A/N: Ahoy mateys! Anywho, you all know the drill, I don't own The Loud House nor The Expendables, they belong to their rightful owners. Anyway, I shall see you guys...AT THE BOTTOM!
As the Albatross flew passed Yllymakh, Russia, Lincoln was checking his gear, making sure everything fit right or was ready to be used if necessary. Lee was cleaning his little metal black buddies while occasionally looking back and noticed Lincoln was ready to rock and roll, when the time came if necessary. Toll and the others were geared up and ready to get the job over with, while Barney let Lee take control of the plane and stood to make an announcement.
"Listen up! We have to make sure our hostage is not harmed whatsoever, otherwise we won't get paid big time. That's one thing I forgot to mention, we are going to get paid about four hundred thousand dollars, each, if we make sure their building is nothing but a memory and there is not a nick or scratch on our guy." Barney announced while he heard either '10-4', 'Got it' or 'Understood' from the others. He decided to sit down next to Lincoln to show him his Colt revolver, the only backup he has ever had that would make him an old John Wayne type of person.
"Hey kid, wanna see my backup for the field?" Barney asked as Lincoln's face lit up with excitement while nodding slightly. Barney got out his Colt Single Army Revolver, which had a shortened barrel with a longer hammer for his thumb brace to hit as he shoots. "That is super cool, how fast are you when you shoot?" Lincoln asked as he then heard the English knife specialist groan.
"Please don't get him started, he boasts like there's no tomorrow about that ancient thing." Lee commented as Barney snorted while going back to sit in the cockpit.
Lincoln did as Lee told him to do once more, to check his gear to make sure everything was there and working right and to see it the uniform fit right. He went to see Toll Road as he was laying down wearing a pair of reading glasses while reading his book, the demolitions experts saw him and put up his book to see what was up. "Hey Toll, you got a minute?" Lincoln asked as the bald man nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
"Is it ok for me to be nervous on an operation like this, since it's my first one?" Lincoln asked him as Toll raised his eyebrows to the question. "Yeah, it's perfectly ok to be nervous, especially on your first op. But you have to push that aside and be on your toes, otherwise this will happen to you." He grabbed Lincoln softly, put him in a hold where his hand covered his mouth and dragged his thumb slowly across his throat in a joking way while making a throat slicing sound. "That will happen if you're not on your toes and concentrating, but you won't have to worry about firing a single round since the Russian mercenaries will be there to guard you, ok?" Toll confirmed as Lincoln grinned with his chipped tooth showing. Concerned for him, Toll thought of asking him how his tooth got chipped.
"What happened to your front tooth?" Toll asked as Lincoln sighed and told Toll what happened years ago to his front tooth.
"Well, my older sister, Lynn and I were at the park five years ago playing soccer, that she just bought and pumped it up. She had kicked it to me, apparently too hard, and it clocked me right in the mouth and chipped my tooth. I guess she was trying to show us exactly, who was boss." Lincoln explained as the rest of the Expendables were interested into the conversation. Yin decided to ask the one question Lincoln had been waiting for someone to ask for a long time.
"Does she always think she'll will win every game she plays?" The Asian man asked as Lincoln smacked his head softly and sighed with relief.
"That's what I've always wanted to tell her, but if I did she'll just say 'I'm Lynn Loud Jr, I'm always a winner at everything, nothing can stop me', and I find it ridiculous. You see Yang, she's the athletic one in the house, and she would always turn everything into a sport, like chores and stuff. There was one time, even basic household stuff she turned into a contest because we beat her at game night one time, it got to the point where we wanted her to beat all of us so we could finally get her to stop boasting." By the time Lincoln was done explaining, all the Expendables were gobsmacked.
Caesar took a knee in front of Lincoln and showed him a picture of him and his family. "That's my family right there, I have two daughters and one son, they can be a pain in my ass, but I still love them." Hale said softly as Lincoln nodded slowly before getting his laptop and showing the guys the Loud Family. Luckily, he had basic photos on his drive that him and the girls took like it was a regular family, which meant no crazy poses or anything.
