The Dead Awakening
Chapter 3
Welcome back
May 20th
8:00 am
It had been a long tough week at the Loud house. After hearing the terrible news of what had happened to their father the entire family fell into a state of despair. They were glad however that in the end he was okay.
In the process, they were trying to hold up the week without having their father home. They did visit him during the week. The first couple visits resulted in almost getting kicked out due to a certain amount of noise complaints. But after that fiasco the visits were normally fine.
Today however was the day their father could finally come home. The kids missed him dearly just as much as Rita had missed the love of her life. The nights felt empty without him lying beside her and holding her in her arms. She really missed that feeling.
The kids missed his presence. They were used to him being home so much that it was as if life had felt naked without him. Still everyone had been dreading for this day to come. And now that it was finally here they couldn't wish for anything more.
Today was one of the few days left for school. The kids were more than happy to finally have their summer break. Lori was mentally wishing that there were more school days, she finally realized that she wishes that she wouldn't leave so soon. If only she shared her love for school like her younger genius sister did.
Over at the Elementary school, Lincoln and Clyde were settling down in their seats for class. They looked around and only saw half the class today. It seems like it was no different than last week.
Lincoln looked over to where Girl Jordan was sitting.
"Hey Girl Jordan, what's the deal with the class?" He asked.
She looked over to him. "No clue, maybe they're celebrating summer vacation a bit earlier than we are."
Liam overheard and invited himself into the conversation. "Haven't y'all heard the news? More and more of them sick folks have been making the front page."
"It can't be that serious can't it? I mean I thought things like these would be short lived. " Zack added.
Rusty also joined in. "This was even worse than when the whole Ebola and Zika virus was such a big deal. This seems a lot scarier."
"You guys don't think that virus has anything to do with everyone not coming to school? I mean I'm pretty sure if it was they would've said something by now." Clyde added.
Lincoln was a bit perplexed. Clyde did have a point. After all, his sisters have mentioned that a lot of kids didn't come to school either. In both the middle school and high school. The local news have only mentioned the serious cases taking place in New York, Georgia, Florida, California and other bigger states. Michigan was one of the few states that had no cases at all.
"From what I remember they said that Michigan was free from the whole sickness. Almost every other state in the country has a few cases where people were getting sick badly." Said Lincoln.
Before the group could continue talking the classroom door opened, revealing Ms. Johnson who appeared to be normal under the circumstances.
"Good morning class, I apologize for my absence for the past week. This whole thing about that new virus caught up to my parents. I went over to visit them. So far they're alright. But anyways let's finish off our last few days of fifth grade together shall we?"
Lincoln was a bit relieved that Ms. Johnson was back. Nothing like having the teacher back after a whole week of having different substitutes.
Most of the past week involved the class undergoing different teachers. They went from one sub to the other and while some of them were really laid back, others were as strict as Lori. He could deal with his sister at home but having someone like her as a teacher? No thank you.
For the entire day they spent at the classroom involved in preparation for the sixth grade. This was their last year in Elementary before they would be off to middle school. While Lincoln was happy about finally moving on, he was going to miss this. He got pretty used to how things were here. But now the most he could do is enjoy the little time he had left here and get ready for what was coming.
Things at the middle school and high school were pretty much the same. As for Lori, her entire class was still missing it's entire half, but not that she cared.
They did have classes this week, unlike last week. It felt like as if she entered a ghost town. Not many of her friends came but at least they returned. Now they only had a few days to enjoy being teenagers before they finally enter the harsh reality that is the real world.
She entered her first period class and sat down through the entire time there. All of the seniors had no work left as they're practically done with high school. She sat around near Becky, Dana and Whitney.
"So Dana, which college have you been accepted to in New York?" Becky asked.
"Well I had to choose between two colleges. One called Baruch and the other being City Tech. In the end I chose Baruch. It's closer to where I'm staying so might as well go for it." She replied. "What about you Becky? Which campus are you going for?"
"I chose Delta, I'm going for my associates for the time being until I've gotten something set up. Whitney?"
Whitney perked up "Ferris State, first choice and they accepted me." She looked over to Lori. "How about you Lori?"
She wasn't paying attention. She was still in her own little world thinking about her departure from her childhood home.
"Lori? Are you okay?" Dana asked.
She finally came to her senses. "W-wha? Sorry. I was just thinking about stuff. But I'm going to the college by the city where Bobby lives. We're not too far from each other so we still have our personal time together."
