'Just Studying'
Foxy's POV
After an hour or two (or three) of browsing through all these online fancy Halloween costume shops, Mangle and Toy Chica finally decided on costumes for both them and Me.
Chica already picked out Bonnie's since they're going as Harley and Joker, but honestly who isn't..?
But I gotta say..my costume is pretty amazing. I'm glad I convinced Mangle to go as a-
Knock, Knock, Knock!
A sound of knocking coming from the front door snapped me out of my thoughts and I got up of the couch to answer it.
There standing in the doorway was Marionette, Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie and Bonnie.
"Hey Foxy." Toy Bonnie smiled slightly along with the others. I nodded rather blankly but returned the smile and opened the door wider so they could enter.
We all headed upstairs into my mothers office knowingly, as we did everyday after school and Football practise.
Ever since Mangle came out of hospital.
I shut the door behind me so my Mother wouldn't hear us if she came back inside from the garden, she's been spending a lot of time out there lately. I guess she's not used to not working, she never knows what to do with herself lately, but I'm sure she'll find something.
If she asked what we were doing anyway, we'd tell her we were 'Just Studying.'
That usually does the trick.
"Bonnie, did you bring the memory-stick?" Fred asked taking a seat on the small couch in the corner of the room with Mari. Bonnie nodded, pulling a small USB out of his pocket and taking a seat in the office chair to plug it into the laptop.
While we were waiting for the programme to load, the room was filled with silence.
Until a sigh managed to escape Bonnie's mouth, "Guys, are you sure we shouldn't tell Mangle about this?"
"No." I spoke quickly when he mentioned Mangle's name, "The last thing she needs is something else to worry about."
"Foxy's right, Bonnie. I hate lying to her, but Mangle's better off not knowing about this, Freddy, Chica and TC agree." Marionette said looking at Bonnie with regretful eyes.
Yeah, the others know too. Sometimes they join our little 'Studying' sessions but it's mostly just me and the guys, except Freddy who's usually too busy helping his parents with the restaurant. Or eating Pizza.
"I-I guess..I just feel bad doing-" He started,
"Feel bad for doing what? Doing the Cop's job for them since they only lead they have from that night is a baseball bat?" I snapped at him slightly, which I immediately felt bad for,
"Sorry Bonnie..But if we're gonna catch Springtrap or whoever the heck this guy is, we're gonna have to do it ourselves."
Bonnie gave me an understanding look and smiled,
"I get it, Foxy. Well get him, don't worry."
A small BEEP came from the computer which caught mine and everyone else's attention.
We all got up and huddled around the computer screen, except Bonnie who was already positioned in front of it.
Notes and pictures from the night of the break in appeared on the screen, along with lists of employees from the Taxi company that gave Mangle a 'Lift home' the night she stayed over mine after studying, Newspaper articles and possible connections people may have to Springtrap which might prove he was the one who's been threatening Mangle.
Mari placed the letters that were sent to Mangle from the guy/Springtrap on the desk in front of us, which She finally gave to Him after he convinced her that the Police needed them for 'evidence.'
"Why would Springtrap do this you guys?" Toy Bonnie asked seriously, looking over the letters along with me and Fred while Mari and Bonnie looked over the list of Taxi-Drivers together,
"Because he's a psychotic bastard?" I mumbled angrily and not looking up from the pile of letters,
"I understand he must've been angry at Mangle for dumping him, even though he was the one that cheated on her..But to go to these kind of measures..seems a bit much, right?" He replied, throwing his pile of letters back on the desk, making them sprawl all over the surface to reveal their cryptic contents, that I didn't enjoy reading.
"Like I said, completely psychotic bastard." I spoke a little angrier and louder as I put the pile in my hands firmly back on the table.
"You guys, check this." Marionette spoke up and nodded towards the computer screen, his gaze not leaving. We all gave each other a look and quickly rejoined Mari and Bonnie to find them looking at a picture of a guy in a newspaper article who looked just a year or two older than me,
"Who is he?" I questioned and squinted my eyes slightly to read the small text beside it.
"That is Ethan Gallet. He works for the Taxi company, 'Redds Transport', the very same Taxi company from that gave Mangle the ride out of town." Bonnie answered.
"Okay..But what does he have to do with it? There's lots of other employees that could've done it." Toy Bonnie pointed out.
"He also used to attend Statton school. His parents sent him there because he was extremely misbehaved."
"I thought I recognised him. He always used to hang around with the bad kids in school like Vincent and-" Fred paused and looked like he'd just realised something.
"Yep. Ethan Gallet was a very good old friend of Springtrap." Marionette answered.
"So he might've been the one that drove Mangle back that night..He did have access to the Taxi and he probably owed Springtrap a favour, so it might explain why he'd be willing to." I said, looking up from the computer screen.
"Bingo." Bonnie said proudly, sitting back into the office chair with crossed arms,
"How come Ethan doesn't go to Statton anymore? And why is he in a newspaper article?"
"He got kicked out. He got caught dealing illegal drugs and got expelled. I guess since he had a criminal record, his Uncle's Taxi company would be the only place he could get a job." Said Bonnie, emphasising the word 'Uncle' and sounding even more cocky.
"I'm willing to bet Ethan's Uncle would gladly cover up for him if anyone got suspicious of the fact he came back late that night..He wouldn't want him getting into anymore trouble." Said Toy Bonnie.
"Guys, I think we need to pay Mr Gallet a little visit." I said with a smirk and they all nodded, returning the smirk as we exited the office and headed outside to Toy Freddy's car.
