Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 4

Saphira looked at the screens curiously, she had been sitting here for a whole hour and she was finally able to spot the animatronics. She had not been actively looking for them simply because she was too nervous to. She found Monty first in Rockstar Row, he had just finished playing his guitar and was farewelling the kids and adults that were there. And he was huge! She was not even there to see that, he was taller than the adults around him and she could see the claws he currently had. She did not even know why he needed new claws, and it frightened her. He was green all over with spots on his legs to make it seem like he had pants on with a yellow chest plate, purple feet, the palm of his hands were purple and he had purple shoulder pads, and while he was being friendly to all the kids with his sunglasses covering his eyes, the fact he was towering above everyone was just making her shudder. Maybe he was a nice robot, but Saphira did not know how safe she would feel about him. In fact, she was staring at the monitor when she was startled by movement in one of the other cameras. She switched the view quickly to the lobby, she justed missed the top of a black hat someone was wearing. She knew Freddy wore one, and she could not help but wonder what he looked like. The golden statue at the front gave her an idea, but to meet him in person...she shakes her head.

She turned away from the monitors and rubbed her eyes gently, she needed to not be so worried. It seemed so foolish, these things were things kids loved and here she was being scared of them. She sipped more of the coffee she had made with the coffee machine and glanced at the time. It was nine-thirty and people was starting to leave the building to head home. That was good, it was becoming less crowded and now came the time to start keeping a closer eye on all the visitors to make sure they were going home. She saw parents leaving the daycare with crying kids who seemed to be having tantrums, a couple kids trying to hide in the atrium and even a few adults in the Shy Foxette were a little tipsy. Okay, Saphira grabbed her flashlight and placed it in her belt before leaving the room. She made her way up to the third floor and approached the entry to the Shy Foxette. The image on the wall was a white Foxy figure with golden cheeks and eyes, the character was holding a Japanese fan over her snout with half closed, suggestive eyes. She rolled her eyes, this was a strange image to have here even if most kids overlooked it.

As she entered the bar, she looked around to see it was a dark space with many neon lights on the roof creating floral patterns. People were walking past her happily, and she spotted one of the women who was refusing to leave the facility. She noticed at the bar there were bots serving the drinks, they were refusing to serve her more as they were scanning her and knew she was tipsy.

"You have had enough, time to go home," Said one of the bots in a monotone tone.

"Oh come on! One more drink!" The woman pressured, leaning on the counter and stretching her glass over. "I want one more!"

"Ma'am." The woman jumped and turned in shock when someone spoke to her directly. Her shaky, blue eyes met Saphira's green eyes. "I believe you have had enough to drink. I think you should go to the next bar."

The woman frowned and placed her hands on her hips with a scoff. "And just who do you think you are telling me I have to leave?! My husband and son are here! They will be furious if you make me leave."

"Right..." Saphira moved her wrist up and pressed a few buttons on her Fazwatch. "Your name is Jane Simons, right? Your husband James and son Aiden are currently at the lobby waiting for you." The woman widened her eyes as she was bewildered Saphira found their profiles. "I am the night guard ma'am, please leave the facility. I would prefer if we do not get law enforement involved."

"Security guard?" The woman started to laugh in a mocking tone loudly. "You can't be serious. You, a girl, a night guard? That is a great joke!" She continued to laugh loudly and the other guests began to leave more quickly while giving her dirty looks. "Why are you all looking at me like that? She can't do her job properly!" Jane lifts her hand and points her finger at her chest. "Now listen here..."
