/N) was in the middle seat, already chowing down on the food. We laughed slightly before starting to eat our dinner as well.

Dinner was picked up, dirty dishes were now clean, and it was time to go to bed. I got the investigation backpack ready before getting myself ready for bed. Everything was packed unsuspiciously so no one would question why I had a flashlight or a battery pack. With my pj's on, I turned my lights off.
