The 1985 Incident Page 3
Chapter 3 – Wednesday
Phone Guy woke up at the time he was always supposed to. He didn't receive any phone calls, at least to his knowledge. He didn't feel like checking. He was worn out and sore from yesterday. Sore from lifting the animatronics and tired from all the stress that goes into the job. He knows something is wrong with that pizzeria, but he is the only one that's able to stop anything from going wrong. Everybody is a possible suspect, maybe except the regional manager, Phone Guy's Boss doesn't seem like he would be capable of messing things up. Plus, he wasn't even at the pizzeria the other day, so there's no way he was messing with the lights on his only day off this week unless he was very determined to it, and that's just not like him.
Phone Guy gets ready for work, does his usual routine, and leaves. He gets there about 15 minutes early, better early than late is what Phone Guy thinks. Phone Guy sees two cars in the driveway, so not everyone is there yet. He walks inside and sees Phone Guy's Boss, and he assumes the other one is Henry's. Phone Guy walks over to Phone Guy's Boss. "Hey, you hear what happened yesterday?" Phone Guy asks, and Phone Guy's Boss lifts his head up from the counter, he seemed to be sleeping. "Oh… uh yeah, I heard about that stuff. Pretty eery." He said, and looked around for a moment before rubbing his eyes, he continued with "Henry wanted to talk to you in the back about something. You better get back there." Phone Guy's Boss then stood up, and walked over to the restrooms.
Phone Guy walks to the back and knocks on Henry's office. He hears him say come in, and Phone Guy slowly opens the door. Henry puts his fingers to his lips and points to his daughter sleeping on the ground. "Hey, what did you want to see me for?" Phone Guy asks, trying to be quiet. Henry motions for him to get closer to him. Phone Guy walks near and Henry says "I just wanted to let you know, I'm very thankful for you watching my daughter. Ever since my other child disappeared at Fredbear's, things have not been the same… wife left and everything. Charlie's all I have." Phone Guy clears his throat, and doesn't quite know what to say. Henry then continues "I know, I know, it's awkward hearing this from somebody. I just needed to let you know I appreciate all you do. I'm going to be honest. I don't trust Dave, and I don't trust William. If you knew William the way I do, you'd know he was creepy. Only reason I'm still with the company is because of a contract." Phone Guy nods as he tells him all of this. "Sorry about that. I wish your experiences here were better." Phone Guy says, and Henry smiles before saying "Thanks. Just keep your eyes out on either Dave or William. I don't trust William… something tells me he's behind the disappearance of my child at Fredbear's, and possibly the other children at the 1983 location." Phone Guy nods. "I'll watch them sir. I pretty much do anyways. I have to keep my eyes on every one." Phone Guy says, and Henry smiles and shakes his hand. "Thank you, you're free to leave." Henry says, and Phone Guy walks out of the office, he looks back one time before shutting the door and sees Henry leaning over his daughter and giving her a kiss. Phone Guy shuts the door.
While walking out, he sees William Afton leaning against the wall. "Hey, I need to talk to you for a moment. Privately." William says, as Phone Guy nods. Oh boy, another private talk, he thought. William leads Phone Guy to a more secluded area in the room. No camera in this area either. "Keep your eyes on Henry. He's not been feeling well lately." William says to Phone Guy, as Phone Guy nods kinda slowly. "Ever since his wife left him, he's been a little off. Doesn't even watch his daughter half the time. Tinkers with his toys at home and work. I've been friends with him since the early 70's. I know who he is, and he's not being himself." William says, and Phone Guy starts to rub his chin. "Huh… I guess we're not really trustworthy of each other, huh." Phone Guy says, William laughs. "Yeah, I guess we're not." William's face gets a little more serious after that and he continues with "Just, keep your eyes on him. We don't watch this pizzeria to have the same fate as the last one, especially due to lack of care in management. That's why I've been coming here every day. I've been quite nervous." William says, as Phone Guy nods. "Understood, sir." Phone Guy says, and William smiles and says "I like that, kid. Keep it up." Phone Guy nods. Phone Guy didn't entirely like when he called him a kid, since when is a 28 year old considered a kid? William then walks off and into Henry's office.