"Now guys like I said before, I have ten sisters and no brothers, so sometimes I wish I had one. But I do sometimes try to help my sisters with whatever they need help with, even if it embarrasses me." Lincoln explained while the guys sat there waiting, as Lincoln pulled up the first photo of him and the girls on the front steps of the house. "These are my sisters: Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn Jr, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa and Lily. They can get on my nerves sometimes, but I can never hate them, but I do wish sometimes I had a brother to show the cool things that I like, instead of girly things." Lincoln stated as he started to tear up as Lee came up next to him and comforted him while the others took their seats since they were close to the field they would be landing at and meeting the other mercs at. As Lee was comforting Lincoln, he was hearing a voice in his head from his late father, Do what you must, Lee, comfort the child as it is your own. Lee shrugged it off and took his seat while the plane was beginning to land in a field by Aldan, Russia. They would place the bird a mile away, so Lincoln can get good signal on the radio and while assisting them as well.
As Barney was putting the bird down, he saw four Russian UAZ's with five males who were dressed in green camo clothing and holding AK-47's. As the plane went quiet, everyone piled out and made their way towards the five men by the vehicles. Barney was approached by one of the men, who was the leader and stood six foot one. Lincoln could tell this was going to be one hell of a story to explain when he went home in ten years, but for now, it was work time.
In Royal Woods
Church's jet landed at a small hanger in Royal Woods, as he got out there was a black government marked suburban none other than Trench Mauser and two FBI Agents. "Hey Church, what are we doing here?" Trench asked as Church gave him the arrest warrant. "What does a simple arrest warrant have to do with me?" Trench asked in confusion as Church took it back and gave him a Glock 22 and fake credentials that had his name on it, but they looked realistic, so it was easy to fool someone.
"Follow my lead, you got it. And you're gonna keep me from officially killing the father here." Church retorted as he was madder than a wet hen at an omelet scramble.
"I'm just going to scare the parents, rough the dad up a bit and get a good explanation out of them." Church explained as Trench shook his head lightly. "I'm not liking this but, I got it." Trench said defeated as Church drove towards the Loud Residence, ready to deliver justice towards the parents, while the FBI agents were there as to show they were not playing around.
As the two men pulled in front of the house, Church's anger was building more and more every step. They got to the door, hearing noise inside that got Trench questioning. "How many kids do they have?" Trench asked as he saw Church scoff while ringing the doorbell. "Wait and see." Church replied as the door opened to Rita holding Lily in her arms. She was flabbergasted to see the man who had arrested her baby boy, at her house.
"Remember me, Rita?" Church spat coldly as she gulped and nodded, still shocked to see the agent here at her house.
"Can we come in? We have something especially important to discuss with you and your husband." He continued as she led them to the living area.
"W-Why are you back here? Does it have to do with my baby boy?" Rita asked with concern in her voice as Church kept his stern face on while Lynn Sr came out to see what was going on. As soon as him and Church made eye contact, something inside the agent snapped, the beast had just been released! He got up and began to approach the patriarch while going for his waist to body slam him. As soon as he did, it was on!
Rita was sobbing and pleading for the agent to stop wailing on her husband while Trench was softly holding her back. The girls ran to see what was going on, and when Lynn Jr saw her father being thrown around in the kitchen like that, she grabbed her wooden baseball bat and ran to defend her father.
As Church was punching Lynn Sr, he was thinking of Lincoln, of how a nice kid he was could go through torture like he did when they locked him out, but he didn't know the entire story. All the girls were pleading for the agent to stop, but to their avail it was no use, he was so pissed he couldn't care less if he killed him. "You don't deserve to be a father after what you did to Lincoln!" Church bellowed as he heard a younger girls voice yell from behind. "Get away from my dad!" Lynn Jr yelled as she prepared to swing at the agent, while blocking out her family's calls to stop.
