A/N: G'day mates! Here is chapter 11, now there will be a timeskip coming soon so it's not a chapter going by each day in the story (something like that). Anyway, you all know what's crackalackin, I don't own neither The Loud House or The Expendables, they belong to their rightful owners. Anywho, I shall see you guys...AT THE BOTTOM!
It was seven-fifty on Saturday and Lincoln was eating cereal at the table when he heard his phone go off. He saw it was Bonnie texting him.
My mom said it was cool if she can talk to your caretaker. -Bonnie
Lincoln smiled; he was grateful that he can tour New Orleans a bit better.
Okay, when he's up, I'll ask -Lincoln
Gotcha -Bonnie
As they were texting, Toll's bedroom door opened, and he made his way towards the kitchen to get cereal and coffee.
Lincoln noticed Toll was up and decided to ask him.
"Speak of the devil." Lincoln muttered under his breath as he smiled. "Hey, Toll, is it okay if I can hang with my friend, Bonnie, today?"
Toll raised his eyebrows to that question as he poured his cup of black joe, he didn't expect Lincoln to be hanging with anybody today, but he wasn't a prisoner nor in purgatory, so what could go wrong?
"I have to talk to her parents though. But you better be good, ok?" Toll instructed as Lincoln nodded.
Lincoln gave Bonnie the address of the house and the confirmation that Toll had to talk to her parents, if they wanted to hang out.
In Royal Woods
At the McBride residence, Clyde hadn't come out of his room at all nor been social at school. He missed Lincoln, he was like a brother to him, and now he was in prison.
Both fathers were super worried, they feared Clyde might have so much anger and depression in him, he might do something he'll regret. They sat on the couch anxiously glancing back at their son's room every now and then.
"I'm super worried about him Howard. Ever since Lincoln was hauled away by that agent, he hasn't been the same." Harold explained as Howard rubbed his shoulders to try and calm him down.
"I know Harold, I know. I never knew Lincoln had the capability to do something that drastic. I always thought Lincoln was a sweet kid, but now...I'm starting to see the other side of the stone." Howard stated which got his husbands attention super quick.
"Don't say that! Just because it's a onetime thing, doesn't make Lincoln a bad influence." Harold shot back in retaliation.
Howard knew it was no use arguing with his husband over their son's choice of friends.
"I'm sorry, honey." They said in unison as hugged each other. Just then, Howard found his light bulb.
"I have an idea, but you're not gonna like half of it." Howard explained as Harold's eyebrows shot up with anticipation.
Howard went towards the phone and dialed a familiar phone number. After a couple rings, there was a male voice on the other line.
"Loud Residence, this is Lynn Sr." Lynn Sr. announced on the other side.
"Lynn, this is Howard. We all need to talk, us parents." Howard explained as Lynn was quiet until he finished.
"...About what?" Lynn Sr replied as Howard brought up a familiar name.
"It's about...Lincoln." Howard said as he heard Lynn gasp.
"Bring Rita and we'll talk, okay?" Howard finished as he heard sniffling from the other side.
"I'm sorry for bringing up Lincoln's name, but this was in my head for 2 days, now Clyde is miserable without him here." Howard continued as he heard Lynn bawling and blowing his nose."
"It's fine. I'll bring Rita in a couple hours to talk, is that alright with you?" Lynn Sr explained with a sob as he heard Howard grunt with agreement.
"See you in a bit Lynn." Howard stated flatly and hung up the phone.
"They'll be here in a couple hours, okay?" Howard stated as Harold just hugged him and cried his tear ducts out.
Back with Lincoln
Lincoln had Toll Road talk to Bonnie's parents so they can hang out. It was a success as soon as Toll hung the house phone up.
"They'll be here in 1 hour, so why don't we do 50 Squats, followed by 50 Sit Up Elbow Strikes and finish that off with 50 Push Ups." Toll instructed as Lincoln nodded, grabbed a bottle of water and went to change into his workout clothes for training.
Toll didn't want Lincoln to feel like he was there only for work and training, he still wanted him to live his childhood, but it would help for him to get some exercise, socialize at school and hang with friends.
The demolitions expert changed into his workout clothes and joined Lincoln in the extra room he had for training. It had a big blue mat, a punching bag and some weights.
"Now, do what I do in the exercise, okay?" Toll instructed as they both laid down on the mat in the sit ups position and began.
