We now come back to the whole ordeal of what happened in the last chapter, where they try and figure out who the heck did the crime of murder, and Clyde for the first time since last year, have a talk with his former dad's. Enjoy reading this folks!
Helluva Loud Adventures.
(Royal Woods Penitentiary.)
April 2, and go to the meeting place for the inmates and the folks who came to see them and there are tons of cop cars there on guard, why? Because the ones coming to see them are Mayor Theresa Davis and her adopted son, Clyde McBride, while the twins from Mayor Davis are having a playdate at a friend's house and also being well-guarded by some cops.
Then the limo of Mayor Theresa Davis has arrived and with her, is Clyde McBride, the mother and son look onto the building, Theresa Davis looks to Clyde. "Are you okay, Clyde?"
Clyde nods. "Yeah, I'm fine. Time for me to see and hear what they wanna say to me."
They both walk through the gate and then the doors, and they encounter the whole crew of I.M.P are there: Lincoln, Loona, Luna, Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie and Lucy.
"Hey buddy, you feeling alright?" asked Lincoln.
Clyde nods. "Sorta, but not much in the good mood to be here, this place has a lot of dark stuff that folks have done, but I need to pull myself together and speak with those who I once called my family. So, I'm not sure if I'm ready."
Luna sighs. "Dude, we get it. Not easy trying to go and confront the folks who are pretty much the overbearing type, and the ones who kidnapped us. But, they said they wanna speak to you, and you should hear them out."
Clyde nods. "Yeah, thanks. Here we go."
They all follow Clyde and they soon make it through two large doors and through them is a large room with lots of chairs and tables and some guards by the catwalks walking by and on guard duty, and they are armed with bigger guns, to ensure that the criminal from recently doesn't come to attack.
Another set of doors opens and walking through with four guards are the dad's that Clyde once saw as family, the ones who were responsible for kidnapping Lincoln, Luna and Lucy. Howard and Harold McBride.
The two men smile seeing Clyde and they go over, but they're still handcuffed and so they sit onto the chair, and with Clyde and Mayor Davis at another set of chairs and with the crew of I.M.P sitting not too far, and not too near.
"Well, it's good to see you sweetie… I mean, Clyde" said Howard. "So, how're things going with you?"
Clyde looks nervous about this, but he responds. "Going well, I mean I am enjoying the family I have and having siblings to look after and help teach is nice too, and the cats are doing fine and now we've noticed this new pattern for both of them to like the most, which changes constantly and I am changing for the better and improving myself."
"I did make contact with Dr. Lopez and she said that my progress in change is doing quite well, that she said that sooner or later, I might not need her guidance or help and for some reason she seemed quite relieved for me to be accomplishing with this new change of family."
Then Moxxie speaks. "We know that too, we spoke to that Doctor and she said that she's close to losing her cool and her vacation time every moment you guys called her and then have appointments made."
"She really needs a break, I mean she can't be the therapist for just Clyde, Howard and Harold" said Millie. "The lady has other stuff to deal with and other folks to help."
Howard and Harold did not see that one coming, they then look towards Clyde. "Clyde, the very reason why we wanted to see you is that… We're sorry" said Howard.
"We're sorry for always trying to treat you as fragile flower, we were just so worried of someone like you getting into so much hurt, due to the fact of your many medical issues" said Harold.
"We never meant to be pestering or annoying, we just wanted to keep you safe" said Howard. "But, we were too blinded that we never gave you the chance to just do what you think is good, and we should've just been there to support you and help you with some choices."
"You're a growing boy, and not a little kid anymore" said Harold. "I wish we did see that, and perhaps we wouldn't have been too cautious and doubtful about the demons after they took in Lincoln, Luna and Lucy."
"Yeah, you two were showing so much doubt" said Blitzo. The others also agree, those two have doubted the demons for some time and it's been the sole reason why this has happened to the McBride family.
"Yeah, we know." Harold looks to his former son. "We know that we can't be…"
"I forgive you two" replied Clyde.
This surprises everyone, even Howard and Harold. "Wait what?"
Clyde nods. "Look, you two made me a laughing stock and pretty much helicoptered me for so long, my life as a precious piece of fine china is done and I am so born ready to take on things I never did, or never could do because of you two."
"You two taught me stuff that was right, but they weren't right to other folks because they are not me and not us. Other folks have their own opinions and thus I found my opinions and that is to listen, understand and help out, not meddle and annoy folks, that part of me is gone for the better."
"Look, I can forgive you, but trust is another thing that is a path not so easy to regain, okay?"