The three girls looked at each other for a second. They can probably figure what's been bugging Lori lately. Becky was the first to speak. "Lori, is this about you leaving home?"
Lori looked over to Becky. She must've made it obvious for them to be asking her that. She sighed and admitted. "Yeah. I guess I'm still not ready to say goodbye. It's just going to be so hard to leave home. Sometimes I think I should just stay here and not go."
"Lori, as much as you want to do that I don't think that's the best option. Take it from me, I'm going to be homesick as well. All of us are. But this is just something we have to do. It's how we move on with our lives." Whitney somberly spoke.
"I agree with her Lori, I'm really going to miss everyone when I leave for New York. I still don't like it but I'm going through with it anyways."
Her friends were right. Moving away for college was an important step to adulthood. It's how she prepares herself to finally leave home and find someplace out in the world.
"Thanks guys. I really appreciate everything you said. I guess I still need that wake up call for reality."
"Anytime girl" Whitney replied. The moment was cut short by a paper airplane flying towards her hair.
"What the?" She pulled it out and saw the device that disturbed her. From a distance she saw a group of guys laughing.
She already knew two of the guys in the group. Steinbeck and Dan, but the third guy wasn't even in this class. He must've snuck in.
"Yeah, Real mature!" She shouted. The third guy of the group approached her.
"That plane wasn't really meant for you." He said while laughing. "It was meant for the loser behind you guys." She looked back and saw Joey reading from his class textbook.
Lori stepped in. "Hey leave him alone! Joey's a nice guy."
"He's a real loser that's what. Look whatever sister we'd like that back now." He pointed to the paper airplane that Whitney was holding.
Lori declined. "I don't think so. You're just going to mess with Joey. Who are you anyways? You're not even from our class."
"And that's literally none of your business. My class is practically empty, plus the teacher doesn't care. Why should he? We're almost out of here anyways."
"Well if you're going to stay here then back off! Leave our friend alone! Guys like you are literally a pain in the ass!" Lori strictly said.
"Fine keep it, we'll just make more. Later Loserina" He walked back to his seat where his friends were still laughing. They started to make more paper airplanes out of old schoolwork and homework.
Lori sat back down. "Who is that guy? I definitely know he's not from our class."
"That's Loki Lodson, he isn't in our class. Like he said he snuck in here probably to hang out with Steinbeck and Dan over there." Becky replied.
Loki has blonde hair almost about the same length as Lori. He wore a blue muscle tank and cargo shorts. He was slightly taller and a bit bulkier than Lori, if some really paid more attention they could easily mistaken him as a relative of the Loud girl.
"Well Loki's quite the douche. Guy literally has no respect for people." Said Lori.
"His brothers are no different. Or at least some of them. His brother Loni is a real sweetheart." Dana added.
"Too bad Loki isn't like his brother, at least then he'd be more respectful." Whitney said in venom within her words.
Her sentence was cut short by the bell. It was time for their next period classes.
The entire day was nothing out of the ordinary. They all went to class and finished through the school day. Once it was time to leave, each and every one of the loud children had been waiting to finally come home and see Dad after the long week.
Rita did in fact call the insurance company and thankfully they've managed to get Vanzilla repaired in a few days. It wasn't nothing too new but it was slightly better. The kids had to take alternative routes to school for the past four days.
Lincoln, Lucy, the twins and Lisa all walked to school since the elementary school wasn't that far from home. As for Lynn, she took the time to jog to school which was something she didn't mind. Luan, Luna, Leni and Lori took the school bus.
Today they finally got Vanzilla back home. Rita took the liberty of picking up the kids from school so that they could all be there to retrieve their father from the hospital.
Lori and her three other younger sisters waited outside and only waited for a few minutes before the van pulled up. They missed the sight of that van.
They all got in and greeted their mother. "You know I never thought I'd be literally happy to see this van again."
"Same here brah, even though it's not the best van out there, I'd still would do anything to have it back."
"So mom are we like finally going to get dad from the hospital today?"
"Yeah I was gonna ask you through text message but my phone was discharged."
That pun brought a couple groans into play.
"To answer your question Leni yes. We're going to get the rest of your sisters, and Lincoln, and then we all go to pick up your father. He's finally coming home girls." Rita smiled.
Soon they picked Lynn up and the rest of the girls, plus Lincoln. The drive didn't take long but they finally arrived.
Upon entering they saw their father arriving in crutches under his right arm, bandages wrapped around his legs and arms and a cast on his left arm which was probably his broken arm. Other than that he seemed to be the same Lynn Loud Sr. They recognized.
