A/N: Heya.

Anyway, enough of my waffle, I shall see you…AT THE BOTTOM!

Lincoln was going to his next class of the first day, which was Gymnastics. He headed to the gym and saw there were all sorts of soft padding and other stuff for the class that he didn't see a fit, but old teacher come up from behind him. "Can I help you?" He said in a kind but gentle tone. Lincoln turned around and saw the teacher smiling at him. "Yes, I'm here for Gymnastics class." Lincoln said as the teacher stuck out his hand. "The name is Mr. Miles. What's your name?" Mr. Miles asked as Lincoln shook his hand.

"Lincoln Loud. Do you teach this class, Mr. Miles?" Lincoln asked as the man smiled and nodded. "I've been teaching gymnastics for 15 years. I've been healthy and fit since I got out of the Air Force in 79'. I was in a Pararescue Jumper for 10 years and knew Krav Maga, BJJ, Submission Wrestling and basic military combat. I can still even do the splits. C'mon in and let's get you ready for class." Mr. Miles said as he walked Lincoln into the gym and over to the cart with what looked like tights for guys and a blue t-shirt.

"You'll need to change into these. Make sure you leave your boxers on as well. Class starts in 8 minutes, so go ahead and go get changed and come back out here to help me." Mr. Miles said as Lincoln walked toward the guy's locker room to get changed into his gymnastics clothes.

As Lincoln changed into his tights, he wondered if Mr. Miles would make him do the splits and other flexible exercises. After he got changed, he felt a pair of arms wrap around his chest. "What the fuck?" Lincoln said in a whisper as he was turned around and saw his beloved boyfriend, smiling at him. "It's just me." Arthur said as he set his forehead against Lincoln's.

"So, you have Gymnastics with me since you had the last 3 classes without me in them?" Lincoln asked as they kissed passionately. As their tongues rolled around in their mouths, Arthur pushed Lincoln against the locker and growled playfully. "Yes, I do. I also have Chemistry and U.S. History too." Arthur said as he nipped at Lincoln's ear before licking down the side of his boyfriend's neck. "That's good. I'm glad." Lincoln said with a moan as he then looked at Arthur's black diamond stud earrings in his ears; they looked so hot on him.

"Your earrings are so hot to look at. They're getting me hard right now." Lincoln whispered in Arthur's ear as he growled and reversed the position that they were in.

As they were kissing, the sound of someone clearing their throat stopped their moment. "Boys, care to explain why you're kissing in the locker room?" It was Mr. Miles, and he seemed a bit upset. He didn't look super pissed, but he wasn't happy either. Lincoln and Arthur looked at him and blushed while looking at the floor. "We're dating, Mr. Miles. Lincoln is Bisexual and I'm Gay. We love each other to death. Please don't be mad." Arthur said while scratching the back of his neck. Mr. Miles sighed and told the boys to follow him. The boys did so and followed the man to his office outside the locker room.

"Have a seat, boys." Mr. Miles said as the two did so and sat with shame in their eyes.

"Boys, I have no problem with the LGBTQ. In fact, my younger sister has a wife and they've been married for 30 years. But I will not accept is if you two go super lovey-dovey. And I mean if I catch you taking each other's clothes off or if it leads to oral, you both will go straight to the vice principal's office. Do I make myself clear?" He said in a stern tone, while his arms were crossed over his chest. "Yes, sir." Both boys said in unison.

"Now, let's head back to the gym, we start class in 5 minutes. Arthur, I need you in your tights immediately so we can learn to do the side split and the front split. Down the road, we'll learn to do the standing split and the straddle split leap. Even though I'm old, I can still do all of them. Now, go hang out in the gym until the bell rings." Mr. Miles said as the boys went to hang in the gym.

Later in Chemistry class, while Lincoln was working with Dakota on an assignment, the intercom went off. "Lincoln Loud to the office. Lincoln Loud to the office, you're going home." The intercom said as Lincoln grabbed his bag, hugged the Cherokee, and went down to the office on the bottom floor. As Lincoln walked into the office, he saw Lee signing him out.

"Hey, Lee. What's up?" Lincoln said as the brit smiled and wrapped his arm around Lincoln's shoulder. "Well, I decided since you're 15 and a half, that I wanna teach you how to drive and help you get your learners permit." Lee said as they walked out of the school and towards Lee's car.

"So, I'm able to get my permit in a few weeks to a month if I practice?" Lincoln asked as they got in the Porsche. Lee drove away from the school and headed towards Lee's place.

As they got to the Englishman's house, they went in and began studying for an hour and a half. Lee saw the car that Caesar got Lincoln when he would turn 16; so, it would be good to see the look on Lincoln's face, when he sees it.

After studying for a while, Lee decided to take Lincoln back to Toll's house. He would keep picking Lincoln up for the next 3 weeks until they finished studying the driver's manual. Later around 5:30 pm, Lincoln was working on his biceps when he finished and went to take a shower.

He knew High School wasn't gonna be easy, but he decided to plow through and get it over with. For the next hour, Lincoln went to work on his Algebra homework until it was time for relaxation.

32 days later, Friday, the 11th of September, Lincoln was in his US History class when the bell rang; it was time to go home. He grabbed his stuff and started to head towards his bus, where three 12th graders were waiting. They were also an inch or two taller than Lincoln and saw him coming. "Look who we got here; it's Prince White, or is he an old man?" One 12th grader said who had messy brown hair and wore a black tank top with brown cargo shorts and black vans as he and the other 2 laughed. Lincoln chuckled to himself and decided to roast this fucker.

"You know, that's funny coming from a Crescent City Cajun Shaggy from Scooby Doo. I mean seriously, where is Scooby Doo for fuck sakes?" Lincoln said as the 2 other 12th graders were doing the 'oh' sound and pointing at their comrade, who was madder than ever.

As Lincoln was getting on the bus, the brown-haired 12th grader grabbed Lincoln's shoulder, but Lincoln grabbed his arm and did an Ippon Seoi Nage on him, while the other two 12th graders stood there in complete shock. Lincoln then grabbed his backpack he threw on the ground and got on the bus. "Everything alright out there?" The bus driver asked as Lincoln sat in his seat and put his earbuds in to listen to music.

Later, Lincoln was doing clap pushups, squats, and lunges when Toll Road called him for dinner. Toll Road knew some recipes to help Lincoln gain muscle mass; for dinner, it was Tilapia, broccoli, mixed greens and spinach with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Lincoln and Toll Road talked about random shit until Toll Road got a call from Barney. He answered it as he took a bite of fish…and he wasn't expecting what Barney had to say either.

"What's up, Barney?" Toll said as he chewed his food. By the way Toll's face was, it was bad. "We're going to Egypt!" Toll said as he choked on his food. Lincoln patted him on the back to help him dislodge the food in his windpipe. After properly swallowing the food, Toll continued the conversation, he hung up the phone.

"What's up? Is that a job from Mr. Owl?" Lincoln asked as Toll nodded and ate another bite of food. "Yeah. We're gonna be going to Asyut, Egypt to take out a high priority target. He'll be paying us 5 million each." Toll said as he drank his beer.

"Ok. Is Tool gonna watch me?" Lincoln asked as Toll shook his head. "No. He's going on vacation to New York to visit a friend of his. I trust you enough to be on your best behavior until we get back. I mean, you have the next two weeks off due to conferences. So, if anyone needs you, have Becky pick you up." Toll said as he finished his food and went to clean his plate.

"Okay. I'll most likely be working out, hanging out with my friends or Arthur." Lincoln said as he finished his plate and went to wash it. For the next hour, Lincoln was doing sit-ups on the bench designed for them with a 20-pound weight on his chest. Toll Road left as soon as they were done with dinner and left the house keys for Lincoln to get back inside if he left. After Lincoln was done with his workout, he went to take a shower to get all the sweat off. As he undressed in the bathroom, he noticed his groin was more and more toned; even his member was thicker.

"Holy fucking shit. I'm huge as fuck." Lincoln said as he held himself in his hand and squeezed lightly. He got in the shower and cleaned himself off. After he was done in the shower, he got dressed in his compression nightwear and noticed how firm they were on him. They might have shrunk a bit, Lincoln thought as he moved around in them a bit and stretched.

As he was doing that, his phone started ringing. "Hello?" He answered as he knew the voice on the other side. "Hey babe. Whatcha doing?" It was Arthur, and he sounded happy. "Hey, I just got out of the shower. What about you?" Lincoln said as he was disassembling his Airsoft Glock 34 to clean it.

