Welcome, one and all to this little experiment. Experiment because one this is my first Loud house fic (and my first non eastern inspired fan fic as well) as well the first fan fic I have a consultant to help me out with. So please give a short round of applause to Mr. Dusk for all the help with the story. Hopefully this goes somewhere and we have some fun making it. As always if you like it reviews, favs, and follows mean so much to me. Welp since I know you skipped this whole thing in bold all I can say is enjoy!

"Lincoln! Get up!"

And with that the day began for our white-haired boy bundled up next to his stuffed rabbit. Groaning to himself before stretching in his bed, hitting the walls of his room in the process. Linen closet, not meant for anyone but the towels it should be holding but here he was, it was a miracle there was a bed in here.

"Lincoln get up!" Lori yelled again.

"I am!" he yelled back. Now jumping out of bed and rolling his shoulders before opening his door. The usual chaos of the Loud house was mellowed down for today. While the twins already arguing about hops sleeping with Lola the night prior was something any morning couldn't go without. The unusual came from Luna, strumming a softer guitar riff than usual. Almost somber yet still flowing to the actions of her sisters. Luan was practicing jokes with her dummy in front of Luna, trying to cheer her up but it didn't seem to be working. Their father was recently admitted to the hospital, some crazy man had ran up to him and bit his arm so hard that he almost broke an artery. Luckily the doctor said he'd be okay but his presence was missed. They even missed his missed his infamous family dishes! Leni had barely said a word since it happened and no one had seen Lucy either. Although the breathing coming from the vents gave a good clue where she was.

"Come on Lincoln." Lori told him again, leaning on the door while holding Lily and trying to text as her baby sister tried to snuggle into a good spot. "Ugh Lily stop it!" She told her as she struggled to ask Bobby about hanging out today.

"I'm moving I'm moving!" Lincoln said as he started down the hall. Lisa was nowhere to be seen either but she usually stayed in her room anyway so no concern there. Strolling down to the bathroom he found the door already ajar before he even reached for the knob. Then coming from the other side was Lynn, wet hair, dirty sleeping jersey, and blue towel draped over her shoulder.

"Morning Lincy" she told him, not as chipper as he was accustomed to hearing.

"No balls this morning Lynny?" he joked with her, trying to copy her nickname for him. It actually bringing on a short smile for her.

"You know I don't like water polo Lincoln." she joked before he went in for his shower with a laugh. Wasn't quick enough to dodge a shoulder jab from her before the door closed. Lincoln quickly ran himself through the shower, doubly so with Lori still trying to rush him. Normally she'd be rushing everyone just so she could get to school to see Bobby and maybe a few moments of 'flirting'. However today was different, she was rushing everyone today because lucky her didn't have to go to school. Their mom was still at the hospital with their father so someone had to watch Lily. To be honest no one else really would've jumped at the job anyhow, school helped keep their mind off what had happened.

With some fruity shampoo and a rinse down later Lincoln felt ready for anything. Hurrying down the hall in his undies, he got his clothes on in a flash and got a quick look at the time. 8:55! He swore to himself, no wonder Lori was being so urgent with him!

"Lincoln!" Lori yelled one more time getting Lincoln's butt in gear. Running down the stairs with his backpack bopping over his shoulder he saw Lori already holding the front door open, impatiently twirling her keys.

"Sorry sorry, let's roll!" he told her as he rushed into vanzilla.

"Lisa we'll be right back" Lori announced before leaving the house. The semester at the local college had ended so Lisa was done with her teaching job for the summer. The timing couldn't have been any more perfect. With their father now in the hospital she needed the extra time to balance out their budget and bills to accommodate his recovery. An easy feet but it might mean they'll have to skip their weekly goulash, a silver lining may be in this dark situation after all.

It almost seemed half muted as the loud family drove off. Sure the van was still buzzed with enough noise that it wasn't awkward but the empty noise was discomforting to the ones that noticed it.