He made his way to his family awaiting by the exit.
"Hey fam, long week huh?"
Everyone slowly approached him and hugged him as softly as they could. They didn't want to give the doctors another reason to keep him for another week.
He weakly hugged back. He didn't have his full strength to showcase his love and affection for his wife and kids.
"How's about we all go home?" He asked. They all silently nodded, not breaking the hug.
Back at the Loud House the front door opened. The family all stepped in leaving Lynn Loud Sr. to enter last. They all waited for him by the entrance.
After what seemed to be an eternity, he was finally back home where he belongs. A place he could call home no matter how shitty the house can be.
"Welcome home Dad." Lori greeted.
Everyone else said the same thing. Their father felt something warm in his heart when his kids said that. God he loved his kids so much, even if they can be incompetent at times.
His wife walked beside him and kissed him in the cheek. "Welcome home honey, we all missed you."
The waterworks we're slowly working their way up and out of his eyes. "I missed all of you too."
Once again they gathered around for a hug. They just couldn't get enough of that.
Once it was nightfall, everyone went off to sleep. Lisa however wasn't going to sleep just yet.
She grabbed the vial that was on her desk and headed downstairs to her parents bedroom. Upon entering she found her father's glass of water beside the nightstand.
She knew just what to do. She walked over and opened the vial. She poured its content into his water. The entire liquid was clear, so he won't really notice that his drink has been spiked with something. He'll take a drink as if it were still a cup of water.
Once she was finished she left the bedroom and quietly went back to her room. She went over to her computer and opened up the camera feed she had installed. While her family doesn't know about this, she preferred not to tell them as she is simply using this to study any weird behaviors they may have.
The footage showcased her parents sleeping on their queen sized bed. Lynn Loud Sr. was fidgeting around for a bit before sitting up on his spot. He flinched at what seemed to be an experience of pain on his broken arm. He used his good arm to reach the glass of water and take a sip out of it. After he took his drink he payed back down slowly and went back to sleep.
"Success" Lisa mentally said. Now that it was done and over with, she could finally go back to sleep peacefully knowing that her plan is set to motion.
May 21st
9:00 am
Lincoln Loud got up pretty early in time to make breakfast for everyone. With his father in his current state, he vowed to take over with whatever his father needed help the most with.
He took this time to make breakfast for everyone including his father. He knew just about how everyone likes their breakfast, considering he's done this on quite the occasions he basically has it all memorized.
He started up the stove and placed the pan to prepare the eggs. Whenever eggs were made for breakfast it would usually take up a bit more than a carton. They had just about enough though. Whenever Rita goes to buy groceries she makes sure to bring at least 3 cartons of eggs home.
Upon placing the pan onto the stove, he took out a couple eggs and placed them inside. The process to make all of the eggs a certain way does take time, but it's nothing new. Considering it's a Saturday no one usually gets up till around 10.
After a full hour all of the eggs were ready. Just the way all of his sisters like it. His parents preferred to eat eggs in any way Lincoln makes them. He usually makes them scrambled just like he does for Lynn's breakfast.
Lincoln also made a plate full of bacon, something many of the Loud children enjoyed a lot. Lynn and Lana especially.
On the table there were more than a dozen plates of eggs, each made in a unique way for each of his sisters. There were also plates with pancakes made, enough for each person sitting at the table. There was one big plate full of bacon, oranges and cups full of milk. Nothing too fancy but it's a job well done.
Just as predicted, footsteps were moving around upstairs. At this point all of his sisters were up and waiting in line for the bathroom.
He took the liberty of using the bathroom when he woke up. He's happy that he doesn't have to wait in the line for today, but he can't say the same for any other day.
One by one his sisters arrived downstairs to the kitchen. Lori came down first, no surprise, since she was the first to use the bathroom.
She yawned and stretched. "Good morning Twerp." She saw the table full of food and glanced at it with excitement.
"I decided to take the liberty of making breakfast for everyone today, since dad can't do much for a while I thought why not?" He said proudly. Lori grabbed him with one arm and pulled him into a hug and kissed him in the forehead.
"You're a real gentleman you know that? I think it's really sweet of you twerp."
"Well like I said, why not?" He shrugged.
"Well breakfast looks great, thanks." She let Lincoln go and headed to her seat.
More and more of his sisters came downstairs. Each giving their thanks for the amazing breakfast he laid out in the table.