"I wanted to see if I can spend the night. Is it okay?" Arthur asked as Lincoln smiled. "Sure. Bring some overnight clothes. You can sleep with me in my bed, so we can snuggle." Lincoln said as he finished cleaning his Glock. "Cool. I'll be over there soon. I'm also bringing over a special surprise, to celebrate our late anniversary." Arthur said as he hung up and left Lincoln to question what he was bringing.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Lincoln heard the doorbell and heard Abbey barking too. She had gotten big too, so Lincoln made sure she was taken on walks as well. "Abbey, no barking." Lincoln said sternly as he opened the door and saw his boyfriend standing there, smiling. "Hey babe." Arthur said as he hugged Lincoln and kissed him.

"I never knew you had a dog." Arthur said as he bent down to pet Abbey. Then, they walked to Lincoln's room to play video games and whatnot. While they were playing, Arthur went into his backpack and pulled out a bottle what looked like to be alcohol. "I got an idea, Lincoln." Arthur said as the white haired-15-year-old looked at him with a look in his eyes. "What's the idea?" Lincoln asked as he then saw the bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey.

"We play a match of Team Deathmatch and whoever loses has to down 5 shots of whiskey. Sound fair?" Arthur said as he got out the shot glasses to pour the whiskey into.

"Sounds good. Get ready to lose, babe." Lincoln said as they played. They played a good game for a solid 10 minutes before Lincoln was ahead a couple of points and won. "I won. But go ahead and pour 5 more shot so I can join you." Lincoln said as he smiled at his boyfriend. Arthur poured ten shots and lined them up. "Ready?" Arthur said as Lincoln kissed him on the lips with tender care. They both took turns downing the shots; each shot of whiskey burning their throats. After they finished their shots, they were both a bit buzzed, so they decided to have 5 more while getting used to the alcohol. After their drinking, they laid on the bed in a spooning position while Arthur had his hands on Lincoln's crotch; he was hard and ready.

"I wanna taste you again, baby." Arthur said in a slur as he undid Lincoln's zipper and pulled out his thick member, which surprised himself. He blushed but took the whole thing in his mouth before bobbing his head down on it and fondling Lincoln's jewels too. Lincoln moaned and groaned as he kept his hand in Arthur's hair and breathed in and out through his teeth. Arthur swirled his tongue around the head of Lincoln's member and sucked harder with his mouth.

"That feels so fucking good, babe. Don't you stop." Lincoln said as he then heard his phone ring. Lincoln pulled Arthur off himself and answered the phone. "Hello?" He answered as the voice sounded happy.

"Hey Lincoln, I got good news. The 50-million-dollar bounty that Baran had on her head is now taken care of. And since you took her out, the money is now being transferred into your account with an extra 50 million. So, you now 120 million in there since you had 20 million already in your account. I just wanted to let you know that. So, enjoy the rest of your day." Axel said as Lincoln smiled like a kid in a candy store as Arthur heard every bit of the conversation.

"You have 120 million dollars in your bank account?" Arthur said as he started to cry. Lincoln fixed himself up and put himself away as he comforted Arthur.

"Babe, it's what I get from work. I promise. The money isn't important to me…you're important to me." Lincoln said as kissed Arthur on the cheek, which got the brown-haired boy to smile. "You promise?" Arthur asked as he wiped his eyes of tears.

"Stake my heart and hope to die while crimson flow from my eyes." Lincoln said as Arthur went wide eyed to the horrific version of the children's promise.

"I'm serious. I promise, okay." Lincoln said as he pecked his boyfriend's lips, making him smile. They hung out the rest of the day until the 13th of September, which was Sunday, rolled around. Arthur had a doctor's appointment, so, he had to leave to go to it.

Lincoln was left doing Crunches, Bulgarian lunges, Diamond pushups and even pull-ups for a good hour before working on his fanning with his Airsoft Revolver that Barney got him.

It was the exact same as Barney's except it took CO2 and was even cooler. Barney showed him how to shoot it, but Lincoln wanted to see how good he could get by practicing.

Ever since Lincoln arrived when he was 11, Lee and Yang began teaching him how to be multilingual.

It was the 16th of September, on a Wednesday, and Lincoln was watching television in the living room around 5 am, when he got a call from Axel.

"Hey Axel, what's up?" Lincoln said as the man sounded happy.

"Kid, I got a good job for you. I'll have Ines pick you up, so I can explain everything. This job is one that I know you'll like." Axel said as he then hung up. Lincoln then got his phone charged and ready to go for when Ines would text him. So, he decided to work out for a bit until he would make himself breakfast.

He worked on his triceps for a good solid hour until he felt it was necessary to stop and get a shower. Lincoln took a good warm shower and got dressed in all black; short-sleeved black henley, black jeans and even black converse. He was playing video games until close to 3 pm, that's when his phone started to ring. He picked it up and answered it.

"Hello?" Lincoln said as he had the phone sitting on the charger all day.

"Hey Lincoln, I'm about to pull up to the house to pick you up. Be outside waiting." It was Ines and she sounded happier than ever. Lincoln hung up and took his fully charged phone with him and went outside to meet the 29-year-old Interpol agent. As Lincoln got in the woman's car, he was greeted with a kiss to the cheek from her, which got his nether regions tingling.

"You ready?" Ines asked as she rubbed his thigh with hard precision. "Yeah. I'm ready." He said in a husky voice as Ines drove back to the landing strip. As they drove back, Lincoln decided to ask Ines something he had been waiting to ask her. "Have you ever had sex even once, Ines?" Lincoln asked as Ines stopped at a light. "No. I'll still a virgin. Why?" Ines said as she started tearing up, which surprised Lincoln.

"Ines, look at me." Lincoln ordered as Ines got a hold of herself and looked at the teenager. "I will make sure that when we have sex, that it'll be the best damn day of your whole life. Do you understand?" Lincoln said as he got her to smile.

"Toll Road and the others are on a mission and won't be back for a couple more days." Lincoln said before pecking her cheek and letting her know there was people behind them. Ines drove to the airstrip and the two got on the plane to Lyon, France.

After the 12-hour flight, they arrived in France around 3 am and headed to the Interpol office. As they entered the building and went up to Axel's office, he was waiting for them. "Follow me to the briefing room." He said as Lincoln and Ines followed him to a large conference room where a projector was turned on and showing an old town in Northern France.

"Listen up; we have our undercover agent, Bella Weber, was discovered by a horrific cult he was going undercover for and is now captured in Broves, France. Now, I'm sending in 3 of you, with our informant, Lincoln, here to extract her. Any takers?" Axel explained as no agents raised their hands until 3 hands went up from Agents Perrin, Guerin and Knight went up.

Perrin was a cocky but happy guy who was in his 30's, stood 5 foot 10, had blonde hair and always liked the field work. Guerin was an understandable but kind guy who was in his 40's, stood the same as Perrin, had brown hair and didn't mind field work while Knight was somewhat rude and nosey, he was in his late 20's, stood 5 foot 11, had black hair and was worried about getting shot in the field.

"Ah, Perrin, Guerin and Knight. Good choice. Now, Lincoln here will go with you to Broves to extract Agent Weber from the village. Go get geared up with suppressed weapons, bulletproof vests and get the van warmed and fueled up. You're gonna need the extra gas. Briefing closed." Axel said as the 3 agents eyed Lincoln but went to get geared up.

"Now Lincoln, I'm leaving you with the information and in the agents' care. Let me know if anything happens or if they're rude to you. Okay?" Axel said as he shook Lincoln's hand. He walked Lincoln to the weapons vault to get geared up. Lincoln was already dressed in tactical colors, all he needed was a bulletproof vest, pistol holster and a UMP-45.

"Now Agents, if I find out that you are rude to my informant, there will be hell to pay. Compris?" Axel said in his native tongue at the end as the agents nodded.

"Oui monsieur." They all replied in French as Lincoln knew what they were saying. Lincoln strapped up his leg holster and his bulletproof vest and made sure everything was in order. They put their UMP-45's in a duffel bag and made their way to the cargo van down in the parking garage.

On the way to Broves, they all made sure their weapons were suppressed, so they could limit the noise. They knew they would get there by at least 7 am, so Guerin and Knight decided to get some shut-eye while Perrin drove, but Lincoln looked at the files on the cult. The cult called themselves the 'Sang Guivre' which meant Blood Guivre in French.

The guivre's were creatures of France a long time ago, and they were the trademark creature for the cult. They worshipped the devil and even did horrible things in their alone time, especially to the newcomers.

