Bringing in Some Backup
Luna and Lincoln held each other for what seemed like an eternity, but neither of them cared; Lincoln, for the first time today, felt safe and Luna was going to do everything she could to protect her little brother. Lincoln's crying had stifled to a light sob and his breathing had begun to settle, but he kept a tight grip on his sister and his head buried in her chest, Luna didn't care though; she was hugging him just as tight. Luna couldn't help but curse herself for what happened to her brother, she kept telling herself that she is supposed to protect her younger siblings and make sure nothing like this ever happens to them. She felt like a failure. She didn't want to let her brother go, if she had it her way, she'd stay there hugging him forever, but she knew this was something that she couldn't handle alone. There was still the matter of going to get help though, Lincoln had wrapped Luna in a very tight hug and showed no sign of letting go anytime soon.
"Hey Lincoln?" Luna asked, but Lincoln didn't budge from his spot with his head still buried in his sister's chest.
"This won't be easy, but it has to be done." Luna thought to herself.
"Lincoln, buddy, I need you to look at me please." Luna requested.
Luna felt Lincoln shift a little bit and his grip on her loosen slightly, when she looked down, she was met with her brother's tear-filled eyes and quivering lip. If her heart was broken yet, it certainly was now.
"Lincoln, I know it was hard for you tell me what happened, and I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I am proud of you dude." Expressed Luna.
"Wh- why are yo- you proud of me?" Lincoln asked his breath still hitching slightly.
"Because you told me what happened." Luna responded while caressing Lincoln's cheek and with a soft smile.
When Lincoln looked into Luna's eyes, he couldn't see an ounce of deception, all he saw was genuine honesty and love; something he needed now more than ever, and Luna was more than willing to give it to him. Lincoln felt slightly relieved by his sister's words, and telling her what happened helped too, but he was still overcome with the fear of what his teacher would do if she found out he told Luna what happened. She had told him he did the right thing and that she was proud of him for doing so, but he couldn't help feeling guilty for potentially putting his family members in danger by revealing what had happened. He was still so scared.
"Lu…Luna I wanted to say something when I got home, but she said she'd hurt you guys and I…I…" Lincoln tried to get out before he dropped his head and began to cry again.
"It's okay bro. I know she scared, and what she did to you is unforgivable, but she won't get the chance to hurt any of us or you again, I promise." Luna explained in a very serious tone.
"Luna, why did she do this?" Lincoln asked as he looked up at his sister.
"I…I don't know why she did this bro. There's almost never an explanation for why these things happen, and I'm sorry this happened to you. No one deserves to have this happen to them, especially not you dude." Luna told Lincoln with a hint of disappointment that she didn't have an actual answer to ease Lincoln's mind.
Luna was glad she had gotten Lincoln to calm down after telling her, but there was still a more pressing matter at hand: getting more help. Luna had promised Lincoln she would protect him, and she was going to keep that promise, but she was only capable of doing so much to protect Lincoln. She needed to tell their parents, but Luna had a feeling that Lincoln would be more than apprehensive of telling them, so she decided to help Lincoln work his way up to telling them. The next best person to tell would be their oldest sister, Lori, but she wasn't sure he would even be okay with telling another one of their siblings, she could only hope he would be okay with telling Lori and maybe in doing so he would be able to tell the others.
"Lincoln, bro, there's something we need to do." Said Luna with a slight hint of worry.
"What's that Luna?" Lincoln asked.
"We need to tell mom and dad." Luna said with a serious tone.
In that instant everything Luna had done to calm Lincoln down and make him feel safe was undone with seven simple words, the second the last word left her lips all the color drained from Lincoln's face and he began shaking again. Before Luna could even react, Lincoln had started hyperventilating and his heart started racing, you'd think he'd just been told he was going to be attacked again. Luna was prepared for her brother to be apprehensive, but she didn't think he would have, what appeared to be, a panic attack, she needed to get him to calm back down or they'd both be back to square one. Something neither of them wanted.
"Easy dude, just breathe." Luna said as she rubbed Lincoln's back. "I know you're scared, but the rents need to know." Luna explained.
"They…They'll be…ma…mad at me though. Sh…She told me…me they wou…would be." Lincoln managed to say while trying to regulate his breathing.
"They won't be mad at you, bro. Your teacher told you that to scare you, the only person mom and popstar are gonna be mad at is her, and rightfully so, for what she did." Luna reassured.
