Behind Closed Doors

Vincent

Mike and Jeremy stood, mouth open at the body of Stephanie lying on the ground. Vincent heard footsteps coming from the front door of the pizzeria. He remembered his promise to Scott, and went to the table. He looked down at Scott. He didn't know what to do with the body. He was going to at least carry Scott out of the pizzeria.

Mike and Jeremy each grabbed one of Stephanie's arms and carried her out of the room. Vincent carried Scott in his arms and followed Mike and Jeremy. At the front door, they were stopped by a security guard with the morning shift.

"Who is she?" He asked Mike and Jeremy, pointing at Stephanie.

"Umm..." Jeremy tried to come up with an answer.

"She's my friend." Mike lied. "She was at the party and had a little too much to drink. She knew where I worked and she came here."

"Alright." The guard said. He looked past them at Vincent. "OH GOD!" The guy yelled when he saw Scott. "STAY WHERE YOU ARE" He yelled, running out of the pizzeria

Vincent immediately sprinted out of the pizzeria. He had to get Scott out of there. Mike let go of Stephanie and ran after Vincent. Jeremy managed to not drop Stephanie and laid her down on a bench.

Mike managed to catch up to Vincent and then stopped him.

"Woah, woah!" Mike said, grabbing Vincent's arm. "What are you DOING!?"

Vincent tried to get away from Mike's grasp. "I have to get him out of this place." Vincent said, "I don't want him to be stuck here forever."

"You can't do that. The security guard said-"

"Oh, who cares what he says." Vincent interrupted. "He doesn't understand. He's works here in the morning, when the animatronics don't feel like, oh I don't know, eating people's faces off! He's SAFE at his job." Vincent's voice was getting louder with each word.

"Well, you can't just run into town with a dead body! And it's probably against the law or something."

Vincent pulled his arm away from Mike. "Well I don't care. I already killed people. They don't have much left to do."

Vincent shook his head, and then ran towards the edge of the parking lot.

Both of them were too busy arguing that they didn't realize that police cars and ambulances had surrounded the property.

Vincent was stopped by two police men.

"What did you do to this person?" The police officers questioned.

"I didn't do anything. The animatronics killed him. This place is haunted! Close this place down!" Vincent screamed at the police officers, paramedics, Mike, Jeremy, and the day security guard.

One of the paramedics tried to grab Scott. Vincent kicked his shin. "You can't take him! I know what you'll do to him!"

The police officers tried to calm him down, but it didn't work. Then one of them hit Vincent on the head with their baton. He crumbled to the floor.

One of the paramedics carried Scott. Jeremy ran outside and stood next to Mike.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Vincent went crazy. He didn't want to leave Scott. All he wants to do is take Scott away from this place. The paramedics will just take him somewhere else anyways. I don't know what he's worried about.

"Hey, you." The security guard said to Mike. "Grab your friend. We're closing the place down for today.

Mike and Jeremy both walked inside and picked up Stephanie.

Vincent was knocked out and the paramedic carrying Scott had placed him inside the ambulance and was checking his pulse.

Mike and Jeremy put Stephanie in Mike's car and ran to Vincent, who was starting to regain consciousness. They lifted him up, and Vincent opened his eyes and groaned. He then saw the police officers carrying Scott and walking towards the pizzeria.

"NO!" Vincent yelled, taking a step forward. Since he just regained consciousness, his legs were weak and he fell.

"Woops. Probably shouldn't have let go of him." Mike said to Jeremy.

Mike and Jeremy was going to lift Vincent back up, but Vincent got up on his own and ran towards the police officers, stumbling as he went.

As he got closer to the police officers, other police officers blocked his way.

"MOVE!" Vincent yelled. "DON'T DO THIS!"

The police officer carrying Scott walked into the building and two officers stayed behind to hold Vincent back.

The day security guard stood in front of Vincent at a safe distance. "You know what has to happen. You already experienced this. This is not up to you, but it's up to Her."

Vincent stopped struggling and stared at the floor. He knew that he didn't have the strength to get away from all the people that was around him. He looked up at the security guard. "Fritz, please. I have to save him."

"I'm sorry, Vincent." Fritz replied. "You can't."
