AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Epilogue

He had hope every time a new night guard was hired. Was it him? Was he finally going to see his father after all these years? Yet, time and again, Mike was disappointed. Each time he made it into the security office to check, Mike discovered that the person behind the badge was not William Afton.

It made him angry and he felt hurt. Was his father just going to let him rot away in that suit? Even after all he did for him? The poor security guards; they never knew what hit them. Mike would sneak into the security office and scare the daylights out of the poor sap who was just trying to earn a paycheck. Most quit after one night; the daring ones stayed for a second, thinking that he was just a malfunctioning animatronic and the scare was just a fluke.

Becoming desperate, he tried reaching out to the security guards, but they couldn't understand him like Sam or Jeremy did. They couldn't even make out a simple "help me." Then again, it did take Jeremy and Sam quite a while to learn to completely understand him as his body continued to deteriorate and it became more and more difficult to speak clearly. Mike did his best to express that he was still there, waiting, watching.

Sitting in one of the side rooms, just off of the security office, Mike could hear the phone ring and the sound of some dude's voice over the speakers. He sighed; he missed Scott's voice. Phone Guy genuinely cared about the company; this "Phone Dude," as he called him in his head, was interested in Fazbear's Fright in a more ghoulish way. If only he knew the true tragedies that had occurred behind these walls...then again, it was probably better that he didn't. The last thing Mike wanted was for some gossip tabloid to catch wind of him and plaster him on the front cover of every paper across the country. Nope. That wouldn't do.

Phone Dude went through his usual spheal about the horror attraction, with Mike being able to nearly repeat word for word what he said. Once Phone Dude finished his message, Mike would let the new security work for a few hours before making his way to the office to scare him off. It wasn't something he enjoyed, but it was a necessity. He needed to get his father to Fazbear's Fright. And fast. He wasn't sure how much longer he could take being stuck in this suit. It was slowly driving him insane.

Mike couldn't recall the first time he hallucinated one of the animatronics. First it was Foxy. Then he saw Freddy, then Chica. They were all withered and even scarier than when they were hunting him. With this new development, Mike wondered if he would even make it long enough for his father to arrive.

Deciding it was enough time, Mike got up from where he had been sitting and made his way toward the security office. The guard didn't either seem to notice him, or he just didn't care, as no audio was played over the speakers. Mike was relieved since the audio could cause the Golden Bonnie suit to have a mind of its own and it would force him to go toward the sound of the children. Of course, the one part of the suit's programming that was still functional was an annoying one.

He reached the office doorway without issue. Mike hung around outside, out of sight of the security guard, waiting for a good moment to slip into the office and scare the new hire. Peeking into the doorway, Mike, ironically, was the one who had the fright.

"Fa-father?!"