"Jesus fucking Christ." Lincoln whispered to himself as he looked at the photos of what the cult did to the outsiders they captured. They carved a Guivre logo of the head onto the back of their victims and made them starve for months. It made his stomach churn, and he felt a bit of stomach acid come up, but he swallowed it and kept reading the files. Lincoln then grabbed his CZ P09 and put a suppressor on it before getting some sleep before they arrived in Broves.

It was around 7:15 when they arrived outside the village limits. So, everyone got out and went in on foot until they were on the side of a building and saw some cult members on patrol with MP7's about 30 yards away from them.

"I got an idea. What I can do is take them out and have two of you guys drag their corpses to the back of the buildings." Lincoln explained as the agents were surprised. "I say let's do it." Perrin said as he and the other three agents agreed and followed Lincoln. The white-haired 15-year-old went to the sideline of the buildings and shot one of the cult members in the head while he threw his knife that he had with him in the other cult member's jugular. It was a quick but silent kill as Perrin, Knight moved the bodies into the brush and followed Lincoln to kill more of the cult members. They kept quiet until one of the cult member's shouted out and gave their location away. "Des intrus! Ligne de côté des bâtiments!" He said as Lincoln and the three agents took cover in an abandoned shop.

Lincoln knew it was time to go loud, so he and the others took the suppressors off and went crazy. Guerin was carrying his Glock 17 TB; Knight was using a Kimber Custom TLE while Perrin was using his Para Black Ops Combat pistol. They all took turns shooting at the cult, killing some that were in the open.

"I'm going to flank them and take some out! Watch my back!" Lincoln yelled as the agents covered him and watched as he disappeared into the brush. As they watched Lincoln fade into the grass, they were taking fire until they heard a familiar gunshot of Lincoln's CZ P09. Lincoln took down a cult member with a single shot to the forehead and then crossed over to the other side and came up behind a cult member who was the same height as Lincoln, and he put the member in a strong choke hold.

The cult member tried to reach for his pistol that was just too far for him to reach, so Lincoln readjusted himself and snapped the man's neck. He then heard the cries of another member coming up from behind him, so he blocked his attack with a side block, wrapped his arms around his neck and dove his knee into the man's gut super hard.

Then, he did an Advancing Front Kick to the man's groin before doing a Sankyo Nage move on him. Lincoln then turned the man over and jabbed him in the throat with his hand. He left the man coughing before quickly turning around and shooting him in the heart as he began to stand up.

Lincoln then went over to the window and motioned for the men to move forward. They checked every building until they found Agent Weber in a small hut, all tied up in a chair with a ballgag in her mouth. Agent Weber was a smart, but naïve agent who was in her early 30's; she had brunette colored hair, stood 5 foot 7 and wore a blue t-shirt, black pants and boots.

"Weber, are you alright?" Perrin said as he took the gag out of her mouth.

"No, they broke my arm and tortured me. I need a hospital, now." Weber said as she coughed a bit of blood. Perrin and Knight helped her down the path back to the van. Guerin and Lincoln checked all the bodies and made sure they were dead before joining them at the van.

After driving back to Lyon, France, it was 11 am and Lincoln was ready to go back home. They got back and Axel told Guerin and Knight to take Weber to the hospital. Lincoln walked into Axel's office with a smile on his face. "Well, we extracted Weber out of there. So, how much will I be getting?" Lincoln asked as Axel smiled back.

"I'll be sending 5 million into your account. Now, Ines will take you back." Axel said as Lincoln shook hands with the man before departing with Ines. Lincoln arrived back in New Orleans around 11 pm and went to fix himself a quick dinner before hitting the hay.

On Saturday, the 19th of September, Lincoln woke up around 5 am and went on a two mile run before coming back and working on his back by doing Bent-Over Barbell Deadlifts, Wide-Grip Pull-ups, and Single-Arm Dumbbell Rows for a solid hour before taking a nice warm shower and getting dressed in a blue short-sleeved henley, black jeans and red converse.

Later around 11 am, Toll Road got back and had some scrapes and cuts; nothing that he wasn't used to already. "Hey, how was it while I was gone?" Toll asked as he got a beer from the fridge. Lincoln was reading his book on Human Anatomy and shrugged his shoulders.

"I went to work for Axel again and had to extract one of his agents from Broves, France that was undercover for this horrifying cult." Lincoln said as Toll was surprised of what Lincoln said.

"You feel like going to the gym tomorrow to work on your glutes more?" Toll asked as Lincoln nodded.

For the next week, Lincoln and Toll went to the gym the whole week and did Flat Bench Lying Leg Raises, Wide-Stance Barbell Squats, Single Leg Glute Bridges, Butt Lifts, Barbell Lunges and Sumo Deadlifts for the whole week and for an hour and a half while they were at the gym. Lincoln felt like his ass was about ready to fall off, but saw his ass was even more firm as he looked at it in the mirror in the bathroom.

34 days later, it was the day before Halloween and Lincoln were playing GTA with Dakota and the others on their Xbox when James brought up a good idea.

"Why don't we go to that party that the seniors are having and spike the drinks with laxatives. Sounds fun, right guys?" James said as everyone was on board, except Lincoln. "I don't know guys, what if we can't get in?" Lincoln said with worry in his voice.

"Oh, c'mon Lincoln. They're starting to bully some of the other freshman. I heard some of them are starting to get shoved into lockers trash cans, books knocked out of their hands and even knocked down for no reason. We need to show these äiti kusipää who they're messing with." Sebastian said in his native Finnish tongue and calmed down a bit.

"I guess. Please tell me someone knows a 12th grader who can get us in." Lincoln said as no one spoke up…until Dawson cleared his throat.

"Um, I may know someone." Dawson said as everyone waited. "Her name is Patricia Mooney, and she's from California. I've been friends with her since 4th grade. I trust her to the core." Dawson said as he blushed on his side.

"Well, call her!" Dakota said as he couldn't wait to teach the 12th graders who's boss. "Well, I'll have my sister get the liquid laxatives and we'll all spend the night at my house, so she can drive us all to the party and meet up with Patricia a block away from the party." Sebastian explained as everyone accepted and kept playing the game until they agreed to go to the Finnish American's house.

Sebastian Koskela's grandfather was an immigrant from Northern Finland and moved to America in the late mid-70's, until he met his wife, then they had his father; Jake Koskela. He had met his wife, Diane Bryant, in 2001. They got married around in their late 20's and had Sebastian in April of '05. Sebastian started speaking Finnish when he was 5 and knew only Finnish, Spanish, and English since then.

Lincoln then went to ask Toll Road if he could go to Sebastian's house, and he said yes. So, Lincoln got Sebastian on the phone and had Toll Road talk to the Diane Koskela.

After waiting a bit, Toll Road handed the phone back to Lincoln and telling him to get his stuff ready. Lincoln went to get his bag packed, so he could bring overnight clothes with him. 15 minutes passed by and Toll Road drove Lincoln to Faubourg Marigny district; Sebastian also sent Lincoln his address too. After driving down to the district, they arrived at the four hundred-thousand-dollar house.

Toll Road and Lincoln got out of the car and went to knock on the door of the Koskela residence. Then, a man who stood 5 foot 11, had brown cut hair and was wearing a police officer uniform, opened the door and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you one of Sebastian's friend's?" He asked Lincoln in a slight accent as Lincoln nodded. "Sebastian, tule tänne!" Jake said in Finnish as Sebastian came down the stairs.

"Hey Lincoln, you're here. C'mon in." Sebastian said as he invited his friend in while Jake and Toll Road talked outside.

"C'mon, let's go wait upstairs for the others. They should be here soon." Sebastian said as Lincoln followed him up the stairs and into his room; the Finnish American had a 36' inch flat screen TV on top on an entertainment center, a bean bag chair, an L-shaped desk with a gaming laptop set up and even a Razer Microphone for it too.

He also had his Xbox One X set up to his flat screen and even had a Blu-ray player and even some Blu-ray DVD's too. His bed was a full set with colorful galaxy bedding and even a trundle bed underneath. "Nice room. Kinda the same as mine." Lincoln said as he sat down in the bean bag chair.

"Yep, I'm kinda spoiled in a way. Now, my older sister, Sharon, went to pick up the liquid laxatives at the store. So, she should be back soon." Sebastian said as he scratched the back of his neck.

As they waited, Lincoln noticed a book on the computer desk, that said 'Diary' on it. So, he decided to question the Finnish American about it. "Sebastian, do you really have a diary just laying out in the open?" Lincoln asked as Sebastian jumped up and put the diary in his desk compartment.

"You weren't supposed to see that." He said quickly as his cheeks turned a deep red. Lincoln got up and walked over to the older 15-year-old. "Is there something you're not telling me?" Lincoln asked in a stern tone as Sebastian blushed even darker red.

