work the next day was a handful, the gossip hit the mainstream and the cops decided to investigate. I arrived at work around 8am expecting to have a normal 12 hour shift but was met with police cars in front of the pizzeria.

I walked in and slid past the officers and went to the back of the establishment, near the backroom where the murder happened. There was a broken fire alarm there -note the only fire alarm in the back of the whole place- so i took out a cigarette and lit it. I used to only smoke on rare occasions, when life felt like it was all going to shit and the stress was too much. It seems like this feeling has been coming up more and more recently. While i was off in my own thoughts a figure put their hand on my shoulder.
"Jesus where did you come from?" I snapped.
"From the hallway." William said flatly.
I dropped my cigarette and stood on it.
"I know its not professional to smoke inside but i don't think leaving the pizzeria is a smart decision right now." I giggled while saying, maybe not the best move for the situation i was in.
"Don't laugh." His eye started to twitch.
"Mhm because this is my faul-" i was cut off by William.
"Don't you fucking say anything, you got it?"
I slowly nodded out of fear of what would happen if I disagreed.
He pinned me to the wall.
"Okay well listen. If you say anything, and i mean anything to the police that makes them think I was involved in this i will gut you like a fucking fish." The manner in which he said this was scary. He truely meant it, that was the scary part.
"Doing you understand." He inched closer.
"Mhm" i nodded out of fear.
"Good" he kissed my cheek then left.
I was left terrified for my life.

I was called in for questioning by the police. Before going into the room they chose for questioning- Henry's office- i glanced at William, he winked at me. I felt disgusted. I, of course lied to the police.
"Where were you on the night of the murder of 10 year old Susie Davies?"
"I was working, here...I was called in for an evening shift due to some electrical malfunctions that was occurring in the kitchen, so I stayed back after my day shift and fixed it. Then I left." I prayed that I sounded convincing, it was true that was the reason i stayed back that day yet, what I saw they weren't going to know.
"Was anyone else that you know of working there while you were there and or when you left?"
I hesitated, if I said William then he may become a suspect but if I didn't, who knew if he would say he was there on that night; or if Henry was going to say that.
"Yes, Henry Emily was in his office working, so was the other co-owner, William Afton. A day shift security guard was packing up when my shift started so don't know if that helps and when i left the night security guard took my place."
"Okay, do you know anything about the murder or the two missing children that have been reported?" The officer asked.
I looked down at the palms of my hands, i noticed my fingers twitching. I softened my gaze and frowned slightly,
"No, I'm sorry officer, I don't."
"Ma"am, I do need to remind you that lying about this is a criminal offence and if found guilty you will be sentenced to time in prison."
"I know, I promise I do not know anything that went down the night of her murder. I'm sorry I couldn't be any help."
"You said all you could, you may leave."
I stood up from were i was sitting and exited the room. They called in another day shift worker and so on, until everyone was done being interrogated.

After they packed up and left William approached me.
"You didn't say anythint incriminating against me right dear."
I shook my head.
"Good." He smirked.
That fucker.

Im back to posting chapters again 🎉🎉🎉
Sorry about the sabbatical, I may have gotten side-tracked but I'm back. And once this is done I'm planning to start posting chapters from a book I'm writing. A similar concept to this; psychotic love and mishaps, also is a thriller of sorts so if that sounds like it may interest you stay tuned. And don't worry, I'm planning to do more fanfics too (Miguel O'Hara x reader when?🤭)
