Thunder continues to rumble as Mike makes his way inside the abandoned place once again. This place is giving him the creeps, but it's the only job left at this point, so there's nothing he can do about it.

As he sits in the office, a pair of headphones on top of his head, relaxing to the sweet, soothing sounds of the outdoors as he awaits for sleep to fall upon him. While this is happening, the lights on the camera in front of Mike start to flicker out of control, before returning to its original setting. In fact, one of them had an ominous shadow of a fox appear in one of the hallways. But Mike was asleep once again, not paying attention to the place like he was supposed to.

In his dreams, Mike is reliving the same sequence again, running towards Garrett as the car gets further and further. Just like before, he couldn't reach the car or Garrett in time before it disappeared into the distance. "GARRETT!!" He yells out, but to no avail, as the car is nowhere in sight. The familiar sounds of a twig being crunched was heard coming from behind him, indicating that the children from last night have appeared once again in Mike's dream.

"Wait, please." He calls out, trying to gain the trust of the children before they run away like before. Mike begins to put his hand out, trying to ease any tension between them. "Please, d-don't... don't run, okay?"

"I... I just want to know what you saw." Mike calmly asks. The children continued to stare at him, not giving him an answer back, he hasn't gained their trust. "Please, I'm begging you."

"Help me." With no answer in sight, Mike's patience is cut short as he yells towards the five children in a threatening tone. "WHO TOOK GARRETT?!" In response, the five children all run in different directions, Mike quickly runs towards the closest to him in the hopes that he might catch one this time. He grabs onto the boy with the orange shirt and a toy hook that replaced his hand. In defense, the kid turns around and slashes Mike's arm. Feeling the pain, Mike loosens his grip but the boy does not run away.

Mike grabs onto the wound, before pulling away to see the damage, it was indeed bleeding and with a deep gash to boot. He looked in the direction of the boy, but instead of seeing his normal face, the kid's eyes were pure black with tears similar to the colour of his eyes bleeding down his face. The boy's scream begins to get louder and louder until Mike wakes up back in his office.

The lights begin to flicker out of control as Mike takes off his headphones. He looks towards the camera to see what's going on, but just like the lights, they were distorted only showing static images all at the same time. Before he can figure out what's going on, the speaker coming from behind him starts to wail. The song 'Talking in Your Sleep' plays at max volume, causing Mike to cover his ears. But instead of continuing to play the song, it stops on the words: "The secrets that you just can't hide."

"It's Me" is shown drawn onto a mirror behind him in a desperate attempt to communicate to Mike, but his focus was left elsewhere as he unknowingly knocks down his bottle of sleeping pills.

"You tell me that you want me..."

The image of Foxy appears in the doorway before Mike lunges towards the circuit breaker and with a flip of the switch, the speaker and the cameras turn off. He takes a second to get his bearings together before flipping the switch back on. The sounds of the generator powering up takes over what was left from before. Suddenly, the sound of the buzzer beside him was heard, thunder continuing to rumble.

He looks at the cameras to see a police car from the GFPD parked outside and looks at another camera to see where the noise is coming from and lo and behold, there was a person at the front entrance. They're seen hiding inside a rain poncho, but not before the figure turns around to reveal a police officer.