As she swung, the agent caught the wooden bat, disarmed the athlete, held it by both ends and snapped it over his knee. Lynn Jr was shocked to see the agent had caught the swing, but most importantly, why was he beating on her dad?
Church turned towards Lynn Sr and began to draw his firearm, Trench moved forward quickly and put him in a full nelson against the wall. "Get off of me Trench!" Church spat darkly as the austrian held tighter and whispered in his ear. "We are here to serve the warrant, correct?" Trench asked as Church groaned in agreement. Trench held the older agent as the young FBI agents went to grab the patriarch and get him cleaned up.
"Do you have a medical kit?" The first FBI agent asked honestly.
"I have it here." Lucy said, scared, as she handed the agent the kit.
"As soon as he's cleaned up, we'll talk to you about why we're here." The first FBI agent said to Rita as she cleaned up her face of tears while the others took Lily to Lori and Leni's room.
Lynn Sr had a busted nose, blood running down his face, a black eye and even a tooth fell out of his mouth. Since Trench knew a lot about medical, he didn't have any problem cleaning up someone who just gotten in a tussle.
"I deserved every bit of that. I should have never kicked Lincoln out of the house over some superstition!" Lynn Sr bellowed as the agents raised their eyebrows to the info that came out of his mouth.
"Clean yourself up, then meet us in the living room." The FBI agent snorted as Lynn Sr just stood there shocked to the man's behavior.
Rita was in the living room with Church while Trench came in and leaned next to the wall. "Now, I want you to explain the whole bad luck incident, don't leave anything out." Church said in a scary tone that made Rita gulp. She took a big breath in and began to explain what happened with the whole bad luck incident to Church.
"Lincoln wasn't going to any of Lynn Jr's softball games, so from what I was told she threatened him, and he gave in. So, after he participated in it, Lynn lost the game and blamed Lincoln for being bad luck, which he thought he would use that as his advantage to get out of family activities. Then it spread and made a big deal that we even excluded from even doing simple things with us. We even…" Rita stopped as started to sob from what she and the others did next. "...put his stuff up, thinking it was tainted with bad luck and made him sleep outside by boarding up his room." Rita explained as her voice started to crack at the end.
Trench was now getting angry with what Rita and Lynn Sr did, he felt like giving the patriarch a good pounding as well. Speaking of said man, he made his way onto the couch and laid his head on his wife's shoulder, while holding an ice pack to his face. "The reason I'm here was to serve this arrest warrant for you and your husband for 'Child Neglection'." As soon as Church said that, all the daughters, minus Lily, scrambled downstairs except for falling on top of each other and pleading with the agent not to take their parents away.
FWEET
As the warning whistle toned down, there was Church, who was ready to give them a good scolding. "Trench, take them upstairs while I finish this, okay." Church instructed as Trench nodded and went to take the 9 headed beast upstairs. "You heard him, go, now!" Trench barked sternly as Lori stepped forward, showing she had guts and yelled at the Austrian mercenary.
"You literally can't tell us what to do! Tell him, Mom!" Lori exclaimed as her mother stood up and gave a glare the girls haven't seen in forever.
"Go upstairs before I shut off the internet, take away all beauty products and anything you love, now!" Rita scolded as the girls didn't need to be told twice and made a beeline for their rooms.
"I'll make a deal with you two, if you can give me one reason why you did it...I'll have the FBI tear up the arrest warrant and walk right out of here." Church explained as Rita and Lynn Sr sat there with wide eyes. The agent was willing to tear up their arrest warrant if they told him why they participated in the bad luck incident.
"You'll walk out of here, if we tell you?" Lynn Sr. finally spoke up after a while. Church nodded and spoke in his cold tone. "You'll never hear from me or him, again." Church continued as he pointed to Trench as well.
"We did it because we just weren't thinking right at the time and thought bad luck was real. My baby could've died if I didn't stop it." Rita explained as her voice began to crack once again, Lynn pulling her to his shoulder and letting her cry. Just then, they heard paper tearing and saw Church, who was true to his word, tearing up the arrest warrant. "I'll be taking my leave now. If you do this type of shit, to any of the little ones again...I will take you and your husband in, understood?" Church stated as Rita and Lynn Sr wasted no time in nodding. Church pocketed the torn-up warrant and made his way out the door with Trench in tow.
