Not Guilty // William Afton

thirty eight

Dylan's POV

"I thought you said I could find him at Freddy's? I look stupid as a grown man with no children walking into a place with happy music and kids running around everywhere. When I got there, there was only some guy named Dickson and he said he takes over when they're not there." William's father spoke to me as he watched me iron my night guard uniform.

"Maybe if you went a few days earlier he would have been there. Anyway, he's not gonna be there as often anymore. He's got this new place opening today, and I have my first shift there tonight." I shrugged my shoulders.

"What's this new place called?" He placed his hands on his hips.

"Circus Baby's Pizza World." I flipped my shirt on the ironing board.

He sighed. "It's good he wasn't there anyway. I think I'll take some more time before getting to him."

Willow's POV

"Willow! Are all the Funtime's, Circus Baby and Ballora in their positions? Are they all functioning correctly?" Henry ran into the Ballora Gallery.

I stood from the power box. "Yep! All set!"

He gave the thumbs up and ran out of the room.

Today is the grand opening of Circus Baby's. For the first hour, we will have just a bunch of important people and a news reporter follow Henry and I with a camera as we give a tour, and brief descriptions of who we are, who the new animatronics are, and what we plan for this place.

The rest of the day, we would finally have families come in and test the place out with their children.

I knocked on the door to the security room.

"Come in." A voice calmly spoke from inside.

I opened the door and leaned against the doorway, sighing as I watched him flip through the cameras. He was watching the 'important people' arrive in the parking lot.

"Are you sure you don't want to do this with us?" I asked.

William turned to me. "I'm okay. There'll be plenty of more locations I could open up in the future. Besides, live TV isn't my thing anyway."

"You don't wanna turn some lights on in here?" I looked up at the sleeping light.

"It's alright. I'll watch you guys from a screen here, you go make me proud of my creations." William spun in his spinny chair.

"Willow! Lets go!" Henry yelled from down the hall.

I chuckled. "That's me. I'll come back later."

William chuckled too. "Alright dear, I'll be right here."

I smiled and shut the door behind me. I know he wishes he could open. 

I ran down the hall and caught up with Henry. "Are they all here?"

"Yeah. They're approaching the building." Henry swung upon the front doors and walked outside. I followed behind him.

The guy with the camera hadn't had it on yet. I'm guessing he would start once we begin the tour.

"Well, what do we have here." One of the 'important' people crossed their arms.

"Hello! My name is Henry Emily, this is my partner, Willow Lister." Henry waved and shook each persons hand.

"Hello." I waved nervously.

"So this is the new.. location I heard you've all been working on. Looks good. We should flip on the camera and get started then, shall we?" An important lady with a clipboard waved her pencil at the building.
