Loud House: Humble Beginnings (Book 1)

Ambush at the Loud House

Lincoln was back at school after missing Monday and Tuesday, and he was finally reunited with his friends who he thought he might never see again.

He and his friends were standing outside of the school after classes were over, and it was time to go home.

Zach, Liam, and Rusty were happy to see Lincoln again, but they were all disappointed over Clyde's death.

Luckily for Lincoln, they had no idea it was Lynn...until Chandler somehow knew and told them.

"Wait, your sister killed Clyde?!" Rusty lividly demanded to know.

"Yeah, but it wasn't my fault! I hate her guts now! Clyde and I were trying to stop our sisters from a fight and she hit Clyde in the head with a baseball bat, putting him into a coma and eventually death. You gotta believe me it wasn't my fault!" Lincoln tried to explain.

"Man, fuck you! It was still someone in your family! Forget you, Lincoln!" Zach angrily yelled as Lincoln's friends stormed away.

Lincoln grew even sadder. Almost all of his friends were no longer there for him.

It was all Chandler's fault. Lincoln walked up to Chandler, where the latter shouted "What's the matter, Lincoln? Your friends aren't friends with you anymore?"

A crowd of kids laughed and Lincoln grabbed Chandler by his shirt and furiously yelled "Listen up bub. Don't you ever mess with me again? Got it?"

"Oh, okay, white hair. At least I still have my best friend," Chandler joked as the crowd of children went "OOOOOOOHHH."

Lincoln started punching Chandler in the face until it became bruised and bloody, kind of how Luna did to Lola during the family argument.

"Uh, Lincoln? I think that's enough!" Liam said from the now quiet crowd.

Lincoln ignored him and kept socking Chandler in the face, breaking his nose, shattering his teeth, and bruising his eyes.

Chandler was now knocked unconscious and Lincoln continued to bash in his face.

Lincoln finally threw Chandler to the ground and walked away, mixed with anger and sadness.

Chandler was still alive but was knocked out and was motionless on the pavement outside.

As Lincoln was walking towards his home, he heard loud booms, like roof construction or a hammer bashing something.

But he realized what it was: it was gunshots.

Lincoln ran towards his home where he saw PMA and FBI members surrounding it. They were exchanging gunfire with Steve, who was being held under siege inside the house.

Lincoln didn't know if his family was still alive, but he had to somehow get inside.

He didn't have his phone to call for help, so he had to quickly brainstorm something.

An idea came up, but it was a long shot.

He would have to draw the swatters' attention away from his house.

He snuck into the backyard, which was also full of FBI and PMA members.

In the bushes was Lincoln, hiding. He had some large stones with him, and he had a plan.

Lincoln would pelt the large stones at the intruders, and hopefully, they would run away or at least relocate.

He knocked down two of the guys with the stones, and the others stopped firing through the windows and scanned the area.

Lincoln hid in the bushes, praying to not be spotted.

The men decided to go into the front yard and search for the culprit there, giving Lincoln a chance to escape.