Toll put his hands behind his neck, raised his knees in the sit up position and began the exercise. He raised up and striked with both of his strong elbows, he kept doing it for a solid minute until Lincoln knew what to do.
As he was starting to raise his body for the strikes, his rear was raising off the mat. Crap, I need someone to hold my feet down while I do this, Lincoln thought as Toll saw a worried look on his face.
"Do you need me to hold your feet down?" Toll asked as Lincoln put on a weak smile and nodded.
Toll got up on his knees and carefully held Lincoln's feet down while he did 50 Sit Ups with Elbow Strikes. "Make sure that the very tip of your elbow comes in contact as a strike, also the back of your head needs to touch the mat in order to count as an official sit up." Toll stated as Lincoln nodded and started the exercise.
At first, it didn't feel so bad as the 11-year-old used his elbows to strike the air while bringing his head up and down again with each strike.
"You're doing good, keep going, ignore the burn." Toll said as Lincoln began to sweat lightly, but the more he did the exercise, the more sweat dripped down his face.
"If you need to take your shirt off, you can. It'll be easier to work out without a shirt." Toll said as Lincoln quickly did so and resumed the exercise. He was already at 35, so 15 more to go.
Lincoln sure as hell felt the burn alright, but he kept pushing on. He felt like stopping right there, gripping his burning muscles and laying there for hours: but he was no quitter!
Toll had noticed Lincoln was sweating like he was in a boiler room working, but he kept pushing on. He was proud of him; he hoped the others can teach him other tasks of being an Expendable.
"...And you're done! Great job, now I'll make it easier for you: 25 Squats and 25 Pushups. Just finish those, grab a shower and you'll be done." Toll explained as Lincoln sat there, nodding slowly, and panting softly. He took a five-minute break, drank some water, and resumed the workout.
Toll began to work on his biceps while watching Lincoln continue to work out. He was beginning at a slow and steady pace, but he was hoping it would get better if Lincoln would even survive five minutes out on the field with an MP5 in his hands.
As Lincoln was doing squats, he was mentally planning a workout and training schedule. He would have to see what fits where and when he could do what. It was gonna be a challenge, but he kept telling himself: Never quit no matter what.
As soon as his squats were done, his legs were on fire. He didn't want to continue on, but he pushed the negative thoughts away and went on to his pushups.
His whole body was now sweating, it began to drip down onto the mat as he was doing his pushups. Toll noticed how many calories Lincoln was burning, he even remembered the baby fat on his face, so he could even lose that fat if he put a lot of work into his workout routines.
"...24….and 25. All done Toll." Lincoln stated even though he was very sore. He then saw Toll with his serious face.
"Not impressed...25 more of everything!" Toll stated sharply as Lincoln looked shocked at his caretaker's response.
Before he could respond, Toll smiled and chuckled. Lincoln raised his eyebrows to the weird attitude Toll was showing.
"I'm joking, go get cleaned up while I watch for Bonnie and her parents." Toll said while chuckling. Lincoln nodded and went to get changed and cleaned up.
"Good job though Lincoln." Toll Road stated as he heard Lincoln groan from the complement. Must be super worn out from the exercise, Toll thought as he also went to get cleaned up.
As Lincoln was in the shower, his muscles ached with each movement he made. A sign of progress, Lincoln thought as he winced from the pain while squeezing out Irish Spring Shampoo for his white hair. He wanted to make sure he smelt good for when Bonnie came over. He then rinsed it out and then used his body wash for his armpits, torso and lower region.
He rinsed his whole body, turned off the shower and dried off with his towel. He quickly made his way to his bedroom when he saw a bag of boxers on his bed. Under Armor? Lincoln thought as he threw them on and noticed the firmness in them.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Lincoln stated as he threw on his white tank top, along with his jeans, flannel and other clothing.
As Lincoln was just about to put cologne on, he heard Toll's voice through the house.
"LINCOLN! BONNIE AND HER PARENTS ARE HERE!" Toll bellowed as Lincoln quickly sprayed one spray of Drakkar Noir and made his way out to the living room.
Toll was talking to Jack, Lindsey and Bonnie Duncan when Lincoln came into view.
"Hey Lincoln!" Bonnie exclaimed as she ran up and hugged her friend.