Lori came downstairs with Lily to see her parents after the two men left. "You guys ok?" Lori asked with tears still in her eyes as she approached her parents, still trying to get a hold of themselves. Lori thought that Lily could at least lighten the mood with Lily's cuteness, so she put Lily on her mother's lap to see if she can cheer her up.
Rita could never be mad or upset at Lily in her life, maybe for a quick second if she ran naked, but other than that, she could never get mad. So, she smiled at her youngest daughter and snuggled with her as Lynn Sr joined in.
Later on, in Aldan, Russia
While the Loud family tried to calm down and take in the new info, The Expendables were with the Russian Mercenaries on their way to Aldan Russia via UAZ's, Lincoln was getting his laptop ready since he would be needing to guide the team through the halls, locate the hostage, grab the info, plant bombs and get out to see the destruction and get paid.
The leader of the Russian Mercenaries eyed the younger merc and questioned Barney. "Who is zis child you have brought along?" The leader asked as Barney took his cigar out of his mouth and introduced him to Lincoln.
"Lincoln, this is Sergei. And Sergei, this is Lincoln. This kid is good at what he does and can fight well enough." Barney introduced as Sergei nodded slowly and kept his eye on the road.
As the small convoy stopped right outside Aldan, Barney stepped out and began to instruct the others. "Now, everyone listen up! Once we're in the building, split up into three-man teams and clear the building until we find our hostage. Here is a photo of what he looks like, Lincoln will sweep through all the camera's until we find him, secure him, the documents and blow the whole building to hell." Barney instructed as everyone took a good glance at the photo of their hostage, especially Lincoln, since he would have to be looking through cameras and watching the guys' backs while they clear out rooms and search for the documents as well.
"Sergei, are you okay with two of your men staying to guard Lincoln as he does his job?" Barney asked as the russian thought for a moment and nodded. "Da. Viktor and Anton will keep watch of Comrade Lincoln." Sergei stated as he pointed towards said men. They got into their posts with Lincoln sitting in the back seat of the UAZ ready to assist the others in battle. As everyone was getting ready to hit the building site, Sergei gave Lincoln a flash drive to put on his computer. "Lincoln my friend, zis flash drive contains the software to hack into the security feed and to see us on the camera's, just make sure to put the password in that it has on a scrap of paper and you should be able to see us on the cameras from that point on." Sergei explained in his Russian accent as Lincoln nodded sternly and took the flash drive and password, put it into the computer and waited for instructions.
Barney and the others took the other UAZ and made their way towards the building, Lincoln heard Lee on the radio. "Oi Lincoln, you can move the camera around while checking the area. Watch our six, make sure to give us either the 'ok to proceed' or 'it's a no go' when you see a tango or not." Lee explained on the throat mic while Lincoln groaned as a reply to the Englishman.
"Hey kid, we're in front of the building, you see us waving at the camera?" Barney asked as Lincoln looked at camera one where it showed all the men in front, in battle mode. "That's a big 10-4, I see you guys perfectly." Lincoln explained on the radio as he saw the guys bust through the doors and raising hell. He kept up with them on the camera's as Barney, Lee and Sergei killed three enemies in one room, while the others split up into groups.
Yang and Gunnar took one of Sergei's men, Toll Road and Caesar took the other while Barney and Lee kept Sergei with them. "Barney, watch out on your left, there's a guard coming your way." Lincoln warned as he saw a guard coming the leader's way on the connecting camera. "Got it." Barney responded as he was about to shoot the guard when a familiar knife met his face and dug into his eye socket. "Quit cockblocking my kills you dick!" Barney scolded his second in command when the Russian leader stepped in between them.
"We're here to do a job, not dick around like bunch of preschoolers." He spat in his thick Russian accent as Barney and Lee nodded and continued to find the hostage and files.
