After a half hour of convincing, Francis and Charlie agreed to help Daniel, Bianca, and Michael on their investigation. The group went back to Daniel and Bianca's house for Michael's files, and began sorting through them. Or rather throw them all over the floor and see which helped Michael's case. He had been allowed to keep some of them after the closing of Mike and Mike's, so he mainly kept any files related to Freddy's. "How many files do you have?" Francis asked impatiently. "These folders are thicker than the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings series, and It combined!" "Oh don't be so dramatic, Francis," Bianca sighed. "Freddy's just has a history, is all." "Yeah, but, Jesus Christ, Michael," Francis replied. "I know you miss your friend and all, but maybe you just need to..." "It's all of Freddy's history, Francis," Michael said. "Not just...stuff for Mike..." "I mean, move on from Freddy's in general. It...this stuff will get to you..." "Francis, our friend went missing at Freddy's cause of his dad who owned the place," Daniel huffed. "And now another friend is dead cause of some loony who has the universal key. We need to do this."

"You may need to," Francis grunted. "but want to stay out of this! I don't want anything to do with this! It's all just bad memories I wanna forget! The only reason I'm here is cause Charlie wanted me to come!" "Hey, I didn't force you to come," Charlie replied. "I just said you should because our friends need us." "For a suicide mission," Francis said. "A mission that will bite us in our asses. I mean, look at us! We're not getting any younger! We were lucky to survive shit cause of Freddy's twice. That's two times more than that Johnathan kid, or his sister, or Page or anyone else who died! They're all dead and we aren't! How long till our luck runs out, huh?" Silence filled the room. "We..." Francis continued. "We've been given another chance. Not everyone has that."

"Shouldn't we use that chance to help them, then?" Charlie asked. "Sammy, Charlotte, Mike...all of them. We have a chance to make things right." "But at what cost?"

"It doesn't matter the cost," Bianca said. "It does to me," Francis replied. "I don't....I can't throw my life away for something we can't control. I can't...what if something happens to Charlie? Or you guys? Then what?" "I..." Daniel started. Francis sighed, and walked out the front door, leaving the group in silence. "I...I found what I was looking for," Michael said after a few minutes. "A list of all Freddy-related locations in Hurricane." "Ah, good. We need to..." Bianca began. "He's right, you know," Michael interrupted. "This...is a suicide mission. William is out there wanting to kill us, there's a sociopath who has a key...this will put us in danger." "Well," Bianca said. "We're off to search for any hints on Mike, or William. We need to do this, for everyone who died at Freddy's sake." "W-what if we get added to that list?" Daniel asked. "I..I don't..." "Hey," Bianca replied, grasping Daniel's hand. "Nothing bad will happen." "How do you know?" "I just do." "Charlie?" Michael asked. "You in?" "I..." she started. "Yeah. Francis...definitely won't, and I understand why, but...I agree with with Bianca. Someone needs to do it."