"Just keep that slimly thing in your bed tonight!" Lola yelled.

Lana scoffing before telling her, "Well don't fall asleep with water next to you!"

"You know in France they eat frogs." Lola threatened.

"Like you would do that!"

Lana had her there. Lincoln was in the middle with Lynn and Lucy. Lucy reading a book and half looking out the window while Lynn devoted all her attention out her window. Giving a nudge Lincoln snapped her out of her little space out session.

"You thinking about him?" He asked.

"I'm trying not to." she answered slightly conflicted but her face couldn't lie.

Luna was in the first row, still strumming her guitar till she caught wind of their conversation.

"It's hard not too little dudette." she told them, Lynn only nodding in response.

"But hey mom said he's doing fine. Bet he'll be back making frank and beans in no time." Lincoln reminded them. Yet was disappointed when it didn't seem to stir anything positive up in either of them. Soon enough Luna was back to strumming her solemn tune. Lori finally couldn't handle the situation and turned on the radio, some pop song coming on with a mambo beat that filled up the dead air in the car but peeved off the girl trying to make music.

"Oy turn it down!" Luna yelled irritated. Lori only ignored her, and before she could repeat again they were already in front of Royal woods high.

"All right guys hop out." she told them. Luna begrudgingly did hop out with her guitar, Luan not too far behind her to try and keep her head on straight.

Leni was slowly stepping out of the passenger seat before Lori grabbed her hand. "Hey, text me if you need anything 'k?" she said, Leni nodding with a weak smile before she headed out. Next stop royal woods middle school, and with a third of its occupants the van now even quieter and more uncomfortable. Even Lily could notice it just now starting to get fussy in her car seat. At first Lori was thinking they were actually going to get to the middle school at a decent time and she'd be home for a binge session of her favorite shows in no time. But then the traffic came to a stop with a long stream of cars bumper to bumper jamming the road ahead.

"Oh. My. God!" Lori yelled, stressing every word as she honked the horn. "Come on!". Confused Lincoln looked out the window ahead, oddly he didn't see any accidents. Or any stop lights or just anything, only some some cop cars.

"What's going on?" Lincoln asked, Lori scoffing before responding.

"I don't know, maybe some guy's engine died out or something. Just really grea…" just then a man ran up to Lori's window. Everyone jumped as he pressed his teeth up against the car and growled. Lori was screaming at the top of her lungs, as was everyone else, before a cop came over and pulled that crazy loon off. Their hearts were racing a mile a minute and Lily was wailing her head off as another officer came by to assist the other one.

"Mame are you okay?" The officer asked as the other one wrestled to get the crazy man out of here.

"Oh my god what was that!?" she asked franticly while Lily still cried behind her. Lincoln and Lynn quick to try and quiet her down.

"Escapee from the hospital. You may want to head home" he suggested.

"There aren't more of those crazy sickos are there?"

"Unfortunately yes but we have the situation under control just…" the officer began before he was torn away from the window. The man that had been subdued seemed to have run back to them and thrashed the officer to the ground. The twins screamed again, and even when his partner had rushed back to try and help the insane man got a good punch at him before jumping him. The van erupted with screams again when they saw the man tare into the officer's neck. Through the uproar, Lincoln managed to think straight enough to tell Lori.

"Get us the heck out of here Lori!" getting a grip, Lori yanked the gear shift into reverse and hit the gas. Lincoln threw his arms over Lynn and Lucy as Lori whipped the car around and sped off, unfortunately the man just rushing to another car to terrorize.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Lori kept shouting to herself as Lincoln tried to take his arms back but Lucy was holding him in a vice grip. Lynn was clutching her chest and trying to take steady breaths but they kept coming out shaky.

"Oh my god" she said to herself while Lily and the twins were still in full-fledged panic mode.

"What was that, what was that, what the heck was that!" Lola shrieked as Lana held onto her. Lincoln turned to unclip Lily from her car seat and rock her. It calmed her a little bit but she still wasn't close to stopping.

