[OLD] Deep Underground

5. Close Calls

I smiled as my boss walked toward me, feeling sick inside. I wanted to say: So you're a murderer, huh? Well, have fun in prison! Then the cops would come out of nowhere and arrest him and I would never have to see William Afton's disgusting face again. Yet here I was, scared that he would find out that I knew he killed them. HE killed them! What a monster...

William reached my car as I stepped out.

"Hello again Y/N! Eager, aren't ya? You're right on time." He smiled at me. I could see the cold calculation in his eyes, the way he noted the look in mine and the way I stood.

I kept my expression happy as I replied, "Yep! Sure am boss! By the way, Hand Unit helped me sooo much on my first night. He helped me motivate the robots and was an excellent guide. You did a great job making him sir!"

I felt sick inside as I had to pretend that I was happy to shock the animatronics. William seemed pleased.

"Okay then Y/N! I'm just going to go home now. Busy day, ya know? Feel free to help yourself to anything in the kitchen and staff room. See ya tomorrow!"

"Bye William!" I said and walked to the door, keeping a smile on my face and my eyes wide and innocent.

I had to play the cards right, if I didn't I would lose, and not just my job. I would probably lose my life as well...

Looking into the glass doors' reflection I noticed him standing there and watching me from outside his car. Opening the door, I turned around and waved once more, before walking into the building.

Once inside I dropped my happy façade. Checking the time, I noted that it was 11:07. I had enough time to walk around the building, grab a snack, and get in the elevator to start my shift.

Slowly, I walked the entire layout of the building, checking the animatronics' stages. How did I not notice they were gone before? I entered the kitchen and warmed up a slice of pizza. Then I grabbed a F/D. (Favorite Drink)

I made my way to the elevator and began my descent to the underground.  After about a minute or two, Hand Unit's voice came onto the system.

"Welcome back to another night of intellectual stimulation, pivotal career choices, and self-reflection on past mistakes. We're committed to creating a unique and fulfilling work experience. One part of that commitment is ensuring that you don't get tired of the voice you're hearing right now."

He paused and I wondered what he meant. For a robot made by a psychopath boss he used a lot of big words. A keypad came into my view, startling me. (JASON I'M STARTLED! ... no? okay. XD)

"Using the keypad below, please select a new companion voice. For male, press one. For female, press two.  For text-only, press three. For other options, press four."

I stared, dumbfounded, at the keypad in front of me. HOW STUPID IS THIS THING?! THERE ARE NO NUMBERS! I groaned as I slammed my fist into the keypad, hoping to break it or something.

To my surprise, a line of dots showed up on the screen, indicating that I had typed in some letters. I rolled my eyes as the keypad retracted so quickly, you'd think it had vanished. Hand Unit's voice, one again, came over the intercom. (I think it's called intercom? Lol. I don't know.)

"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you."

Whatcha got for Eggs Benedict, Handy Man? An opera-singer? I rolled my eyes, knowing that it actually COULD be an opera singer.

"Thank you for choosing: Angsty Teen." I stood there, laughing, 'cause I knew what THAT meant. I was about to be knocked off of my throne, and stripped of my title, as the Most Annoying Person In Existence... well... technically he wasn't a person. So my regime still stands! (I don't even know what I'm am typing anymore. Lol. XD)
