Family of Two.
Chapter 524: The Drone and the Chat.
(April 15. FutureTech Base of Operations, outside of Royal Woods.)
We head here for something to happen, and that something is the arrival of FutureTech guys, Martin and Victor and the duo are busy with what they have been told, and the ones to tell them about this are Michelle Lewis Loud and her adopted daughters, Delilah and Leslie.
They are looking at the screens and it shows a recording from days ago and what they see is this drone going around the town and they see that it is spying on where Michelle, Leslie and Delilah are, eating lunch together at jean-Juan's mixed cuisine restaurant.
Then the next one shows the strange unknown drone is watching at Lincoln and Luna both relaxing together on the same hammock and are both at peace and looking calm and relaxed with their mother and son moment.
The next footage shows the very same drone and this one is spying on Delilah as she is doing some Tai chi alongside Adelaide at Great Lakes City, and then this unknown drone gets knocked over by Sancho who was delivering pizza.
Next footage shows the drone spying on Michelle and father chisel having a nice chat at the park, and then it redirects its view to see what Leslie is doing alongside her friends, Hope, Gretchen, Chastity, Regina and Jordan.
The next footage is the unknown drone watching over Leslie who is talking with Jordan, and getting some dating advice when she plans on her date with Stella Zhau.
The next footage sees the drone spying on Leslie as she is doing some studying, and then she goes through some research on what she needs to establish for her upcoming book report.
The next footage shows the same unknown drone and it is watching the date between Leslie and Stella, and how much they are havin fun.
All of this startles Leslie and she holds her mother's hand and Delilah places a hand on the shoulder of her sister. "Why is that thing spying on me mostly?!"
Michelle then calms down her daughter. "Remain calm there, Leslie." She then looks towards the FutureTech guys and then she asks them. "Guys, is there anything on that drone that is spying on us?"
Victor then speaks. "This... This cannot make sense unless we can get the actual drone to be seen and observed by us. At this point, we are blind if we do not know what the hell is that drone and its main objective. But it seems like the motive, is the Louds. But why focus on Leslie though?"
Delilah sighs. "Then, if there is no way we can... Wait, can you guys knock one down when you see it and then..."
"No need." Martin then sees the drone up close as he zooms in. "There, that logo on the bottom, that logo is the brand from a company that was said to have been shut down for a long while since last year, and we know this company because we shut it down in our world, Richmund."
Leslie then stops being concerned and now she is confused. "Richmund? Like, Edmund L.K Richmund? One of the richest people on the planet?"
"Formerly" relied Delilah. "He was caught when the evidence was as clear as day from his cousin who investigates on his crimes, and he's supposed to be locked up. Did he break out?"
Victor then checks it out on social media. "Says here the guy has been bailed out, by some allies he had who still worked for the guy, but he was no longer heard from again. Seems like he is in hiding and he is planning something big. But what in the hell would that man want with spying on you guys? Perhaps he does recall the whole who got him into trouble?"
Martin thinks about this. "Maybe, we don't know yet. We're gonna need to find him." They then leave the room and head off for the Great Gate. "We'll be back with some tech that could help us pin point those drones' patterns and then we can take one down, then we can get t trackin that maniac down."
Delilah is confused and then she asks. "Wait, but what about this base? Doesn't this place has some tech you guys can use to find the flight patterns?"
Victor sighs and then he explains. "The base setup in this world doesn't have all of our advanced tech, anther world des parallel to this. But we need to get the best gear and the time to upgrade this base is a now." He then uses his communicator to the control tower. "Portal us both back to our world, now."
They see the portal is made, and then Michelle asks. "Wait, what about that robot man, the cyber guy. Where is that guy?"
Martin looks back and he puts on his shades. "Helping our new Animatronic allies get accustomed to the world they are in now." They then go through the portal and it closes.
Leslie then looks towards Michelle and then she asks. "So, what the heck do we do now mom?"
Delilah then goes over and also asks. "Should we go and tell the others about this new problem? I mean, Luna said she knew the logo and had the theory that Richmund was behind the drones, and she was right."
Michelle nods. "We inform them about this and prepare for what comes next and sure to hell I am not letting that man get to you girls, and I am going to kick his ass for spying on all of us. Because this all seems way too personal now."
They then head off back to the car of Michelle and they prepare to head back to the Loud House, and inform them of what they have found out.
(Back at the Loud House.)
We see Luna Loud, and she is sitting on her arm chair with her leg's crossed and she doesn't seem pleased about the folks there at the couch and who are they? Clyde, Liam, Zach, Rusty, Stella, Chad, Hassan, Artie, Lance, Trent, Richie and Flat Tire, and they don't seem to be comfortable seeing Luna looking pissed off.
The silence remains and there is a large plate of cookies and milk, an assortment of different cookies, and Harriet is there as well, and she doesn't even know what the hell is going on. Even Jordan Rosato, but she is sitting on the other arm chair.