"It's just that...I…I'm not actually Heterosexual." Sebastian said as Lincoln's face softened. "Really, then what are you?" Lincoln asked as Sebastian then softly placed his lips on Lincoln's, surprising him a bit. Lincoln just melted into the kiss and pushed him onto the bed.

Growling playfully, Lincoln moved down onto Sebastian's neck and started nipping at it while giving it some licks.

Sebastian grunted as he felt his member get hard. "Let's take this in my closet. There's a bit more room in there where we can continue this." Sebastian said with a pleading look as Lincoln smiled. Sebastian then led him to the closet, opened the door and closed it as they were in it.

"Ready?" Lincoln asked as he unzipped Sebastian and saw his big 8-inch member pop out. It was waving in Lincoln's face and he could smell his musky scent too; so, he took him in his mouth and bobbed his head down onto it. Lincoln even wrapped his arms around the Finnish American's waist and sucked. Sebastian grunted and moaned softly as he placed two hands in Lincoln's hair and squeezed lightly. Lincoln gagged a bit before going faster; he wanted to taste Sebastian even more.

He slid his tongue down his length and to the base before coming back to the tip and taking him in his mouth again. Sebastian couldn't believe this was happening; he was being given oral by one of his close friends.

"You're good at this." Sebastian said as Lincoln spat him out and smiled.

"I've done it with my boyfriend once. Do you like it?" Lincoln asked as he took him in his mouth again.

"Yes, it feels so…FUCK!" Sebastian almost screamed as Lincoln lightly bit down to get his attention.

"It feels like heaven." Sebastian said quickly as he felt something coming. "I'm gonna burst." Sebastian said as Lincoln made a grunting noise that meant 'okay'.

Lincoln kept going as he then spat him out and began stroking him super quickly. "Here it comes." Sebastian said in a huff as he then released his essence into Lincoln's mouth, making him swallow it. Sebastian was sweating a bit as Lincoln helped put Sebastian's member away and led a trail of kisses up to his lips.

"Did you like that?" Lincoln said in a smoky voice as he smiled like a Cheshire cat.

Sebastian stood there with his legs feeling like jelly after that first oral experience. "Yes. I did. Thank you." Sebastian said as Lincoln pecked him on the lips.

"You're welcome. Now, what's your sexual orientation?" Lincoln asked as Sebastian just wanted to go another round with Lincoln.

"I'm Bisexual. I've been into guys for a good 5 years, but I could never ask out any guy I liked at school." Sebastian said as Lincoln was surprised, but happy for the Finnish American for coming out. "I actually know a guy you'll like. I'll talk to him and see if he wants to give it a shot." Lincoln said as he and Sebastian walked out of the hot closet and sat down. Lincoln was gonna call George Morris was and see if he could get to know Sebastian; since George had a thing for Damian and was Gay, he'd be perfect for Sebastian. "Hello?" George answered on the other side as Lincoln smiled.

"Hey George, it's Lincoln. How's it going?" Lincoln asked as he heard the 15-year-old sigh on the other side.

"It's okay, I guess. I'm still searching for love. I mean, I did have a crush on Damien, but when I told him my feelings for him, he told me I wasn't his type. So, it sucks ass right now." George said as Lincoln was ready to ask the final question.

"Well, I have a friend of mine who just came out to me. I was wondering that he might be your type. I'll give you his skype and the two of you can talk about it and see if you have something in common. Okay?" Lincoln said as George was silent for a moment before agreeing. Lincoln then hung up and texted over Sebastian's skype name.

"Sebastian, you'll get a message from my friend, George Morris. Okay?" Lincoln said as Sebastian was smiling.

"Thanks, Lincoln." Sebastian said as he hugged the younger 15-year-old.

Then, his bedroom door opened to Dakota, Malcolm, Dawson, and James.

"Sup nerds." Dakota said playfully as everyone laughed.

"Let's get down to business gentleman." Dakota said as everyone listened in on what the Cherokee had to see. Then, as Dakota was explaining everything, James looked at the marking on Lincoln's right arm and gasped.

"You got a tattoo?!" James hollered as everyone looked right at it. Lincoln sighed and nodded.

"Yes, I've had it for a couple months now. I'm happy I got one to be honest." Lincoln said as he showed everyone else what it was.

"It's a wolf? That's cool!" Dakota said as he was smiling wide. After explaining the plan, there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Sebastian hollered as the door opened to a 17-year-old blonde 11th grader who was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes with black earrings. "Hey Sebastian. Here's those laxatives you needed. I got you 5 bottles of it." It was Sebastian's older sister, Sharon, and she sounded relaxed. "Were you smoking weed again?" Sebastian asked with an angry glare. Sharon giggled and showed a little dime bag of weed.

"You realize if dad catches you, he'll toss your ass in jail." Sebastian said as Sharon then put her finger on her younger brother's lips.

"Don't tell them. I'll be in big trouble." Sharon giggled like a schoolgirl as she went to her room.

"That just happened." James said out of the blue as Sebastian placed the bottles of laxatives on the desk. "So, we just wait until tomorrow to get into the party and spike the punch with the laxatives?" James asked as everyone nodded. As the night went on, everyone either played games, talked about life in general or what they hated until they hit the sack.

The next morning, Lincoln woke up around 6 am and started doing his morning workout routine for a good 45 minutes until Dakota and the others started to wake up due to the noise.

"What're you doing up this early, dude?" Dakota asked as Lincoln stopped shadow boxing. "I always do my morning workouts when I wake up if I'm not at home with the weights." Lincoln said as he sat down. "Sorry if I woke you guys up." Lincoln said while wincing.

"It's fine. We were getting up anyway." Sebastian said with a yawn.

For the rest of the day until 6 pm, the boys all hung out until it was time to head over to the Lake Shore neighborhood. Dawson called Patricia and asked her to pick them up in her van, since there was 6 of them. As she picked them up, she wanted to show the other 12th graders that messing with the 9th graders was wrong, so she was gonna help Lincoln and the others by spiking the punch with the laxatives.

As they approached the big 2-million-dollar house, no other cars were there yet, so they had time to spike the punch. "Okay, Ronald Evans is throwing the party here while his parents are gone. So, let's go do this before he gets suspicious." Patricia said as everyone got out and went inside the house.

Everyone was tasked to set out the snack bowls and whatnot until James saw the liquor cabinet and had a devious idea; there was only 10 bottles of alcohol there, so he had 2 bottles of laxatives and he knew this was gonna be one shitty surprise for the 12th graders. He popped the cap off the laxatives and spiked every single liquor bottle full of alcohol. He swished the bottle around to mix the alcohol with the laxative and put them back where they were.

He then joined Patricia and the others to spike the water bottles and the main priority; the fruit punch mixed with a bit of vodka. They dumped what they had in the punch and the small water bottles too so they could get the hell out of there!

After everyone left the house, they got in the van and drove back to Sebastian's house. "You guys wanna know something?" James asked as everyone looked at him.

"I spiked their liquor too." The Italian American said with an evil grin as everyone looked at him like he was crazy.

"You crazy figlio di puttana." Lincoln said in Italian with a grin and hugged him. "Now they'll know not to mess with us." Dawson laughed as everyone joined in on laughing.

Everyone got back to Sebastian's house and hung out for Halloween while playing video games and what not.

It was April 30th on a Thursday of 2020, and the Expendables knew it was Lincoln's 16th birthday tomorrow. So, they knew it was time to let Lincoln have his car. Lincoln aced on getting his learners permit, so he was able to drive with one of the Expendables in the car with him. Barney and Lee even taught him how to use stick shift just in case. The Expendables were gathered at the shop talking about the presents they got him.

"Well guys, what did you guys get Lincoln? We already established he'll get his new car tomorrow. Around November he'll be able to shoot for his driver's license, so he'll be able to drive by himself." Barney said as the guys all wanted to go first.

"I got him some new henley's, button-up shirts, jeans, and even that new iPhone 12 Pro Max." Lee said as he held up the stuff that he got Lincoln.

"I got him yet, another Airsoft mystery package, new shoes, and a bathroom shampoo set." Toll Road said as everyone liked it. "I got him some condoms, a beanie and a new razor." Tool said with a wolfish grin, as everyone shook their heads.

"Well, I got him an Airsoft Glock 26, some new compression shirts and shorts." Hale Caesar said as he showed the picture to the guys. "Well, I got him some extra guitar strings for his guitars and some good summer shirts." Gunnar said as Yang was next.

