Chapter 15: Death Row
After hearing from Luke Paul a few hours ago, Lincoln decides to go at the Malibu Club to inquire the information that was crucial for him to know, as he was walking inside, Luke Paul approaches him.
"Alright mush, I'm gonna save your Vera, mate."
Lincoln, wierded out by what he said, asks "What the hell are you talking about?"
Luke re-explained ,"You know that Diaz, the Bugle Master? He's got your boy, Lexx. Word is your mate tried to jump him…didn't jump high enough if you know what I mean." nudging him a bit on the stomach. Realizing this, Lexx didn't obviously listen to Lincoln and went ahead and planned to take out Ronaldo without him. He was already pissed at Lexx, then grabs Luke by his collar and pins him at the railing of the upper platform and asks.
"Where did he take him? In plain English?"
Luke, already frightened of Lincoln's temper and what it might build up to, he straightforwardly answered "Keep your barnet on! They got him across town at the junkyard." After hearing where he's located, Lincoln lets go of Luke and rushes back to his car to get Lexx back, while Luke, catches his breath and ranted at him again "Bloody hell…you nutter!"
Lincoln leaves the club and drives across town to the junkyard where he finds it heavily guarded by Diaz's goons. Lincoln fights his way to a storage hangar at the rear of the junkyard where he finds a heavily injured, but still lingering Lexx. He was tied to a chair, pretty beat up, Lincoln then unties Lexx to set him free, Lincoln then looks at Lexx and angrily said to him.
"There goes my careful planning blown to shit, thanks to you. You screwed up real good, Lexx!"
Lexx then ranted back "He killed my brother. What do you expect me to do, mow his lawns?"
Lincoln immediately told him "We're gonna have to take out that prick Diaz before he takes us out. You ok to use a gun?"
Lexx then replied "Sure…I guess…nice to see you, too."
"Let's get out of here."
Lincoln then escapes with Lexx. When the duo leave the junkyard they are chased by more of Diaz's men. Lincoln manages to evade them and takes Lexx to the Schuman Health Care Center in Downtown.
"Get patched up and meet me on the bridge to Star Island, ok?"
"Ok, I got you."
After taking Lexx to the hospital, he receives a phone call from Colonel Arturo Cortez.
"Lincoln, it's Cortez. Look, the French are giving me all kinds of trouble, amigo. Damn hypocrites. They spend a hundred years stealing from poor countries and they call me a thief! I am going to need your help as soon as possible, amigo. So please hurry, Lincoln, all right? I hate the damn French."
After hearing this, Lincoln obviously knew what Arturo meant by that call, it seems like the French Government had already caught wind of the stolen missile guidance chips that he acquired for the Colonel a while back. He decides to help him, possibly one last time, so as to not lose a valuable ally, and give also time for Lexx to fully recover and for them to prepare to finally take out Ronaldo Diaz, once and for all.