In the master bedroom of the Loud House the matriarch and patriarch were just waking up. Lynn Loud Sr. had his arms snaked around his wife's waist. When he woke up he saw his resting beauty and couldn't help but give her a kiss on the cheek.
Rita awoke with a smile on her face. "Morning Lynn."
"And a good morning to you my sweetheart." He said.
She missed mornings like this where he would wake her up with his tenderizing love and affection. His embrace was so warm and-
Wait a minute. She turned to face her husband. He looked at her with a real confused face. "What's wrong?"
What she saw shocked her. Lynn got up to face his wife. He was using his legs to kneel on the bed. His legs! The doctor said that he couldn't walk or use his legs properly for a good month or two. How was this possible?
The man was still confused. What was his wife looking at that intrigued her? He got up from the bed and stood on his two legs.
Wait his legs? He looked down and saw his legs that were once critically broken now fully functional to maintain his posture.
"Holy shit." He said.
"Lynn! Your legs! Your arm!" She started to giggle in happiness. "Lynn! It's like you're-"
"All better? Honey you're right! Haha it's like I'm a new man!" He said.
He couldn't believe it. His arm, his legs. It's like they were never broken before. It's as if he was never in that accident in the first place. He didn't care what happened, he happily lunged at his wife, making them both land in their bed all while laughing together.
The two stopped for a bit. Rita looked into his eyes and he looked into hers. The two were completely happy, and nothing in the world could ever take this away.
The two leaned in for a kiss, one that completely showed their happiness together. It was passionate and sweet.
When they broke the kiss they went in for a hug. God she missed his embrace. So warm and full of life.
Both parents got themselves ready for the morning. The two could already smell breakfast. Of course this meant that Lincoln had prepared breakfast for everyone. They really loved their boy. Lincoln was something else, he made his way to ensure happiness for his family. And that's something almost many people don't get to experience.
"I'm going to take a wild guess that our breakfast is going to be a great one." Lynn spoke.
"With Lincoln, breakfast will always be a great one."
He playfully shoved her. "What am I? Chopped liver?"
She laughed. "Of course your cooking is amazing as well Lynn."
The two made their way to the kitchen. He had one arm around his wife and she had one around him. Upon entering the kitchen they saw all 11 of their children sitting at the table talking, laughing and having a great time.
Leni was the first to notice her parents walk in. "Hi mom! Hi-Dad?"
Her siblings looked at Leni after the way she greeted their father. They all looked towards them and what they saw made their jaws drop, save for Lisa.
Their father was standing there, no crutches or bandages or casts, nothing. He stood there looking like he did the morning before the accident. It was like looking at a picture.
They all got up in glee and hugged their father and mother. Lisa smiled and was proud that her experiment worked. He was completely healed like she predicted.
A while back Lisa was still hunting around her room for the vial. She couldn't remember where she left it up until a hollow sound in the wall caught her attention. Even though the walls in their home were close to being paper thin, there were some spots that weren't. She used one of them to place special and delicate items to hide from view. Things she was afraid would be damaged by her siblings if not too careful. She opened up and found exactly what she was looking for. She was really happy, not only for finding something she lost possibly a while back, but because this very thing could heal her father back to full health and strength. Lisa knew that not that she had it in her hand, she could proceed to use it in its proper way.
Seeing befor eher very eyes that it worked brought a smile to her face and not just a regular smile, but one that was close to being very shocking next to Lucy smiling.
The rest of the kids were in complete joy. Seeing their father the way he is now was something that would take months to happen. But only after a day they brought him back from the hospital did things change.
But this couldn't have happened on its own. Obviously something or someone had something to do with this.
They all turned to Lisa.
Rita asked. "Young lady? Did you have anything to do with this?" Her tone didn't show off that she was mad or anything, but clearly she wanted to know.
She pushed her glasses up. "Yes, our father unit here is capable of standing up and using his limbs was all thanks to a little something I was working in a while back. I simply applied it to your water to that it would have full affect. In the process after you drink it, your limbs would be restored to its former self. Almost as if they were never broken after all. I simply-"
She was cut off by her father, who simply ran up to his daughter and swapped her up from the floor and into a hug. He swung her around in pure happiness. While Lisa did not enjoy being picked up, she couldn't help but enjoy this moment with her father.
He stopped swinging but continued to hold her up. "Lisa, while sometimes you may be confusing to the rest of us. Just know that I will always be proud of everything you do." He looked at her in the eye. "Just as long as it doesn't involve blowing the roof off of our house." He brought her back to the hug. "But nonetheless, I love you sweetheart."
