Chapter 22 - Noelle

It was pretty obvious to everyone that Sans had went willingly with the serial killers. In fact, he had even told the clown to go ahead and kill them. There was no kidnapping involved, they deserved the death threat and he picked the Creepypastas over them, that was fine.

The woman, of which Undyne learned was named Noelle, had taken Undyne to a secure location to show her more evidence about this, to give her more answers about her old friend that had gone missing. The car ride was stressful for the monster, Undyne's pulse quickening when they had been escorted by armed guards out of the car and into a large building.

They walked past multiple people in suits, all moving out of the way for their small group. The girl, Bubbly as she called herself, must have been right about the electronics, because the room she was directed to had no screens. Surprisingly, Aplhys was already in there with Papyrus, the two perking up when Undyne and Noelle walked into the room. The guards, however, remained outside the door before closing it.

"I'm sorry you three were arrested, I had all charges removed," Noelle said, placing down the files she was carrying onto the table with the others. "You three are more important than you think."

"H-How come?" Alphys asked, Undyne letting her hand intertwine with her wife's.

"These... things, are capable of things we never thought were possible, and since they kidnapped Sans Font, you are more closely tied with them then ever before." The woman walked to the other side of the room to pick up a bag containing something.

"Today we were supposed to receive a shipment of a creature that a man had managed to trap underneath his zoo. We believe that creature was a CreepyPasta," She said, carrying the bag over. "However, instead of that, yesterday the cage they had managed to catch it with was found empty, and the man who had been feeding the being went missing. His blood was on the floor, and we can assume that the creature somehow escaped and... did something to the man."

Noelle carefully pulled out a phone from the bag, laying it onto the table in front of them. The bottom corner was covered in blood, and the case was a simple dark blue color, but nothing else really stood out. There was no cracks on the screen, it looked relatively taken care of.

Well, other than the blood.

"We found this at the scene, and we also have footage of your brother inside of the zoo at the time," She said.

A folder was opened, her hands making quick work to spread out the many printed pictures from cameras stationed at the zoo. The three monsters looked down at the pictures, finding images of Sans with hooded people, surrounded by a crowd.

"SANS!" Papyrus had said, picking up a picture and holding it to his chest. "H-HE'S OKAY, HE'S ALIVE!"

"Wait a minute."

For the first time in... well, forever, Alphys didn't stutter. She was looking down at the photos with a stern expression, lips pressed together. Following her gaze, Undyne found a picture of Sans not mostly covered from the cameras by the crowd, showing a certain yellow flower wrapped around his arm, grinning at him with that evil face Alphys had grown to know very well. Sans was looking at the yellow flower, but the back of his skull was to the camera, so she couldn't tell exactly what his face was saying.

"Is that flower a CreepyPasta?" Noelle inquired, "You seem to recognize him."

"No, he... he's a creation of mine, an experiment gone wrong," Alphys said quietly, Undyne nodding. "He doesn't have emotions, so he likes to toy with other people and... and hurt them. Sans shouldn't even know Flowey, they never met until Flowey attacked us before the barrier broke."

"Why would he be with Sans?" Undyne asked.

"The flower is wrapped around Sans's arm, correct?" Noelle said, "Perhaps he's the metaphorical 'gun to the head'. If that plant thing is as powerful as you say, he could be on his arm as a way to keep Sans from escaping."

"SANS KNOWS HOW DANGEROUS FLOWEY IS, HOW HE ALMOST KILLED ALL OF US!" Papyrus said, "HE WOULDN'T LET FLOWEY NEAR HIS BODY!"

"Unless, of course, he didn't have a choice," The human said.

Something about this felt off, but Undyne was unable to place her finger on it. Sans may neverwork out, but he's not stupid. Why would he let Flowey so close to him when he was aware of how quickly the flower could break a bone? On top of it, he was supposed to be with the CreepyPastas, not Flowey. So why was he with Flowey?

"Do you think Sans was involved with the disappearance there?" Undyne asked.

"We believe the creature from the cage is responsible for the blood, not Sans," The woman said, pressing the home button on the bloody phone. "But this phone was found next to the blood."

The phone came to life, brightening to reveal the lock screen asking for a password. The background displayed a picture of Sans himself, with Sally, both of them grinning at the camera widely, as if she wasn't a serial killer and he didn't know he was standing next to one. However, they both looked so happy that Undyne couldn't help but feel bad.

She never made Sans smile like that.

"It's password protected, unfortunately," The brown haired woman explained, "Would any of you happen to know his password?"

"I COULD TRY," Papyrus offered.

Carefully, he took the phone into his hands, avoiding the small blood stain. His first attempt, the password his brother used most often, didn't work. Of course it didn't, as Undyne expected. Sans had changed, he wouldn't use his old password. Papyrus tried his backup, and that didn't work either.

"HE DIDN'T USE ANY OF HIS OLD PASSWORDS LIKE BEFORE," Papyrus said, "I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO!"

"Birthday, favorite number, four letter word in letters?" Noelle asked.

"HIS OLD PASSWORDS WERE MY BIRTHDAY AND 'PAPY' IN NUMBERS," Papyrus said, "BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE ME SO MUCH ANYMORE, SO HE CHANGED THEM."

"He seems friend and family oriented," The woman said, "Did he mention any people who could become a password?"

"Sally," Undyne pointed out, "She was a... she was with Sans once."

Undyne didn't want to point out that Sans wasn't kidnapped, none of them wanted to. If they did, what would happen? Would Sans be thrown into jail like the others, killed on the spot? There wouldn't be any mercy for him if the government found out he willingly told the CreepyPasta to kill others, he'd be considered a threat and would be arrested.

"Sans u-used the first number if it was a two digit n-number," Alphys said, "He said i-it saved time."

"So Sally begins with an S, and that would be eighteen, or just one." Undyne pressed one into the phone.

"THEN A, SO ZERO," Papyrus said, clicking the next one.

"Then she has two L's in her name, which would both be eleven, so one again," Undyne said, Papyrus clicking the one again.

"A-And Y," Alphys said, "Twenty-four. Two."

Password incorrect.

"Did he mention any other people?" Noelle asked.

"W-Wait, this is an electronic device, d-didn't you say those were dangerous?" Alphys asked the brown haired woman.

"Larger screens, such as computers, or a T.V.," She said, "There's been no reports of people disappearing from phones."

The group tried three more passwords. The day Sans was born, Jeff, and Jack. Each time they entered the numbers, it displayed the words Password Incorrect, as if taunting the group for their failure of being friends. After all, Sans wanted them dead.

Wait.

"I have an idea," Undyne said, grabbing the phone.

This Sans wasn't the Sans they had known before. She understood that, so Sans likely wouldn't turn someone's name into a password. Before, he cared a lot about Papyrus, so of course he would focus on Papyrus for passwords. Now, however, he had more friends from what Undyne could gather.

But he also wanted Papyrus dead.

D, three.

E, four.

A, zero.

D, three.

Password accepted.
