The 1985 Incident

by Bob Kite

  Chapter 2 – Tuesday

  Phone Guy gets a call at 5:30 AM, three hours before the pizzeria opens. It's Henry. He's calling because he needs Phone Guy to come it early due to a malfunction with the animatronics. He needs all the help he can get. Phone Guy gets dressed and heads out the door by 6 AM. He pulls into the pizzeria, gets out of the car, locks his door, and walks inside. He sees that the Freddy animatronics head is laying on the floor while the other characters are standing in a circle around it. All off the stage and in the dining room. Jim, Henry and Dave are all there, standing by themselves. They aren't speaking to each other or anything. Jim and Henry looked as if they had no idea what was going on. Dave looked lost in another world somewhere. Phone Guy walked over to Henry to ask about what's going on.

  Phone Guy asks "So, what's going on here?" Henry shakes his head and responds "I have no idea. Apparently Freddy ripped his own head off, that's what the night guard said at least." Jim walks over after hearing them talking about the night guard. "I swear to God, they walked off the stage. Then Freddy looks directly at me in the camera and starts pulling his own head off. Then the other animatronics looked at the camera in a circle around Freddy's head and just… stared. It was at about 5 AM when this all happened. They've been in low power mode ever since" Jim said, as he put his hands up to his mouth. Jim looks frightened, Phone Guy can see it in the way he moves and talks. He's telling the truth. Freddy ripped his own head off.

  Dave walks over to the animatronics and pushes them aside to the best of his ability. They're heavy, but he seems to do just fine moving them. He picks up Freddy's head and walks to the backroom with it. Phone Guy watches as he does so. Dave then walks back and over to the group. "Hey, can somebody give me a hand carrying Freddy back? I can't lift him myself." He asks, and Phone Guy nods and agrees to help him take him back. Phone Guy grabs Freddy by the feet while Dave grabs his torso. They carry him to the backroom. Phone Guy hasn't been to the backroom in this pizzeria yet. It all looks normal, then he sees one of the springlock suits. "Hey, what's that doing here?" Phone Guy asks as they both put Freddy down in the upright position. Dave looks over at the springlock suit.

  "Oh, that? Just a souvenir from one of the locations. We keep it in the back as a backup." Dave says, and Phone Guy responds with "Aren't those things not supposed to be used?" Dave shakes his head, and walks over to the toolbox in the corner of the room to go pick it up. "I don't know man. All I know is my father wanted it here." He said, he then walks over to Freddy and starts to fix his head. Slowly putting in the screws. "Look, I hate it here. I really do. I'm only here so I can get surgery to fix this." He says, pointing to his face. "Hey, it doesn't look that ba-" Phone Guy is interrupted. "Yes, it looks that bad." Dave says angrily, and gets back to fixing Freddy's head. After a few minutes of silence between the two of them, Freddy's head is fixed. "Look, sorry for the attitude. I just don't enjoy working with my father. He's the reason I look like this." He says as he grabs the top of Freddy, and Phone Guy grabs the bottom. Phone Guy automatically feels awful and says "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I had no idea." Dave laughs it off "Don't worry about it, tried to ask him for a place to stay. Dad acted like it was an attack. Gave me these scars." Dave said. He opens the door. "Out of pity for my ugliness, he gave me a job to pay for the surgery. I'm only here until this one closes as well." Phone Guy looks at him curiously and asks "What do you mean, closed?" Dave laughs and says "This one is going to close, just like the rest. It always happens. Fredbear's Family Diner. The previous Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. No amount of new animatronics will ever make this place better. Surprised Henry is still here, he doesn't really like me or my father. Guess they have a contract." The two of them carry Freddy up to the stage.

  "Hey, guys, could you give us a hand lifting the other three up here?" Phone Guy asks. Jim and Henry nod and start lifting up Chica to carry up to the stage. After about 20 minutes, they get the rest of them up. Jim is sweating like a pig "Hey, I'm gonna head off now. I was supposed to be off about an hour ago." He says, and Henry nods and gives him the go ahead to leave. Henry and Dave look at each other, and then as if Henry is disgusted, he walks back into his office. "Well that wasn't very nice." Dave says, as he walks into the backroom once more. Phone Guy is left alone at the dining room. With nothing to do, he pulls out a chair from one of the tables and sits there, staring at the animatronics. Something isn't right about them, but he just can't figure out what. Why would they be programmed to rip their own head off? They wouldn't be.