"I…I…I can't Luna. I just can't." Lincoln said in defeat as he hung his head low.
"I figured as much, but I'm not giving up now. Let's try plan B, but I'll only push a little bit." Luna thought to herself with a mixture of determination and worry.
"Linc, I know you're scared, but we really should tell someone who can help more with this. I know you're afraid to tell mom and pops, so I was thinking maybe-." Luna started.
"Luna, please, don't make me tell anyone else. I…I…just…" Lincoln tried to get out before he started to tear up.
Luna could see that her brother was in more pain than one should ever be in, and that he was still scared of his teacher. She didn't want to, and this was the absolute last thing she wanted to do, but she was going to have to push a little harder to get him to tell else, maybe once he heard who she had in mind he'd be more open. If he wasn't, she'd have to tell Lori or their parents herself. Going behind Lincoln's back may only make him close himself off to the situation and stay quiet about it forever, and potentially drive a wedge between her and her brother. One of her biggest fears.
"Lincoln." Luna said softly, "I'm not going to make you tell anyone, and I know you're not on board with telling mom and dad, so I was thinking maybe you could tell one of our sisters." Luna suggested with a soft smile while lifting Lincoln's head up.
"You said you wouldn't make me." Lincoln said accusingly.
"I'm not dude, I'm suggesting you tell one of our sisters. It could help you feel better bro, did telling me help?" Luna asked.
"Well, yeah, it did a little. Especially since you weren't mad like she said you would be." Lincoln admitted.
"And I promise you that no one else inside or outside of this house will be mad at you. All we want to do is help you dude, so what do you think?" Luna asked.
Lincoln sat in thought for a minute, telling Luna what happened, and seeing that she wasn't mad at him, made him think that maybe telling someone else could help him feel better, but he still couldn't shake that feeling the others would be mad. Everyone of his sisters were different and have different reactions to things, Luna was hurt when he told her, but only because of what his teacher did to him and not at him. Lincoln was conflicted, but he was starting thinking that there was more truth to what Luna was telling him, he only hoped that after he made his decision, none of them would get hurt.
"Okay Luna, maybe I could tell one of our other sisters. I just don't want them to be mad." Lincoln admitted.
"I promise you bro, none of them will be mad at you." Luna assured.
"You sure?" Lincoln asked.
"One-hundred percent dude." Luna responded.
"Okay, but who should we tell?" Lincoln asked.
"I was thinking about that and I think I know the perfect person." Luna answered.
"Who?" Lincoln asked.
"Lori." Luna answered.
Silence overtook the room after Luna had revealed who she believed Lincoln should disclose his secret to next, but, during that silence, she was filled with worry that Lincoln would be afraid to tell her as well. Lincoln's eyes had widened slightly, and it looked as if he had entered a trance just be the utterance of his oldest sister's name, to him, suggesting Lori was on the same level as suggesting their parents. Lincoln, and really the rest of his sisters, looked up to Lori as another parental figure, true she was only their sister, but she kept them in line and always took care of them when their parents weren't around. Lincoln still believed, even after Luna's reaction and her reassurance that none of them would be mad at him, that his other siblings, and parents, would be mad at him, or worse: disappointed. He never wanted to disappoint any of his family members and, to him, disappointing Lori would be the same as disappointing his parents. He'd be living in more than one nightmare if that happened.
"I…I don't know Luna." Lincoln responded after being lost in thought.
"What do you mean bro?" Luna asked with worry.
"I just…just…" Lincoln trailed off.
"Just what Lincoln?" Luna asked while placing a hand on Lincoln's shoulder.
"I just don't want to…to…" Lincoln tried to say.
"To what dude?" Luna asked, a little more harshly than intended.
Lincoln finally looked up and Luna could see nothing but dread in his eyes, "I don't want to disappoint her, or any of you." Lincoln finally got out with tears beginning to well in his eyes.
Luna was confused at first, but it didn't take long for what Lincoln was saying to sink in: Lincoln had always viewed the opinion of his sisters, and parents, to be the most important, disappointing any of them would probably make him feel worse than he already did. She could relate, if she disappointed any of them, she'd feel low too, but Lincoln has done nothing that would cause any of them to be disappointed in him. The problem was he truly believed he had done something to disappoint them, no matter how much she told him that he'd done nothing wrong and that it was he wasn't at fault, it didn't seem to sink in. Luna could tell him this repeatedly until she was blue in the face, but it would be up to Lincoln to accept this as fact before he'd let go of the fear a monster instilled within him.
