Behind Closed Doors

(Not) Breaking In

Mike gasped as he woke up. He was still on the floor and his head and back was aching. He tried to lift himself up to a sitting position but he felt a sharp pain in his arm. He lifted his arm. There were pieces of broken glass sticking in his arm. He gasped, realizing that the broken plates were still next to him and some of the pieces were in his arm.

He looked around the room. The light was on, which Mike didn't have the memory of turning on. There was no one else left in the room.

Suddenly, he remembered why he had become unconscious. He got up and ran to the office. He burst opened the doors and yelled, "Vincent, Fritz found me!" but stopped when he saw Fritz explaining a picture on the computer to Vincent, who was sitting on a chair across the room.

Vincent looked up at Mike, and Mike noticed that his eyes had a crazed look in his eyes. Vincent lunged at Mike, knocking him over onto his back. They both fell on the floor, which caused Mike's back to ache. He was going to complain, but Vincent grabbed his collar and whispered into his ear.

"Help me. He's driving me crazy!"

Mike almost laughed.

Mike looked at Fritz. He was just sitting there, looking at them. Mike looked at the clock, hanging on the wall. The time was 11:45.

Mike jolted up, almost banging his head against Vincent's. "We have to go!"

Vincent also looked at the clock, rubbing his forehead. His eyes widened. He jumped up, helping Mike to his feet.

"Where are you two going?" Fritz asked.

Vincent and Mike both jumped. Then they realized that they didn't have the keys to the pizzeria.

"We have to go to the pizzeria. You had the keys. That's why we're here. We need the keys." Mike explained, talking quickly.

"But I still haven't finished explaining the endoskeleton and the other stuff about the animatronics from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and the animatronics from Fazbear's Family Diner and the differences between them." Fritz wined.

Vincent looked at him. He felt his mind melting from Fritz just talking about how many things he was going to explain to him. He knew he had to get out of there as quickly as possible.

"Umm. How about you explain that stuff tomorrow?" Vincent proposed. "We'll both listen this time. We have find Jeremy and Stephanie and I think they're at the pizzeria, but we can't search there in the day so we're going at night. Please. We just need the keys."

Fritz stared at him wide-eyed. After a few moments, he narrowed his eyes at Vincent. "I know what else you want to do there. But fine, I'll allow it. I won't tell anyone. And you should find Jeremy." He added, looking at Mike. "He's important to you."

Mike nodded. Fritz pulled the keys from his back pocket and handed it to Vincent.

"But one thing you should know." Fritz began, but Vincent grabbed Mike's arm and ran out of the house.

Mike ran to the front of the pizzeria. He was faster than Vincent and made it to the pizzeria before he did. He looked up and a drop of water fell on his face. He knew that if he waited outside any longer, he would get rained on. He tried to open the door, but it was locked and didn't open. He turned around and peered into the darkness. He still couldn't see Vincent and he needed the keys to get in the building. Frustrated, he turned back towards the door and pressed his ear against the door. He tried to see if he could hear a noise that suggested that someone was in the building. He listened to different places along the door to see if he could find a weak spot in the door where he could hear noises clearly.
