"We're trapped" you stated.
Mike walked up to the door and tried to open it, or do something for it to move slightly, but it didn't budge "Shiiiiiit"
He turned to face you "What are we gonna do?"
You exhaled "Do you have a cell phone?"
"It's back in the office" he replied.
You both headed back to the office, with no way out of the building.
Once you got there, he checked his phone. He tutted "No bars. At all" He waved it around in the air frantically.
You sighed and pulled your phone out of your pocket. "Me either" you shook your head. "And its about to die too" It was on 6%.
"And I left my damn charger in the car" you mentally facepalmed. "Not like they have any plug sockets anywhere" Mike muttered.
"Oh yeah, what's that then?" you pointed to a socket just behind the camera monitor. He rolled his eyes.
You grabbed your bag that was on the desk, and rummaged around for a Snickers bar. As you were searching, you realised something was wrong with the pepper spray and the taser.
You picked them out of your bag and set them on the desk, then it dawned on you. The pepper spray had been crushed, and you could physically no longer spray anything out of it, and the batteries had been taken out of the taser.
"What the fuck?!" you cursed.
"What's up?" Mike asked.
"My pepper spray has been destroyed! And the batteries were taken out of the taser!" you exclaimed, shocked.
He inspected them both. "He must have done this while we were running around like headless chickens"
You sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time this night "At least he didn't take the hairspray"
"Oh yeah I forgot to ask you about that" he said "What's with the hairspray?"
"A girls gotta be prepared for a hair disaster" you shrugged. He stared at you in disbelief "You gotta be kidding me"
You scoffed "Of course I fucking am, I'm not Cher Horowitz" You then pulled the lighter out of your pocket and flicked it open "Take a guess"
"Good idea" he admitted.
You clicked it shut, stuffing it back in your pocket "I know right. It's because i'm amazing"
He smiled sarcastically as you quoted him from earlier. You chuckled.
He collapsed on the swivel chair as you sat on the desk in front of him as you discussed what to do next.
"Hey I just realised" you started. He gestured for you to continue "He couldn't have been locked in that room you guessed he was in. How would he have boarded up the doors if he was locked in there? Yeah, he might be strong enough to break it down, but we would've heard it, right?"
He nodded "Right. He's probably roaming the halls now. Also, why hasn't he come here yet to get us or something? My guess is that he's taunting us"
You nodded in agreement.
"Hey, I just realised" he started. You gestured for him to continue. "I never even got your name" He chuckled to himself.
"Fucking hell, your thinking about that now?" you teased, smirking.
"Shut up! I can't be trapped in a building for God knows how long with a woman I never even asked the name of. I cant just call you "woman" or something" You both laughed at that.
"Fine, fine. It's Y/N" you said.
"Y/N" he repeated quietly. There was a second of silence "Hm" he said, tilting his head.
"What? What's wrong with my name?" you questioned, making him laugh.
"Nothing, nothing. It's just, my Aunt is called Y/N" he stated, holding back a smirk.
"Shut your damn mouth" you pointed at him, a small smile creeping on your lips. You both laughed out loud.
Your laughter died down quickly, followed by a moment of silence.
Silence that was quickly interrupted by a loud beeping coming from a monitor next to the entrance of the office. It sounded like a siren or an alarm, but it was flashing red.
You shared a worried look with Mike, as you both got up and headed towards it.
At the top of the monitor, there were words written in a neon green that said System Restart Menu.
Below it, we're three options:
-audio devices
-camera systems
-ventilation
And underneath, it wrote Reboot all. What was concerning, was that the Ventilation option had the words Error written in red next to it.
"System Restart Menu?" you questioned aloud.
"What do we do about that?" Mike pointed to the Ventilation error but his finger brushed against the screen, tapping it gently.
The word Error was replaced by three dots, like ellipses, like it was loading or something.
After about 10 seconds, the flashing red lights stopped flashing, and the loud alarm-siren-like sound stopped too.
You and Mike looked around the room warily. Nothing concerning happened.
"What the hell was that all about?" you asked, furrowing your brows
"I might have an idea" he pursed his lips.
"It's a Maintenance Panel. If an error occurs in any of these options, you'll know by the blaring red lights, then you reboot them, or reboot them all at the same time, im guessing that'll take longer though" he explained.
"Right" you nodded "What the hell does audio devices do?"
He looked to the side in thought, then he went over to the camera system on the desk. There was a button on the screen that said 'Play audio' and another button that said 'Map Toggle' underneath it.
You watched as Mike pressed the 'Play audio' button. What sounded like a child's laugh played through the building. It was surprisingly loud.
"Well that's not terrifying" you mumbled.
You then rushed and pressed the 'Map toggle' button, and the screen changed. Instead of showing the screens of the halls, it switched to the vents. There were cameras in the vents.
You clicked slowly through the cameras, nothing suspicious. Until you clicked on the last one, you shivered in fear.
He was there. Afton. In the vents.
"Oh my God" you gulped.
"No fucking way" Mike said at the same time.
Afton looked the exact same as he did in your nightmares, it was scary. He looked horrible. He was in the same rabbit suit he died in (courtesy of you) but it had faded into a vomit coloured green, and it was withering away in so many places. He was staring menacingly up at you, technically the camera.
"That must have been why we had to reboot the ventilation systems" Mike stated.
"Do you think he's been in there the whole time?" you questioned, not breaking eye contact with the animatronic on the screen.
"Most likely" Mike gulped.
Afton tilted his head. He knew you were watching him.
All of a sudden, he reached his hand out towards the camera and must have turned it off, because the screen went static.
You heard a banging, like someone was moving about. You could hear him moving about in the vents.
The camera then switched backed on, as if on its own.
And he was gone.
