Broken Record

[33]

"When I woke up I was in the hospital." Pj finished, looking down at the ground. "Lot of blood was lost and apparently my blood type is AB negative, though I thought it was B positive."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Freddy asked.

"Cause I didn't know what my blood type was." He said, confused.

The bear facepalmed, "No, about what happened."

"Oh." The male realized what he meant.

"I did tell them!" He answered, balling his hands into fists. "And you wanna know what they said? That I was delusional!"

"That I had finally snapped."

He froze staring at the ground for a few seconds before shaking his head. "Anyway, once I came back that's when they showed up again."

"They had me dismantle Bonnie for parts, though I don't know the reason as to why."

"Honestly they really only had me do two things and that was it."

Freddy glanced over at Vanessa who shared a look back. She nodded, understanding.

"Do you remember what they look like?" She asked.

He shook his head, "My memory is fuzzy, but I think it was a rabbit."

"Vanny." The bear said, "it had to be her."

Pj looked between them with a confused expression on his face. "Who?"

"A reluctant follower." She answered, looking down at the ground.

The male was going to ask what that meant, but kept his mouth shut. He could tell that something was wrong.

"I knew something was off about you, I just didn't want to believe it." He blurted out nonchalantly.

"Huh?" She looked over at him. "What do you mean?"

"When I first met you, you were nice, but you seemed annoyed especially when I started doing maintenance at night."

"Now it makes sense, it was interfering with Vanny's plan, another reason she wanted to get rid of me then decided not to."

"Vanny?" A voice spoke.

They turned to see Fonso standing there. "Hey, I thought I told you to leave." Pj raised a brow at him, crossing his arms. "Were you eavesdropping?"

The bot looked down at the ground, ashamed. "I'm sorry, I was worried that something bad would happen."

"But then I heard that name and I remembered something."

His eyes met theirs as he spoke, "She's the one who tampered with my memory."

"Are you sure?"

He nodded, "Yeah, she's the one who did this to me."

The male frowned, "No, the damage that was done to you was someone else and another person tried to fix it, but did a terrible job."

"That's why I went in and straightened everything out."

"Oh." Fonso said, understanding.

"Pj, what was the other thing Vanny had you do?" Freddy asked.

Pj shut his eyes and tapped his foot. "Um…"
He tapped his forehead as he contemplated.

His eyes opened. "I actually can't recall what it was."

"I don't have a great memory, well that's a lie." He crossed his arms.

"I do, but for some reason I can't remember. I must've been sleep deprived." Shrugging, he glanced over at the wall.
