Cassidy's Cold Case: William Afton

On a warm summer morning, Michael Afton had woken up alone in his bed. Sun rays were coming inside through the window outside and hitting his face, forcing him to turn over. The other side of his bed was empty but warm, as if someone was sleeping there only minutes beforehand. Michael sat up and looked around the room, children's posters of all the characters he had created covered the walls. "Where did she go..." He said to himself quietly.

Michael got out of bed and walked down the stairs of his home in Paris, Texas, Califordaho. In the kitchen, he could hear the humming of a song coming from a woman. When he turned the corner and looked in the kitchen he saw Hatsune Miku standing at the stove and making breakfast. She had looked completely different though, parts of her body had been changed to resemble the character of Chica. "Miku, what are you doing up so early?" He asked her before coming up behind her and kissing her on her metal face.

"I was making you breakfast silly goose! I was also going to bring it up to you while you were still in bed but that won't be happening now since you are here" Hatsune giggled and turned around, kissing Michael on the lips passionately.

Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door. Michael sighed and walked out of the kitchen, then went to the front of the house. "Who is it?" He yelled out to the other side of the door. "This is Cole Cassidy from the Califordaho Police Department! You mind if I come in for a chat?" The officer yelled back.

Afton cursed under his breath and cleared his throat. He motioned towards Miku, signaling her to go upstairs. She nodded and quickly fled to their bedroom on the second floor as Afton smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt. He took a moment to compose himself before approaching the front door. "Coming!" He casually creeped open the door and leaned against the doorframe.

"Good morning Officer!" He greeted congenially, flashing a toothy yet faked smile. "What brings you to the Afton household today?"

Cassidy's face remained stern as hooked his fingers around his belt, standing up tall and rigid. "I'm gonna need to ask you a few questions Mr. Afton." He spoke with a gruff southern drawl.

"About?"

"About the woman who was last seen at YOUR store. May I come in?" Cassidy tipped down his chin, letting his sunglasses droop down to the tip of his nose. He made deep eye contact with Afton. The other man gulped, uncomfortably shifting his weight to either leg.

"Come right in Officer. And please, take your shoes off."

The two men entered the house which was homely and quaint. Mr. Afton made a good amount of money from his business but he always loved the simplicity of his home. While they walked in, the scent of bacon and eggs wafted from the kitchen to the living room where the two stood. Afton led him to the dining room where they sat at opposite ends of the dinner table.

"Sorry for interrupting your breakfast, Mr. Afton." Cassidy tipped his hat, resting his elbow on the back of his chair as he leaned back. "So, do you live alone?" He asked.

"Yes. It's just me myself and I." Afton responded before realizing his mistake. He looked behind Cassidy at the counter where two sets of plates and utensils were out. Shit. Miku had gotten the table ready.

"Heh, a table for two, eh?" Cassidy remarked slyly. Afton realized he fucked up and the only way out of this is to either fess up or bullshit the fuck out of it. He decides to bullshit the fuck out of it.

"Well you see, Officer Cassidy, I do this thing where I set up a table for two just incase somebody else may join m-me!" Afton replied, trying to see where he can take this.

"Incase?" Cassidy questioned. "What you think someone's going to barge in one day and say 'I'll have some breakfast with a scrawny middle aged man?'" Afton starts to sweat and feels like his attempt at bullshitting was failing.

Cassidy tunes in on his walkie-talkie. "Welp, looks like I'ma have me a nice breakfast. Over." Holy shit is it actually working?

Cassidy pulls up the chair and has a seat. "So, what are we having Mr. Afton?" Afton feeling a bit more confident ends up doing what he does best. Being a horny bastard.

"Well, Mr. Cassidy, I think I'll pass you some ham and sausages." Afton says then rips off his Freddy Fazbear pajamas to reveal a Freddy Fazbear slutty housewife outfit.

Cassidy whistles, thinking he scored the big time like back in 08' with Hanzo. "Well Hot damn, Mr. Afton." Miku hears all of this from upstairs, going into the kitchen, Afton stops and realizes what he was trying to do. "Wait I can't do anything with a fucking police officer...he would want to go upstairs and in bed most definitely..." He says in his head before turning around to face Cassidy. "Sorry about that...I was wearing this last night for a costume party I had gone to...I just forgot to take it off" He said shakily as sweat went down the back of his neck. "Allow me to go and change real quick officer! I will be back in just a minute!" Afton said before jogging up the steps and going into the bedroom.

Miku walks over and shuts the door behind him, then locking it as well. "Why the fuck is there a cop here William" She said angered while watching Afton take off the housewife outfit. "He is questioning me about some accident that I had seen the other day on the highway...it was a fatal crash and two people died" Miku did not know anything about what she was before her death or how she ended up in this house with Afton. He had wiped her memories clean from her hard drive. "Please just stay up here until I get done talking to Mr. Cassidy, okay?" Miku nodded slowly and sat down on the bed.

Before leaving the room, Afton opened a dresser drawer and dug into his shirts, eventually finding and pulling out a pistol. "I will be right back my love" He said while tucking the gun in his pants and walking back downstairs.

Cassidy was walking around downstairs, looking at pictures on the walls and objects on the shelves. "You really do have a nice home, Mr. Afton...seems kinda big for just one person don't you think?" William stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked Cole in the eyes. "Did I hear another voice coming from upstairs William? And don't lie to me because I know I heard one" Cassidy said as he slowly walked towards the stairs himself. "Oh...u-uh no that was actually my TV! I was watching an episode of The Office this morning"

Afton walked into the kitchen, the breakfast that Miku was making was burnt now since it had been sitting for too long. His hands were shaking like crazy because he didn't know what to do. "There is a young man that has been wanting to talk to you William...he goes by Kirito, and he says that Hatsune Miku was last seen at your store before she disappeared...multiple cameras outside your building even showed the girl walking inside and never walking back out"

Cassidy rounded his way back into the kitchen with a gun in his hand. "Why don't you take me upstairs so I can see the missing girl William" Afton's eyes widened and he yelled before taking his own pistol out and aiming it at the cop.