While Barney, Lee and Sergei were checking the west wing, Toll and Hale took the east with their guy, Nikolai. They checked rooms and the small utility closets, but so far luck on their end. As they were searching for the hostage and files, Lincoln saw more and more enemies approaching the hallways. "Toll, heads up on the west hallway, there are multiple tangos coming your way!" Lincoln shouted as Toll saw a camera and a stern nod.
He brought out his rifle and unloaded rounds into the 3 enemies before they could call for more help.
"Good kill Toll." Lincoln complemented as he saw Toll, Caesar and Nikolai move down towards the hall to check more and more rooms. On the north wing, Yin and Gunnar had a quiet russian with them, Dimitri, who just did what he was told and never asked questions. He swept rooms with his quick trigger finger and just strolled out like it was nothing. "This is ridiculous, the hostage has got to be here somewhere!" Gunnar called out in annoyance as he then radioed Lincoln. "Lincoln, can you search the feed and find the target?!" Yin called on the radio as Gunnar and Dimitri guarded him. "Give me one second and I shall have an answer!" Lincoln replied as he searched for Bürküt Karga, their hostage, in the building while also watching the guys' backs as well.
He searched the camera's until… he saw a man tied to a chair, gagged, hands tied behind the chair and with a blindfold on too. It must be our hostage Lincoln thought as he got on the radio to let Barney know where their hostage was.
"Barney! I found Karga, he's in the far west corner of the building!" Lincoln exclaimed as Barney, Lee and Sergei stopped in their tracks to reply to the info. "Good job kid, we're on our way there. Toll Road, make sure you, Caesar and Nikolai head that way with the C4." Barney instructed as everyone made their way towards the far west of the building to meet up.
As they made their way there, Lincoln kept tabs on the other camera's near their position to make sure no one would flank them and kill any of the guys. Once he saw everyone there near the door, Barney spoke up with a worried voice.
"Uhh, Lincoln, see if you're able to unlock this door from your laptop. You should be able to. This door has got an electronic lock on it, so we can't get in without damaging the door." Barney explained as Lincoln found a the side tab of the software Sergei gave him to unlock the door with. After a few seconds on the keyboard, the door clicked green meaning it was now opened. "Open Sesame, you're good to go." Lincoln finally said as the team ran in shooting the two guards in the room.
Barney and the others untied Karga and prepared to transport him to the plane. As they were Toll, Yin, Lee and Hale were placing charges around the marked spots in the building, so they made sure the building no longer existed.
While the guys were out of the building and out range, they blew the charges with a huge BANG, they made their way back to the UAZ's to get out of dodge. Lincoln watched the camera feed lose connection and felt proud he assisted the rest in retrieving a hostage, but little did he know, the real action for him was just starting.
There were five more enemies approaching Anton, Viktor and Lincoln's position, then they heard a voice bellow through the meadow. "Attack on sight!" A high Russian voice bellowed out as there was a barrage of bullets throughout the vehicles. Lincoln took cover as Anton and Viktor crouched down and returned fire towards the enemies. Anton took a couple headshots at two tangos while Viktor rushed the other two and faced them in hand-to-hand combat. While the two Russians were scrapping, the fifth tango opened the UAZ that Lincoln was in. He screamed and was pulled out by the man by excessive force.
Lincoln elbowed the man as much as he could, but to his avail, no luck at all. He remembered his knife and the M1911 he had, so he drew the kunai and rammed it into the tango's thigh. The tango yelped in pain as Lincoln was released from his grip and drew his gun. The man was so focused on his wound he didn't see Lincoln holding him at gunpoint.
The young hacker sported a stern face and pulled the trigger, POW POW POW. That's what it took to bring the wounded tango to his knees. Three bullet wounds to the chest area, all three bullets landed close to his heart and looked like they did some damage. Lincoln holstered his gun, grabbed his knife and charged the man with all his might. He then thrusted the knife into the man's stomach, but the way Lincoln charged at the man took them both down a small hill.
