Why would he be hiding anything? I’m sure that, if you’re from around here, you’ve heard of the somewhat recent happenings with [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza]].

->''"Even serial killers live next door to somebody. Tough pill to swallow, I know, but it's true. If I've learned anything, it's that people hardly ever let you know who they really are. Just past the manicured lawns and friendly waves, inside any house, even the one next door, anything could be happening and you'd never know. And that's the thing about this place, it all might seem normal and routine, but the truth is the suburbs are where the craziest shit happens. You never know what might be coming around the corner."''