Phone Guy walks up to the front, where his position usually is. He's just getting prepared a little early for today. He then hears a loud bang near Pirate Cove. He walks over to it, and he sees a pink light flashing from the inside. He goes inside of there, and he sees nothing. Just a shutdown Foxy. His eyes looked silver compared to the other animatronics, a very shiny silver. The sign says out of order. That's new, that was not there yesterday. Phone Guy looked around for a moment, and saw nothing but a dropped flashlight. He picked it up. It had a strange pink bulb inside of it. Whoever used this bulb must really like the color pink, he thought. He walks out through the curtains and already sees families coming in. He decides to ask Henry about it. He walks into the office, and neither Henry or William are back there. He sees Charlie still sleeping back there though. He shuts the door, and then walks to the backroom, and opens the door. He sees William and Henry in there and they're arguing. They both look at Phone Guy when he walks in. "Oh, uh… hey. I just wanted to put this flashlight back, saw it laying in Pirate Cove." Phone Guy puts it down where all the other flashlights are. He then walks out, quite nervous.
Phone Guy doesn't know who to trust anymore. He then sees Dave and walks over to him and asks. "Any idea why Foxy is out of order and why there was a pink flashlight laying back there?" Dave shakes his head to say no, and says "I didn't do that, if that's what you're asking. It's either my old man or Henry. Most likely Henry. He wanted to shut Foxy down yesterday after he nearly scared that lady to death. She complained to the manager about his shaky endoskeleton and scary silver eyes. She said it was as if they hypnotized her." Dave shrugs and continues "To be honest, there's no point in trying to save this place. It's going to go down just like the last one. You don't belong here, you have a full life ahead of you. Don't waste it here trying to make kids happy. That's not happening at a place like this." Dave then walks away and into the bathroom. Phone Guy just kinda stands there thinking for a moment, he then walks back to his position.
He stands there. Feeling very confused about this place. Dave was probably right. It wasn't probably the best idea to stay here, but Phone Guy really did like Freddy's. Maybe it's because he always wanted a place like this when he was a kid, and Phone Guy also liked making children happy. It gave him a certain spark in his heart whenever he saw a child smile. He does realize it might be a hopeless cause, but maybe he can fix it. There's always that possibility. There are some odd characters here now that weren't at the previous location, such as William Afton, who was oddly weird for being the creator of the place, his son, and Henry. Henry was quite odd as well. Possibly it had something to do with his wife leaving him.
There's no one he can really trust here anymore. Outside of the regional manager, Phone Guy's Boss. Phone Guy's Boss then walks up to Phone Guy and says "Hey, sorry about you walking in on them arguing. They don't usually do that. Just with Foxy and all that yesterday, things have been a little hostile. Has nothing to do with you or the other employees." Phone Guy's Boss puts his hand on Phone Guy's shoulder. "Look, I know I'm not as high up as these other guys, but I assure you, it'll all be fine. Even if this pizzeria does close down, I'll be giving you the manager's position. I don't think these two are going to have their work relationship still going strong after this place. They seem to want to constantly backstab each other." Phone Guy's Boss said, and he then took a drink of his water and let go of Phone Guy's shoulder. "I don't know which one to trust either, just go with what they say. It's safer that way." He says, and Phone Guy looks at him curiously. "What do you mean safer?" Phone Guy asks, Phone Guy's Boss gets closer to his ear and whispers "I really think one of these guys is the person behind the disappearances at Fredbear's and the other pizzeria, but I don't know which one to trust
." He then backs away from his ear, and finished with "Just be careful." He then walks away and back to the front desk.
Hours pass, the whole day went by like a flash. Nothing really happened. He kept his eyes on Charlie and Dave, Charlie just ran around with her friends and Dave stood where he was supposed to except for a couple times when he went to the restroom, which Phone Guy did as well. William did leave a little early, oddly. Possibly Henry didn't want him there anymore, he left due to his anger, or he just didn't feel the need of staying. It was time to close though. The same routine went down. They all said bye to Phone Guy, except for Dave oddly. He seems to like him sometimes and other times not at all. Phone Guy's Boss walks out as well and smiles at Phone Guy, and he smiles back. Everyone is out of the pizzeria, it's time to go home. He holds the door open for Jim, and Jim doesn't seem too excited about being there again. Last night must've been a bad day night for him too.
Phone Guy walks out to his car, and drives off to his house. Once inside, he goes upstairs, gets ready for bed, and then hops into bed. He closes his eyes, thinking about what's been going on. It's all just very confusing. Too much for him to take in. He eventually falls asleep, even after all the stress he's under. Maybe it'll get better.
