I’m back again, this time I almost died immediately after coming back to life from a heart attack. I was standing right next to a Bendy statue, not the best thing to see after you just died from him. I looked around and found Boris, sitting on a bench.

“Heard you died.”

“Yep. Am I supposed to get used to this?”

Boris shrugged.

“You got in the studio, now you’re staying in the studio. That’s just how it is.”

 He was quiet just like before. I sat down next to him.

“How were things when I left?”

He started fiddling with his fingers.

“Well, for Bendy, you didn’t just leave, you abandoned him. That made him mad, even more so when he knew you weren’t coming back. He was so mad that he was really close to killing me.”

I looked at him. Didn’t he say that Bendy would never hurt him, no matter what?

“Yeah, I know that look. He isn’t going to hurt me, now. He did hurt me…once.”

I was completely listening.

J

oey was working as usual.


“Dammit, I’m running low on ink. Erick!”

Henry heard the irritated Joey

“Sit down, buddy. I’ll handle this, he sounds pissed.”

With a simple nod the worker agrees. Henry then enters Joey’s office, Bendy and Boris were nearby.

“What’s up Joey? Did you forget to drink your coffee this morning?”

Joey chuckled.

“You know I don’t drink coffee, Henry. Now, where’s the worker that I called?”

“With that voice you sounded like you were going to kill someone, so I came instead. Come on, whatever you need I’ll get it for you. Do you really have time to worry about who it is?”

Joey started searching his desk and gave Henry a pot of ink he needed.
“You really like using that tactic, don’t you?”

“Just trying to be a good employee.”

Joey rolls his eyes.

“Whatever, just get me a few of those pots of ink. This money should be enough for a good few.”

Henry looks at the money and thinks about his task. This is my chance to get out of this job! Joey doesn’t want me to get out of this messed up project he’s up to and I’m the only one that knows about these two. He’ll be too busy to even bother looking for me.

“Alright, Joey. I’ll just go grab a few things for the trip.”

Joey grows suspicious.