"Linc, I promise you that Lori won't be disappointed or mad or anything else your teacher told you we'd be if you told us. She only told you those things to scare you." Luna once again reassured her brother.
"I just don't know Luna." Lincoln said it defeat.
"Why are you so worried bro? I wasn't mad or disappointed when you told me, I promise you Lori won't be either, and she'll be able to help you too." Luna promised.
Lincoln started to think once again about what Luna had told him, and she when she said she didn't get mad or was disappointed in him when he finally broke down and told her, it did appear that she was hurt and upset, but not in the way his teacher told him they would be. In all honesty he did feel a little better after telling Luna and seeing her be as supportive and loving as she was helped some of his fear subside. He was still terrified of what would happen to him or his family if his teacher found out he revealed what happened, but he trusted Luna and knew she wouldn't lie to him, especially now.
"Okay." Lincoln whispered.
"What bro?" Luna asked.
"I'll tell Lori." Lincoln answered looking up at Luna.
Luna's face lit up, "That's good to hear bro, and just trust me, she won't be disappointed in you." Luna responded.
"I do trust you sis, and Luna?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah Linc?" Luna asked.
"Thank you for being here for me and I love you sis." Lincoln answered with tears running down his face once again.
Luna reached out and embraced her brother in a hug once again, "I love you too, baby bro." Luna responded.
This embrace between the two siblings was a short lived though, Luna knew that she needed to get her sister as soon as possible in case Lincoln decided to change his mind, and she wasn't going to let that happen. As Luna let go of her hug on Lincoln and began to stand up from Lincoln's bed, she couldn't help but feel a little extra weight attached to her person, when she looked down, she noticed that Lincoln hadn't released her. Luna found it a little sweet that her little brother felt safe with her, but she couldn't dwell too long on this, she still had a plan to execute and she needed to act quickly.
"Hey, Linc?" Luna asked.
"Huh?" Lincoln asked as he looked up at his sister.
"I need to go tell Lori you have something to tell her, I know you might not want to let go, but I need you to, so I can go get her." Luna responded.
"I'm sorry Luna, I just…" Lincoln started.
"Didn't want to let go?" Luna finished.
"Yeah." Lincoln answered while dropping his head.
Luna couldn't blame Lincoln, if she were in his position she probably wouldn't let go either, but she did need to get Lori, so she could know what's going on, and hopefully with her encouragement Lincoln would be more open to telling their parents. This was going to be hard with her brother hanging on to her like he currently is, she needed to think of a way to kill two birds with one stone. Her dilemma was solved when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, when she took out her phone and looked at it, she noticed she had received a text from her older sister Lori. Saved by the bell, or in this case buzzer.
"Hey, it's been a while. How's everything going? I'm literally starting to get worried." Said Lori's message.
"Hey sis, everything went, well, as good as it could've gone. Lincoln needs to tell you something, I need you to come to his room." Luna quickly replied.
"Why?! What's wrong?!" Lori quickly responded.
"Sis, I just need you to come to Lincoln's room, and stay calm. Seeing you freaking out might scare him." Luna replied.
"Okay, okay. Sorry, I'm on my way." Lori answered.
"Okay. Hey bro?" Luna asked.
"Yeah?" Lincoln responded.
"I messaged Lori and she's coming over, you still want a hug bro?" Luna asked.
"Yes, please." Lincoln answered.
Luna sat back down on her brother's bed and resumed embracing Lincoln, this time she wouldn't let go until someone pried her off him. If this is what it took to make him feel safe, she was willing to sit there for an eternity hugging her brother, letting him know there was someone out there who would protect him.
"Everything's going to be okay bro, I promise." Luna promised as she placed a kiss on the top of Lincoln's head.
After reading Luna's message, and sending her last response, Lori was more concerned than ever for the well-being of her brother, she wished Luna would've just told her what happened. She placed her phone on her bed and made her way to her bedroom door, to begin her journey to her brother's room, a short walk that would feel like it took an eternity. Once she opened her door and exited her bedroom, not even bothering to close the door behind her, she turned to her right and was staring down the short hallway to her brother's room. It felt like she had ten-pound weights strapped to her ankles with every step she took, her nerves were making her stomach toss and turn with the amount of stress she was under. After what felt like an eternity, Lori finally came face to face with her brother's bedroom door and slowly began to knock on the door. She stood there waiting for a response and before she could knock again she heard a faint answer from the other side of the door.
