The Deal

Chapter 9

Once Uncle Henry disappeared down the hall, I went to the left amd went up the stairs. I found a little projector room. I looked at the old projector sitting on the edge of the booth.

I have a soft spot for the old vintage things such as projectors and old type writers. I went over and pushed the button on the projector. It was obviously very old and I didn't expect it to work. That's why the loud click it made scared the crap outta me.

I looked over and down into what looked like the recording studio and found a little clip playing on the screen. An animation I recognized as 'Tombstone Picnic'.

Then I looked over to the desk beside the projector. I saw another audio tape sitting there. I hit play while sitting in the chair next to the desk.

-Everyday the same thing happens. I'll be up here in my booth, the band will be swinging, and Sammy Lawrence just comes marching in and shuts the whole thing down. Tells us all to wait in the hall.

Then I hear him, he starts up my projector, and he dashes down from the projector booth and down to the recording studio like the little devil himself was chasing behind.

Few seconds later, the projector shuts off. But Sammy, he doesn't come out for a long. This man is weird. Crazy weird. I have half a mind to tell Mr. Drew about all this. But hen again, I have to admit. Mr. Drew has his own peculiarities.-

"Sounds like a lot of things were weird around here." I said. Then I thought about the tape. "So... There may be a need to to do what Sammy did. So.. I'll keep this in mind." I said, standing from the chair and walk back down the stairs.

I walk around the corner and I found another tape I noticed when we first walked in here. I recognized the voice as the same voice from the creepy one from earlier.

-So first, Joey installs this Ink Machine over our heads. Then it begins to leak. Three times last month, we couldn't even get out of our department because the ink had flooded the stairwell.

Joey's solution? An ink pump to drain it periodically. Now I have this ugly pump switch right in my office. People in and out all day.

Thanks Joey. Just what I needed. More distractions. These stupid cartoon songs don't write themselves you know.-

He just sounded more annoyed in this one.

I then continued going down the left hall and into the room I saw from the projector room. I saw the choir of chairs and some instruments around the room.

I went over to the piano and sat down on the bench. I played some notes. Then, I noticed yet another audio tape.

"These tapes sure are everywhere." I said as I played it.

-It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm going to love it here! People really seem to love my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day.

These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs and dancing chickens. But this is the first character I have really felt a connection with. Like she's a part of me.

Alice and I, we're going places.-

I recognized her. This was Susie Campbell. The voice actress for Alice Angel. She really liked voicing for Alice.

I jumped when Uncle Henry suddenly yelled my name.

"(Y/N)! Where are you?" He yelled.

"Recording room!" I yelled back. A moment later, Uncle Henry walked in and immediately went to the trashcan and looked in. "Uhhhhhh what are you doing?"

"Looking for a set of keys that may be in a trashcan around here." He replied. "I listened to the audio recording down by Sammy's office. Wally mentioned he lost his keys to the supply closet and thought that it could be in one of these trash cans."

"Ah. Wait. Sammy's office? Why didn't you go in? The pump to drain the stairway is in there." I say.

"How'd you know that?" He asked.

"An audio tape there in the main room." I answered.

"Ah. Well. The door was locked. There was also ink blocking the door way so I believe we'll have to stop that before we can enter." He said.

I sigh. "Alright. Lets get it done."
