"Congratulations Kailiae!" Melody said as she ran up to me in her graduation hat.
"Congrats to you too!" I smiled. We both laughed as my mom walked up.
"Good job on getting all A's." She smiled. I laughed as I held up my work permit, ready to start my new job.
"You ready for Freddy's?" Melody asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"Dude that's just gross!" I giggled."And you know those rumors of Freddy aren't true." I giggled.
"Haha! Hey, you want to have a sleepover at my place tonight?" She asked smiling.
"Yeah, but you know I have to leave at 12 for the night shift." I said.
"Yeah. Hey, why don't you call Michael to see if you should come early?" She asked.
"Why don't we just go to the restaurant?" I asked.
"Can I come?" I heard Pat say as he ran up to us and gave Melody a hug, then me.
"Of course!" We both giggled.
"Great! So when and where are we going?" He asked. I laughed.
"You didn't just hear our conversation?" I giggled.
"No. Actually." He said laughing as well.
"We're going to FredBears. Kailiae got a job there." Melody said smiling. Pats smile automatically went dead. So did my moms.
"You didn't tell me you got a job at that place!" She fearfully whispered.
"Why? I told you I got a job." I said nonchalantly.
"You didn't hear? That place got closed down for murder." Pat said very seriously.
"What?! Even I didn't hear about this!" Melody said surprised.
"It's been all over the newspapers! How could you have not!" Mother said suddenly. Just then I felt my phone buzz.
"One sec." I halted my mother as I flipped my phone open and looked at the name,
Michael
"Hello? Michael?" I asked once I hit the answer button.
"Hey, so you might not be able to make your shift tonight." I heard a younger voice say.
"Hunter what happened over there?" I asked concerned.
"I don't know! Michael won't tell me and the police are everywhere!" I heard him say slightly scared.
"My friend just told me there was a murder!" I whisper screamed into the phone."Obviously there are police everywhere!"
"MURDER?!" He yelled into the phone."Michael what happened!" I heard him say faintly as static filled the speaker. I noted that he put it up to his chest to mute the sound. That obviously didn't work.
"I don't know who did this!"Michael yelled to Hunter."Why did this happen?!" I heard Hunter yell at Michael. He took the phone off of his chest and talked to me once more.
"I'll call you later." He said as he hung up quickly.
"I guess it's pretty bad." I said as I closed my phone and shoved it into my back pocket.
"I'm going over there to see what happened." Melody said as she walked towards my car and put her hand on the passengers handle. She motioned her head to the car looking at me as if saying,'Come On!'
I sighed as I ran after her.
After a very chatty drive to the pizzeria later, we finally arrived. I hopped out of the car and headed towards the front doors, seeing police tape everywhere. I heard a second car door close so I locked my car behind me and put my keys on my key hoop.
"I'm sorry miss, but this is a police investigation." The officer said as he held a hand out in front of me. I looked at the man as I heard a male voice behind me yell at the officer.
"Let me in that's my brother!" I heard Hunter yell as he ran towards the door but got held back by police.
"Let him and these girls in." I heard Michael say as he stood next to me.
"Yes sir." The officer said as Hunter burst through the doors and into the crime scene. I followed behind carefully, not wanting to touch any evidence and get framed like those many, many cop shows.
"NO!" I heard Hunter yell as he knelt down in front of the covered corpse, only the face being shown. I walked over and knelt down next to the small child. Tear stains imprinted on the cheeks.
"Do you know him?" I said solemnly. Melody knelt down on the other side of the child.
"Same eyes, same nose, same hair, It looks like he might be his brother." Melody said looking from down at the body to up at me.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss." I said putting a hand on Hunters shoulder. I looked into his green eyes as he looked into my purple ones.
"It's okay. You couldn't have done anything." He said sadly. He got up and walked up to the nearest officer.
"What clues do you have?" He asked. I walked over to Melody.
"How do you think this happened?" I whispered.
"I don't know." She whispered back. I heard Hunter yell as he threw a glass cup onto the floor. I looked over at him to see that he was red in the face, hands in fists and teeth clenched.
"Would you like to come over? I think Hunter needs the mental support." Michael said as he laid a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah sure." I said. I looked over to look at melody only to see her examining the evidence.