As soon as she pulled Lincoln in, he groaned due to him just getting done with the workout.
"You okay?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln put on a weak smile.
"Do rattlesnakes kiss gently?" Lincoln asked with a goofy grin as everyone in the room just laughed out loud.
"I like this kid honey." Jack joked as he got up and stuck out his hand and said with a grin.
"Jack Duncan's the name and this here is my wife, Lindsey." Jack introduced himself as Lincoln returned the handshake with a firm grip.
"Pleasure to meet you, Jack." Lincoln responded politely as Bonnie cut in.
"Can we go hang out now, please mom?" Bonnie asked as her mother chuckled and nodded gently.
"I guess but be good." Lindsey stated sweetly to her daughter.
"Sweet, come on Lincoln. We can go to St John Park and watch the canal." Bonnie said as she dragged Lincoln out the door and down towards the park.
"Be careful sweetie!" Lindsay yelled as Bonnie shot back a blush.
"MOM!" Bonnie exclaimed towards her mother as she and her husband along with Toll just snickered.
As the two made their way towards the park on Pratt Drive, an unfamiliar boy with dark brown hair grinned like the grinch at them from the distance.
Lincoln and Bonnie made it to St John Park and watched the canal in the beautiful mid-morning. There was a slight breeze, and the sun was beaming lightly on the 11-year-olds skin, it was a lovely day.
Lincoln decided to grab some of his money, just in case, to take with him. Then he saw was a hot dog salesman who also had a cooler full of drinks nearby, so he thought he would be a gentleman and buy Bonnie a snack.
"You want a hot dog?" Lincoln asked with a sincere smile as Bonnie nodded softly. They both made their way towards the hot dog salesman, who was just putting the condiments out, smiled at the two 11-year-olds.
"Hi, what can I get you two lovebirds?" The salesman asked as Lincoln and Bonnie blushed dark red.
"One hot dog please, with a can of Pepsi and Lemonade." Lincoln responded still blushing as Bonnie quickly turned her head, in shock, towards Lincoln as he was getting her a hot dog and her favorite drink.
The salesman grabbed a hot and ready wiener and put it in a bun, grabbed the two drinks and gave it to the two 11-year-olds.
"How much do I owe you?" Lincoln asked as the salesman just waved his hand slightly.
"It's on the cart, since I just opened up." The salesman responded politely as Lincoln and went wide eyed from the man's politeness.
"Really? I mean...I can leave a tip-" Lincoln was cut off by the man as he just chuckled.
"It's ok, there's no need. Also...you might want to put an egg in your shoe and beat it, because my regular crazy customers usually show up right about now, no offense." The salesman explained as Lincoln and Bonnie nodded and began to head back to the tree they were sitting under.
"Thank you!" They said in unison as the salesman's reply was cut off due to his customers coming in like a bat out of hell.
As Lincoln and Bonnie sat down back at the tree, Bonnie bit her lip due to Lincoln's kindness, not to mention him knowing her favorite drink.
"How did you know my favorite drink was Lemonade?" Bonnie asked as Lincoln looked with a sincere smile.
"You mentioned it was your favorite drink at school yesterday, so I had to be the gentleman and just listen to what you to say." Lincoln said softly as Bonnie looked down at the ground and blushed even darker red.
She finished her food and threw the garbage away as Lincoln finished his drink too, threw it away and sat back down. Bonnie then leaned closer to Lincoln said something she never even caught herself saying.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were flirting." Bonnie said as she felt the blush darken even more.
"You could say that…" Lincoln responded as she smelled the air close to Lincoln.
"Are you wearing...cologne?" Bonnie asked curiously as Lincoln nodded with a deeper blush on his face.
"Yeah, I just got done with working out so-" Lincoln began to explain as he was cut off by an unknown voice.
"Bonnie! Who's this dude!" The voice said as Bonnie and Lincoln turned to see an 11-year-old with dark brown hair, wearing a black hoodie, black jeans and white converse, staring straight at them glaring daggers at them.
At the McBrides House
Howard and Harold waited anxiously for Rita and Lynn Sr to arrive. They were very worried they wouldn't like the news, but it was for their own good.
"I hope they'll understand the news, I don't want to-" Howard started to explain as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Harold said as Howard just slouched a bit. "...lose them as friends." He finished as Harold came into the room with Rita and Lynn Sr.
