They had barely driven into the Pizzaplex parking lot when Vanessa got a call. She picked it up and a coworker started rambling on about how everything was in shambles.
"Seriously Ness the animatronics went crazy last night! You must have had a hell of a shift."
"Believe me you have no idea."
"The higher ups are offering brownie points and overpay to anyone willing to come in and help clean up. The maintenance was only scheduled to last for two or three days but we're looking at a week of repairs unless it's all hands on deck and if we don't open on schedule-"
"People start getting layed off I know. I'm on my way I'll be in in a minute."
"Alright see you in a bit!" Vanessa put her phone back down. "Okay kid. Change of plans. If it's all hands on deck then there's no way that you'll be able to stay hidden."
"Then what are we gonna do?!" No no no no no this couldn't be happening.
"You're going to have to stay at my house for however long this takes. I can pass you off as my nephew and you can hang around today but you have to come home with me afterwards." Gregory tried to think of a way to argue against that, but she was right. All hand on deck meant who knows how many people roaming around the Pizzaplex checking every nook and cranny to fix damage, and they wouldn't be as easy to avoid as the security bots. No patterns to follow or flashing lights to stun them with. As much as he hated it Vanessa was right.
"Does this mean that everyone will be fixed?" Freddy's excitement traveled throughout the entire car.
"Probably. It's cheaper and faster to repair the same animatronics than develop new ones."
"... what if they come after me again." That was the big question.
"I am sure that the technicians will be able to fix whatever bug they had Gregory! It should be completely safe!"
"What if it wasn't a bug?"
"Well you're not wrong kid. The last couple of years are... foggy when he was at the helm but I know that he was the one who made those three glitch out." Gregory wasn't expecting that.
"Him?" Realization dawned on Vanessa's face.
"You don't know who I'm talking about. Okay, fuck, that's a discussion for later on. Right now we have to head in. Gregory, take the bag and put Freddy back in it. Looks like we're smuggling him in. If anyone asks your last name is say that it's Abernathey. Your parents are named Amelia and Wendy. Wendy is my sister, okay?" Gregory nodded.
"Got it." They got out of the car and started walking inside.
The Pizzaplex was almost exactly as they left it. Trash scattered everywhere from Chica, oil and scrapes all over the floor from the animatronics running, and everything else. It was almost comforting in a weird way. Someone jogged over once they saw Vanessa.
"Ness! That was fast! Oh, who's this?" Apparently it was whoever Vanessa had talked to on the phone.
"Hey Sammy, this is my nephew. I was picking him up when you called and didn't have time to get anyone else to watch him." Sammy bent down to be more at his level.
"Hello Vanessa's nephew! I'm Samantha but you can call me Sammy, I use she/they pronouns." She held her hand out and Gregory shook it.
"I'm Gregory. He/him."
"Alright! Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get you set up somewhere for the day while we work. Are you too old for the daycare?" Gregory tensed up. The sunny daycare attendant had been fine but... He crawled through the cramped play structure, desperately following the wire to the next generator. The moon animatronic laughed from just outside the structure-
"I'm way too old. I'm eleven." Sammy laughed.
"I figured. Maybe you can watch us fix the animatronics! Whatever went down last night was intense."
"Don't remind me Sammy. I'll meet you in Parts and Service." Vanessa gave Sammy a quick hug before ushering Gregory away. They made their way to El Chips, which was deserted, and dropped Freddy off there. Gregory didn't like it, being away from Freddy like this and surrounded by so many random people.
They made their way to Parts and Service where a all the animatronics were being worked on. Apparently safety was cast aside as Chica was the only one inside the tube. Monty's body was being stitched back together and Roxy was getting new eyes. Freddy's body was in there as well but no one was working on him. They were probably looking for his head.
"Vanessa perfect timing!" An old, balding man hurried over to them. "We need someone to teach some of the normal staff how to help fix Freddy's body. You used to be a technician right?"
"Ye-"
"Perfect! Freddy group get over here and listen to Vanessa."
No one asked questions on why Gregory was there so he spent the day sitting in Parts and Service and watching the animatronics get fixed. He even got handed a free staff lunch. This company was a mess. Good progress was made and Vanessa was allowed to leave at around four pm (Though she was told to be back at six am) and they left the Pizzaplex. She put the radio on as the drive to her apartment. It was about twenty minutes away, a small two bed one bath with the guest bedroom used for storage more than anything. They were both exhausted and somehow Gregory found himself falling asleep on a bed.