Then Zach speaks. "So, where the heck is Lincoln?"
Luna doesn't change her expression. "Hanging out with his second mom, Sam Sharp and also her little brother, Simon Sharp and where are they? The arcade and having a good time hanging out together, like good friends chilling."
They can hear the pure anger and site within her voice, but deep down Jordan can tell what this is all about. "Oh boy."
Clyde then asks. "Luna, we don't even know..."
"Ms. Loud." Luna looks to the McBride boy. "Luna is called by my friends, and those I can trust, and from family... You kids, call me Ms. Loud, got it?"
Hearing her say that, was making them scared and surprised and then Liam speaks for Clyde who feels terrified, they feel like Luna has marked them as her foes, similar to how she glares at others who would harm her son. "Ms. Loud, we don't know what's going on or why we're even here. What is happenin'? Did we do somethin wrong?"
Luna sighs and she pinches the bridge of her nose. "You all don't know do you? Well, when was the last time you guys spend some hang out time with my son to make him feel like he still has friends?"
They all remain silent and are now scared and then Luna speaks. "Look, I get that you guys wanna make sure my son doesn't get hurt or into some trouble, but guys... He needs some hanging out time and his friends and you guys have been leaving him out of this."
"The ones spending time with him when he needs it are Jordan, Leslie, Delilah and the rich gal friends, myself, Sam and even the trio gaming group, and I understand that you guys had to do something else, I mean you guys can play video games whenever you want. But what about the rest of you?"
Rusty then admits. "The whole thing was Clyde's idea."
Luna looks to the McBride boy and he tells Luna why he reminded this plan. "Luna the reason for me to do this kind of plan is to avoid Lincoln from getting hurt or go through some bad times and to also not make you mad at any of us for what happened to him. We just didn't want him to get hurt. I swear that we didn't know he was feeling left out, I mean we hang out with him at school and exchange lunches and..."
Luna then stands up and she counters back. "That is different from what Lincoln is going through!" she then calms down. "Hanging out with my son at school is different from the after school hang out times, and you all shunned him away and said that you all had plans, and didn't even give him the time to be part of it. Were you all lying to him?!"
Hassan then tells her. "They were, and I am sorry I didn't tell him either. I didn't want him to get into worse shape, but seeing how he could handle himself makes so much sense. He is on a high-tech and advanced wheel chair. Sorry, Ms. Loud."
Luna sighs. "I am not blaming you, Hassan and thanks for the honesty about the truth." She then glares at the others, and she asks. "So, what the heck were the rest of you really doing after school? The truth."
They then tell her everything she needs to know. Clyde was watching a movie with Zach, Stella was laying some video games at the arcade and beating both Rusty and Flat Tire. Richie, Chad and Hassan went to the video game store to see what was new, mostly in devices.
But Liam seemed honest. "I wasn't even with them, this week is the big chore week and I was helpin my parents and memaw with the replanting of seeds and chasin' away the newcomer gophers and weasels."
Luna nods. "That one I can believe, saw that on the news. But the rest of you... I don't even know what to say. The stuff you guys are doing doesn't even sound dangerous, and yet you go onward anyways and don't hang out with my boy?!"
This startles them, and then Jordan goes over to calm her down. "Luna, calm down. Look they an undo their mistake and make up for lost time. Trust them to try and make this right, they can do this, well some of them. Also, Linc has to know about this as well. The best thing to do..."
Clyde is alarmed by this and he speaks. "Wait, no. Telling Lincoln would..."
"Would what, McBride?" Luna glares at the boy and she doesn't look pleased. Clyde stumbles back and he is filled with fear seeing how angry Luna is, and then she looks to all of them. "The ones I can trust to actually hang out with my son seems to be Liam, Hassan, Lance, Artie and Trent... the rest of you are a big question on why the hell did he pick you guys as his friends."
They all didn't like this, and Clyde is about to speak, but Luna talks back. "Get. Out." they all stumble and then head out, but Liam, Hassan, Lance, Artie and Trent walk out carefully and try not to make things worse, they can tell that when Lincoln finds out about this, he's not gonna be happy and today he also is getting off the wheel chair and sticking with crutches.
Luna takes the time to calm down and then she looks towards Jordan. "Tell your friends about this, let them know what the hell is going on. Got it?"
Jordan nods. "I got it." They see the door open and coming in are Michelle, Leslie and Delilah.
Harriet then asks. "So, what did you girls find out about those damned drones?" Boy, did they have a lot to tell them, but they also need Lincoln and Sam to hear this as well.
To be continued on April 17.
A/N: Now they know who is spying on them, but they don't know that there is a bigger picture through the whole thing, and it looks like things are not turning good for the friends of Lincoln Loud, how will he react to what he will soon know? I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter guys.