"Thanks for coming you two, this is very important for you and the girls." Howard explained as Rita and Lynn Sr looked at him with confusion.
The other adults sat down and listened to what Howard had to say, they weren't going to like it, but it was for their own good.
"I'm so sorry for what happened to Lincoln, and because of that, Clyde isn't feeling like himself. So, I'm asking if the girls can keep clear of him for a while, just until he feels like himself again, please guys." Howard finished as the Loud parents just nodded while trying not to cry.
While the McBrides were comforting the Loud parents, a certain tomboy was crying her eyes out due to her breakup.
Santiago Residence
Ronnie Anne was in her room going through her 3rd box of tissues. She just couldn't stop crying because of two reasons: Lincoln was not here with her and she had to breakup with him just because it wouldn't work between them many states apart.
It hurt, it hurt so much that she could keep crying the entire ten years Lincoln would be gone. Even though she knew Lincoln's actual location, she still couldn't tell where he was to the other Louds, or they'd bring hell.
"Nie Nie, are you alright?" A voice asked from the other side of her door.
"Go away, Bobby." Ronnie said while trying to get a hold of herself. Bobby came in slowly and sat down on the bed with his sister.
"Nie Nie, please tell me what's wrong. Is it still because of Lincoln getting arrested by the CIA?" Bobby asked as Ronnie Anne pulled herself into his chest and let out another wave of tears and cries.
Bobby had never seen his little sister cry this much before, so he thought the best thing to do was comfort her and stroke her hair.
"I broke up with him because of him being in prison so far from me. I thought it was for the best." Ronnie Anne explained as Bobby just sat there and took in the info. She had never said anything about dating Lincoln, he felt bad for her, so he thought he can do something for her.
"Is there anything I can do to cheer you up?" Bobby asked as Ronnie Anne just shook her head from the kind offer.
"If there is anything I can do, let me know, okay, Nie Nie." Bobby said as Ronnie Anne just nodded while the older Latino kissed her head and left the room.
Back with Lincoln
At St John Park, Lincoln and Bonnie were being stared down at by another 11-year-old who apparently had beef with Bonnie.
"What do you want Arthur!" Bonnie screamed as Arthur just got angrier.
"You know what I want, I want you to give me an answer! Who is this white-haired dude!" Arthur bellowed as Lincoln stood up and decided to stand up for Bonnie and himself.
"The name is Lincoln Loud, and you are….?" Lincoln introduced himself in a defensive tone.
"Arthur Taggart, and you're with my property." Arthur spat back in a cold tone.
"Well Arthur, there is no right at all to physically own a human being, unless you count that as attempted human trafficking, no offense Bonnie." Lincoln explained in a brave voice.
"None taken whatsoever." Bonnie replied to her white-haired hero, she was blushing madly by Lincoln's bravery.
Arthur grew more and more angrier by the minute, he was getting schooled by a kid he didn't even know, and this was going over like a fart in a whirlwind.
"Bonnie, you belong with me, not this white-haired freak! Now let's go!" Arthur yelled at the redhead girl as he grabbed her wrist.
"LET ME GO ARTHUR! YOU'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE WITHIN 100 FEET OF ME!" Bonnie exclaimed as Lincoln snapped with what he just saw.
"HEY!" Lincoln screamed as he lost control and pushed Arthur away, grabbed the collar of his shirt and got in his face.
"Don't you ever put your hands on her again...UNDERSTAND!" Lincoln bellowed as he then shoved the bully to the ground and went to check on Bonnie, who was shocked to see Lincoln angry.
Arthur was ready to throw down, he was hotter than a billy goat with a blowtorch in a minefield than to let this slide.
"You okay, Bonnie?" Lincoln asked softly as Bonnie nodded slowly. She then turned to see Arthur coming at Lincoln with his fist raised raised in the air.
"LINCOLN, WATCH OUT!" Bonnie exclaimed as Lincoln snapped his head around, moved his fist out of the way and stuck his elbow out and it connected with Arthurs throat.
As Arthur was gasping for air, Lincoln quickly threw off his flannel, interlocking his fingers behind the bully's neck and ramming his knee into Arthurs gut. As Arthur was immediately gasping for air twice as hard, Lincoln grabbed him by the face and squeezed his lips together horizontally.