"I got him some white Japanese karate Gi for when we practice, a box of Chinese currency and an MTech tactical knife to hang on display." Yang said as everyone was surprised at him.

"Well, I got him a good wolf tooth necklace and a manual to manhood book." Barney said as he showed everyone a picture.

"I say we're all set, guys. I'll keep Lincoln home from school tomorrow so he can open his presents and go see his car." Toll Road said as everyone went to wrap Lincoln's presents so they could give them to Toll Road.

The next morning, Lincoln was sleeping soundly with Abbey snuggled up next to him. Abbey was bigger and more trained now; she paws at the door if she wants to go out or needs to use the bathroom. It was around 6 am when Toll Road went to wake up Lincoln for a good breakfast. Toll Road came into the 16-year-old's room and saw him sleeping when Abbey perked her head up and tilt to the side a bit. "It's okay, Abbey." Toll said softly as he shook Lincoln. "Wake up, Lincoln." Toll said as Lincoln groaned a bit. "I'm tired." He said as Toll scoffed, grabbed a pillow and hit Lincoln with it. "C'mon! Why do you have to hit me?!" Lincoln said as he sat up.

"Happy Birthday to you." Toll said with a tone in his voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't go to sleep until 9 last night." Lincoln said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Well, go wash your face and come eat breakfast. I'm gonna keep you home today, so, you can open your presents." Toll said as Lincoln smiled.

After splashing some water on his face, Lincoln walked to the kitchen table to eat breakfast. Toll made steak, eggs and hash browns; it smelled awesome! Lincoln and Toll ate together and discussed what they wanted to do today.

Toll even planned on taking Lincoln to the gym to burn the calories and work out together around 10 am. Lincoln and Toll finished their breakfast and went to do their own things until it was time to head to the gym. Later, at the gym, Lincoln was doing Hanging Leg Raises, Rope Crunches, Standing Cable Lifts and Ab Rollers for a solid 45 minutes until he felt his abs burn like a motherfucker.

Since Toll planned on taking Lincoln to Caesar's place to show him the car, they had to leave the gym soon. So, Lincoln went to take a shower in the locker room and change clothes too.

After he was done, Toll took Lincoln to Caesar's place to meet the guys and give him the presents they bought him.

As they arrived at the black man's house, they all made Lincoln close his eyes as they walked him to the garage where Caesar stored the car. As they were ready, Caesar opened the garage. "Okay, open your eyes!" Toll said as Lincoln did so and went wide-eyed; there in the garage was his new car. It was a 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 in navy blue with a white strip down the middle. Lincoln was speechless at that moment, until Lee waved his hands in front of the 16-year-old's face.

"You alive mate?" Lee asked as Lincoln nodded. "Is it mine?" Lincoln asked in a silent voice as Caesar put a hand on his shoulder. "Yes, it's yours. I bought it when you were 12, kept it here and made sure it was taken care of. I washed it every 3 days, kept the maintenance up and even filled it with gas. I had to drive it around the block last week to make sure it was still good to go." Caesar explained as Lincoln dove in for a hug and wrapped his arms around the man's chest. Caesar comforted Lincoln for a solid minute before handing him the keys.

"Wanna drive it now?" Caesar asked with a cheeky grin as Lincoln took the keys and got in his new car, while waiting for the black Expendable.

"Now remember, this is covered by me until you turn 18. Now let's hit the road!" Caesar laughed as Lincoln turned the Shelby on and drove away slowly. All the other Expendables watched with smiles as Lincoln drove carefully away in his new car with Caesar. The black Expendable lived in the Garden District, so he told Lincoln to drive around for a bit before going back to the house.

"Now Lincoln, when you get your license, I want you to take care of this son of a bitch like it's your baby. Got it?" Caesar said as Lincoln nodded and kept driving until he came up to a stop light. Just then, a truck full of some 12th graders from school pulled up right next to Lincoln. "Hey, isn't that the white-haired fucker that flipped you over at school?" One of them said as the one brown haired 12th grader smiled and had an idea.

"Hey, snow white! Nice car! Is it yours?!" He asked as Lincoln wanted to get back at him, but Caesar gave him a look that said, 'don't do it'. As soon as the light turned green, Lincoln drove away, but the 12th graders weren't having it.

As Lincoln pulled into a McDonald's parking lot to see what they wanted, Caesar wasn't gonna have it either. "You wanna help me deal with these fuckers?" Lincoln said as he turned off the car. "I got your back." Caesar said in an angry tone as he and Lincoln got out of the car and saw the truck pull up next to them. "You know you got a lot of balls flipping me over your shoulder like you did back in September. So, whaddya say you hand over them keys to that sweet ride of yours and we'll be on our way." The brown haired 12th grader who went by Jonah said as he pulled out a switchblade.

"Yeah, we don't wanna have to hurt a freshman." One of the other 12th graders who went by Nick said as he crossed his arms.

"It's not happening." Caesar said as the 12th grades gave him a cocky look and stood right in front of Caesar while trying to act like he had balls.

"Oh really? Whatcha going do, old man?" The third 12th grader who went by Patrick said as Caesar's eye twitched; he didn't like being called old. "I'm only 39, child." Caesar said as he growled.

"All of you are 18 and I really don't give a shit if I go to jail for beating up a bunch of pussies who feed on getting attention just to look tough, when you're really making yourselves look ridiculous." Caesar said as a crowd started gathering around.

"Why don't you leave me alone. I'll just call the cops if you do take my car." Lincoln said as Jonah pointed the switchblade at Lincoln's neck. Lincoln then grabbed his arm and did a Shiho Nage move on Jonah which made him smack the side of his head into the pavement.

Caesar put Patrick in a headlock and knocked him out while Lincoln slammed his foot into Nick's ankle, shattering and dislocating it at the same time. The crowd roared with excitement as Lincoln and Caesar got back in the car and went back to Caesar's place. On the drive,

Lincoln drove as quickly as he could without saying anything to the black Expendable, they pulled into Caesar's driveway, Lincoln handed Caesar the keys and they explained what happened to the guys.

Lincoln opened the rest of his gifts and had cake that Caesar's wife made with the guys and ate a big lunch too. Lincoln was happy that he had a new car, but he had to learn to drive a bit more. So, Caesar would be able to take him to the airstrip and help him with some lessons.

Saturday, 6th of June, 2020

It was a warm early morning in New Orleans as Lincoln and Toll Road were on a 4-mile jog around the neighborhood a couple times before they returned to the house. As they returned, Lincoln went to take a shower to get rid of all the sweat. Before he got in the shower, he noticed his hair getting a bit heavy, so he asked Toll to trim it a bit.

After his small trim, he got in the shower and noticed he had bigger pecs on his chest and even flexed; he wasn't ripped like crazy, but he was muscular with even had great muscles on his arms, back, legs and calves. After he was done, Lincoln went to get dressed in a short-sleeved dark blue henley, black jeans and white converse. His phone started ringing and he was just about to lay down for a good hour.

"Hello?" He answered the phone with a groan.

"Hey kid, first; Happy late 16th Birthday and second; feel like going after another 50-million-dollar bounty?" Axel asked as Lincoln's eyes went wide. "Go on." Lincoln said as he sat up. "I'll explain when you get here. I'll have Ines pick you up." Axel said as he hung up.

Lincoln was now excited because he was able to go take out another target for a big bounty.

"So, I'll have 175,000,000 million dollars in my account if I do this task." Lincoln said as he smiled and went to let Toll Road know what's going on. After waiting a couple hours, it was around 3 pm and Lincoln was working on his shadow boxing, when Ines started calling him. He went into his room and answered his cell phone.

"Hey Ines. Where you at?" Lincoln asked as he began packing his bag with clothes. "Well, I just touched down. I'll be there to pick you up in a few minutes." Ines said as Lincoln smiled. "Okay. So, are you sticking with me on this job?" Lincoln asked as he zipped up his bag.

"I'm gonna going with you. I kinda wanted to have your company since you're so sweet." Ines said as Lincoln then hung up the phone and waited for her outside with his bag. After waiting for a good 10 minutes, Ines finally showed up, so Lincoln got in her car and smiled at her while she drove to the airstrip.

"So, I heard it was your birthday a month ago. You're 16, right?" Ines said as she slowed down at a yellow light. "Yep. I even got a new classic car for my birthday too." Lincoln said with pride, as Ines was surprised. "Really? That's sweet. Who got it for you?" Ines asked as Lincoln smiled wide.

"My caretaker, Hale Caesar." Lincoln replied as Ines giggled to the name.

