Remorseless

Chapter Five

I was locked and loaded with two handguns,  should things go badly. I also had some small knives and a taser just in case.

The three of us stepped onto the elevator and we slowly began going downwards.

"There is no way this has always been here." Freddy pointed out. "I have a bad feeling.."

"Me too." Bonnie added.

A short silence passed.

"Welcome to your new and exciting career!" A newer robotic voice suddenly spoke, and I'm not gonna lie, it scared the crap out of all of us.

"What the- this wasn't here last time!" I explained to the other two.

"Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad in Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins,  or if this is the result of a dare,  we welcome you."

"The Hell? A job?" Bonnie wondered aloud.

"I will be your personal guide, to help you get started. I'm Model 5 of the Handyman's Robotics and Unit Repair System. But you can call me Hand Unit."

"Hand Unit? Well that's a stupid name.." Bonnie crossed his arms.

"And Bonnie's a girl's name. SHH!" Freddy scolded.

I heard Bonnie mutter something under his breath, but the Hand Unit continued talking about the career we chose,  and its perks. It was interesting.  Then, it told us to write out name as we saw on the control pad.

"Mike? Hm..." I tried to touch the keypad but it was glitching out.

"It seems you're having trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to write,  and I will autocorrect it for you. Welcome...Quesadilla."

"What????" I immediately start laughing. "Well, put it on my birth certificate, my new name is Quesadilla!" I couldn't help myself.

The elevator slowed to a stop and the lights turned off. We were then allowed to crawl through the vent and into the main office.

"Allow me to fill this frightening silence with some light hearted banter. Due to the massive success and more unfortunate, closing of Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria, the stage was set, no pun intended, for another contender in children's entertainment."

"We didn't close...this must be old..." I mentioned, and then reached for my radio.  "Hey Uncle? We got down here safely. "

"Yeah? Anything new?" He askes from the other end.

"Yeah. When did the pizzeria close? It must have been sometime in the past right? There's this recording saying they started this thing when it closed."

"I don't know. I'll do some digging and see what I can find."

"Thank you!"

"Let's get started with your daily tasks." Hand Unit continued, when we emerged from the vent. "Please view the window to your left.

We all looked to our left, and saw a strange control pad with it.

"This is the Ballora Gallery and Dance Studio. Encouraging kids to get fit and enjoy pizza."

"What???" I burst out laughing again. Bonnie and Freddy didn't find it as funny as I did.

"Let's turn on the light and see if Ballora is on her stage. " Hand Unit said.

"Oh we get to see her?" I asked, before the control pad lit up. I pushed the top button, which controlled the light. We didn't see anything.

"She's not there..." Freddy pointed out.