"Stay away from Bonnie, or you'll be dealing with me again, kapeesh?" Lincoln asked with a stern voice.
Arthur, with his lips pressed together and trying to breathe properly, nodded to his threat. Then Lincoln cocked his fist back and delivered a hard but fast punch to the side of Arthur's jaw. He saw the bully hit the deck like a ton of bricks and was out cold. Bonnie was flabbergasted to Lincoln's way of defending her, he technically just saved her from Arthur.
She ran into Lincoln's arms and cried softly. She sniffed softly and her blush was on its way back. He smells so nice, Bonnie thought as Lincoln grabbed his flannel and put it back on.
"You wanna start heading back?" Lincoln asked softly as Bonnie nodded slowly. The two then started heading back to Lincoln's house while leaving the bully out cold in the grass.
As the two walked back towards the house, Bonnie leaned into Lincoln's arm. She was super glad he was there, otherwise things would have ended bad.
With all of Lynn's training, Lincoln had remembered how to hold his own, all the karate and defense techniques paid off, plus the slight training with the Expendables.
Lincoln and Bonnie made it back to the house and sat outside for a bit before preparing to explain what happened at the park to Toll and Bonnie's parents.
"Lincoln…" Bonnie said while biting her bottom lip as it got his attention.
"Yeah?" Lincoln replied with his eyebrows raised due to Bonnie saying his name.
Bonnie's cheeks turned slightly pink as she continued her sentence. "Thank you, for what you did at the park." Bonnie finished as Lincoln just chuckled while wiping away a tear from her face that was almost dried up.
"Don't mention it." Lincoln replied as he heard the front door open, it showed to be Jack and Lindsay being walked out by Toll.
"Hey sweetie, did you have fun?" Jack asked as Bonnie nodded slowly and giggled.
"We did, but we ran into trouble." Bonnie explained as Jack groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What's going on, what happened at the park Lincoln?" Toll asked as he was more confused than Mike Tyson at a spelling bee.
"Was it Arthur Taggart?" Jack said with frustration as Bonnie nodded.
"He came up to me and Lincoln, said I was still his property and grabbed me. But.." Bonnie explained as her blush was yet again back. "...Lincoln here pushed him to the ground and told him to back off and not touch me again. But then Arthur did the unexpected and tried to swing at him, so Lincoln beat him up, threatened him and finally knocked him out cold." Bonnie finally finished as Toll, Jack and Lindsay stood there flabbergasted.
"Mr. Road, do you still have time for us to explain why that boy 'Arthur' is bad news around here?" Lindsey asked as Toll nodded and led everyone back inside.
"Now, why is this Arthur kid, bad news?" Toll asked as Jack began to explain.
"Arthur was a classmate that used to go to Bonnie's school, but after a couple incidents of him trying to 'grope' Bonnie multiple times at school and close to home, we had to put a restraining order on him. He's now going to one of the charter schools, I hope we don't see him again as soon as I make that phone call later." Jack explained as Lincoln looked shocked from the info.
"Lincoln, could I talk to you for a minute, outside?" Jack instructed as Lincoln gulped, nodded, and followed the man outfront.
As the two made it front, Jack got down to the 11-year-old's level and stuck out his hand.
"Thanks for being there for my baby girl and taking care of Arthur. That takes guts, and we need guts. You're a good kid, Lincoln." Jack stated as Lincoln beamed with pride.
"It's my pleasure Mr. Duncan, anything for a friend," Lincoln said with a blush forming as Jack just chuckled.
The two made it back inside to Lindsey getting off the phone with the police due to the restraining order violation.
"We have to go see Detective Taylor and talk to him about what happened, but he wants to talk to us at the house right now." Lindsey explained as Bonnie sighed to the news.
"Right, well it was nice to meet you Josh and Lincoln and again, thanks Lincoln." Jack explained as Lincoln nodded softly while he and Lindsey shook Toll's hand. While Toll walked the parents to their car, Bonnie hugged Lincoln again and began to make her way towards her parents, but not without giving him one kiss on the cheek.
Both 11-year-olds blushed from this while Bonnie giggled like a little ol' schoolgirl and joined her parents. Lincoln was blushing like a madman, he never expected Bonnie to kiss him on the cheek from his braveness, but it was a kind gesture, nonetheless.