"That's cool." She replied as she drove to the airstrip. After they reached the airstrip, they got on the small jet and they were off to Lyon, France. As they were flying in the sky, Ines noticed the ink on Lincoln's arm. "I didn't know you got a tattoo." Ines said, startling Lincoln.

"Uh, yeah. My caretaker, Tool, did it. Do you like it?" Lincoln asked as he showed more of the tattoo. "I think it looks…cute." Ines growled at the end, blushed, and even crossed her legs. Lincoln noticed and raised an eyebrow but understood; Ines was a lonely woman who needed a man in her life.

"Have you ever tried dating guys that you know?" Lincoln asked as Ines nodded. "I only dated two guys in only 1 year. We didn't reach getting into bed with each other. It just didn't work. But I can see you and I having a great time in bed." Ines said as Lincoln took her hand in his, rubbing it softly.

"I know, Ines. Trust me, when that day comes, I'll show you how much of a man I am. Okay?" Lincoln said as he kissed her forehead. Ines nodded and let Lincoln get some shut eye.

After being in the sky for hours, they arrived in Lyon, France around 3 am. Ines and Lincoln picked up a hot cup of coffee before going to Interpol to talk to Axel. After they arrived, the two went up to Axel's office and sat down.

"Now Lincoln, my friend that told me about Baran's bounty has another target that needs to be taken down. His name is Matias Lopez, and he is a contract killer. He's from Madrid, Spain and is wanted everywhere in the world. His bounty is worth 50 million dollars. I'm sending Ines with you for support and letting you take your Spain briefcase with you. Now, you need to be careful if you encounter him; he knows Silat, Judo and Eskrima. I've booked you two at the H10 Marina Hotel in Barcelona. I know that Lopez is being booked in at the Ibis Styles Barcelona City Bogatell, right across the street, and a day or two after you get to Spain. I know he likes to get a room at the top floor; that's where I put your room too." Axel said as Lincoln shook his hand and went down to the vault.

As they reached the vault, Lincoln had an idea. "I actually have something up my sleeve. Why don't I take the suppressed M2010 rifle with the regular Spain briefcase and we act as a couple or something on vacation?" Lincoln said as Axel thought it over for a moment.

"I guess that won't hurt. But I'll have an evacuation team just a block away in case of emergencies. I'll send a radio with you two if you need it." Axel said as he got the weapons briefcases ready. As the two got ready to go, they headed to the car and went to the train station to board the 8-hour train ride to Barcelona, Spain. After boarding the train, they knew it was best to get some sleep since it was gonna be 10 am by the time they get to Barcelona.

After arriving in Barcelona, Lincoln and Ines hailed a cab and were taken to the H10 Marina Hotel, so, they could get checked in. After they checked in, they went up to their luxurious room to go over the case files. They went over the files and Lincoln saw how popular Lopez was; he sold weapons, drugs and hookers to every warlord and sicko in the middle east and all of Africa. Lopez was a 6-foot 1 man who was in his 30's with blue eyes, a scar on his left cheek of an 'X', long black hair in a ponytail, gold grill teeth and he loved to wear black suits and charcoal aviators.

"Well fuck me, this guy is kinda like Lorenzo Mengardo in a way. Remember that job, Ines?" Lincoln said as he caught Ines staring at his ass. Ines saw Lincoln looking at her and she looked away.

Alright, fuck this, Lincoln thought as he picked up Ines in a bridal style and set her down on the bed gently. "What're you do-" Ines was cut off by Lincoln.

Lincoln placed his forehead against hers and had an angry look on his face. "Try to stay focused and when I turn 18 in 2 years, we will have the best sex of our lives. Okay?" Lincoln growled as Ines's cheeks turned pink.

Then, Lincoln smiled and kissed her cheek softly before they went back to work.

Monday, the 8th of June, 2020, came around and no sign of Lopez yet. They were told he'd be checking into one of the top room suites, so they kept an eye on the top floor suites to see when he would be checking in.

Around 5 pm, Lincoln was getting tired and still didn't see Lopez anywhere on the top floor suite of the neighboring hotel. "Are you sure he's coming, Ines? It's been almost 24 hours and we haven't seen anything. There's no sign of him whatsoever." Lincoln said as he sat upright on his sniper's perch and looked at Ines. "I don't know what to say. I guess we could just sit at the pool with our feet in it while drinking a whiskey." Ines said as she poured two small glasses of whiskey for Lincoln and herself. Lincoln went to the door and opened it for her.

"There you go, my lady." Lincoln said sweetly as Ines giggled to the kind courtesy that Lincoln was showing.

They put their feet in the water and enjoyed the warm weather that Spain had while drinking their whiskey. What they didn't know, was Lopez had known about their mission and was on his way down the hall from their room.

"I really like everything about you, Lincoln. You're that young lover I've always wanted." Ines said as she rubbed his hand.

"I feel the same about you, Ines. Except, you're like that older woman I've always wanted to be with." Lincoln said as he leaned in to kiss her, except he saw a glimpse of something in the room. Raising an eyebrow, he got up to check on it.

"Give me a minute. I saw something in the room." Lincoln said as he got up and went to examine the room. As he entered, he didn't see Lopez behind the wall and he did a hip throw on Lincoln, but the experienced 16-year-old made Lopez roll into a double roll.

Lincoln and Lopez got up before the 30-year-old man threw a Polick Haimu move at Lincoln, but the 16-year-old was fast and did an Au' from Capoeira and then stood in a Fudo Dachi stance. "So, you know martial arts?" Lopez asked as Lincoln nodded slightly before Ines noticed what was going on.

"Lincoln, are you okay?" Ines asked from outside as Lincoln looked back at her. "Stay out there! I'll handle this!" Lincoln hollered before Lopez moved in and did a Sinking Python attack on Lincoln. As soon as Lopez kneed Lincoln in the gut, Lincoln held onto the man's knee and brought him down into a Rolling Knee Bar.

Lincoln pulled with all his might and snapped the man's strong knee out of place. Lincoln then rolled out of the move and stood in a Hangetsu stance. Lopez miraculously got up and hopped on his good leg when he pulled a P99 from his waistband and prepared to shoot at Lincoln. The 16-year-old had to think fast before Lopez pulled the trigger.

POP

Lincoln did a side split just in time to see Lopez fiddling with his gun, since it jammed. Lincoln also checked himself to make sure he didn't get shot, but he turned to see Ines and was horrified. Blood was gushing out between Ines' hands on her stomach as she fell forward.

"INES!" Lincoln said as he then ran at Lopez and did a strong flying side kick to his face, knocking him down and making his head hit the floor super hard. Lincoln grabbed the P99, checked it and found the slide was acting up, so he proceeded to beat Lopez in the head with the pistol for a good solid minute until he stopped breathing.

Then, after some blood covered his face, hands, and neck; Lincoln went to check on Ines.

"Are you okay?" Lincoln asked as he pressed down on the bullet wound with his hands, making more dark blood leak through his fingers.

"G-Get…the…r-radio." Ines breathed in and out as she tried to keep her breath steady. Lincoln nodded and went to grab the emergency radio from Ines's suitcase.

"Axel, send the emergency evacuation, now! Ines has been shot in the stomach and she needs medical attention!" Lincoln said as he went back to Ines and made sure to put pressure on the wound. "10-4. The team is on the way. Keep pressure on the wound." Axel said as Lincoln kept tighter pressure on the bullet wound that was on Ines's stomach.

"Help's on the way, Ines. I promise." Lincoln said as he stroked her hair softly while he waited for the evacuation team to get to the room, so they could extract Ines and get her to the hospital.

After waiting 5 minutes, the extraction team finally made it to the room and put Ines on a stretcher. They also saw Lopez's lifeless corpse and got it out of there.

Agent Dupont oversaw the evac team, saw Lincoln sitting on the bed while looking at his bloody hands in horror. "Lincoln, let's get back to the office, so we can get you home." Dupont said as Lincoln nodded and went to get cleaned up before grabbing his briefcases. It was late around 7:30 pm by the time they got back to the Interpol office, so Lincoln went to the vault to put his briefcases away. As he was done, Axel came down to see how he was doing.

"You doing okay?" Axel asked as Lincoln sat down at the table inside the vault and shook his head. "No. I like Ines and now she's in the hospital. It was supposed to me that should've got shot, not her." Lincoln said as he gripped his hair in anger.

"Lincoln, it's not your fault. Okay?" Axel said as Lincoln sighed.

"Can I just go home, now?" Lincoln asked as Axel nodded and put his hand on his shoulder. Agent Dupont took Lincoln home on the jet and drove him home.

