Well guys, I'll say I have never felt more love for a story since my original Akira and Lara season. The support and praise is nice an all, though I know some of you have some concerns regarding Lincoln's behavioral actions in the last chapter. But rest assured, he's called the man with a plan for many reasons. But right now, let's see how everyone is doing in their investigation on who leased the Link. I know that was terrible attempt at a detective joke.
Let's just get to the chapter.
"The day was the seventh of July, the Wedding of Lincoln Loud and Paige Willows. It had everything, the setting, the outfits, the music, the bride and everything. Except, one crucial thing. Turns out Lincoln was kidnapped from his special day, and replace with a faulty duplicate. Now we must find out who took Lincoln, and bring him back so can marry the love of his life. And bring the perp to justice."
"Is this really necessary?"
"Don't spoil the mood Paige." Lori said.
"Just help me find my almost-husband!" the strawberry bride sighed.
"Fine!" the Louds aggravated having practiced their detective intros for nothing. They were right now searching around the room Lincoln was sleeping in the night before the wedding, it was marked off with caution tape as a sign of a crime scene. Unless you never seen caution tape before or any police related media.
Right now Lisa was on one of the beds going through her laptop looking through the security tapes, see if they got a good look at who done it. The twins were looking under the bed with magnifying glasses. Luna dusted for fingerprints, getting some dust in her nasal cavity causing her to sneeze. "ACHOO!"
"Careful Luna, this a crime scene!" Lori stressed wiping the germs off the table, then wiping the third oldest Loud's mouth.
"Well it's not like I'm finding anything good here, this guy must have been wearing gloves mate!" she said in a British accent, Lori lowly growled at this.
"What about you Lease, any luck on those tapes?" she asked the second youngest and most gifted of the family in the intelligence department.
"I'm afraid not, I went through the hotel's security tape files between midnight and 8 AM but it just gave me this." she sighed showing the fuzzy static on her laptop to her sister. "Apparently whoever did this must be a master of electronics since they managed to disable the cameras before they went into action."
Paige was getting increasingly worried, "So now prints or tapes, we'll never find Lincoln!" she cried into her hands, and for good reason. She had been preparing for her wedding for a long time, and to be an official Loud to her love Lincoln. Now she has to find him and make sure he's not dead.
Luan wrapped an arm around the sobbing bride and assured her, "Don't worry, we'll find him. Soon you'll be united with your missing 'Link' and turn this godforsaken 'Paige'! Hahahahaha, get it?" she joked. But everyone just gave her a usual groan for the awful combo of puns, and Paige just sniffled.
Lynn had entered the bathroom to see Lucy on the floor with candles sitting on the toilet, "What are you doing Luce?".
"Trying to contact the spirits to see if they caught anything on Lincoln's kidnapper." Still as dark and mysterious as her younger days was the oldest of Lincoln's five younger sisters: Lucy Loud. Or as per her marriage right after her high school graduation to her childhood crush: Rocky Spokes, 'Lucy Spokes'. She resorted to the supernatural for this pandemic, and while this may seem unlikely, she had gotten some calls from beyond the grave. But something was off, "Weird the ghosts said they couldn't see anything, whoever made of with their undeserved groom had some protection from my friends from Heaven and Hell."
This earned the gothic woman stares from everyone in the room, while Paige was a supes creeped out she was a little disheartened that even spirits had nothing on this. "Well great, no prints, no footage, no supernatural input! Lincoln is gone, and I'll never see him again!" Paige cried as she flopped onto the unoccupied bed. Lori sighed and sat down on the edge and patted her should-be sister in-law by now on the back.
"It's gonna be okay, Lincoln can take care of himself. Hell he sometimes had to take care of all of us." Lori joked while gesturing to all her sisters. "Rule of life number 11: you mess with one Loud, you mess with all of us! And as the Lord as my witness, we will find Lincoln and unify you two in holy matrimony!"
"YEAH!"
"And we'll marry you guys too!"
Everyone groaned at Leni's comment. Paige lifted her head up and smiled, "Thanks guys, I really needed that." she said sitting upright.
"Well it's too bad we can't check Lisa's cameras all around our old house to see who stole that cloney thingy." Leni blurted.

... DING
"That's it!" Lori stated as an imaginary lightbulb appeared over her head. "Leni your a genius!"
"I am?"
"She is?"
"She is?"
"CLYDE!"
"Oops sorry, just wanted to be part of the story." the glasses wearing said before leaving.
Lori just paused, "I know, there's four words I'll never say again." she turned to her intellectually superior sister, "Lisa, can you look through your entire camera file from the last sixty days?"
"Uhhh why would I do that since I clearly don't have-"
"JUST DO IT!"
"Oh fine." She used her laptop to go into her personal camera feed from her lab. She fast forward through many unimportant things like her experiments to other things I cant be bothered to write.
"Well this has been pointless, there's nothing in here that can-"
"Hold up! What's this?" she stopped the feed to at the stroke of 2 AM June 17, when she spotted a dark figure drop from the ceiling.
