"You came here to see me sir right......?"
"Yeah kid, Its late I know, sorry for waking you up......I'm truly sorry about all of this Theodor.......If I could have done this at a better time I would have..."
*Indistinguishable*
"Here, I want you to have this"
"What is is sir....?"
"It doesn't amount to much, just a drop in the bucket, but it will ease the process for you."
"What process-"
"Just take it and drink it. It will serve as a crutch.....your a good kid and I know you wouldn't take drugs......but imagine it like the red mist from your catnap toy......but it gives you good dreams instead of nightmares, at least for a short while...."
"You-"
"You know I won't be here for you for a while.....most of the scientists are bad men.....they don't like people like me.....Your deserve some rest before you wake up...."
CRAsh!

Playtime Co/ Playcare/ July 8th/ 1995 / 12pm/ Midnight/ 1 month before the Hour of Joy/ Head of Playtime Co's security POV
Green gently begin his slow walk through the now dark playcare, all the children should be asleep by now, no its a definite, however there was an incident that occurred near the playcare that has he security staff already on some degree of alert. He passes by the last of the houses in playcare, their colorful exterior being something Green always found eerie compared to the inner workings of the operation the company ran.
It was plastic, fake, and child like, the public ate it up well so business, was business. As much as the company stock was lowering and there where some hard times here and there sales where doing ok, Leith Pierre would have something to say if he voiced his thoughts out loud though. To his boss the company was failing, it was in a downwards spiral and needed more of a way out.
He'd already helped pack up doctor Sawyer a few months back as much as the head of the security vouched against the decision, it was one thing to have hundreds maybe even thousands of employees running through the computers, security camera's, data bases, and such, but to give that all to one man, that was dangerous. Leith had assured him however he'd give Green and the playtime co security and cyber security the firewalls necessary to contain Sawyer and make sure he didn't do anything dangerous.
Nathanael Green slowly opened the door he had made his way to, it was the door to the observation room where the general storage room containing tapes, files, and anything the scientist considered important stored anything related to play care in. Green gently pulled out a cigerette and gently brought it to his mouth taking a small smoke before gently snuffing out the cigerette as he looked up at the stares leading to the observation room.
The janitorial staff had done the work just fine as the wall and stair well was nice and clean. Green took a couple steps up the stairs as he walked at an even base, the radio attached to his security belt blaring on an off on occasion as some of the security staff already at the seen communicated what they needed or didn't need.
Once he made it to the top Green felt somewhat relief in the fact the light inside the room was on and the man gently brough his thumb across his weekend beard, he needed to shave at some point. When he opens the door several heads swing in his direction, the first thing that catches Greens attention is the body of the dead scientist on the floor.
The body is currently surrounded by a couple of security guards who are looking over what seems to be a clean cut stab wound to the heart, there's also a growing pool of blood coming from the body. One of the security personnel walks up to him immediately, gun holstered as he adjusts his hat with the bright red words, playtime Co Security on it. He'd always thought those hats where ridiculous but it made the security probably seem less intimidating to the kids.
"Hey sir find anything new?" the security personnel who approached him asked with a rather happyish and worried look on his face, most likely a look that occurred due to the dead body.
"I was going to ask you and your boy's the same thing." Green jokes letting a small chuckle escape his mouth before his attention turns over to the body once more. The security member nods his head and gently escorts him over to the body.
"We don't know much outside of what we radioed into you. One of the tapes, the last one of Catnap before he became....you know catnap went missing, and we also found a body not to far off from the theft. We doubt the body was dragged here. Scientist either got jumped when the theft was happening or walked in, saw the wrong thing, and got killed off by the thief while trying to stop him in the act. The security cams are dead also which makes this entire situation even fuzzier."
"You sure it wasn't one of the toys that did this, we've had escapes before and some of them art smart enough to take things with them?" Green questioned as he raised his eyebrow.
If this was just an escaped toy it made his job easier and he didn't have to particularly intervene before security caught said toy. If it was an employee heck even and outsider that did this, it made the entire scenario much, much more complicated. If its the latter he'll probably need a drink to clear his head of the colossal fuck up the company may face considering an confidential tape was just stolen, easily might he add.
"I got a couple questions for the scientific staff of Playcare, and the security of playcare as well cause if this wasn't a toy, and I have a gut feeling it wasn't considering the stab wound seems to have been done by a sharp object....maybe knife? Either way if someone, employee or outsider got a hold of a confidential tape this easily, the scientists and security staff of this place have a lot to answer for and Leith Pierre will have my fucking neck if this tape stays missing for more than a day....." Green says as he feels a sigh coming in.
"Sir aren't you going to-" Green cuts him off immediately
"I won't be sticking around here for long, the security and scientific staff of Play care have a bit to answer for considering this potential fuck up on our hands." Green remarks with a frown as he begins to exit through the door.
Leith Pierre will most certainly not be pleased with him, but he'll make it through fine, the scientists and security of this wing....Playcare......some will definitely go "Missing" by the time this is over.

Heads.
The player gently flips the coin he holds in his hand once more quickly moving his knuckles so it lands on the left one this time. He then moves his knuckles again as he flips the coin once more. Its past arrival time and the train is late, much to the players annoyance. The fact that there no sign of it bothers him, there no telling how long it will take for him to get where he wants to go at this rate.
The player slowly moved his head and takes a peek as his body leans on the edge of the plate form, one wrong step and he falls down into the tracks and probably will have to climb out. Behind him, people come and go, some walking with there adopted children to the play place (He can already here the noise coming from that internal area) others going up and down the stairway leading down to this place or away from it.
The player is not alone in the train station platform, there are a couple more employees, some members of security in particular seem to be planning to take the train down to the lower levels of the facility, then maybe hitch a ride to play care. Then there are low level employees like himself, working here for a days work and a days pay, not having the sustainability to adopt a kid while there already financially struggling themselves.
Playtime Co has actually something of an apartment complex for people like him, they have their own rooms, get food at low prices, however they have to work an extra 2 hours and maybe even into the night compared to the other low level employees, the teenagers who do this just for there summer job. He was a teen once, just 2 years ago, but he never found a reason not to leave playtime co (A line of thought he now deeply regretted).
The Player looks back up at the board above him, in child like letter formatting its written that the train is supposed to arrive at 8:10, its 2 minutes.....He checks his watch he bought at the grift shop, there are some googly eyes on it that stare back at him in a manner he's always found creepy....The train is now 5 minutes late.
Some of the people besides him are one their phones, he could buy one himself but he isn't in the mood to give away a lot of his hard earned money for one. Some are calling family or something, others are reading the newspaper funnily enough instead of being on there phones. There necks bent in an rather humorous way as they look at there same old boring tabloids.
He's managed to get and off day so he's taking the train up to the higher levels to then take a bit of time off from the factory, its always nice when he gets days like these even if the player knows he doesn't actually do much outside of work. In the distance as he looks down the tunnel he can make out the shape of the approaching train causing him to lean his body back to normal
The player breaths out a sign of relief as he gently brushes his janitors uniform a little bit as the train arrives. He, a couple of the employees, and even some children and there parents step in finding there seats in the train. He gently shuffles his hand through one of the under pockets of his uniform finding the tape nice and safe, and most importantly unnoticeable through his pocket from the outside eye.
The player takes a small sigh of relief.
"One small victory at a time" The player thinks to himself.
