I watched the kids, jumping slightly as Dan came barrelling into the room, coming to a stop behind me. They peeked out around my side comically, eyes wide as they watched the direction they'd just come from.

"Dan? What's up?" Their hazel eyes were glassy as they looked up at me.

"He's here. Roman's here." I looked at the doorway, eyes widening as I realized what exactly that meant. I ran through a list of who else was working before placing a hand on their shoulder.

"C'mon. We'll go to the break room. I'll get Fritz to watch this party for now." They nodded wearily, biting their lip.

"I've been doing so well…" they muttered, taking my hand when I held it out.

"You still are. C'mon. I'm sure Dyl has seen him by now and is giving him hell." They nodded again, humming softly.

"Can… Can we go to P&S instead? He… He knows where the break room is."

"Of course. Think you can be there with the older models? Looks like we got packed." They nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah. They're nice. Especially during the day." We walked to parts and service, being careful to avoid Roman. When they walked in, I headed to find Dylin.

"Hey, babe," he said, gaze moving around every once in a while, but mostly glued to a certain blond.

"You keeping an eye on him?" He nodded.

"I think he's looking for Dan." I nodded.

"They saw him and booked it for my party room. They're in P&S now." He sighed.

"I wish he'd get it through his head and just leave it. They're clearly messed up because of him. Believe me, I wish there was a better way to phrase it, but there's not. They're scared to death of him."

"And for good reason. I mean, he… y'know. Mike told me they sometimes can't sleep unless they're in the same room as him and have a knife under the pillow. If they sleep at all. It's been a year and a half and they still get really bad flashbacks," I sighed. "I wish there was a way we could help them."

"Me, too." I hummed.

"Excuse me." We turned to face the newcomer, blond hair falling in his green eyes. I heard Dylin growl softly, and I put a hand on his arm.

"Yeah?" Dylin's eyes fell on me as I made conversation with the very person we were just talking shit about.

"Could you help me find my girlfriend? She works here. About yea-tall, green eyes, freckles, short hair on top, shaven sides?" He made a gesture with his hand at about Dan's height. Warning bells went off in my head.

"What's her job?"

"Security, I think." More warning bells, along with a couple sirens. There was no reason for him to be looking for Dan.

"We don't have any girls working security," Dyl stepped in with. "Only guys." Roman's eyebrows furrowed.

"Coulda sworn she said she worked here as a security guard."

"What's her name?" I asked.

"Danyelle." Oh, fuck.

"We don't have anyone here by that name," Dylin piped up with.

"Oh. She also goes by Dan, so maybe that's what you guys know her as." Dylin and I exchanged a glance. This could not be good.

"Do you guys know her?" I sighed.

"She's not on duty today," Dylin supplied before I could say anything.

"Oh. Do you know when she'll be in next?" Both of us shook our heads. He sighed.

"Maybe we could pass along a message next time we see her?" I immediately wanted to choke. Why did I offer to tell Dan anything their rapist said?

"Oh. Uh, yeah, if you don't mind."

"I don't."

"Okay. I just wanted her to know that our game ain't over. She'll understand." I felt Dyl lunge toward him as he walked away, and I pulled him back.

"Leave him alone, Dyl. Not worth more blood on the restaurant's name." I glanced at the Toys, all three of them watching Roman as he walked away. "I'm gonna go check on Dan. I won't tell them what he said. Just make sure he leaves, okay, Dyl? Without violence." He nodded, and I walked off.

Knocking on the door to P&S, I opened the door a bit before walking in. "Dan?" Raspy voices hushed me, all of the older models glaring at me. Curled against Bonnie's chest was Dan, fast asleep. I sighed, whispering to the animatronics. "Thanks, guys. They must've been exhausted." Chica nodded.

"Told us about what happened and then pretty much cried themself to sleep. Bonnie was ready to run out there and kill the bitch. Only thing stopping him was them falling asleep on him." Bonnie nodded.

"Fucker better think twice about coming here again." I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. I think if he does come back, I'm gonna have a hard time keeping Dylin from killing him first. Especially after what he told us."

"What'd he say?!" Dan shifted as everyone hushed Bonnie.

"That their 'game' wasn't over." Freddy growled, surprising me. Him and Dan didn't get along on the best terms.

"He doesn't know what he's up against, does he?" I shook my head.

"I don't think he knows that I know what he did, much less you guys. Plus, the Toys aren't the happiest about it, either. I'm sure that if looks could kill, he'd be dead a hundred times over from BonBon alone."

"If he steps close to Dan again, I'll rip his head off, one-handed," Bonnie growled. I nodded.

"Rest assured, they're not gonna be left alone for him to do anything."

"Why is th' landlubber tryin' anythin' now, anyhow? It be over a year since what he did," Foxy ground out.

"I don't know," I sighed. "But I know that if Dan finds out what he said, they're gonna insist on working 24/7, if only to be around their own 'security detail,' aka you guys."

"Prolly why he came when he did," Chbraiz muttered. "He doesn't know about us, so he woulda thought that, if he believed the rumours to be true, the Toys couldn't do anything about him, cause they'd be locked in programming."

"I hadn't even thought about that." The white fox nodded.

"Plus, we all know that if Mari had heard him saying that, she woulda killed him then and there, if only from tone of voice alone. She's good at determining what people's real intentions are." I nodded.

"Anyway, I gotta get back to the party. Not a word of this to Dan when they wake up, got it?" They all nodded, and I walked out.

I don't have a song for this at the moment, but I'll edit it with one when I find one.

I have no idea where this was supposed to go. It came to me as an idea while trying to sleep three days ago x3

Love always,