They rolled down the hill, separating as they did. Lincoln noticed he was at the bottom of the hill, he got up and noticed the man lying face down in the grass. Angry, Lincoln decided it was time to end the man's life for trying to take his own from him. It was time, he was here working and now was the time to take drastic measures, he grabbed his knife that was a couple feet away from the man, turned him over and located his arteries in his neck. Thank you, Lisa, for showing me Human Biology and the Cardiovascular System, Lincoln thought as he sliced the artery with force, he also watched the man's eyes widen from his mask. Blood poured from his neck and onto Lincoln's hands, the kunai and even squirted a bit onto his face and hair, missing his eyes thankfully. Lincoln removed the mask and still fueled with anger, proceeded to punch the dead man as if he was still alive.
As Lincoln was having a bloody dispute, The Expendables made their way back to the vehicles. As they were about to get out of the area, Barney noticed something. "Where's Lincoln?" Barney asked as everyone else looked around in search of the white-haired hacker.
"Guys, get over here!" Gunnar yelled while everyone made their way over to the chemical engineer. He pointed to the puddle of blood on the ground, then to a horrific sight.
Lincoln sitting beside the battered deceased man. Sergei and everyone else watched the hostage while Barney, Lee and Toll walked down the hill slowly.
As the three mercs got closer, they noticed Lincoln had blood on him, but not from injuries, from the dead man's wounds. Lee saw Lincoln was gripping his knife with force, like he never wanted to let go. Lee got down on one knee and looked the hacker over, he had blood on his face; nothing like a good shower and a trip to the clinic wouldn't help.
"You okay?" Lee asked as Lincoln looked at him with tears running down his cheeks. He was sweaty, bloody and crying, something a child like him should never go through. But he knew doing this job would have choices as well as having consequences too.
"I-I killed him. He grabbed me o-out of the car and tried to…" Lincoln couldn't finish his sentence as he went to strike the dead man in the eye with the kunai by the rage built up in him. Lee moved forward to restrain Lincoln from making himself a walking red marker any further. "Give Toll the knife, Lincoln." Barney instructed as Lincoln nodded and gave Toll the bloody kunai. "Let's go home." Toll said as he patted Lincoln on the shoulder.
Everyone made their way back to the plane, saying goodbye to the Russian mercs and thanking them for the assistance. "The young one did a good job at helping us, this is the right line of work for him." Sergei commented as Barney shook his hand while nodding. "Yeah, I know. I appreciate the help, take care now, Sergei." The veteran stated as said man nodded while dispersing.
The plane ride back was quiet, it was dark outside, and everyone was asleep, except for Barney, Toll and Lincoln. The demolitions expert looked at the hacker with a worried look in his eyes, he saw him looking at his hands as if they were cut off. They were bloody and trembling, he had a scared look in his eyes.
Toll got up from his spot, grabbed a water bottle and made his way toward Lincoln. "Hey, Lincoln." Toll stated as said person looked up to see his caretaker motioning him to follow to the back of the plane, where they kept a little homemade sink. "Take your gear off, then your shirt and lastly lean your head into the bowl, okay?" Toll instructed as Lincoln nodded did what he was told, stripping out of his gear and shirt while finally letting him wash his hair from the blood that decided to let itself get into his hair, face, and hands.
After Lincoln got cleaned up, he dried with a towel and went to sleep. Lee watched him lay down close by, feeling worried that Lincoln may be traumatized from killing the enemy with such force. But then again, Lincoln did what he was told and went for the kill, it may have been gruesome, but it was part of the job. "I'm worried 'bout Lincoln, he was looking at his hands as if he killed that merc with them." Lee explained in a concerned voice to the leader, who was also wondering what was going on in Lincoln's mind.
Back in New Orleans
As everyone went their own ways, Toll was driving back to the house, with Lincoln beside him, he started to remember back in front of Lincoln's school.
(He broke down in front of Lincoln's school due to him finally being able to watch a child and even raise one. It felt good to finally have some good responsibilities.)
