: The Old Song

The six boys felt quite pressured, seeing that there were very little clues given to them.

Minhyung pressed play on yet another tape recorder to see if it would help them, the back of it reading the name Wally Franks.

"So I go to get my dust pan from the hall closet the other day and guess what? I can't find my stupid keys. It's like they disappeared into thin air or something. All I can think of is that they must have fallen in one of the garbage cans as I was making my rounds last week. I just hope nobody tells Sammy. Because if he finds out I lost my keys again, I'm outta here"

"I'll go find his stupid keys..."

Renjun grumbled, searching multiple garbage cans.

He was surprised to have found them so quickly from the first can he checked in, and happily came back boastfully jingling the keys.

Minhyung used them to unlock the hall closet by Sammy's office, and found yet another tape recorder.

"These things seem to really come in handy"

He smiled as he pressed play.

It was Sammy again.

"Every artistic person needs a sanctuary. Joey Drew has his and I have mine. To enter, you need only know my favorite song: The piano delicately calls. The piano returns in graceful harmony. The violin shudders with a piercing voice. The bass fiddle sings with deep articulation. Sing my song and my sanctuary will open to you"

"Why did have to explain that so weirdly???"

Chenle questioned his hyungs, but even they couldn't answer that question.

They boys ventured back to the start, and found stairs that went up to a Projection Booth. Minhyung pressed play on yet another tape recorder, that back of it reading the name Norman Polk.

"Every day the same strange thing happens. I'll be up here in my booth, the band will be swinging, and suddenly Sammy Lawrence just comes marching in and shuts the whole thing down. Tells us all to wait in the hall. Then I hear him. He starts up my projector, and he dashes from the projector booth and down to the recording studio like the little devil himself was chasing behind. Few seconds later, the projector turns off. But Sammy, oh no, he doesn't come out for a long time. This man is weird. Crazy weird. I got half a mind to talk to Mr. Drew about all this. I really do. But then again, I have to admit. Mr. Drew got his own peculiarities"

"I get it! Chenle, turn on the projector!"

Minhyung ordered.

Chenle turned it on, broadcasting a mini cartoon of Bendy on a screen.