"Lynn?" Lincoln asked half spooking her.

"What?"

"Take Lily for me. And Lucy?" he asked. "I need my arm."

"Oh! Sorry." She said letting go. Handing her to Lynn Lincoln hopped in the back to wrap Lola and Lana in a tight hug to muffle their crying. Lori in a hurry dialed 911 on her phone.

"Yeah police I need to report something like right now!"

"Oh my gosh guys what about Leni!?" Lynn pointed out.

"I'm sure they're okay." Lori half assured.

"Are you kidding we got to tell them!" Lynn shouted.

"They're at school their fine!" Lori retorted.

"I'll send them something." Lucy said as she dug out her phone, sending a group message to all of them and just hopefully one of them saw it.

Now pulling into the driveway, Lori was still on the phone where she seemed to have been put on hold. The Loud siblings hurried inside as fast as they could and locked the front door. Lola and Lana still hanging onto Lincoln still shaking. Lily was still a little watery eyed but Lynn was a master of funny faces, which she deserved a trophy for pulling off after that.

"Lori?" Lisa called out coming into view from the hallway. Looking very surprised to see most of her siblings not at school. "What are you all doing here?"

"Guys, lock everything! Windows, doors, anything!" Lori ordered.

"Hold on what the heck's even going on?" Lincoln asked but Lori had no patience.

"Lincoln just do what I asked!" she shot back. Before he got another word in, Lynn handed Lily back to Lincoln.

"I got it." She said before running to the back door and going through all the windows. Lisa looked on at the chaos ensuing curiously as she walked down the steps.

"Has something happened?" Lisa asked reaching the bottom of the stairs.

"Lisa it was so scary!" Lola proclaimed.

"This weird creepy monster tried to break into the van!" Lana finished, Lisa looked on shocked at them.

"A monster?" she asked.

"It was some crazy guy, he looked like he was going to bite through the window." Lincoln explained whilst Lisa teetered on whether they were telling the truth or writing a fantasy.

"That sounds… peculiar." She answered.

"It really happened!" Lola yelped.

"Okay will like everyone be quiet!" Lori yelled from the kitchen as she hung up her phone. The twins listening for once but Lisa looked skeptical.

"Did the police say anything?" Lincoln asked

"They like totally kept putting me back on hold!" She yelled in frustration.

"But what are we going to do about Leni, Luna, and Luan!?" Lana asked.

"Are we leaving them out there?" Lola asked panicked

"They're fine! They're at school." Lori protested.

"How do you know? That crazy guy wasn't too far away from there!" Lincoln retorted.

"It's not as if a school would just let a mentally unhinged man into their facility." Lisa pointed out.

"I sent them a message so they'll know something's up." Lucy added.

"Well we can't just leave them there, right Lori?" He asked, Lori looking a little conflicted.

"I uh…"

"We're gonna go get 'em right?" Lana asked

"I really don't…"

"What?" Lana asked again.

"I don't know!" She yelled, scaring them and making Lily cry again. Letting out a frustrated groan as she hustled over to Lincoln and took their baby sister from him. "Shh shh it's okay Lily"

"No it's not!" Lincoln said angrily.

"Will you be quiet" Lori snapped back in a hushed growl. "Mom left me in charge and I have to keep you guys safe."

"That includes them too!"

"Enough Lincoln, they're fine at school! Just make sure the house is safe. I'm going to keep Lily calm" she said starting for the kitchen.

"Lori!" he yelled again.

"Just drop it already!" she ordered him leaving Lincoln with his fists balled in anger.

"Lincoln what are we going to do?" Lola asked.

"Well we're not leaving them out there that's for sure" he told them as Lynn ran back to the living room.

"What was all that about?" she asked.

"Don't worry about it, just help me out with something." he assured her.

"With what?"

"We're going to go get our big sisters"