He shut the car off, grabbed Lincoln, made his way inside, put him on the couch while grabbing one of the duvets and covering him with it. He grabbed two apple juice bottles from the fridge and put one down by Lincoln on the coffee table. It was one in the morning, so Toll decided no training in the morning, despite what Lincoln went through in Russia, it wasn't worth it.
Toll got his night clothes on and was in his bed, thinking of how to help Lincoln get through his first kill.
In Royal Woods
At the Santiago Residence, Maria Santiago had been out of town when Lincoln was taken in, so she wasn't informed until now.
"DIOS MIO! Roberto, are you sure it's Lincoln?" The matriarch asked as Bobby nodded, who was out of bed and rubbing his eyes, needed to tell his mother what happened to his girlfriend's brother.
"I never knew Lincoln could do something that extreme. He's in there for how long, Roberto?" Maria asked her oldest son as he took a deep breath in and told her.
"Ten years until he can get out, or a year or two if he has good behavior." Bobby explained as Maria looked shocked and was about to pass out, which she was about to. She hit the floor, luckily not hitting her head.
"Mamá! Are you ok?!" Bobby asked while checking his mother who was getting to her knees while recovering.
"Si', I'm fine Roberto. Can you help me to my bedroom me, mijo?" The matriarch asked sweetly as her son nodded and helped his mother to her room for the night.
7 Hours Later
As the sun came up, the Loud House was still quiet, everyone, minus Luna; because of her punishment, was doing their own things, but quieter. Lynn Sr couldn't even focus on what to make for breakfast due to the beating Church gave him the previous day. Since it was Sunday, Lori thought she would call a meeting, but a special meeting-Sister Meeting Committee.
"You all know why I literally called you girls here, right?" Lori asked as everyone nodded, minus Lily because she was too busy playing with Bun Bun.
"I miss Lincoln, dudes. It hurts so much to think what could happen to him in jail." The Rockstar said as Lily snuggled up next to her, trying to cheer her up, who couldn't refuse as always.
"I know Luna, we all do." Lori replied to the Rockstar.
"I have an idea!" Leni said which got everyone's attention. "Why don't we, like, video chat him later!"
Everyone thought that was a good idea, so they nodded and thought it was a good idea.
"Great idea, I think it'd be a bit nice to see Linky after what happened." Lola said as she saw Lori sport a small smile and nod.
"All in favor of calling Lincoln on skype and talking to him." Lori stated as she saw everyone's hand shoot up.
"Aye!" Everyone said in unison as they got ready to face chat Lincoln later.
Back in New Orleans
Tool was up and drinking coffee while eating a bagel with cream cheese, until he heard a knock at the front door. Who would be here at this early Toll thought as he got up to check the door, while glancing at Lincoln, who was sleeping soundly. He opened the door to find Barney, Lee and Tool, who weren't happy but concerned.
"What's up?" The demolitions expert asked as Tool was the first to speak up.
"I heard the kid killed a merc out there in Aldan Russia." Tool stated as he showed a worried face.
"Yeah, he was looking at his hands as if they were either the weapon or something. Come on in." Toll replied as all men followed inside and made their way to the table while glancing at Lincoln on the couch.
"Coffee?" Toll asked while holding up the freshly brewed pot, as everyone else held their hands up to the gesture.
As they mercs were getting coffee, Lincoln slowly started to wake up. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes while getting up slowly to get something to eat.
"Oi' look who's up." Lee stated as Lincoln looked up to see Toll, Lee, Tool and Barney at the kitchen table drinking a regular cup of joe.
"Morning guys." Lincoln slurred as Tool pulled a seat up for the hacker.
"Listen, we need to talk about what happened in Russia." Barney instructed as Lincoln nodded slowly.
A/N: Yep, there's a cliffhanger. I hope you appreciate the better writing and fixed mistakes here, since I was a teenager when I wrote this story until I turned 18. Anywho, I gotta get a move on, so I shall see you guys in the next one, ADIOS AMIGOS!