3 days later, on Thursday, the 11th of June, 2020, Lincoln was in his room reading around noon, when a notification went off on his phone. He checked it and saw that the 50 million dollars was transferred into his offshore bank account. He didn't care about the money this time, he cared about Ines. He set his phone down and kept reading until he went to work on his biceps and triceps for a good solid hour until he went to eat lunch with Toll Road. Lincoln told the guys what had happened to Ines and how Lincoln stood by her side as he helped her onto the stretcher and to the hospital in Spain before being transferred to the nearest hospital in Lyon, France, close to the Interpol office.

Thursday, the 2nd of July, 2020 rolled around, and Lincoln was eating breakfast when he got a call. He went to answer it and knew who it was.

"Hello?" Lincoln said as he was eating his breakfast. "Hey Lincoln, we got good news. The bullet missed every important organ in Ines, and she'll be getting out of the hospital in the next day or two." Axel said as Lincoln smiled on his end.

"That's good. Tell her I said that I miss her." Lincoln said as he then hung up. The 16-year-old was happy that Ines was alright, so he decided to go out and hang with the guys. He finished his breakfast and went to call them on Skype to plan a day to hang out. Lincoln opened skype and called them through the group they were in and wait. After waiting a few minutes, everyone picked up. "Hey guys." Lincoln said as everyone was happy to see their white-haired-friend.

"What's up, Lincoln?" Dakota said as Lincoln smiled.

"Well, I was wondering if anyone wanted to go play Airsoft tomorrow." Lincoln said as everyone thought for a moment before smiling.

"Sure, I can go." James said with a happy smile.

"Same with me." Dakota replied a smile of his own.

"I'm in." Malcolm said as he had a cheeky grin.

"I'm up for some good old-fashioned Airsoft." Sebastian replied with a smug smile.

"I guess tomorrow is a good day for Airsoft. What the hell." Dawson said with a shrug.

"Great. We'll meet at Eagle Airsoft tomorrow around opening time. We'll do TD match and the others too." Lincoln said as he smiled and talked to the guys for a bit before going to work out with Toll Road later on. The next day, the theme for Eagle Airsoft was remembering Battle of Gettysburg, so everyone dressed like they did back in 1863, used Airsoft flintlocks and muskets too.

Eagle Airsoft had a dirt property and used it for outside battles; so, they used that for the theme. Everyone had a splendid time until the forecast started to change, and rain started to fall. Lincoln and the guys all had a fun time in the Airsoft battle before the weather got bad, so they went home. For the next 5 days it rained hard, and it didn't let up until Tuesday, the 7th of July, 2020, and it left the ground wet.

Lincoln was also going back to High School soon, around the 10th of Monday, August of 2020. So, he had to go get school supplies early with Toll Road. The demolitions expert let Lincoln drive his car back to the house and keep it there until Lincoln got his license and was able to drive by himself. On Friday, the 24th of July, 2020, Lincoln was doing pull-ups when Becky walked into the workout room.

"Hey Becky, what's up?" Lincoln asked as he jumped down. Becky then saw the ink on Lincoln's arm and gasped lightly.

"When did you get the ink?" The 22-year-old asked as Lincoln sat down on the bench to drink his water.

"I got it last year. I'm surprised you didn't notice on the first day of my freshman year." Lincoln said as Becky chuckled a bit. "Yeah. I was a bit tired that day. I'm still gonna be working at your school for good. I might even become an actual teacher." Becky said as Lincoln threw his empty water bottle in the tiny trash can.

"So, what're you doing here, Becky?" Lincoln asked as Becky sat down. "Well, I was wondering if you wanted to bring you, your boyfriend and friends to a party that I'm going to. That is if you got the guts." Becky said with a devious grin. Lincoln stood up and gave her the 'finger', which made her laugh out loud.

"I'll give Arthur and the others a call and see if they wanna go. Okay?" Lincoln said as Becky smiled.

"Will there be alcohol there? I can use some whiskey." Lincoln said as he put his hands on Becky's shoulder. "Yes. There's gonna be a shit ton. Plus, I don't go back to work until the first day of school." Becky said as she pecked Lincoln on the cheek.

"Okay. When do we head to the party?" Lincoln asked as Becky got her phone out.

"We can leave in 1 hour. So, make sure your friends get over here soon." Becky said as she went to use the bathroom. Lincoln was waiting for his friends in his room while Becky laid on the bed and texted a couple of her friends. "Becky, can I ask you something?" Lincoln asked as he sat in his computer chair.

"Sure, what's up?" Becky replied with her own question as Lincoln crossed his legs.

"Have you been dating yet?" Lincoln asked with true honesty in his voice. Becky's eyes widened to his question; she never expected him to ask such a question at all. "What do you mean?" She asked with innocence as Lincoln sat on the bed with her. "I mean with every time I've seen you, you're always alone. So, I just had to ask." Lincoln said as Becky smiled softly.

"Yeah. I've been lonely for a while. But it's okay. I like hanging out with friends better." Becky replied as Lincoln returned a smile back at her.

After waiting another 20 minutes, the doorbell rang, and Lincoln went to answer it. As he opened the door, Arthur and the rest were there smiling. "You guys ready to go to a kickass party?" Lincoln asked as he invited everyone in.

"Hell yeah. I'm excited." Dakota said as everyone else agreed. "Well, to be honest, this is my first high school party." James said as Sebastian agreed as well.

"This isn't exactly a high school party. It's a regular party that Becky is gonna take us to." Lincoln said as everyone went wide eyed, except Becky and him. "Trust me. There's also alcohol for us to have a good time." Lincoln reassured everyone as nodded and went out front to get in the truck. Becky was also gonna party with them just in case they didn't get into trouble. They arrived at her friend's house in the Garden District and went inside.

"Man, I'm excited to have fun!" Sebastian said as he held James by the shoulder in a friendly way. As they entered the party, they saw a lot of 18 to 23-year-olds jamming out to some ACDC and some other artists on the DJ while drinking shots and beer. Dakota and the others split up and went to do their own thing.

While Lincoln had a glass of strong Jim Beam bourbon, a 16-year-old girl who was Japanese American walked up to Lincoln and smiled. "Hi." She said as she got Lincoln's attention. "Hi." Lincoln replied as he took a sip of the strong alcohol and smiled.

"I'm new to New Orleans and was wondering if we could talk outside." She said as Lincoln smiled and nodded. They went out front and talked for a good 10 minutes. "I didn't get your name by the way." Lincoln asked as the girl stuck out her hand.

"The name's Bashira Drake. As you can see, I'm Japanese American. I just moved here from New York about 2 months ago and I decided to come here with my sister who heard about it from a friend." Bashira said to Lincoln who smiled.

Bashira Drake was a kind, but smart 16-year-old who was the same height as Lincoln, maybe a week younger; she had a tomboyish pixie cut that was black, blue eyes, nice lips, and a slender body. She wore a black t-shirt that had a funny logo on it, blue skinny jeans and a set of red converse. "I was also wondering if you could tell me the dangers of New Orleans and what to expect." Bashira said as Lincoln nodded and told her what there was. It took a good 20 minutes to explain everything of Crescent City and how to avoid the bad things here. Just as they were talking, Bashira wanted to know everything about Lincoln.

"I didn't get your name either." Bashira said as Lincoln smiled at her. "My name's Lincoln Loud." Lincoln said as the two talked about the things they liked and didn't like.

"You seem like a cute guy, Lincoln. What's your number?" Bashira said as she whipped out her iPhone X. Lincoln was surprised and told her his phone number. What Lincoln didn't know was Arthur was watching the whole thing and was heard everything.

"Lincoln?" Arthur said with a shattered tone.

Lincoln looked over his shoulder and went wide eyed. "Arthur!" Lincoln said as he scrambled to get up, knocking over his bourbon onto Bashira's jeans.

"Shit! I'm sorry." Lincoln said as he tried to deal with both things at once, but Arthur had ran through them and disappeared into the night.

"FUCK SAKES!" Lincoln yelled out loud as Bashira watched the whole thing. "Are you okay?" She asked as Lincoln sat down and shook his head. "I didn't know my boyfriend was watching the whole time. I'm sorry, Bashira for spilling bourbon on your jeans." Lincoln said as he took out his wallet and gave her 200 dollars.

"This should pay for the jeans." Lincoln said as Bashira smiled and hugged him.

"So, if you don't mind me asking…are you gay?" Bashira asked as Lincoln looked at her with tears in his eyes. He wiped his eyes and shook his head. "No. I'm Bisexual. But that's not the point…you're really nice, Bashira. I need to fix this." Lincoln said as he went to find Becky.

