A/N: Hey guys, we are back with chapter 7! Now you all know the drill, I don't own anything, Loud House and The Expendables belong to their rightful owners. Anyway guys, I'll shut up here and see you guys...AT THE BOTTOM!

It was close to 8 am in bright and sunny New Orleans as Lincoln was snoozing softly. He opened his eyes to see Hale sleeping on the other couch in his boxer briefs, this was the 2nd time Lincoln saw another adult in boxers than his dad.

He chuckled audibly as he got up to use the bathroom and begin his day. But as he was heading to the bathroom, he remembered one thing, where was the bathroom? He forgot where the bathroom was, and Hale and Toll were still sleeping, so he didn't want to upset them. Then he heard a door opening, he turned and there he saw Toll Road coming out of his room with a long black sleeve compression shirt and compression shorts.

"Morning Lincoln." Toll greeted as he yawned in the process.

"Morning, I thought Hale would have gone home last night." Lincoln asked the demolitions expert as he was unaware of Toll and Hales drinking fiasco last night.

"Uhh, me and him had some beers last night. So, I didn't want him drinking and driving home, I just let him crash on the couch." Toll chuckled as Lincoln understood the situation while remembering what he was going to ask his caretaker.

"You know where the bathroom is?" Lincoln asked him as Toll whipped his head around and smiled.

"The door past mine, shouldn't be hard to miss." Toll explained as Lincoln headed towards the bathroom but not before grabbing his clothes to change into after a nice warm shower.

After His Shower

Lincoln came out of the shower with his clothes on, folding his pajamas and setting them on the couch while walking to the kitchen table. He smelled bacon and other stuff cooking as Toll set down orange juice, minute maid fruit punch and even ice-cold lemonade on the table.

"You want to go wake up Caesar and tell him breakfast is almost done." Toll instructed as Lincoln nodded and went to wake up the heavy weapons specialist. He made his way towards the couch where he was sleeping heavily and shook him. Hale then opened his eyes softly and grinned cheekily as he saw the 11-year-old walking towards Toll.

"Morning guys. What's for breakfast?" Hale asked as Toll showed him the table of all sorts of breakfast items.

"Almost every meat and dish you can ask for buddy. You hungry as well Lincoln?" Toll asked him as he heard the 11-year-olds stomach growl. The two grown men laughed as Lincoln just blushed with embarrassment while Toll set a plate in front of him. The sight and smell overwhelmed Lincoln as he could not resist and grabbed a fork and dug in.

Much to his surprise, he saw a bottle of whiskey on the table closest to Hale and raised an eyebrow. He wanted to at least joke around with the guys before starting the day officially.

"What's with the alcohol, Hale?" Lincoln joked as Toll shot a glare at Hale which Lincoln knew this was go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

"Caesar! we're not gonna do this in front of the kid Caesar! Come on dude, you know how you get after a light hangover and add more fuel to the fire in the morning!" Toll bellowed at the weapons specialist as he just scowled and pocketed the whiskey.

The trio ate in silence until Lincoln remembered he was to keep in touch with his family. He the tapped Toll on the wrist, he glanced at Lincoln with a concerned face.

"I forgot to tell you, Church told my parents that I would be able to contact them on face chat or voice call, so they don't have to worry about me...but they think I'm having a private trial in Virginia since private trials were banned in Michigan. But since they think I'm in Virginia and not here in Louisiana" Lincoln explained as Toll nodded and gave him a look that said don't worry, we got you.

After Breakfast

As Lincoln was cleaning some dishes, Toll came up with a smile on his face. Lincoln noticed as Toll motioned for him to come outfront.

Lincoln was eager to see what was outfront, as he and Toll made it outside, Lincoln saw a big truck with Caesar flirting with the sexy female who that was from Comeaux Furniture & Appliance and his face lit up like he just met Santa Clause.

"MY STUFF'S HERE! THANKS TOLL!" Lincoln exclaimed and hugged Toll as the demolitions expert chuckled and returned the hug. Then the two helped unload the truck and laughed at funny things such as Hale trying to get the hot girl's number, even though he was married and had kids.

After Lincoln's new furniture was moved into his new room while he sat in the living room the whole time, he also set up the jail room scenario. Both men came out with tank tops on and sweating slightly, Hale got his stuff and went home while Toll motioned for Lincoln to follow him down the hall.

As they were outside Lincoln's new room, Toll Road covered Lincoln's eyes with one hand and opened the door with the other. As they entered the room, Lincoln was very curious to see how the room would look, especially when he would still have to play the part with the room scenario when calling his family.

"1...2...3...open your eyes!" Toll Road announced as Lincoln opened his eyes and they instantly went wide with excitement. His bed was a small queen's bed with red buffalo plaid bedding like he saw in the store, he also saw the exact same L shaped desk and even a dark wood entertainment console center with 2 cabinets for his games and such.

"What do you think, kid?" Toll said as he noticed Lincoln sniffling and went up to comfort him. He understood the situation Lincoln was in, he was away from his family, but this was better than prison, better than being on lockdown 23 hours a day, even better than fearing for your life by a prisoner with a shank in his hand trying to either slit your throat in a prison.

Just then, the front door opened and the two heard a familiar English accent. So, it was none other than the knives specialist.

"Oi, Toll! You home, me and Gunnar are here to see how Lincoln's settling in!?" Lee bellowed as Toll then patted Lincoln on the back lightly and ruffled his white hair while heading out to grab a beer with the two other Expendables.

