"Will I asked if you are okay!", a ginger man said.
"Well who wouldn't be after their youngest has just been murdered! Fuck, Henry what do you expect?!", William yelled.
"Look, it just always seemed to me like you didn't really care about Evan, Liz or Mike.", Henry answered and regretted it instantly.
William looked him dead in the eye.
"So you're saying I'm a bad father?"
"No!"
"But that's what you were implying. For God's sake why can't you just leave me the fuck alone for now!", William yelled.
Henry was hurt.
"So much for trying to help. You know what, at least I still have Charlie! And a wife! Heck, Liz doesn't even like you anymore and Mike despises you!", Henry shouted.
William looked at him in horror.
"Will, I..."
"Out..."
"What?!"
"I said get out! Here I thought you actually cared about me but no, all you ever want is your selfish ass to be alright and be real here, the only reason you had me as your 'friend' is because you didn't wanna run the diner alone!", William yelled in frustration.
He was frustrated because he couldn't keep his tears away.
He was usually so calm and able to hide anything he wanted to but just this once he couldn't.
"William I'm sorry!", Henry apologized. It hurt him to see William like that.
"Then you should have thought about what you say before actually doing it.", William answered.
Since it didn't look like Henry was going to leave William got up, walked out the door and slammed it shut behind him.
It was almost 9 pm.
He grabbed his car keys and left the house. He drove around for a while before coming to a halt at a bar.
'It couldn't hurt getting just a little drunk.. Could it? No. Nothings worse than Evan' s death. ', William thought to himself.
He entered the bar after carefully locking his vehicle.
There were dancing young adults everywhere.
He sighed and walked up to the bar counter.
"How can I help you?", the man asked.
"I'd like 10 shots please.", William said. "Sir, are you sure? That's a lot of alcohol.", the man asked.
"Yes I am. Now if you would."
"Of course."
The man went and grabbed a few glasses before filling each on with tiquila. He put them in front of William. "Enjoy your drinks sir.", the man said before going back to washing a few glasses.
William drank about 4 shots when he realised that he needed to go to the bathroom really quick. Against his better judgment he left his drinks unsupervised.
When he came back, he sat down to drink.
A few men looked at him with weird grins.
Just as he had downed the last shot he realised what they were smiling about.
"Shit.", he muttered to himself.
He felt himself feeling dizzy and quickly walked out the bar.
He made his way around a corner and tried to somehow throw up to get the drinks out of his system.
Just then the men from before stood behind him.
"You know what to do boys.", one of them said.
William felt himself being shoved and landed hard on the concrete floor.
The men started kicking him mercilessly.
William was unable to do anything but endure it all.
He felt himself going unconscious.
The men laughed, grabbed his purse and keys and ran off.
William just payed there, face facing the concrete floor, feeling nothing but pain until he finally went completely unconscious.
-
3 hours later Henry was worried sick. William hadn't returned yet, nor had he reacted to any call.
Suddenly his phone pinged.
He opened it and gasped. One of the workers had mentioned him under a video. It was a video where some guys put stuff into a person's drinks and as the person came back, he recognized that it was William. The video had a cut there and the next clip started.
It was a video of them beating up Will and taking his stuff.
He recognized where the video was taken and rushed to his car.
Liz and Mike were asleep so he didn't have to worry about them thrashing the house.
He started the engine and drove to the bar. He didn't care that he was too fast. As he reached the bar, he got out of the car and rushed around the bar to look for William.
He found him laying on the ground.
"Oh God Will!", he shouted.
He ran over to his friend.
He didn't react to anything. That was until Henry grabbed him by the shoulders to turn him around and William grunted in pain.
With horror, Henry noticed the completely dilated and expanded pupils. 'Those assholes drugged him!' Henry thought to himself.
"Will. Will can you hear me?", he asked. William let out another grunt as a sign of him hearing Henry.
Henry carefully placed William to lean against the wall.
Will had his hands on his hips and seemed like he was in severe pain. Henry carefully unbuttoned Williams shirt and gasped as he saw the bruises on his hips.
He carefully turned William just enough so he could take a look at his back. William tried protesting.
"William I'm trying to help you!", Henry said angrily.
"No. Don't.", William finally spoke.
His voice was weak.
"Ugh fine. Then I'm getting you to a hospital.", Henry said and that he did.
-
Time seemed to go by slowly as he was sitting on a chair in front of William's room in the hospital.
Finally the doctor came outside.
"Mr Emily. Your friend has severe scarring on his back along with some really nasty looking bruises. He doesn't have a concussion though we did a drug test. He was given an overdose. It wasn't aimed to kill him, just to have him out as quickly as possible. The scaring appears to be many years old. As far as I could see it's most likely from his childhood.
We also discovered something during a test to see if he has a concussion or not. ", the doctor spoke.
" What is it that you found? ", Henry said, his voice cracked.
" Well, his brain works way more actively than it normally should. Normally such a high activity would cause it to stop working. There's a reason the human can't use 100% of the brain. Never even once in history have we seen someone with such a high funktioning brain.