As the Duncans' car pulled away, Bonnie waved out the window towards Lincoln. Lincoln waved back with his usual goofy grin back again. But what he didn't notice was Toll was watching the whole damn thing.
"So, what'd I miss?" Toll asked as Lincoln looked down in embarrassment, the demolitions expert just chuckled as he heard his phone ring from inside.
Lincoln was immediately lovestruck after the whole afternoon he had, but he told himself to wait a while, so he didn't make a complete fool out of himself.
"Hey, Lincoln?" Toll said as Lincoln turned to face his caretaker.
"We got a job: hostage extraction and grab some sensitive info from a high-tech corporation turned rogue by a group of backstabbing soldiers." Toll explained as Lincoln's face lit up with excitement.
"Where are they keeping the hostage and the info at?" Lincoln asked as Toll inhaled sharply through his teeth.
"Aldan, Sakha Republic, Russia," The demolition expert replied as Lincoln went super wide eyed from the location they'd be going to.
"We need to get to the shop for more briefing, Lee will grab your uniform, paintball gun and even a good sharp knife. Go grab your laptop and we can get a move on." Toll instructed as Lincoln nodded with a serious face and made a beeline for his room to grab his laptop.
After Lincoln grabbed his laptop, he and Toll got to the car and made their way towards Tool's garage.
"Isn't it gonna be cold when get to Russia?" Lincoln asked as Toll grunted and nodded slightly. He reached into the glove compartment and pulled out a very dark blue beanie.
"I don't want you to get frostbite on them cute little ears," Toll joked as he chuckled while Lincoln decked him in the arm and joined in the chuckling.
When they got to the shop, everyone was there, minus Tool. Lincoln parked on a crate while Toll sat in a foldable chair and waited for Barney to light his cigar and begin briefing.
"Now Lincoln, this is your first mission for hacking, so you will need to be on your toes and make sure to listen on the radio if we need assistance," Barney instructed as Lincoln nodded to the instructions.
"We got a job from an old mercenary named, Bonaparte. He hooked us up with the info, location and who we're working with. Our hostage we're extracting is Bürküt Karga, owns lots of gold mines in Russia and is quite wealthy. The files we also need to get are locations where to plant charges so we can blow that place to hell. The people we're with are Russian, so they speak Russian and English, 3 are going with us while 2 are sticking with Lincoln at the plane a mile away from the hostage extraction," Barney explained as everyone knew what to do next.
"Let's get to the plane boys, we leave in 1 hour!" Barney announced as everyone left to the airfield and get suited up.
As Toll and Lincoln were riding in his black Toyota Camry, Lincoln was feeling a bit nervous, but he pushed it aside due to him trying to show his maturity.
At the airfield, Toll parked the car and him and Lincoln got out to get changed into their uniforms. When Lincoln saw the plane, he was amazed to see how cool it was.
"That's an HU-16 Albatross air-sea rescue flying boat, it's very reliable and helps us in a jam." Barney stated as Lincoln remembered one thing that was perfect to this topic.
"I'm pretty sure if my sister, Luan, was here right now, she would have made a lame pun by now." Lincoln chuckled as the Vietnam veteran just raised his eyebrows to the statement.
Lincoln took notice and decided to explain why he stated that.
"My sister Luan would always make lame puns or jokes when a certain situation happens. Even the slightest topic can be used in a lame joke, sometimes they really get on my nerves." Lincoln explained as Barney stood there lighting his cigar again.
"Sounds like you go through hell at home, right?" Barney asked as Lincoln scoffed lightly.
"Trust me Barney, with 10 sisters, it can get pretty hectic and chaotic." Lincoln stated as he then heard a voice boom.
YOU HAVE HOW MANY SISTERS!" The voice belonged to Caesar who loading his USAS-12 at the moment.
"I have 10 sisters and no brothers. But after all the times of feeling like a black sheep towards my sisters, seeing them happy all the time, me having nothing in common with them just makes me feel down all the time. I'm always there to help with whatever I can when they need it, but I'm only one boy and I'm surrounded by girls, but my dad is there too." Lincoln explained sadly as all the Expendables were staring silently at him.
"Lincoln, we had no idea what it must be like living with all sisters." Lee said in a sincere as he got down to Lincoln's level to comfort. "Trust me, I have 2 little sisters and an older brother by 1 year."