She felt something warm inside of her.
Happiness
She hugged her father back. "I love you too father."
The rest of the family watched in awe. It wasn't everyday that you would see Lisa so emotional. And when it was it was something really rare, almost as rare as Lucy showing her happiness on the outside.
He finally set her daughter down and faced everyone else. "Well what are we waiting for? We have breakfast made by the best son and brother this family has. C'mon let's dig in!"
Everyone cheered and agreed. Lincoln was proud of himself. While his family would sometimes be a real royal pain, he still wouldn't ask for anyone better. He loved his family and they loved him. And nothing in the world could ever change that.
May 21st
5:00 pm
As the day progressed so did time itself. The Loud family were enjoying their Saturday at home. After breakfast they all watched a movie together. After that some of the kids decided to relax while some went out to play.
Leni, Luna and Luan were downstairs in the living room watching some reruns of the Dream Boat.
Lynn and Lincoln were outside in the backyard. Lynn dragged Lincoln to play some catch. While he didn't like it at all, he still did it for the sake of his older sister.
Lola and Lana were in their rooms playing with their respective toys. They played a little game called defend your kingdom. They had little monsters set up trying to destroy their castle while some of their toys played heroes and defended their castle from the monsters.
Lucy went to her usual spot in the vents. She's been having a bit of writers block lately but she went up to her quiet place for inspiration.
Lily was in her crib napping while Lisa was in her chair reading off from a physics textbook.
Lori however was in her shared room getting ready for her date with Bobby.
They both agreed to set up this day as their date night.
Bobby, Ronnie Anne and his mother were coming today to Royal Woods. They were staying at their old home for the weekend.
Her phone was vibrating. She saw a text message from Bobby
~Hey babe, Im almost there. Im maybe a block or 2 away.
-Kk, I'll be ready to leave in a bit boo boo bear.
She grabbed her purse and made her way downstairs.
When she reached the living room, she got the attention of her sisters. "Okay guys I'll be going out with Bobby for tonight."
Leni chirped "Have fun!"
"LORI!" Lola yelled. She was at the top of the stairs when Lori was about to leave.
Lola quickly headed downstairs to approach her big sister, the rest of the siblings following behind her. Lynn and Lincoln came in from the backyard to get a drink but saw Lori with her bag by the front door. Lisa came down as well. Lucy came down too but no one really noticed her come by.
"Are you leaving?" Lana asked.
Lori got down to her level. "I'm going out for the night with Bobby. I'll be back in time to tuck you into bed, I promise."
Lana have Lori her best smile, showing her missing tooth.
A car honked just outside. That meant Bobby was here. Lori turned to everyone "Alright guys I'll be back tonight. Bye!"
"Bye Lori!" They all said in unison.
She left heading her way to the car. Bobby was there waiting for her. When Lori got in he gave her a kiss to which she returned. "Hey babe." He said with a smile.
"Hey Boo-Boo Bear" she said with her smile.
"So I've got us a reserved table at that new restaurant they opened up downtown." He said.
"No way! Mirabelle's?! That place is literally expensive!" She shouted in glee.
"Nothing is expensive when it comes to you babe."
"Aww Bobby" she gave him a hug and another tender kiss on his lips. "Lets go shall we?"
"Off we go babe" Bobby started to drive down the road and on the way downtown.
Back at home the sisters were finishing up the episode of the DreamBoat they were watching. While it was a rerun, they still enjoyed it very much.
As soon as the episode ended it was cut quickly to the news station.
News 16 made its way across the tv screen. As soon as the indent was finished it went straight to the news reporter.
They could read the headline down below which gave them confused and worried thoughts.
Breaking News: New York State calls for State of Emergency! New virus spreads across the Eastern States like wildfire.
State of Emergency? They knew that didn't sound so good.
The news reporter came into the screen. He was a Caucasian man who looked to be in his early thirties. He had short combed brown hair. He was wearing a navy blue suit with a gray striped tie.
"Good Evening Royal Woods I'm John Grady and tonight we have breaking news from New York where they have called in for a State of Emergency after the new virus that had taken this country by storm had become a major issue. Confirmed reports of many people catching the infection has been breaking the scale over at the local hospitals. More than a million people have been reported to be infected. New York City had begun setting up evacuation sites all over Staten Island and Manhattan in an attempt to contain the virus. People in the New York City area had been advised to follow evacuation protocol and had been ordered to the nearest evacuation sites. Upstate New York and Long Island has also begun setting up evacuation after many reports of their citizens getting sick from the virus. Officials believe that the new virus had been responsible for the epidemic. The CDC have yet to confirm the threat level.
