TW: "The following chapter contains topics that might not be suitable for all audiences such as gore like depictions of children as well as murder, and discussions of death with children"

(Y/n) was sick all day the next day over the voicemail left by Dr. Joy.

"I'm sorry I left so suddenly —"

That phrase repeated over and over in her mind as she sat at her computer, no work getting done at the moment, only watching emails come in on her screen, probably important ones at that.

There was no return number, just instructions.

"I'll reach out to you between 1 and 6 AM. It's important."

"Of course he'd make it so inconvenient." She sighed as she swiveled back and fourth on her chair.

It was all about what he knew though. He'd left her behind to save himself, something had to have changed. Besides this it was a constant battle in her mind over Walden, the man she had fallen in love with being this monster, somehow she seperate them.

The man who had grown to love her and show her affection, shown his weakness, and the man doing horrific acts behind the scenes. However something told here that it had to be seen, it had to be there in front of her.

(Y/n) was blind to the realities though deep in their heart they knew —

1 New Email.

"Hmm?"

She leaned forward as the title read "Immediate Attention Necessary."

Those emails didn't come out Willy-nilly, not unless they were involved but — this wasn't sent by them, it was sent by Barnaby Beagle, head of robotics in the factory.

"Hello, please be advised the factory will be testing its security system from 9PM to 3AM over the next 3 days. Night shift employees will be paid for the missed time. All members of the facility are to be in their dormitories and checked in. Walks through the halls are prohibited. For further questions please see attached FAQ below. If unsure otherwise feel free to stop by my office or email me during my available times. Thank you."

(Y/n) wrinkled her brow after reading it, why wasn't she told of this earlier? As this thought ran through her mind another email came through to her specifically.

(Y/n), you are of the select participants requested to work during this time, please be available from 9 PM to 3 AM over the next 3 days, Thank you

- Barnaby. B. Beagle

She replied immediately, "I feel like I'm the last to know, I'll be in my office unless specified otherwise, bring donuts, - (Y/n)"

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Come in," Wally spoke up.

(Y/n) walked into his office closing the door behind herself, "So this security check?"

"Barnaby's idea," He answered, turning off his computer screen and turning his attention to her, "We actually only spoke about it recently, its extremely last minute."

"That's really — not your style. You're so organized. I was a little shocked I wasn't involved sooner."

"Don't take any offense to it, (Y/n). It's nothing against you, even the other regulars weren't informed." He took a drink off his coffee, "I don't like last minute ideas either."

"Did something happen or?" She sat down In the seat in front of his desk.

"No, well —" Wally sighed, "Barnaby and I both overlooked the last security check and missed it by 5 days. When the factory lost power a bit ago it reset the previous check time causing us to miss it completely. He took the opportunity to check the system and do a major update on all of it."
