Chapter 4: What Happened at the Crime Scene?
Back in the Loud House, the family members were worries sick about Lincoln. He never came from school and it's been three hours since the school was over. Rita and Lynn Sr. was talking on the phone calling to Clyde's fathers to ask if their dear son forgot to tell them he was with his friend Clyde. Unfortunately for the parents, they too were going to ask the same thing about Clyde as he was gone as long as Lincoln has.
The siblings were trying to search for their dear brother throughout the neighborhood when they heard the news of their brother being missing after that night. They would be in groups of two coming to door to door, asking the residents about Lincoln. They would help the McBride family search for their son as well. When they got no results from the neighborhood, they search by car to travel to places Lincoln and Clyde might be. They search every arcades, comic book stores, and parks that was in Royal Woods. As expected, still no results of Lincoln and Clyde.
After three days searching, they call police officers to help them search for the two missing children. The officers accept to help as they begin to search other parts of Royal Woods. At first the Loud family and the McBride family thought they were going to found easily, boy they were dead wrong. Each day when they found out police officers has not found them, they begin to worry and pray for dear heavens they would be found.
As they pray for the fourth day of police search, the police officers have finally got good news for the family. As officers finally begin to search at the woods dead at night, they found Clyde running from the road. They got the boy safety in their custody, and things were getting better as Clyde knows where Lincoln is. Police officers continue to search the woods before they eventually found Lincoln.
The old man screams in the fit of rage to let Clyde escape outside of his cabin. He was going to be the second person to commit the deed he did to Lincoln, but the old man knows he failed to do so. He throws the knife to the outside where the woods itself was still dark from the evening. The old man then walk back to his shelter where he walk to the room where Lincoln lost his life. The senior stare at the body of the preteen he murdered for his own benefit, seeing the stabbed wound at the stomach area, the ribcage area, and chest. The old man crotch to his knees towards the corpse and start to place his finger on the forehead, chest and shoulder.
"From the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost," whispered the man with pity in his voice.
The old man grab the lifeless Lincoln and carry him to the room he place the kids when he knock them unconscious a week ago. He remembers how hard it took for the senior to take care of sleeping body, yet it was also easy to say many prayers and enchanting spells. He did it to the boy he us currently caring as his friend was next. After he was ready to do the last act, he only got one of them. So he place Lincoln on the bed he used to rest and place the blanket over him.
"You will be different when it's your time," announced the old man. "You will be something that I have failed to do so until tonight. I have completed my job."
The old man stood up and exits the room. The cabin was silence as the senior enters the bathroom, for he begins to stripped himself and turn on the bathtub. When enough water was filled, he step in the tub and sat down to feel the water covering his legs to waist. The old man saw the soap bar at the side of the tub and grab for it. He then cup a few amount of water on himself to get some of the blood of Lincoln off of him. The senior begin scrubbing himself with the soap to clean him. From head to toe, the senior successful clean the blood off him, yet he knew deep inside he's missing a spot.
He exits the tub with the water dripping from his naked body and walk out of the door. A few seconds later, he walks back in the restroom with spill water on the floor. The old man knees down on the marble floor with a pistol hold tightly in his right hand. He place the barrel on himself as did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit gesture. With tears in his eyes, the old man places the barrel of the gun on his left chest before he pulls the trigger. Then the cabin was silence.
A body shot up awakens after what happened to the old man in the restroom. It looks around to see it was on the bed, only clothed in underwear, and was cold. The body then got off the bed and begins to walk to the door. It opens the door slowly to see a hallway with three open doors. It enters the hallway to scan each room.
The first room it scans was just a washing room with a broken washing machine. It then walks to the second room, but it witnesses the corpse of the old man with the gun besides him and water on the floor. It continues to walk to the third room, which it only saw a stair going down to nothing but darkness. It didn't want to enter such room, so it moves on to the fourth room. It only saw many things trashed and thrown to the floor and wall with blood spill on the floor.
It licks its lips as it follows the bloody footsteps to the restroom. As it enters to room, it focuses on the blood oozing from the corpse of the old man. It grinned to smell the scent of blood, yet that was interrupted when the cold surface of the sink touch it's exposed back. It turns around to look at the mirror. It continues to look itself at the mirror, seeing its pale skin, skinny unharmed frame, red eyes, fangs on its jaw, and white hair.
"I'm... Lincoln Loud. I'm the only brother of 10 sisters and son of two normal parents," spoke Lincoln with confirmation. "I have a best friend named Clyde McBride, who we both were helping an old man not commit suicide." Lincoln looks at the body of the old man. "I don't remember what happens after that, but I guess I didn't get to help him at the end."
As the boy continues to see the body, he looks at the blood on the floor. He could smell the scent of the blood as it has a temptation smell to the boy. His stomach ache in hunger from smelling the blood, but he doesn't know why. After a few seconds of thinking of doing such a thing, he drops to the floor next to the old man's corpse.
Footsteps were heard in the cabin. These footsteps belong to the same police officers that found Clyde. There were only two officers in the cabin as they begin to search the place. While one officer was looking in the fourth room, the other saw the bloody footsteps that lead to the restroom. As the officer enters, there was nothing more disgusting to see two bodies with blood on the floor. The officer walks closely to see Lincoln licking the blood from the floor. The two police officers then got Lincoln out of the cabin and to the car where he and Clyde was taken to the hospital.