The reporter stops at that moment and looks behind the camera to which one can guess that he is receiving new reports from the crew.
We now have reports of Florida, Georgia, Vermont, Pennsylvania,Virginia and Rhode Island have also called for a State of Emergency. People are now being advised to report to the nearest evacuation sites, authorities have been notified and are now reporting to the locations to aid in assistance to contain the virus.
The entire news report was really scaring the sisters. They heard about how serious this new virus was, but was it serious enough to make them call for a State of Emergency? That doesn't seem right. Something wrong was happening.
Rita and Lynn Loud were behind the couch watching the news report as well. The entire thing was enough to make their blood run. They feared for the worst. What if this thing comes to Michigan? Will they call for a State of Emergency? They hoped not. The government will protect us right?
Leni was running scared. "Mom, Dad? Will this thing happen here as well?"
What could they tell her? They could tell that she was scared. Something this dangerous was bringing fear in her heart.
Lynn Sr told her daughter. "I don't think so sweetheart, I mean I'm sure that they're doing everything they can to make sure that this doesn't come near our home. I'm sure of it."
Luna and Luan were worried too. What if this does become more serious? What if it comes here and brings panic? But the more they thought about it, the more they knew their father was right. Since this was already happening in a few other states, they'll figure something out to stop it from spreading.
"I think pop star is right sis, I'm sure they're doing everything they can to make sure we're all safe." She told Leni.
Luan agreed. "Yeah, I mean they're here to help us for a reason. I'm sure things will go back to normal in a few days and this will all be something we'll look back on."
The family was still unsure about what all of this meant. But knowing that most Eastern states just announced a state of emergency was pretty frightening.
After a moment of playing catch with Lynn, Lincoln headed upstairs to rest in his bed. He got up there before the news came in tv, so he was still oblivious to the recent news. However someone else wasn't.
His radio began to go off. "Lincoln? Lincoln do you copy?"
He picked up his radio and answered. "Clyde? I read you loud and clear. What's up?"
"Did you hear the news? Some states just called for a state of emergency! My dads tell me that only happens when something serious goes on. They even said that it had to do with that new virus we've been hearing about."
"Wait are you serious? What do you think it means?" He asked.
"I don't know buddy but this is getting pretty scary."
He understood where Clyde was coming from. Something like this doesn't happen to often. And when it does it usually isn't something good. He's heard of the emergency broadcast system before, that alone scared him. Especially the beeping noises. That noise alone brought chills.
"I-I honestly don't know what to say. I guess we have to find out about all of this later. What else did you hear?"
"Not as of yet. But I don't think we'll be hanging out for a bit. My dads are getting nervous about this and they believe that this whole thing will be coming to Michigan soon."
Well we can still play video games and talk here I guess. I remember hearing Lisa talk about how this whole thing is just another case of mass hysteria. She said this should be over within a week or two."
"But when did mass hysteria ever call for state of emergencies?"
He had a point. The only other time mass hysteria was huge to a point where mass panic was going around was when they had that radio show back in the old days. They broadcasted the story "War of the Worlds" and that alone made people believe that we were being invaded by aliens. This however was a bit different. Eastern states are shutdown, the west is probably next and the central states will be soon too. The CDC are also involved as of now, nothing like this has happened to a point where it was this huge. This beats Ebola and Zika to a whole new level.
"Well give it some time buddy, soon enough we'll be enjoying our summer together like always." He said in an attempt to calm Clyde down.
"I guess, look Lincoln just be safe. Hard to tell if this thing will really get out of hand. I'll be in touch."
Same goes for you. Stay safe buddy."
They ended the radio call. Clyde's words were still on his mind however. He did have a point. Things like this don't just go big and actually start having an effect on the population. This was real and it wasn't over yet.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the chapter. It's coming real close people! It's almost here! I was debating whether or not if o should write what the Louds went through the entire week Lynn Sr was in the hospital but if I did that then it wouldn't be an interesting beginning in my opinion. I'll be turning and rotating between writing chapters for each of my stories. Just know that I am working on them. I'm just doing it all at once which is why it's taking a while. But nonetheless I hope everyone is enjoying themselves. We shall see what goes on in the next chapter. FrostbiteFear out.
