The Soul Speaker (Five Night at Freddy's)

20) Confirmation

Jazz POV

My plan has started and the nice kids souls have spread out in groups to search for Vanny. And as for me, did I check the entire Raceway before meeting up with the others to inform them about my plan. At first I was against it, but the promise to the kids about telling the animatronics of their exist, have changed my mind. I just needed to be caution in what I tell them. Like I can't tell them Gregory is a soul trapped inside an endoskeleton and became who he is today. But that part has made me think about the small name Gregory mumbled in his sleep. Michael. If I remember correct for my investigation, is that the oldest Afton sibling. That memory file I saw, about someone grabbing Gregory, must have been Michael. The old newspapir i read in the library, said the big brother of the victim, cried in tears of regret and wished for his brothers recovery, but sadly, died the victim in the hospital. There is no doubt that the older brother, was Michael.

''I am slowly getting a headache.'' I mumble to myself and exit the Raceway to meet the others at the main stage. I am the first one to arrive at the stage and after waiting for about five minutes, arrive the others one by one. ''Alright. Any updates?''

''None.'' Answer Roxy right away.

''Nothing either.'' Answer Monty.

''I didn't find anything unusual.'' Answer Chica and take a seat at the edge of the stage, just like me.

''Same here.'' Says Freddy and Bonnie at the same time. And Foxy just shook his head with crossed arms.

''I haven't found anything related to Vanny. But I did something else.'' I inform them and take a deep breath to be more confident. The animatronics turn their attention towards me. ''Before the grand reopening, when we where having fun around the Pizza Plex, did I see a small girl in Roxy Raceway and I immediately concluded that it was a ghost. A soul of a child. That is why I wanted to check the Raceway, cause I wanted to find this child and I did find her, along with her friends.''

''There are children trapped here?'' Ask Chica shocked of the news.

''Souls, to be specific.'' I correct her with a small nod. ''They are trapped here and I am trying to figure out why and help them rest in peace. There is five kids and a puppy soul and they are a bit scared of animatronics, so if your senses starts and you see nothing, then it is probably the ghosts walking around, cause I promised them, that they are permitten to walk around and play, in change of helping look for Vanny.''  I paused and watch the animatronics for their reaction. They seems to be a little surprised by this, but keep their impression in check. ''For now, go back to your Green Rooms and higher up your sensitivity to any noise and turn up your sight, so you can see anything, even in the darkest corner. The moment you are in, call me so I can lock the doors to keep you safe, just in case. I will go down to the trash and check. There is one exit to the outside down there, so I have to check it. It is the big doors for the garbage truck to collect our trash for the day.''

''Are you sure? One of us can go with you for protection.'' Suggest Freddy, being a little worried for my safe keeping.

''Don't worry, big guy. I am always prepared.'' I ensure him and pull out an expandable baton from my pocket. ''These things can really do some damage, when hit in the right spots.''

''You are the boss.'' Agree Freddy with a small nod and turn to walk through backstage to get to Rockstar Row. The other animatronics follow suit, but some of them wished me good luck and be careful. They sure a sweet animatronics, so the kid souls doesn't have to be afraid of them.

*Time skip*

I look at the trash compactor and take a deep breath before entering it. I just activated it, so that the big doors will be open right after the compactor did its thing, so I had to be quick. I let myself slide down the trash all the way to the bottom. I grinch at the smell, but quickly ignore it and activate my strong flashlight to better see, cause it is dark with only cheap light here and there. I check the entire area before going further. I checked everything. The walls, floor, roof, even the ventilation and sewer, but nothing shows anything unusual. 

''Has Vanny always been in here this entire time?'' I wondered to myself right as I finish checking the next area and go through the tunnels towards the outside exit. ''Even during the fire?''

''Security. Security.'' Chirped a staff bot that shined its light at me. I rolled my eyes and press a button on my Fazwatch, making it stop and continue its work. I placed these bots here, just for safety, along with the laundry room, delivery area, basically everywhere except for the atrium, where the animatronics can walk around and be the security.

''Well, if that is the case, then I just need to find her hideout and capture her before she hurt anyone in the name of that weasel.'' I mumble to myself and go for the stairs to get back to the Pizza Plex, when I suddenly feel a pull in my soul, making me pause. I slowly turn around to look at a piled of rumbles. Not everything in this place has been cleaned for the rumbles after the incident, but something is pulling me towards it. And knowing my guts and my many years with souls, do I trust my instinct. I walk over to the rumbles and carefully remove one by one, until I see a passage on the other side. I slightly gasped, but quickly turn my attention to make the hole bigger for me to crawl through. When I fully get through, do I raise my guard up and walk with caution down the dusty hallway, even up some catwalk. I memorize everything, so that I can inform Simon about this, then reach a big door. Before I open it, do I lean my ears to it, to listen for any movement or talking, but it is quite, so I slowly open the door and get in. Thanks to my light can I see this weird room, but what is inside, makes me doubtful of what to say. The entire room is filled with sticky notes. Some are still on the walls, but most are on the ground. I look through each notes and see scrappy drawing and a few is slight better. Then there is lines counting to seven and either three text or drawing on one sticky note. ''Th-These... are the same... as Gregory's memories.''

''Jazz? Where *Yawn* are you?'' I hear Gregory's little voice through the Fazwatch, making me turn back to reality.

''Don't worry sweety.'' I quickly say and walk further into the room, taking everything in. ''Just go back to sleep. I am just doing some... software updates.'' I take out my phone to record this room, cause I know Simon won't believe me without proof and this need a further investigation. I then spot some stair that go high up, so I start going up. But something caught my eye. A platform and some staff robot parts. ''One, two, three, four... Five robots... The Afton family. This is defiantly where Gregory came from... How do I tell him the truth?''
