Tim looked through the cameras, winding up the music box from time to time. Ashton looked out of the door and into the main hallway, catching a glimpse of something purple behind Foxy. "Ashton, what're you doing?" Mari asked, looking at Ashton curiously. Ashton didn't reply. He walked out into the hallway, following the flash of purple he saw just a few seconds before. "Follow me..." The strange, purple man beckoned Ashton to approach him. Ashton was hesitant but followed the man anyway, knowing full well that his curiosity had gotten the better of him.

"That's right," the stranger said with a wicked smile. "Follow..." He repeated, but Ashton didn't follow this time. He looked at the man, fear and curiosity glinting in his eyes. "Who are you?..." He asked, but before the man could reply a brilliant flash of light shown in the distance, heading towards him and the man. The stranger emitted an annoyed growl, turned, and ran off into the shadows.

"Who's there?" Ashton asked, shielding his eyes from the flashlight that eventually dimmed down. "The better question is, who are you?" Someone said, emerging from the shadows. "A-Ashton... Ashton Martinez..."

"Oh. You're one of the new night guards I'd guess?" The guy said, looking at Ashton. "The name's Mike Schmidt." Mike said, turning off the flashlight. "Who was that you were just talking to?"

"I... I don't know." Ashton admitted. Ashton hadn't known why he had followed the man out to the Parts & Service room, but he didn't want to think about it now. "You should probably go back to the office, kid. This hallway's dangerous, crawling with those abominations people call animatronics. I'll tell ya, this place isn't safe..." Ashton nodded, turning around to head back to his friends. But before he did, Mike grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. He was holding a poster with someone named Vincent on it, with a picture to indicate the man's identity. "If you see this man, tell me or Jeremy." He said rather quickly. "But why-?" Ashton was getting confused. "Just tell us. Otherwise this guy will strike again." Mike handed Ashton the poster, walking away back into the shadows.

When Ashton turned around to head back, the clock chimed 6 am, telling him that work was over for now. Tim, Mari, and Ender walked out, looking at Ashton. "Where were you?" Tim asked in an angered but worried tone. "I... I'll tell you all on the way home."