"Lori? That you sis?" Luna asked
"Yeah, it's me, Luna. Can I come in?" Lori asked.
"Yeah, dude, its unlocked." Luna responded.
Lori slowly opened the door and before she entered Lincoln's room, she peeked her head in to scope out the situation at hand, she was surprised to say the least. When she looked over and saw Lincoln and Luna hugging each other she knew something was wrong, they all hugged each other, but right now it seemed like Lincoln holding on to Luna for dear life. She couldn't see his face, but she had a feeling he had been crying by how much he had buried himself in Luna's embrace. It was enough to break her heart.
"He…hey guys." Said Lori.
"Oh, hey dude. Hey Lincoln, Lori is here, is okay if she comes in?" Luna asked.
Lori looked over and saw Lincoln's head move up and down indicating a yes, "Come on in sis." Luna responded.
Lori pushed the door open just enough for herself to enter and immediately shut the door behind her, it was clear that the conversation that she would have with Lincoln would be best without any interruptions. Lori thought after entering her brother's room the invisible weights around her ankles would've detached and her stomach would've settled, but each step she took towards her brother and sister felt heavier and heavier, all the while she felt like she was going to puke any second. When Lori finally reached her siblings, she tapped Luna on the shoulder indicating that she was in front of them, Luna didn't say anything she just looked up and made eye contact with Lori. When Lori's eyes met Luna's, she could see the hurt that her sister was feeling, almost as if her heart had been shattered, Lori reached out and placed a hand on Luna's shoulder giving her a look of worry. All Luna did was look down towards Lincoln and that was enough for Lori to understand where the source of Luna's hurt was coming from, and she had a feeling it was her turn to feel hurt.
"Hey, Lincoln, buddy? Lori's here." Luna said as she rubbed her brother's back gently.
Upon hearing that his oldest sister had arrived Lincoln looked up and locked eyes with Lori, "Hey Lori." Lincoln said in a very depressed tone that would rival that of even Lucy.
"Hey Linc, you don't look like you're feeling very well. You okay?" Lori asked as she got down on one knee to meet Lincoln on the same level.
"Um…not…not really." Lincoln managed to get out.
"I'm sorry Lincoln, but maybe I can help with that. Luna told me that you wanted to tell me something." Lori responded.
"Ye…yeah I do, but I don't know if…" Lincoln tried to get out.
Lori could see where this was going: Lincoln was beginning to have second thoughts about telling her what he told Luna and, as terrible as it sounded, she couldn't let that happen. Lincoln needed help, and from what Luna described in her text, he probably needed more help than either her or Luna could give, but that wasn't going to stop her from doing everything in her power to help her baby brother. She would do anything for her siblings.
"Hey, Lincoln, I know you're scared, and I can tell what's bothering has literally got you scared, but I promise you I will do everything I can to help you." Lori reassured her brother while placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I…I don't know if…if you can help though." Lincoln responded.
"We won't know if you don't tell me." Lori answered with a soft smile.
"I…I…" Lincoln tried to get out, tears beginning to well in his eyes.
"Please tell me Linky?" Lori asked.
After hearing his sister's plea, Lincoln looked into Lori's eyes and the tears started flooding from his eyes, and basically jumped into Lori's arms, almost knocking her over. He had locked Lori into a tight hug that he didn't intend on letting go anytime soon, and all it took was the utterance of a name. At one point or another all of Lincoln's sisters had called him 'Linky,' but they all had stopped when they had gotten older, except for Leni and Lola who did it primarily to butter him up. That was when he knew Lori was genuinely concerned for his well-being, she only ever called him that when she wanted something or was worried about him, and in this case, it was both the latter and the former.
"Woah, Lincoln, what's wrong?" Lori asked concernedly while return her brother's hug.
"Lori I'm sorry." Lincoln managed to get out through his crying and hitched breathing.
"Sorry? What are you sorry for Lincoln?" Lori asked while looking up at Luna who looked like she was on the verge of tears as well.
