I'm getting ready for my night shift at the Pizzaplex when my work phone starts to ring. I finish putting my hair into its typical ponytail, then take my phone off of its charger. It's an unknown number, but it's not marked as spam, so I answer it. It's probably another parent whose child has gone missing. That's what it usually is when it's an unknown number.

I accept the call and put my phone to my ear. "Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, this is the Security Office. You're speaking to Head Security Officer Vanessa, how may I assist you?" I ask habitually.

"Vanessa, it's Noah!" Mike's boyfriend's voice says on the other end.

"Shit," I mutter. "Did one of Mike's kids go missing?"

"What? No! They're all in bed right now." He sighs. He sounds so nervous. "It's Michael. He... He ran away, and I need to find him before he's taken away. H-He f-for-forgot his Illusion Disc."

"Oh, jeez," I whisper as he stifles a sob. "How can I help?"

"C-Could you watch Mike's kids? And my kid, too?"

"You have a kid?"

"Y-Yeah. I adopted her about a month ago. But I must warn you, she's Dea and uses sign language. Addie knows enough to get the point across, but EC and Allison are still learning."

"I know sign language. Don't worry. Mike had me take ASL lessons at the nearby college a few weeks after I started working at the Pizzaplex since Deaf people go there all of the time, whether it be a kid or a kid's parents."

"Thank you so much, Vanessa. I'll see you soon!"

"See you."