Lincoln took the time to acknowledge his new room and even his new Xbox hooked up and ready to play. Lincoln truly felt like this was a new beginning, but deep down...he did miss the girls and his parents.

After admiring the room, he went to see Lee, Toll and Gunner in the kitchen drinking down a case of beer. Gunner noticed the white-haired recruit and just grinned.

"So, you're the new hacker I hear, am I correct?" Gunner asked as Lincoln nodded softly. While chuckling, the chemical engineer stuck out his hand and smiled once more.

"The names Gunner Jensen, don't wear it out. What's yours?" Gunner asked as Lincoln took the man's hand in his and shook it.

"Lincoln Loud, sir." Lincoln introduced as the 3 men chuckled while Lincoln just hid his face in embarrassment.

"Lincoln, there's no need for sir, I mean we know you're polite but just call us by our first names, k?" Lee explained as Lincoln just nodded and giggled.

Lincoln then remembered that he had to at least check in with his parents so they wouldn't worry. But how could he call them on video chat if he were in a regular room?

"Um, Toll? My parents think I'm in Virginia for a private trial in a county jail until trial, but I'm here living a regular life. How am I gonna explain to them about my room right now and the current situation I'm in?" Lincoln explained as Lee pulled out a bag that contained...an orange prisoner jumpsuit!

"Here, change into this and let Toll will do the rest." Lee explained as Toll waited for Lincoln to change into his jumpsuit for the call.

Moments Later

After Lincoln came out of the bathroom, he was in his prison jumpsuit. But him being in a prison jumpsuit and not being in prison… and it not being Halloween felt very weird and awkward. He then walked towards his room where Toll was waiting, with a straight face on.

"C'mon, let's get the black curtain rack out." Toll explained as he got out a black curtain and put it up on the curtain rack he installed earlier, after giving a go on the rack he asked Lincoln to stand on the other side to see if light would intrude on him or not.

"Looks good doesn't it?" Toll asked as Lincoln nodded and got his laptop ready.

"Now, if you need anything when you're done with that, just help yourself to the fridge because me and the boys are gonna head to a bar. I should be back later to bring you food, ok?" Toll explained as Lincoln nodded and pulled the black curtain in position to make the call to his family.

He got Skype open and ready to call his mom first then hopefully, just hopefully, talk to the girls and maybe his dad.

He clicked on his mom's contact, took a deep breath in and clicked the call button. Lincoln was very nervous about talking to his mother after being away a couple days, especially since the whole hacking thing started when he called Church to turn himself in. But he knew it was for the best when it happened, but his family could not find out what he was actually doing and where he was at.

"LINCOLN!" A voice yelled through Skype, and surprised him a bit, but he plucked up courage and replied to his mother's cries.

"H..hi mom." Lincoln replied nervously as he just watched his mother's face not change one bit, she was more upset than a bull chasing a guy with red clothing than to change her expression.

"That's all you have to say young man. Do you know how disappointed me, and your father are of you?" Rita replied with her voice rising a tad bit while Lincoln turned on the camera to show his mother the situation he was in.

Then Rita's expression changed dramatically as she saw only son in an orange jumpsuit while black all around him which got her curious.

"Why is it dark around you Lincoln?" Rita asked curiously and with confusion too.

"The conference room the county jail I'm in has lots of light in it, so they put up a makeshift little light blocker so I can talk to you and the others." Lincoln explained while thinking of what to say next. He found something to say, even though his mother will not like it, he needed to get it off his chest. "I'm sorry for all the negativity I've done throughout the years, for making the girls mad at me, upsetting everyone that cares about me. But the biggest thing I'm a sorry for...being a waste of space." Lincoln said as his voice started to break while hot tears coming down his face. He had that on his chest for a long time now and couldn't hold it in anymore.

Rita couldn't believe what she had just heard, her own son saying that he was a waste of space. She was flabbergasted that any of her children would even say anything like this.

"Lincoln Loud! You are not a waste a space, do you understand! You are the best thing that's happened to me, your father and everyone else in this family." Rita hollered as she had tears and makeup running down her face.

"I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel mom. I'm sorry if it's hurtful towards you and the others, but I just feel like I don't have a special talent that either helps you guys out or even impresses you guys." Lincoln explained as Rita was cleaning her face up while nodding.

"Have dad leave me a message later, I'll be able to call back tomorrow hopefully. I love you." Lincoln said as he saw his mother nod before hitting the end call button.

"I love you too sweetie." Rita said as the call finally hung up.

At the Loud House

As the call ended, Rita could not have felt more ashamed and upset at Lincoln, but she still loved him no matter what. She sat at the edge of her bed and cleaned her face of the tears and makeup that leaked down her face. Just then her bedroom opened to Luna and Lori, who heard her cries from upstairs.

"Who were you talking to mom?" The oldest of the sisters asked as Rita showed the skype call details. As the two girls looked at the details, their eyes went wide and screamed the familiar name.

"LINCOLN!" They said in unison.

"Yeah, he was in an orange prison jumpsuit while at a Virginian County Jail." Rita explained as the two girls winced at the info. The sight of their only brother in a prison jumpsuit surrounded by other inmates really shook them down to their core.

"Now I don't want you girls to call and berate him with questions, do you understand?" The matriarch said sternly as the two girls nodded.

Unknown Location in Royal Woods

A small figure in the darkness of Royal Woods' trees was chuckling while remembering the past events that occured the previous day.

"I will make your family and friends suffer by teasing them, Larry! You won't be able to stop me, or your latina donkey!" The figure laughed mechanically as he made his way deeper into the darkness.