  Phone Guy is now asleep sitting in the chair. All of a sudden he sees Freddy jump out at him and scream. Phone Guy wakes up all of a sudden looking around. "Oh… it was just a dream." Phone Guy said, as William Afton walks by him and sits at the chair next to him. "So, how we doing?" He asks, as Phone Guy rubs his eyes. "Doing fine, doing fine." Phone Guy responded with, and William smiles "Good, good. Did I scare you?" William says with a bigger smile. "No, no. Just had a… bad dream." Phone Guy says groggily, William looks intrigued "Tell me, what was in your dream? Not trying to be weird or anything. Just find this stuff interesting." Phone Guy laughs "Wasn't a very long one for how long I was out. Just me, sitting where I am now. Then bam, Freddy jumps at me. Screaming." Phone Guy says, still kinda freaked out by it. "You know, sometimes dreams can tell the future." William says, while Phone Guy looks at him quite oddly. "No matter, you're fine now, and we open up in 15 minutes! Let's get going!" He says as he claps and Phone Guy slowly stands up. "Just between you and me, keep your eyes on the slacker son of mine. I feel like he's going to mess things up for all of us." William says, as Phone Guy questions him by asking "Wait, what do you mean?" William has a serious look on his face now. "Just make sure he doesn't get away with anything." William then walks away, and to Henry's office.

  The place opens up, and it's even more packed than the day before. Phone Guy stands at the front and watches as he's supposed to do, and also keeps his eyes on Charlie. Charlie is just running around with her friends again. Dave is also standing at the dining room again, not standing anywhere near the animatronics again. Freddy seems to be working fine now though, no ripping off his head action. Phone Guy is curious about what happened still though. All of a sudden, Charlie walks up to him. "Uh… sir. We don't have any more tokens. Would you care to give us some?" She asks, Phone Guy smiles and nods his head. He loves making children happy. "Sure, sure!" He says as he pulls out his wallet and walks to the front desk with Charlie. He gives them some cash and they give him about 150 tokens. "Thank you!" She says, as Phone Guy smiles and watches as she runs off to play with her friends. He then walks back to his position and keeps watching her. He glances back up at the dining room, and Dave is completely gone. Huh, he disappeared fast he thought.

  A few minutes pass, Dave still isn't back. Phone Guy decides to check out where he went. He starts walking towards the dining room, when all of a sudden the lights start flickering and every one begins to look around. Some lady screams. The lights go back to normal and Dave runs out of the restroom a few seconds later. "Huh, what was that?" Dave asks Phone Guy. Phone Guy shrugs and then looks to see where the lady's scream came from. He looked over and saw Foxy standing right in front of a woman. Phone Guy and Dave both run over to her. "Are you ok?" Phone Guy asks, as she nods her head and walks away. She goes to sit down at one of the bottoms and holds her head. She looked quite distraught. Foxy then all of a sudden starts shaking. "I can't." Dave says, as he walks away and Foxy stops shaking. Phone Guy looks at Dave as he walks away, back into the back room. Something isn't right around here. Phone Guy motions for one of the other employees to come over and help him take Foxy back to Pirate's Cove, the employee walks over and the two of them carry Foxy back to his area.

  It's closing time now, and Phone Guy still wonders what happened earlier. The lights wouldn't have just done that out of thin air and fixed itself. Somebody was behind it. He doesn't know who. The only suspects are one of the other employees, Henry, or William. Dave couldn't hav
e done it, has was in the restroom the entire time. How did Foxy get out there so fast too? It was like a flash and he was in front of that woman. No matter, it's closing time now. Phone Guy opens the door for all the employees as they all walk out. Henry walks out carrying Charlie, and nods with a smile at Phone Guy. William walks out without saying anything. Then Dave walks by, and looks at Phone Guy. "Thanks for the help today. Thanks for talking to me too." Dave says, as he walks out the door. Phone Guy kinda likes Dave, even if he is quite an odd fellow, and his father is an even odder abusive one. Hopefully Dave doesn't go down that road.

  Phone Guy then holds the door open and waits for Jim, as Jim walks in. "Hey, thanks for holding the door for me!" Jim says, as he walks by Phone Guy. Phone Guy stops Jim by saying "Hey, can I talk to you for a moment?" Jim turns around and Phone Guy walks over to him. "So, what happened last night?" He asks, and Jim smiles. "Oh, you're into that kinda paranormal stuff, aren't you?" He asks, as Phone Guy looks at him quite oddly and responds with "Yeah… sure. I just wanted to know what happened." Jim laughs and then says "Alright, here's basically it. All night I heard these weird noises. Nothing really happening. Then I see Freddy off the stage. Lights flashing and every time they flash he moves. Then all of a sudden, he's right in front of one of the cameras. As if he's looking at me. He starts ripping his head off as the lights start flashing violently. It then comes completely off. Then one last flash happens and all of the other animatronics are standing around his head, and looking at me. That's basically it." Jim says, as Phone Guy nods. "Well, good luck on your shift tonight. Hopefully nothing weird like that happens again. Jim nods and smiles "Yeah, yeah. I hope so too. I want to be able to sleep." Jim walks away and into the office, and Phone Guy walks out and locks the door.

  Phone Guy sits in his car in the parking lot for a few moments, trying to think of what all happened today. A lot of weird things that can't be explained, that's what. A story of abuse, animatronics moving on their own, lights flashing, weird conversations. All of it, all today. Phone Guy started the car and drove off. Things aren't really going good, Phone Guy thinks. If things don't get better soon, things are going to end up like they always do. Murder.