"For…for…letting her…her do it." Lincoln managed to say.
After hearing her brother blame himself once again, Luna got up from the bed and crouched down, "Bro, I told you, it's not your fault. She's in the wrong, not you." Luna said softly while rubbing Lincoln's back.
Now Lori was more worried, and confused, about what her brother and sister were talking about, she had a feeling what was bothering Lincoln was bad, but this was on a whole different level. She needed to get handle on the situation, because Lincoln crying in her arms and Luna not saying anything wasn't getting her anywhere, and someone needed to take charge of the current situation. There was no one better than Lori Loud for that exact situation.
"Hey, hey, it's okay Lincoln. I can see that you're hurting and, from what I gathered from you and Luna, someone did something to you today. Is that what happened?" Lori asked.
"Ye…yes." Lincoln responded through his hitched breathing.
"Okay, now, do you think you can tell me what happened?" Lori asked very softly.
"Ye…ye…yes." Lincoln responded as he managed to get his breathing under control and looked up at Lori.
"Good, now, what did happen today?" Lori questioned.
"When I…I told yo…you I had to stay after s…s…school to retake a quiz." Lincoln began.
"Yes, I remember." Lori answered.
"When I was taking my quiz, my teacher came over and started…" Lincoln trailed off, the tears beginning to return.
"Started to what Lincoln? It's okay you can tell me." Lori reassured.
"She…she started touching me." Lincoln admitted.
"Touching you?" Lori questioned.
Lori was more confused than ever now, her brother was trying to keep himself from falling to pieces, and her sister looked almost just as distraught as Lincoln did. All of this from Lincoln saying his teacher had touched him, and with that one thought, an instant red flag flew up and Lori had the worst idea imaginable.
"Lincoln, I need you to be honest with me and tell me everything, where did she touch you?" Lori asked in a very serious tone.
Lincoln didn't say anything he just put his head down, he was ashamed and embarrassed to tell his oldest sister what happened and was still worried she was going to be mad at him for what happened. That couldn't be further from the truth.
"Lincoln, please, I need you to tell me." Lori said.
"He thinks you'll be mad at him if he tells you." Luna interjected.
"What? Lincoln is that true?" Lori asked, a little more aggressively than she meant to. Lincoln just nodded yes in response.
"Lincoln, look at me," Lori instructed to which Lincoln complied, "I promise you that whatever you tell me I will not be mad. I only want to help you." Lori assured.
"Are you sure?" Asked Lincoln.
"Yes." Lori asserted.
Lincoln just looked back up into Lori's eyes and didn't say anything, he just did the same thing he did when Luna asked him to show her where his teacher touched him: he hovered his hand around the zipper area of his pants. Lori's eyes when as wide as they possibly could, and she thought she could hear her own heart shatter, but this only scratched the surface of the horrendous torture Lincoln's teacher had subjected him to. If Lori and Luna's hearts her shattered, then what was left was about to be disintegrated.
"She did something else too." Lincoln said.
"What else did she do to you Lincoln?" Lori asked with concern.
"She p…put her m…mouth there too." Said Lincoln.
"Lincoln…" Lori said in shock.
"After that s…she put me on the f…floor and unbuttoned my p…pants." Lincoln painfully recalled.
"No…" Said Lori.
"She got on top of me and and…" Lincoln tried to say, but the tears began to flow once again.
Lori couldn't stand it anymore, she reached her arms out and wrapped her brother in the tightest hug she could muster, some monster hurt her brother, her baby brother, and he was hurting worse than she'd ever seen anyone in before. He'd been keeping this bottled up all day and been suffering in silence, and she couldn't figure out why he wouldn't tell anyone until he finally told Luna. Lincoln's isn't the best at keeping secrets and normally when it's something this big he'd go and tell their parents or one of his sisters, but why didn't he got to any of them when he got home? Another answer that would only cause further heart ache.
"Lincoln, why didn't tell us when you got home from school? We wouldn't have been mad, we would've helped you literally right away." Lori said on the verge of tears.
"She told m…me if I…I told anyone she'd hurt you guys and me. I didn't want you guys to get hurt." Lincoln admitted.
