FNAF: Alternate Timeline

Chapter 6

Location: Ace's Home Office, late afternoon

Ace: (sitting at his desk, deep in thought as he reviews lines of code on his computer, trying to find a pattern or hint about the intruder. His phone rings and he glances at the caller ID before answering)

Henry, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Location: Henry's Home, living room

Henry: Ace, listen, something's happened. My home security system was breached.

(Back to Ace's Office)

Ace: (sits upright, instantly alert) What? Are you and Hazel okay?

Henry: We're fine, but it's not that simple. Whoever it was, they broke into my home network and stole some digital blueprints.

Location: William's Office, at the same time

William: (gets a text notification on his phone. He opens it and sees a message from Ace: "Emergency. Call me.")

(He quickly dials Ace's number and is immediately put on speaker)

William: Ace, what's going on?

(Back to Ace's Office)

Ace: Henry's on the line. His home security was breached. Someone stole digital blueprints from him.

Henry: I don't even know what they were for. I have so many project files, and my focus was mainly on securing the physical premises and not so much the digital aspect.

William: That's not good. This could be connected to the unauthorized code we found.

Ace: (pauses) Do you have any backups, Henry? Any way to identify what was taken?

Henry: I can find out what's missing, but it's going to take some time to go through all the backup logs. I hadn't thought anyone would go this far.

Ace: Start now. The sooner we know what's taken, the sooner we can figure out what they're planning.

Henry: On it. Hazel's helping me sift through the logs. I'll call you the moment we find something.

William: Keep your eyes open, Henry. We don't know who we're dealing with, and if it's the same person who's been tampering with our systems, they're not amateurs.

Henry: Trust me, I've already increased our security measures tenfold. Whoever it is won't get a second chance.

Ace: Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Stay safe, Henry. Keep us posted.

Henry: Will do. Bye for now.

(The call ends, and Ace and William are left contemplating the severity of the situation)

Ace: This just got a lot more complicated.

William: And a lot more dangerous. We need to put an end to this, Ace, before anyone else gets hurt or loses valuable information.

Ace: I couldn't agree more. We're running out of time, and the pieces are still not coming together. We need to solve this puzzle and unmask this intruder.

William: And we will. They've made the mistake of messing with people who don't take threats lightly.

As they end the call, both men can't shake the feeling that they're on the cusp of something big—something that ties their past to the present in ways they never imagined. The intruder has challenged them in their own domain, and it's a challenge they cannot afford to lose.
