Read The 1985 Incident Page 7


  Chapter 7 – Monday

  The Purple Guy, also known as Dave Afton was waking up from a not so good night of sleep. He hasn't had a good night of sleep in two years, ever since the incident at the previous location. Killing all those children, he can still see the fear in their eyes whenever he closes his eyes. The thought of what he's done is sitting in the back of his mind. He's not a bad guy, he's just done bad things, really bad things. It's too late for forgiveness, the best thing to do is to try and forget. It will never happen though, and Dave knows this. Dave gets out of bed and looks in the mirror. He looks at himself, disgusted in his appearance. His whole face is filled with scars given to him by his father. I guess it's deserved.

  Just then his father, William, comes through the door and causes Dave to quickly turn around. "Come on Dave, it's time to go." He says, rather rudely. Dave sighs and grabs his purple uniform. He puts it on as William stands at the door and watches with a very serious, intense face. Dave walks out of the room as William hits him on the shoulder and holds his hand there. "Dave, if I hear you speak to anyone about how you got those scars, especially the regional manager, count yourself out of a job." William says with a demeaning frown on his face, Dave nods trying to hold back his true feelings. William then has a smile grow across his face. "Good, I'll meet you in the car." William walks out of his room and outside to the car. Dave sighs and follows.

  After a long and silent car ride, Dave and William finally arrive at the pizzeria. William and Dave both step out of the car, and William looks over at Dave with a disgusted look. Dave nods his head, and William fixes his face with a smile and walks towards the pizzeria as Dave follows. The two of them walk inside and see Phone Guy's Boss with Henry, which the both of them were talking to each other. William walks over, acting like he's the life of the party, although he isn't. He only comes out whenever he has some dastardly scheme or if he's in threat of losing business, or even both. Dave doesn't even know what's going on, but he certainly knows his father wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't trying to do some dirty deed. He was like this in 1982. He's here now, especially after assuming everything would be alright in 1983 when it wasn't. Because of Dave.

  The only reason Dave isn't behind bars right now is because William was afraid of losing business and his own dirty agenda. If people found out Dave was the killer at the 1983 location, then they'd possibly find out that William kidnapped the child at the 1982 location, and it would especially ruin business if people knew that Dave, his son, was the killer. The only reason Dave is here right now is because he learned his father was behind the disappearance in 1982. It's just a bad place to be in. Dave walks over to join the conversation. "You all know my son Dave, right?" William says, as Phone Guy's Boss nods his head. "Oh yeah, hey Dave. Nice to see you again. Hopefully this time it won't be as rough." He says with a smile, as Dave puts on a fake smile and nods his head. Henry nods to but he doesn't seem as happy. "Yes, I remember Dave. Hello Dave." Henry says, and Dave stops smiling and nods his head at Henry.

  He knows Henry doesn't trust him. His own father doesn't even trust him. There's really no point in trying to play nice with these guys. The only one that's likable is Phone Guy's Boss, and even he seems a little fake at times. Dave walks away and sits at one of the booths to hopefully close his eyes and catch some shut eye. Dave tries his best but he just can't do it. He just keeps his head down on the booth trying to hold away his regret. How he wishes he could shut this place down. He knows that if he does, his father will find out, and his father probably won't be as nice next time. The only way to shut this place down is to get rid of his father, but how would that happen without somebody finding out? It wouldn't.

  About an hour passes, and William walks over to the table. "Time to get up." He says, as Dave stands up and follows his father. It's time. The re-opening of this place is a big deal, primarily due to the fact nobody thought it would happen after the disappearances and murders. Dave and William meet up with Henry and Phone Guy's Boss, as they all walk side together and take part in the grand opening. Dave then sees Phone Guy walk up as his father is speaking on the microphone. Dave stops looking at Phone Guy as it's his time to walk up and stand next to William.

  After the whole opening thing, Dave walks over to Charlie as he sees her standing alone. Her father is back in his office setting things up with William. Dave smiles at Charlie. "Hi Charlie, remember me?" Charlie kinda smiles back, but she seems very nervous. "Oh, hi Dave." She says, as Dave says "How have you been?" Charlie gets quieter. "Oh… okay I guess. Mommy left but… me and Daddy are doing fine." She says, with her smile fading away. Dave actually feels sort-of bad, it reminds him of what happened to his family. "Well, I know what you're going through. My Dad and I have been going through some rough times… my mother left me with my father when I was about 10 and took my brother with her… I haven't seen them in years." Dave says, as he has a few tears run down his cheeks. Charlie smiles. "It's OK Dave… atleast you still have your Daddy with you." Dave tries to fake his smile as his face turns red. "Sure… sure." He says as he wipes away the tears. That's when Phone Guy walks over. Dave looks at him, kind-of angry that he'd interrupt things. He then decides it's probably for the best as things we're getting to an awkward place anyways. He smiles at Phone Guy and begins to conversate.

  He then thinks it's best for him and Phone Guy to head back to the office, and the both of them head back. They listen to William and Henry's game plan, while William leaves shortly after followed by Dave leaving with Phone Guy's Boss as Henry stays in the office with Phone Guy for a few extra moments. Dave wonders what's up with that. He then walks into his father. "Listen here, keep your eyes on the guy in the office." William says, as Dave looks at him curiously and responds "You mean the other guard?" William shakes his head and says "Yes, him. He seems too… curious. I feel like he'll find out… certain things about us and ruin us. Make sure that doesn't happen." Dave nods his head, as his father walks away.

  The rest of the day was rather boring. Just him standing near the tables. He walked near the animatronics once, but he noticed something was off with them. They started shaking. Violently. That isn't right. They don't do that near any other individual except him… it's as if they know. No, that can't be it. They can't know things like that. They're just robots.

  A few hours pass, and it's time to go. Dave walks out and to his father's car. His father isn't out there. His father is still inside, and Phone Guy didn't realize. Maybe he thought he left earlier. Dave sits out in the car for about an hour or so. William finally walks out and to the car. "Drive your own car to work for the rest of this week." William says, as he drives back to their house. Dave wonders what took him so long to leave, and he probably didn't tell anyone about him being there. Dave has a bad feeling about this.
