The Soul Speaker (Five Night at Freddy's)

37) Missing

Jazz POV

I walk down the many flights of stairs, ready to fight Vanny, but also ready for the worst. Before I saw Gregory, staring blankly at the stairs, have I picked up a metal pipe to use as defending tool. Just in case. And I don't care if I did some serious damage that will result in hospitalizing. I take the remaining flight with the pipe ready, when I reach a certain level, which has defiantly changed. A floor with a table and a couple of seats. Last time I saw this, where there some broken staff bots, that is supposed to be the Afton family, but they aren't there now. Instead, is there only one dusty covered staff bot, standing at the end of the table with a sign in its hands.

''You are too late.''

I read the sign three time and starts to slightly panic. With that, I speed down the remaining stairs to the semi covered sticky noted room. The room where I discovered Gregory's true identity. I ignore the sticky notes and go for the door, to see if they are closed shut. You would need three keys in order to open the door. And because it is so thick, can't you break it or the wall down to get through. This would mean, that if the door is locked, then Vanny isn't at the garbage section.

''*Snore*'' I paused at my step, when I hear that small snoring noise from behind. I look over my shoulder and try to spot the person sleeping, but doesn't see anything other than sticky notes or a box... Wait? A box? I carefully walk over to the box and listen for more snoring.

''Hello? Wake up.'' I carefully call out and slowly lift up the box. To my surprise, is the snoring coming from a sleeping boy. The boy Gregory called out for, through the Fazwatch, and he is sleeping without a care, like he has been drugged... The sleeping candy? I immediately check the door right away, and luckily is it closed. No sign of a breach. I sighed in relief and walk back to the boy, to pick him up, cradling in my arms and then walk right back up the stairs. ''Attention all staff members. The boy has been located and is on his way back to mother. Where can I find her?''

''She is by the stage.'' I hear a respond, which was actually real quick.

''Understood. Please guide her to Salad and Sides. We will be there in five minutes.'' I respond back and rub the back of the kid, to make him sleep more comfortable. When I get to the end of the stairs, don't I see Gregory, which mean he must be with Simon right now, as I instructed him to. With Vanny being loose in the Pizza Plex, can't I have Gregory, or any of the guests, be in danger. After delivering this boy, will I talk to Simon about the ghosts find and investigate the suspicious tunnel. With luck, can I capture Vanny and end this madness of Freddy Fazbear Entertainment.

''My little William.'' I hear the mother say with joy, right as I exit the food corner staff door.

''He must had some kind of sugar rush or was so tired, that he needed a nap.'' I suggest for a reason why he suddenly vanish, but don't mention that a psycho rabbit killer did this to him. ''But, we will give you and your son a free entry pass and meal for your next visit, in hope to let by gone be by gone. For now, can you let little William sleep at the Day Care and get a free plushy of your choice.''

''Thank you.'' Says the mother with a nod and gave me a spathic smile. When she walks towards the elevator, do I register her apology presents to the system, then go towards the main security room to talk with Simon. On the way, do I notice the mood and keep an eye out for anything suspicious, but luckily see none. And Rockstar Row is doing just fine.

''Mrs. Jaqueline.'' Greet some of the security guards in the room. I just wave back and look around for Simon and Gregory... But they are not here.

''Where is Simon and Gregory?'' I ask a guard, staying calm on the outside, but worried on the inside. Gregory kind of had a meltdown, when I found him by the stairs, so I am worried for him.

''Mr. Plier is in his office and the kid might be with Freddy.'' Answer the guard and look through the monitors.

''Alright. Thank you.'' I thanked the guard and leave the office, then speed walk to Simon's office. I burst the doors open with a loud bang, not caring if he had any visitors. Simon jumped on his chairs and look away from the papers.

''Jazz, what the hell?'' Shout Simon annoyed, but I ignore him and look around.

''Where is Gregory. Why weren't you two at the security office?'' I ask back a bit harsh, but that is because I am worried. For being my best friend for years, could Simon see the panic in my eyes and stood up from his chair.

''I don't know where he is or what you are talking about.'' Inform Simon calmly, which just makes me more worried.

''No, no, no, nooo.'' I mumble to myself and immediately know the answer to this. Gregory is missing. More specifically, kidnapped by none other than Vanny.

''Jaqueline. Tell me what happened?'' Demand Simon serious, because he used my full name. He grabs my shoulder so I wouldn't move into action without a word.

''Okay, okay, okay... *Sigh* Before the Halloween act started, did one of the ghosts come to me and showed me something. There is a tunnel underneath the Pizza Plex, near the heat generators, in a fucking secret room. I haven't explored it, because Gregory called about the missing boy. I then found Gregory by the stairs outside of laundry and told him to find you and be in security office, while I checked the stairs. He wasn't there when I came back up or in the security office.''

''Wait, there is a secret room in this building? And there is a dig up tunnel?'' Ask Simon shocked of that information. Out of pure fear for Gregory's safety, I slap Simon in the face.

''Concentrate.'' I shout at him and point a finger at him. ''Gregory has been kidnapped by Vanny. I need to find him, while you make sure everything up here goes as planned, then close the Pizza Plex for the weekend.''

''And letting you get killed? No way.'' Denied Simon firmly.

''I don't care. Gregory is my child, so I have to find him.'' I argue back and turn towards the doors I just entered.

''Why are you so hyped about? There is something you aren't telling me.'' Asked Simon and get in front of me.

''You have noticed it too. Gregory is being a bit odd, the moment he saw the families to this Halloween party.'' I remind him about the time we ate together. ''He most have triggered a memory of his past... The time he lost his life.''

''The bit of 83.'' Mumble Simon, realising what I am talking about.

''Because of that, he must have these nostalgia feelings here and there. Heck, I even found him staring at the stairs, before I went down. He was defiantly remembering or feeling something at that time.'' I theorized as my volume gets louder and louder. Simon immediately frown and grab my shoulders again.

''Snap-out-of-it.'' Scold Simon and shake me back and forth. He then stopped and take a deep breath and talk with a more calm voice. ''WE will find him. The party ends at 9 pm, after that, will the two of us and the animatronics, search for him. Right now, you need to calm down and get more information on Vanny's current location. Find the ghosts and talk to them.''

''... Okay... Okay, yeah, good idea... Vanny might not hurt him, but just kidnap him for something. Something big.'' I slowly say and take deep breaths to calm myself down. Simon sighed in relief and give me a quick hug.

''Exactly. So go find those ghosts and I will take care of the rest. We will meet at Rockstar Row at 9.30 pm.'' Order Simon and let me go. I just nodded and walk calmly out of the office. The only place I can think of, in order to find them, is at Roxy Raceway.

''Don't worry, Gregory. Your family will find you.''