We've made medics for that and tested it on animals a few years ago but as all tests resulted in death we didn't look at it further. ", the doctor said." You're saying it could be possible that someone gave the medics to him? ", Henry asked shocked. " Indeed. In case you want to know who the lead doc was to supervise the experiments. It was doctor Oliver Afton. ", the doctor continued.
"Oliver... Afton...?", Henry asked with a shaky voice.
"Yes? What about him.?"
"The man you're talking about, is the father of my friend. The one you just told me had a high funktioning brain like no other human brain ever did!",Henry said in shock.
"Are you saying that there's a possibility that Mr Afton gave his son the medics... That he experimented on his own son?", the doctor asked.
"Positive. William was always shy as a kid and never spoke around his father. I'm sure that the scarring are caused by Oliver as well.", Henry said.
"You do know that those are some heavy accusations you're making sir..?", the doctor asked and Henry just nodded.
"Either way. We gave Mr Afton pain killers. You can go see him. He should be awake...", the doctor spoke and left.
Henry entered the room of William.
William just layed the, a blank expression on his face.
"Will..?"
William didn't turn to look at him.
"William I'm sorry about what I said! Please believe me!", Henry pleaded.
"It's not about what you said.... It's about what I did.. I lied to you all these years. I heard your conversation with the doctor. Your accusation is correct.. Have you never asked yourself why I'm basically not afraid of anything aside from sudden movement or syringes? ", William asked. "I did... ", Henry answered.
"Henry I did something terrible. And I wanted to do something even worse..." William cried out.
"You can tell me.", Henry spoke.
"If... If I had gone through with what my urges wanted me to do.... If I had done that, Charlotte would be dead. Henry... Those missing kids are in the animatronics... I-I killed them! I didn't want to! My body did it on its own after Evan's death and the divorce!"William looked into the empty eyes of Henry.
Henry was terribly mad at William for doing such things to children. For wanting to do the same to his daughter.
" You what?! So you're the one who made the kids disappear?! You're a monster! You-", Henry stopped selling when he saw the expression of terror on William's face.
William had his hands pressed against his ears, tears once again running down his face.
Henry suddenly felt bad. He started walking towards William who flinched and tried to get away from Henry. "Stay away! Don't touch me!"  William yelled.
Henry felt bad. How could he blame William? William said himself that his body acted upon those urges without him wanting too. Whatever those medics were he was given as a child, those were probably the reason he acted like that.
Not to forget that ever since the children had gone missing William couldn't eat a lot or sleep well.
William was just sitting there on the bed, shaking.
The door opened and the police came in. "What is happening?!", Henry asked.
"We heard the conversation. We just wanted to tell that Oliver had a lab in his basement where we found a serum. The serum that was apparently used on him when we heard him saying that he killed those kids.", one of the policemen said.
"You can't arrest him! It's not even his fault!", Henry said.
"We very much can. It's either going to prison or into a psychiatry.", the coworker of the policeman said.
She walked forward and took the handcuffs off her belt.
William looked absolutely terrified.
She grabbed him roughly and forced him to lay down facing the bed.
" Hey stop that! Can't you see he's terrified?! ", Henry asked angrily.
"Sorry, but no exceptions for hospital patients. Not if they are murderers.", she said.
William whimpered in pain at how tight she made the cuffs.
Henry walked over and pushed the officer away from William.
"Don't. Touch. Him.", he said with warning tone..
William turned his head around and recognized the male officer. It was the parent of one of the children.
He tried sitting up but his every move hurt.
Just the the doctor came in.
"What's going on?!", he asked.
"These officers are trying to arrest William for something that's not his fault!", Henry shouted.
"Can you show me your badges?"  the doctor said.
The two officers looked at eachother shocked.
"Sir, I don't think that's necessary. We are just doing our job.", one of them spoke. "If you really were police officers you would know that the police doesn't come without telling us first and isn't allowed to arrest patients.
" Henry... That guy is the father of one of the children... ", William whispered.
Henry was furious.
" Trying to avenge your little one eh?", Henry asked.
The male turned around.
"What are you saying?!", he asked.
"My friend recognized you. You're one of the parents of the missing children. Tell me, what were you really planning to do to him?!", Henry asked.
"Fine! I was planning to do the same he did to poor Susie! He killed her without any remorse!", he yelled.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that.", the doctor said.
"Upon further investigation I found out that his son died and his wife had divorced him before the missing children event.
Now. I know that he killed them as he was the only one working at the diner that day. But he's not at fault for anything he's done after his child's death and the divorce.
He has a medical reason on why he did that and I doubt that he even wanted to kill your child. Now if you two would come with me. I have to call the police to arrest you. "the doctor said.
They left and Henry helped William to get rid of the cuffs.

Damn. That was one hell of a oneshot. Way too messy. I apologize for the many different events in this one. My first oneshot in a book always tends to be weird and over all way too dramatic. Now, I work with different au's and I know William might seem like a softy in this one but he really isn't. There's just 2 different outcomes after trauma. 1 being the psycho Will we all know and love and the other one is him being a little sensitive here and there, depending on the topic.
Have fun reading the next oneshot, only if you want to though.