It all made sense to Lori now; Lincoln's teacher had scared him into thinking that if he told anyone what had happened his teacher would hurt him and the rest of them, and Lincoln would never do anything that would get any of his sisters, or parents, hurt. Even though what his teacher told him was a lie, Lincoln was still young enough to believe what any authority figure told him, and this monster, or bitch as Lori had decided to mentally dub Lincoln's teacher, knew exactly what to say to scare him. Lori almost couldn't believe what she just heard, didn't want to believe what she just heard, what Lincoln had just told her, she looked over to Luna hoping that maybe she would say everything was just a joke, but when she locked eyes with her sister her worst fear was proven true.
"Lori, I…I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Lincoln, now shaking, said through is sobs.
"What? Lincoln why are you apologizing?" Lori asked with genuine confusion.
"Because I…I let her do…do it." Lincoln said while lowering his head in shame.
Now it was Lori's turn to break, hearing her brother blame himself for something that a monster did to him struck a nerve within Lori with more force then train at full speed. This bitch had not only taken advantage of him and scare him, but she was also able to manipulate him into thinking everything that happened was his fault. Lori was more furious now than she'd ever been, she wanted to find this woman, or bitch as she preferred at this point, and rip her limb from limb with her bare hands. She didn't realize it, but she was tightening her grip on her brother's arms and breathing heavily, her rage was about to overtake her, but thankfully Luna was there to bring her back.
Luna scooted over and placed a hand on Lori's arm, "Lori, dude, you need to calm down." Luna told her sister.
"Huh?" Lori responded when she finally came back to reality. When she was able to see clearly once again, she saw that Lincoln was wincing in pain.
"Lincoln!" Lori yelped as she quickly released her grasp on her brother, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean…" Lori tried to respond but cut herself off when she saw Lincoln scooting away from her.
"You said she wouldn't be mad Luna!" Lincoln responded
Luna dashed over to her brother and put her arm around him, "She's not mad at you Lincoln, she's mad at your teacher and just wasn't thinking straight dude." Luna assured.
"But why was she squeezing me so hard?" Lincoln asked.
"Like I said bro, she just wasn't thinking straight. She's not mad at you I promise, right Lori?" Luna asked as she looked over and gave Lori a serious look.
"Yes, yes, yes! Lincoln I'm so sorry." Lori kept apologizing.
"But why were you…" Lincoln tried to ask again before Lori cut him off.
Lori crawled closer to Lincoln, "When you apologized for what your teacher attacking you, something just snapped. Seeing that this…this bitch attacked you and manipulated you just made something break. Lincoln I'm sorry for losing my cool, please believe me when I say I'm not mad at you." Lori pleaded while reaching to her brother.
Lincoln still didn't look up and a silence had overtaken the room, Lori was starting to lose hope that her brother would believe her and lowered her head in shame and sadness, she began to lower her arm almost like she was giving up but was stopped when she felt something grab her arm. When Lori looked up, she saw her brother holding her arm with a sad look on his face, maybe he had come around, but Lori wasn't willing to get her hopes up until she heard him say that he did.
"Lincoln?" Lori asked.
"I believe you Lori, I…I was just scared." Lincoln admitted.
"I know Linky." Lori responded.
Lincoln broke free from Luna's grasp and resumed his embrace with his oldest sister, knowing that she would there to help him. "Luna said telling you would make me feel better." Said Lincoln.
"Do you feel better bro?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, I do a little bit. I'm still scared about what she's going to do when she finds out I told you guys." Lincoln answered with worry.
"She's not going to do anything." Lori responded in a serious tone.
"But she…" Lincoln tried to say.
"No. I promise you Lincoln, with every fiber of my being, she's not going to hurt any of us, or you ever again." Lori responded.
Lincoln leaned up from his embrace, "You promise?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes." Lori answered.
"Thank you, Lori, I love you sis." Lincoln responded.
"I love you too little brother." Lori answered.
"She's not going to get away with this, she's caused too much pain to walk away from this." Lori thought to herself.
Hey everybody, I'd like to first apologize for the late update, I've been busy with a different jobs here and there. Secondly, I'd like to thank everyone who follows, favorites and just looks at this story. This chapter ended up being way longer than I thought it would be, but I really wanted to set the stage and capture another moment that Lincoln has with another one of his sisters finding out what happened. I promise I will try to put together a schedule and update regularly. Once again thank you everyone and please leave a review on what you think, I read everyone's feedback and I'd like to thank you all for your positive remarks, once again thanks mah dudes and I'll see you later.