"AHA!" the sisters cheered. They watched as this figure looked around, then turned to a grey safe in the far wall. Lisa saw the intruder press some buttons on the keypad, which managed to open the safe.
"GASP! How did this guy find out the code?! Only I should know how to get in since I wrote the passcode on a napkin and tossed it into the dump! And sprayed perfume on it to keep Lana away."
Lana shrugged, "Good idea on your part, the smell of roses and sunshine makes me feel like I'm choking."
"Well now we how the fake was planted, but what we need is who." Lori pointed out.
"Knock knock?"
"Who's there?" Luan and Leni excitedly asked, expecting a joke.
"It's me Clyde."
"It's me Clyde who?"
"Guys, tell us what's up Clyde." Lori said to her still somewhat-stalker.
"L-l-l-"
*clearing throat*
Clyde stopped his stuttering when he saw his wife behind him with a 'Don't you dare' face. Tall and pale, in a dress out of the Dracula monologues was Clyde's now ball and chain, Haiku McBride. He originally met her at the Sadie Hawkins Dance as a ploy to get Lincoln out of the dance, but later learned that they both had an unrequited crush on an older person. Well she had on a vampire from her favorite vampire soap opera, but still. No word was further on their relationship after that. But they soon started to get really close after Clyde got out of bad break up with his old classmate Penelope, and Haiku was there to pick up the pieces of his broken heart. After that, they dated all throughout high school and soon after graduation he proposed and tied the knot with the her. Though she still finds it annoying when he can still lose it around her friend's oldest sister.
He took a deep breathe, knowing that if he slipped up in front of her he'd be getting the belt. Haiku has a serious fond for bondage, especially dealing it to him. "We think we know who can help."
The McBrides brought the Louds and Paige to a panting security guard who was gorging himself on the famous Lynn-saugna from Lynn Loud Sr. It was originally for the wedding but he gave it to the poor guy that was left in a closet. "We found him in the janitor's closet, and the door handle was missing." the monarch of the Loud family Rita explained to them. The others came over to check on him.
"What happened? Who attacked you?"
The guard shook himself, "I don't know, one minute I'm on patrol then the next I end up with a bunch of brooms."
"Well, did you get a good look?" Paige stressed.
"Ummm, from what I could gather before it all went dark. They had a dark hoodie masking their face, but I could tell they looked to appear feminine."
"A WOMAN!" The Loud sisters shrieked.
"Of course, it was a crime of passion." Lucy suggested.
"What are you talking about?" Lola questioned.
"Whoever did this wasn't going for a ransom or to commit a murder." Lucy stated.
Luna went wide-eyed, "But to stop the marriage!"
Lily then asked, "Okay but who would do something like this? To kidnap someone from their own wedding?"
Lori thought to herself, "I say we question everyone who has ever had an affiliation of romance with our brother."
"So every woman in our universe?" Lucy asked.
"Yes."
20 mins Later
The group were now looking over the files of every woman Lincoln has had some interaction with, given the product of the Loud House that rounds it to EVERY SINGLE FEMALE on the show. No wonder the kinds of ships the show's fandom pairs.
Lori states, "Okay after dealing out the obviously too old suspects, the girls from his 5th grade Sadie Hawkins, and the most shipped girls in our fandom."
"Us." the Louds all groaned.
"That just leaves two prime suspects: Christina and that one girl Lincoln tried to impress by dressing like someone from the 1950's."
Lucy spoke up, "Actually just Christina, the latter had moved to Nepal after her dad got a transfer in high school."
"How do you know this?" Lynn asked.
"I keep tabs on all of Lincoln's probable partners to make sure none of them rips out his heart from his chest, and eats it."
"Okaaaaaay, so what about Christina?"
"Married to that Chandler guy from school."
Everyone groaned at this, Lori then sighed "And there goes the last of them, now what are we gonna do?"
"It's not like the universe will just give us a sign that another girl has had any last minute communication with Lincoln like this text on his phone." Leni sadly said.
"What?" they all questioned the dumb blonde.
"Yeah, Lincoln sent a text to someone named RA two months ago. But they never replied." Leni explained, Lori took the phone to see the message and the contact name.
"RA? RA! Only one girl we know has those initials!" Lori gasped.
"RONNIE ANNE!"
"Bruce Wayne!" everyone stared at Leni for that completely random and totally wrong answer. "Wait, Jon Jones! No wait, I got nothing." her sisters and Paige facepalmed at this.
"Of course, Ronnie Anne did this! But why?" Paige asked.
"We'll know when we find her, and where she's keeping Lincoln." Lori stated.
"But how will find him? This is worst than when we lost him at the Grand Canyon, and that wasn't a very 'Grand' adventure. Hahahaha get it?" everyone groaned at the pun from the comedian Loud.
"Lisa do you still have that tracking chip you implanted in Lincoln?" Lori asked her smart sister.
"Huh?" Paige asked confused.
"Affirmative," she stated pulling out her brother tracker, "Hmm according to this he's heading for New York?"
"Well then that's our first stop, let's go find our brother!"
"And my husband!"
Wait till they see what they've been tracking for the next couple chapters, hope you guys liked this.
Zoryan, out.