"Hey I'm going home with Hunter, you drive my car home." I said as she tore her eyes from the silver, cleaned knife on the floor.
"Okay. Toss me your keys." She said as she stood up from her kneeling position. She put her hands up ready for the catch as I unclipped my keys and under handed them to her. She caught them and nodded as she walked towards the exit. I walked over to Hunter and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Why don't we take you home." I said sadly.
"O-okay." He stuttered. I moved my hand from his shoulder to his hand and led him out of the restaurant. I followed Michael to his black Honda and got in the back with Hunter getting in the front. Michael drove.
"Was he your brother?" I asked as Michael started the engine.
"Yeah. He was." Hunter said slowly.
"May I ask what his name was?" I asked sadly. He didn't reply.
"If you don't want to talk about it that's fine." I said as I leaned forward and put a hand on his shoulder. Even though we only met a week before we were already close friends.
"I'll talk about it later." He said sadly. I saw a tear roll down his cheek.
"Okay." I said as I leaned back into the chair. I felt my phone buzz in my back pocket. I grabbed it out and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Kailiae Fraciaso where are you?" I heard my mother say through the phone.
"I'm going over to Hunters, you know, the night guard before me?" I asked. I heard her sigh on the other line.
"Okay. Call me when your on your way home." She said as she hung up. Wow people are all on hanging up with me today.
Ten minuets later we arrived at Hunters house. A large one story with a backyard. Michael unlocked the front door with a blue key as we all walked inside. Hunter walked in, head down and sat on the couch.
"Are you going to keep this restraint running?" I asked Michael. He shook his head. I nodded.
"But we are thinking of starting a new chain of restaurants." He said as he put a finger on his chin, as if he was thinking.
"Maybe we could call it, Freddy Fazbears." He wondered.
"Ooo ooo Freddy Fazbears Pizza!" I said as the idea popped into my head.
"Yea, and we could have more animatronics than just Freddy," Hunter suggested. He seemed a bit happier.
I grabbed a piece of paper from their coffee table and a pen nearby.
Freddy Fazbears Pizza
>1 Animatronic
"Anything else?" I asked sitting down on their carpet to write better."Maybe the animal part of these robots?" I asked.
"Well we shouldn't have too many, maybe just three others, but have suits employees can wear." Hunter suggested.
"I would think a rabbit is your best bet." I said writing down animatronic animals.
"Um, maybe a duck?" Hunter said.
"No, I think it would best if it was a chicken." Michael said. I thought about animals and names. But then I thought of a genre.
"Why don't we add something else for the kids, like we can have Freddy sing, the duck play, like, the keyboard, and the rabbit play the guitar." I said writing those three ideas down.
"Why don't we add pirates? It's a new trend coming out in children." Hunter suggested.
"Of course! That is a great idea!" Michael exclaimed."We could have a fox pirate, wait a minuet, Foxy the Pirate!" Michael said happily.
"Good good, and we could name the chicken Chica! Chica the Chicken! That could be our first girl animatronic!" Hunter said happily.
"And Rookie Rabbit, no, Rabbit, Bunny, Bonnie, Bonnie the Bunny!" I exclaimed happily.
"We could have show stage for Chica, Bonnie and Freddy, and an area for Foxy, hmm..." Hunter trailed off.
"Pirates cove!" Michael exclaimed. Hunter nodded excitedly. I wrote Pirates Cove and ShowStage down on the paper. After ten more minuets of collaboration, this is what the paper looked like,
Freddy Fazbears Pizza
>1 = 4 Animatronics
Foxy the Pirate
Chica the Chicken
Bonnie the Bunny
Freddy Fazbear
Chica, Bonnie & Freddy= ShowStage
Foxy= Pirates Cove
2 spring lock animatronics
Spring Bonnie (Yellow Bunny)
Spring Freddy (Yellow Bear)
"I think we're good!" I said as I showed the paper to Michael and Hunter.
"Sick!" Hunter exclaimed.
"I think we have our Freddy Fazbears Pizza." Michael said happily. I smiled as we both looked at him. I then looked at Hunter.
"I think you should be the first to take night shift." He said happily.
