One ear-piercing sound later, Abby woke up on the floor, surrounding her were the animatronics, Vanessa, and her older brother Mike. "Abby?" Mike's muffled voice awoke Abby, getting her used to her senses once again. "Abby! Abby!"

Finally being able to see and hear clearly without the constant sound of ringing piercing her ears, Abby lays on the ground, meeting the eyes of everyone around her. She let out a little cough that was her body's way of signalling she was okay for the moment. "What happened?"

"It's okay, Abby." Vanessa muttered, bringing her in for a hug to comfort her and to get her other senses working from that shock that happened before. "You just had an accident." Rubbing her back to comfort her after that nasty shock. "You're okay. I'm so sorry."

This was definitely a terrifying moment for Mike, almost losing his sister due to his carelessness in leaving her alone and using her for his own gain. Maybe he wasn't fit to take care of her, I mean he almost lost her tonight. The words of what his aunt said began to manifest in his head, that she was right about everything; he was nothing but a degenerate who was not even able to take care of his sister.


Meeting back in the parking lot after the end of his shift, Mike confronts Vanessa, trying to find the words to apologize but he was never really good at that. "I don't know what to say."

"Just go home, Mike." She said, finding it hard to see any good in him at that moment. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she makes her way towards her car to go home and sleep before her shift starts again. "Take care of your sister."

"What are you so afraid of?" He asks, it might have been due to how tired he was from all the rush during his shift but he knew at that moment that it wasn't the time to ask that, but it was already too late. "In the storage room... I saw your eyes. You were terrified." By the time she turned around to face Mike with an angry expression on her face, he knew he fucked up.

"You can do whatever you want with your own life," Confronting him close to his face. "but if you ever bring Abby back here again, I will shoot you." Her hand was already on the holster by the time she said that, making her point clear to Mike that she was indeed serious this time around. But she takes her hand off of it once she realizes that her emotions got the best of her and proceeds to turn around back to her car.

Abby was the first to see this, despite not knowing what Vanessa had said to her brother to make him appear so stunned. She indeed knew it was not something good. Once the car door opened, Mike went inside, staring in the mirror and rethinking the choices leading up to this moment. He's always seen that look on people's faces when they walked by. Heck, even his father looked at him like that before he left to take care of Abby by himself. But for some reason this time, it hurt coming from a complete stranger. Maybe it was due to the fact that he grew attached to her after only spending a few nights together inside that creepy robot building... or maybe it was something else.

"She looked so angry." Abby expressed, her tone indeed sad but the words still hurt all the same from what she had to say next. "Why does everyone always look at you that way?"

Without answering, Mike starts up the engine. Right now, his only goal is to get Abby home so she can sleep and then he can rethink what his next course of action will be for her. Mike is later seen sitting at the living room table, in front of him is the phone. He sits there, debating on whether it is a good idea or not, he knows Abby will be upset with him but what other choice does he have?

Picking up the phone, he dials a number he never thought he would ever use to this day, but, hey, life always gives you surprises whether you like it or not. As soon as the line clicks, Mike begins to speak into it. "Hey, it's Mike. I need your help."