As soon as he did, he asked her to drive him to Arthur's house, so he could explain that it was a misunderstanding. As everyone was in the truck, Lincoln tried numerous times to call Arthur, but it immediately went straight to voicemail.

"Fuck. He's not answering." Lincoln said to Becky as he checked the time; it was almost 8 pm.

They reached Arthur's apartment and Lincoln went to the door and knocked on it. He waited for a few moments before Mr. Taggart answered it and raised an eyebrow. "Whaddya want?" He said as Lincoln told him what happened. The man let Lincoln in as soon as he told him; but he didn't expect what happened next.

Arthur was crying into his pillow as Lincoln walked into the room. "Babe, please just listen to me." Lincoln said as he shook Arthur a bit. "No. I saw you talking to that girl. You were cheating on me." Arthur said as he wiped his eyes.

"Arthur, I was just talking to her. I promise." Lincoln said as Arthur sat up and looked Lincoln straight in the eyes. "I think we were wrong for each other. I'm sorry Lincoln, but…were through." Arthur said as he opened the door for him. "It's time for you to go." He said with a silent tone. Lincoln nodded with a few tears in his eyes and walked out to the truck.

As he got in, he wiped his eyes and laid his head on the window. "What happened, Lincoln?" Becky said as Lincoln let more tears run down his cheeks. "We broke up." Lincoln said loud enough for everyone to hear, while wiping his tears away.

"Just take me home, please Becky." Lincoln said to the 22-year-old redhead as she nodded slowly and drove towards Toll Road's house. After arriving at the house, Lincoln got out and said goodbye before walking inside the house. What Lincoln didn't know was it was 8 pm by the time he got back; so, he went to get some dinner that Toll Road left in the microwave. As Lincoln ate his Chicken Parmesan, Toll Road came out with Melanie in their pajamas and looked at Lincoln with concern; they saw the tear marks on his face and knew something was wrong.

"Lincoln, what's wrong, honey?" Melanie asked as Lincoln told them what happened at the party, but he left out the booze part, since he didn't wanna get his ass busted.

Melanie and Toll Road were shocked, but the woman consoled Lincoln by bringing him into a hug and kissing him tenderly on the cheek. Toll Road laid a hand on his shoulder and gave the 16-year-old a comforting look. After he ate his dinner, Lincoln took a shower and went straight to bed. 16 days later and Lincoln knew it was time for school again; it was the 9th of August, 2020, and Lincoln was getting his school supplies together for the 2nd year of high school.

He was still heartbroken over Arthur, but he knew had to move on. He also knew there were plenty of fish out in the sea. It was noon by the time Lincoln finished getting his backpack ready, so, he went for a 3-mile run around the neighborhood. He was in his jogging pants, white tank top and running shoes as he was running throughout the neighborhood. While running through the streets, he heard a familiar accent behind him.

"Hey Lincoln!" It sounded familiar…so it was Andreas. The Greek American was in his jogging attire and ran right beside Lincoln and kept up the pace.

"Hey Andreas. You excited for Sophomore year?" Lincoln asked as they kept running towards the park.

"Yeah. I mean we only live once." Andreas laughed as they decided to turn into the big park.

"How's the relationship with Arthur going?" Andreas asked as Lincoln's eyes went wide and he started slowing down. Andreas noticed and slowed down with the white-haired 16-year-old. "What's wrong?" Andreas asked as they both stopped together. "Lincoln, what's wrong dude?" Andreas asked again as Lincoln looked up at him with small tears in his eyes.

"I was talking to this girl at a party on the 24th last month, and Arthur saw and thought I was cheating on him." Lincoln explained as he wiped his tears away, sniffling a bit. Andreas was shocked but pulled his white-haired friend in for a comforting hug. Lincoln squeezed Andreas a bit; it didn't hurt, but it showed the Greek American that Lincoln was super sad.

"I'm sorry for what happened, Lincoln, I really am. But did you explain that you were talking to that girl?" Andreas asked as he felt Lincoln nod against his neck. "I did, but he said that we were wrong for each other." Lincoln explained as breathed his hot breath against Andreas's neck. The Greek American could only breathe in through his teeth for that moment before nuzzling his face into Lincoln's neck.

"Well, you'll find another guy to date. I mean, you're cute enough to find the right one." Andreas said as Lincoln's eyes popped wide open and he pulled back a bit to face the Greek American. "Y-You think I'm cute?" Lincoln asked as Andreas smiled wide and nodded. "I think you're the cutest guy I've seen. As soon as I saw you at the boxing gym, my heart started to beat faster." Andreas said as he held a hand up to Lincoln's cheek with tender care. Lincoln didn't know what to say at that moment; his cheeks lit up pink and he even felt himself getting super hard. "Andreas…I-I don't know what to say." Lincoln said as he tried to get a hold of himself while having a cheeky grin.

"How about this; why don't we go out to dinner. Just you and I at this Italian restaurant that my friend's grandpa owns. We'll go next Friday for dinner, and you can spend the night at my house. How does that sound?" Andreas explained as Lincoln was speechless right then and there. He was being asked out by his cute Greek American friend he had met while at the Boxing Gym.

"Andreas…I'd love to go out to dinner with you." Lincoln smiled wide as he wrapped his arms around the Greek American's chest and hugged him. They were both happy and continued their run until they had to go back home. They kept texting until it was time for bed; even in bed, Lincoln was smiling like a madman. As the sun rose on the early Monday morning of August 10th, 2020, Lincoln woke up around 6 am and went into the bathroom for a warm shower.

Lincoln couldn't stop thinking about how the dinner date would go with Andreas on Friday, he was just too excited. After his shower, he got dressed in a dark blue henley, black jeans and red converse before going to eat breakfast with Toll Road. The man cooked steak, eggs and hash browns for himself and Lincoln. Toll Road knew this was Lincoln's 2nd year of high school; so, he had to make sure his grades were all straight A's, which they were always.

Lincoln didn't feel like telling Toll Road about his dinner date with Andreas; he would only question him. Around 7:50 am, Toll Road sat in the passenger seat of Lincoln's car and watched him drive. So far, Lincoln was driving like a professional and obeyed the rules of the road. As they arrived at the school, Lincoln and Toll Road walked inside of the school to Mr. Landry's office to get Lincoln's schedule.

"Good morning Joshua and Lincoln. Are you excited for your 2nd year of high school, Mr. Loud?" Mr. Landry asked with a hot cup of joe in one hand while a croissant in the other. "I guess." Lincoln said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I also saw you have a new car. Are you shooting for your license soon?" Mr. Landry asked with a happy tone as Lincoln nodded.

"He's gonna go to the DMV in November to get it. So, if he does, the others and I are gonna have a party for him." Toll said with a smile as he nudged Lincoln playfully. "Anyway, I'll show Lincoln to his homeroom. Have a good one, Mr. Kendrick." Mr. Landry said as Toll nodded and walked out with Lincoln's keys.

"Alright Lincoln, here is your list of the classes." Mr. Landry said as Lincoln took the piece of paper and went over it. "I have Music Production, Swimming, British literature, Korean, Calculus, Psychology, Lunch, Physical Science and Criminal Justice. I think I like this schedule better than last year." Lincoln said as he and Mr. Landry smiled. "Well, let's get you to your homeroom." Mr. Landry said as he walked Lincoln to the classroom. As they walked, Mr. Landry noticed Lincoln's tattoo and raised an eyebrow.

"What type of tattoo is that?" The man asked as Lincoln showed him.

"Normally we don't tolerate tattoo's, but as long as they're not gang related, they're okay to have." Mr. Landry said as he kept walking with Lincoln.

They arrived at Mr. Hayes' classroom and Lincoln took a seat while waiting for his friends to show up. He waited for a bit before he heard his friends' voices from the hallway. As soon as they entered the classroom, they all smiled.

"What's up bitches?" Lincoln smiled as everyone laughed hard and high fived each other. Then, Andreas walked in and Lincoln's cheek's flared pink, but he kept it cool.

"Hey Andreas." Lincoln said as the two hugged. "Did you tell your friends yet?" Andreas asked as Lincoln shook his head. "I think I wanna keep it a secret. Just in case." Lincoln said as they both took a seat and talked until class started.

Lincoln was glad that his 2nd year of high school was starting off good, so he decided to embrace it and study hard for classes and approach them with caution. Let's see what sophomore year has in store for me, Lincoln thought as Mr. Hayes started Accounting class.

A/N: Done! Whatcha think?

Now, let me know what you think of the things that were changed.

I gotta go, but I shall see you in the next one…ADIOS AMIGOS!
