An Unlikely Friendship / Sundrop and Gregory - A Security Breach Fanfic

Chapter Twenty-Four

Chica's eyes widened. "Are you sure? Did she say all this to you?"
Freddy nodded slightly. Chica took a deep breath. "This is a big problem."
"No kidding," Freddy shook his head. "But first, we have to figure out how to get out of this room."
Chica nodded in agreement. 

The two spent time searching the room for some kind of way to escape. But as minutes ticked by, their small flickers of hope slowly died. Eventually, they decided to take a break and sit down for a bit. 

Chica interrupted the loud and awkward silence. "So... how are you?"
Freddy exhaled slowly as if thinking of what to say. "I have no words. Though this situation could be a lot better."
Chica silently agreed. Freddy paused for a moment before speaking cautiously. "I miss the old days." 

Chica glanced at him and something in her eye hinted to keep talking, and so he did. "I miss having pizza parties after a big show, making the children happy, the old security guard..."
"I liked the old security guard," Chica smiled. "He was nice."
"Yeah," Freddy agreed, smiling back. 

The two sat in silence again, remembering all the good memories they had. "I feel bad," Chica lowered her gaze.
Freddy twitched his ear worriedly. "What for?"
"We left out Sun and Moondrop." 

Freddy raised his eyebrow. "So? They aren't part of the friend group."
Chica was puzzled. It was as if his personality suddenly changed. "Freddy, how can you say that? We could always give them a chance!"
Her words seemed to have switched something inside Freddy and he relaxed. "Yeah."

Just then, something clicked. Since nothing else was in the room, Chica guessed that the door had unlocked. "Freddy, I think the door unlocked."
Freddy didn't say anything but silently followed Chica as she stood up and made her way to the door. She reached out and carefully turned the door handle. She was right. It was unlocked.

Chica gestured to Freddy to follow her as she opened the door and peeked out. There was no sign of Vanessa. "Clear," she pointed out before walking out and observing their surroundings. 
Freddy followed her without hesitating. "Look Chica, an elevator," he pointed.
She followed to where he pointed and smiled. He was right. 

"Let's go. We need to get to the others and warn them," Chica walked into the elevator, Freddy right behind her.
He nodded in agreement and together, the two let the elevator take them up.