"It's fine Lee, I hope you didn't have to sleep outside for 2 nights due to being called bad luck, like me. My parents told me to step away from the house, I was so sad that night." Lincoln replied as he heard metal clanking on the ground, he saw the guns all the guys were holding, not loaded, but on the ground in front of the owners who dropped them.
"G...Guys? Lincoln asked with a confused tone as Barney came forward while putting his cigar out.
"Kid, do you realize your parents could be put in prison for that? Child neglect is what they committed and you're the victim." Barney stated as Lincoln nodded with a sad expression.
"Oi' we'll worry about it later, go get changed and then we need to fit you with your new radio and throat mic." Lee stated as Lincoln grabbed his gear and went to change in the little bathroom the warehouse had.
I'll tell them everything after we get back from Russia, hopefully they don't go crazy about the full details, Lincoln thought as he got his gear on.
What Lincoln or the others didn't know was Mr. Church was outside the warehouse listening to every word Lincoln had explained. He liked Lincoln and never thought anything bad could have happened to him at home. So, it looks like Church would be going back to pay the Loud parents a nice visit.
He made his way towards his suburban, got in and drove away to catch a flight on his personal jet. He got out his phone and made a phone call to the FBI agency. "This is Agent Lopez; how can I help you Agent Church?" The female agent on the phone asked.
"I need an arrest warrant for Rita and Lynn Sr. Loud and I need it asap." Church said strictly as the younger agent typed up the warrant. You've gone too far, Church thought as he set a destination for Royal Woods.
After Lincoln had changed into his gear, he made his way back towards the rear of the plane. Lee was waiting in his gear as well, while wearing a black beret and Panerai PAM 074 watch that looked like it cost about five to ten thousand dollars.
"Alright, let's get this setup. I've already got the right channel on here, so it matches with ours." Lee instructed as he began to place the throat mic where each piece needed to go onto his gear. "Now make sure to hold the button down that clips to your belt to talk."
Lincoln slipped his beanie on and finished by putting his gloves on, but he had one question about the boots.
"Hey, Lee?" Lincoln asked the English blade specialist as he turned around to see what he needed.
"Why are the boots so heavy?" Lincoln asked with a concerned tone while Lee motioned for him to put his foot on his knee and tap it.
As Lincoln tapped the tip of the boot, he felt the toughness of them. He then looked back at Lee who was grinning slightly.
"Steel tipped boots, excellent for close quarters combat and kicking arse," Lee said with his usual 'shit eating grin' while he gave Lincoln a pistol and one of his kunais.
"Have you shot a pistol before, Lincoln?" Lee asked as Lincoln nodded.
"Yep, my Pop Pop taught me how to shoot his M1911 last year. He was in the military, so it took a lot of practice and a little cut on my hand, but I got the hang of it," Lincoln explained as Lee nodded smugly. He put the safety on the M1911 he had and gave it to Lincoln so he could holster it.
"Thanks Lee," Lincoln said as Lee gave him a light noogie.
"C'mon, let's get ready to fly," Lee replied as the rest of the Expendables got their gear and boarded the plane.
Lincoln had never been outside of the United States, so it was a bit scary... but this was business.
As the Albatross plane made its way onto the runway, it's engine coughed and sputtered, as it screamed its way into the sky on the way to Aldan, Russia.
Lincoln was sitting close to Lee and Barney, who were in the cockpit but also close to Toll as well.
"Remember Lincoln, you still have your paintball gun, the M1911 is just a serious backup," Lee stated sharply as Lincoln nodded. "Besides, the Russian mercenaries will be there as well to guard you while you're hacking, so you might not have to use the weapons, but just in case...keep them close," Lee instructed firmly as Lincoln was laying down to catch some shut eye.
As the Expendables were en route to Russia, a specific bald agent had just boarded his private government plane with an arrest warrant in his hands and was more hotter than a billy goat with a blowtorch in a minefield.
"Alright Loud parents, let's see you try to weasel your fucking way out of this," Church said in a cold-hearted tone that even made his spine shutter a tad bit.
He wasn't going to sit there and let Lincoln's parents get away with what they did to him, so he thought it'd be a perfect time to re-educate them on a subject everybody knows: proper parenting.
A/N: Alright, I hope you like the slight changes I've made. On the other hand, I shall see you guys later….ADIOS AMIGOS!