Howard and Harold wipe some tears and smile hearing what Clyde had told them, which makes sense. "Okay Clyde, okay."
"We're proud that your changing and learning so much in dealing with issues, looks like you didn't need our guidance after all, and all you needed was some time to grow up and learn" said Howard.
"Thank you for hearing us out, and we'll do what we can to regain your trust" said Harold.
"You two do realize that Clyde is not the only one to make up to, right?" said Mayor Davis.
"She's not wrong" replied Clyde. "The rest of the town counts, you guys have been a tad bit annoying to every single citizen in Royal Woods with safety and all that, but to end up kidnapping 2 kids and a teen, that's something Royal Woods is not gonna forgive and forget so easily, it was going too far."
Howard and Harold can see that they're right. "Yeah, that makes sense. We'll try and show them that were truly sorry for what we did" said Howard.
They then looks towards the crew from I.M.P. "The same goes to the rest of you" replied Harold. "We'll try and regain forgiveness from you guys as well."
"That road is not gonna be an easy task or a walk in the park, brah" said Luna.
"Clyde may forgive you two, but we're a whole new level to redemption" said Lincoln.
"We're far beyond letting you guys get redeemed, not after what you guys did last year" said Lucy.
Loona, Moxxie and Millie remain silent and look to them sternly, those three are still super fucking pissed off from what those two did last year, and Blitzo notices this. "Yeah, Lunes is right about the whole not a walk in the park thing."
Harold and Howard can feel and see the vicious mean glare coming from the three demons, they know that those three are the parents of the kids, and kidnapping them makes it feel personal and pretty much a target on their backs.
Howard and Harold both need to fix this, once they're free. 'Dang, we really did screw up big time.'
Lincoln then changes the subject. "Okay, so the other thing we wanna tell you guys is that the person who took you is gone, like not here in town anymore."
This shocks them. "What?!"
Luna nods. "The cops said that they found the tank stuck in a ditch and no one inside it, then they had to run for it because that thing was rigged to go boom, a few got hurt, but not too fatal."
"The police from both Royal Woods and Hazeltucky are going to make sure that patrols go on to look for this masked stranger who took you two" said Mayor Davis. "We're already planning to contact Beaverton to see if they can help out."
"Because the one thing we don't want is this mad person kidnapping folks and then hanging them, it's just dark, evil and pretty sinful" said Lucy.
Loona then tells them. "We do have another plan."
This confuses them. "And what might that be?" asked Harold and Howard.
"Our company" replied Blitzo. "We can pretty much have clients come in and out who all want some unfinished business for us to kill off on earth, or bring them to hell for some long waited and eternity of torture and punishment. Then we get paid in big bucks and next to my restaurant, business is booming!"
"He's not wrong" replied Loona. "We have the faces of those who died, now we gotta know where they are in hell, possibly somewhere in Pentagram City."
"We find them and ask them how they died, they give us the name of who killed then and then we out them" said Moxxie.
"Gonna get some vengeance for those below and those above, and then we can all be at peace and worry less" said Millie.
Luna scoffs. "A part of me says that damned priest from Hazeltucky is behind this whole crime."
Clyde looks to her. "But you guys haven't found any proof on if he did do the whole thing."
Lincoln intervenes. "Guys, Luna is right and so is Clyde. Even I feel as if Father Alfred Goodman is the one who sent that person to take you guys away to be killed. But, we don't have any proof and we spoke to the chief of police from the Hazeltucky police."
"They said that they're gonna handle keeping a close eye on the priest to see if they can connect the dots together, but it might not be hard" said Mayor Davis. "But we're not gonna let that man go back and forth between Royal Woods and Hazeltucky."
"And while that shit is going on, we'll be tracking down others who died by that assholes hands" said Loona.
Howard and Harold didn't know what else to say, they are feeling scared for this person not caught, and they also don't seem to like to the idea that they have involving hunting and killing.
"Well, I guess that makes sense" said Howard. "We have seen that the person is rude, mean and a murderer and we don't want other folks who are just like us get kidnapped and tortured, no one messes with the same sex relationship community."
"Whatever you guys do, I hope it works because we don't want anyone else to get hurt" replied Harold.
"We hope so too" replied Lincoln.
The hunt for the murdered, kidnapper in the mask is on, and who knows where that bastard is, but does this person have any ties with Father Alfred Goodman.
To be continued folks!
A/N: At least Clyde and his former dad's spoke and perhaps a path to be forgiven will be set for them, but will they still be family even with Clyde part of Mayor' Davis's family? No clue, and the new threat is still out there and is dangerously ruthless. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
