"So that's really all you know about this Vanny?",Gregory asked. It was a little hard to understand why or how she did what she did. And just how she related to Paige's mom. Other than she was allegedly doing her a favor. Allegedly. Gregory was surprised that she thought getting rid of Paige was a favor. Maybe her mom didn't really want it, but Vanny thought she did. Thought she was terrible and decided to kill her.


Or she was messing with her to hurt her feelings.


That seemed a lot more plausible than just her mom wanting her dead. To Gregory, at the very least it did. And if Monty were being honest, it made more sense to him as well. Paige answered,"Yeah. That's what she told me when I woke up."


"I don't know much about her other than she wants to hurt me and you.",she continued. That was really it. Some part of Paige wanted to know more about her in general. Like how she got into the Pizzaplex in the first place. She understood how Gregory got in. The place is open to the public and possibly came in with an adult. But Vanny? How in the world could she have come in without anyone noticing her? Did they think she was a new animatronic or something? Paige asked,"Why is she after you anyway?"


"I dunno. Maybe she just likes torturing kids?",Gregory offered. There was something off about his tone that made her uneasy. It was odd how he avoided answering the question directly. Odd how he seemed so tense and anxious. But before she could try to ask again there was a knock at the door. Followed by Vanessa's voice. She demanded,"MONTY! OPEN UP! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HELPING ME LOOK FOR THAT LOST KID!"


"WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK IN YOUR ROOM?",she snapped. Without much thought, Paige grabbed Gregory. Dragging him into the small hiding spot and closing it behind him. Monty carefully arranged it to look normal before heading to his door. Opening it up, he stated,"Sorry, Vanessa. Freddy wanted to help look for him and I was getting him up to speed in here."


"Thought he would be really useful to find him.",he added. Not necessarily explaining why he was back in his room. And feeling like a complete idiot. Freddy came up behind him as he nodded his head in agreement. With a small smile, Freddy chimed,"We only came to his room to see if the kid snuck in."


"We were going to check the other rooms, too.",he supplied. If it weren't for the fact he hated him, Monty would have given him two thumbs up. This was one of the smoothest lies that he had told in a long time. And to their utter luck, Vanessa believed them. She shook her head as she muttered,"Fine. But next time tell me. I need to know where you all are so I can keep track of where to look."


"We don't need more than one person lost in this place.",Vanessa scolded. Peeking into the room for herself. As if doubting the lie that either of the animatronics had told her. Turning away, she insisted,"Check the other rooms and inform me if you find anything. I can't do this stupid search all night."


"Yes, Vanessa. We'll tell you right away.",Monty agreed. Shutting the door a few seconds later as he let out a soft sigh. Freddy giving one as well. He rubbed his temples as he took a step away from Monty. Who took off his glasses and twirled them in his hand. Calmly, he complimented,"Good one, Fazbear. I don't think she suspects a thing."


"I hope not.",Freddy muttered. He felt terrified at the idea of them being caught. Especially the children. Even if he wasn't a huge fan of Paige, he didn't want her to die. Both glanced over at the spot that Paige had hidden them. He was grateful that both children were small enough to fit into the compartment. Something about this made him wonder why Monty had it. It didn't occur to him a bit ago. But now he was curious as to why Monty had this in his room. Pointing to it with his thumb, Freddy asked,"So why do you have that? Is it just to hide Paige in?"
