Lament-ed Flavor (Glamrock Fronnie)

Chapter 6: Journalist Instinct. . .

3rd Person P.O.V:

One night, this time the story focuses a bit on the side character, Roxanne Wolf, Bonnie's ex. She was working at home, then started browsing through the internet for any articles to spark her inspiration.

"Mom?" Cassie's sleepy voice comes, and Roxanne turns around, "Cassie, what's wrong, honey? Did you have a nightmare?"

Cassie walks up to Roxanne, and says, "No, I just wanted to talk a little."

"Aww~, come here." Roxanne pats her lap, and Cassie smiles, and soon sits on Roxanne's lap. Roxanne hugs Cassie, and says, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Anything~. Oh! I met Mr. Freddy today!"

"Oh, did you?"

"Yes! He let me taste his food again, and it was so good! I really like his food."

"Ohh~? More than mine~?"

". . .No."

"Cassie! How dare you~!" Roxanne starts tickling Cassie, who starts laughing, "S-Sorry, mom! Yours is the best!"

Roxanne stops, "That's what I thought~."

Cassie giggles, and Roxanne pats her head, ". . .Cassie?"

"Yes, mom?"

". . .Do you like Mr. Freddy?"

"Uh-huh! He's so nice! Do you like him, mom?"

". . .He's not bad, but I love Monty."

". . .Mom. . ."

"I know that you don't like him, but. . .I won't tell you to open up to him. Just. . .give him a chance?"

". . .He's a liar."

"You know he was just joking."

". . .I saw him with a lady."

"Must be that animatronic lady he's bodyguarding. It's just his job, Cassie."

". . .Do you like him more than me?"

"What? Don't be ridiculous, of course I love you more~! You're my daughter~."

"Even. . .if I don't see him as. . .my dad?"

"Cassie, I value your opinion, and I will never force you to accept him. I am just asking for a little bit of chance for him. That's all."

"Okay, mom."

"That's my girl. Now, go to sleep, you have school tomorrow." Roxanne kisses Cassie's head, and Cassie giggles, "Okay, goodnight, mom."

After Cassie went back to bed, Roxanne continues what she was doing, she finds old articles that covered crimes. "Hmm. . .a horror or mystery film might not be bad." Roxanne comes across an article about 5 kids gone missing at a mascot restaurant. Roxanne skims through it, but some words caught her eyes, 'missing children', 'bear & bunny mascot', 'restaurant', 'friendly employees', 'body never found', 'recycled pizza', etc. Somehow these words reminded her of Freddy & Bonnie. . .especially Freddy. Roxanne got curious & looks into the incident a bit more, then notices that one of the missing children named, 'Cassidy', which reminds her of Cassie.

"It's. . .just a name, similar name." Roxanne mumbles, and keeps looking through. Something feels off to her. It's her journalist instinct kicking in, connecting dots, and it's also her mother instinct kicking in. Freddy & Cassie seem to be getting along, and Cassie is fond of Freddy a lot. Plus, knowing how Bonnie is, Roxanne fears for Cassie's safety.
