Foxy x Mangle: Smoke and Mirrors

Chapter 4: Still Here

?????? POV

"Sir, the business is booming. We're making a fortune with the slave sellings, people have been switching to your weapon company for guns, and your clubs have been getting so many tips." My second-in-command, Dakini, informs, swiping through the tablet. Dakini is a black mouse with violet eyes, and I met her at one of the slave sellings. She proved to be more trustworthy than that pathetic excuse of a bear Toy Freddy, who was bailed out by his own nemesis. God, he's such a little wormy bitch.

"Good. And we've gotten the support of gangs and mafias?"

"Yes. They're ready, sir."

"Good. Tell them to start phase one. It's time to move past dealing with pesky people and start dealing with populations."

"Yes sir. Soon, we will be the most feared organization there ever was."

"Yes we most definitely will. Dismissed." I flick my paw in her direction, and she quickly leaves. I let out a small chuckle.

"Foolish foxes. I guess they haven't realized that the Nightmare was far from over. It's only beginning."

TF's POV

"Daddy! Cadmar hurt his knee!" Caci cried, pointing to her brother.

"I think he needs his papi to help him be strong." Aiko teased, kissing me on the cheek before leading Caci inside. Ever since Foxy bailed me out of jail, everything's been so much better. I got a job at a local theater, teaching kids how to show emotion through their acting, which is where I met Aiko, my beautiful wife. Aiko is a polar bear, with bright blue eyes and black tattoos on her arms and legs. She was a director at the theater, and we met when the kids started telling her about me. We started dating, and a year later we were engaged. After our wedding, we decided to adopt kids and found Cadmar and Caci, fraternal red panda twins. We adopted them when they were five, and now they're seven, and both growing up to be great kids. Cadmar loves painting, drawing, and fashion shows, while Caci is full on sports. Her favorites are gymnastics, wrestling, and soccer, and she's good enough to be on all boy teams for each sport.

I'm surprised that my life took this wonderful turn. I have the most amazing woman in the world as my wife, two amazing kids, and I'm no longer a slave to Nightmare. It's so refreshing, having the ability to choose my lifestyle.

Back to the present, I grab a first-aid kit and find Cadmar walking his bike back up to the garage with a scrape on his knee and some tears streaming down his face. When he sees me, he breaks down completely, big fat tears streaming down his face. I pull him into a hug, soothing him to the best of my ability.

"Don't worry buddy, I'll always be here for you. Always."
