We organized a small group to find Preston. It was pairings to be safe. Red decided he was okay enough to go and Barney decided if Red's going so am I. Cory and Nick have to go and Sky knew the way, and Ty came with him. Aaron, Dante, Den, Green, Jordan, Liam, Lucinda, Stacy, and Yellow came with that group. My group, it was Max, Ross, Sean, Shelby, Zane, and I, didn't say where we were going, but went. We went to Sky's Pizzeria, at night, before they left.

"Let's go team." I said.

"Are we seriously breaking into a pizza place in our pyjamas?" Max asked.

"Yes." Ross nodded.

Max shrugged as Shelby chirped, "I heard there's a night guard. Maybe we can chat with him, into spending the night with him."

"Sean, can you hack into the phone system?" Zane questioned.

"I heard they have new animatronics." I interrupted.

"Like?" Zane asked, slightly annoyed.

"A humanoid."

The doors opened to reveal a man with brown hair and dark brown eyes, "A human."

"Huh?" We all say, turning around.

"He's a human. Not even a part robot."

"Why is he here, then?" Max remarked.

"The man who owns this place... he's not stable... neither is he..."

"What's his name?" Shelby asked

"Nate. His name is Nate."

"You were quick to answer that." Max pointed out.

He laughed, "He was my friend before something happened. Come in. He helps keep the animatronics away."

"Sky, Ty, Aph, and Jordan?"

"Along with new ones, Barney, Ross, and Max."

"Uh. Is the creator stalking us?"

"What do you me- oh."

"I'm Max. This is my husband, Ross, and child, Sean."

"I'm Shelby and this is S'mores."

"Mat. Can you help Nate?"

"We can try." S'mores shrugged.

"Nate!" Mat called and a smaller boy ran out of the office.

"Mat! Gosh. You made friends!" Nate smiled, looking at them.

His eye twitched when he looked at Max and Ross. Nate, was normal looking, black hair, dark eyes, black jeans, and a regular t-shirt. Only thing contrasting from his appearance was the jacket he was drowning in.

"He doesn't like the animatronics." Mat said, "Let's get back to the office."

"Has he slept any?" I asked.

"Not really. Why?" Mat asked turning around.

"He seems tired." Sean answered.

Nate was swaying, grabbing onto Mat's sleeve, who in return picked him up.

"He stays up to entertain and then to protect me." Mat explained.

"In the morning, you should quit, both of you." Max said.

"Not that easy." Shelby said, "Probably worse for Nate."

"What if we leave, and never come back?"

Metal creaking was heard down the corridor.

"D-don't c-c-call me m-mad M-M-Max."

Nate tensed and Mat sat down, so did Shelby, Sean, and S'mores. Ross and Max stood, noting there were no more seats. Everyone was tense.
