We're back and this time we're gonna go back and look to some of the former louds and also see what Luna and her band have to say to the woman who wants them in her upcoming Summer Musical Tour. Enjoy folks.
We already know what Leni and Lori have been up to, time to see the rest.
Family of Two.
Chapter 106: Louder than far.
(Burnt Bean.)
The whole nice and well-known café is run by the mother of Sam Sharp, Amy Sharp and this is also a place where the band sometimes performed, well use to perform. The Luna-Tics are reunited, but haven't made any gigs yet.
Someone walks into the place, and that someone is big time music manager, Katie Crest and she looks around for the one she seeks and she sees her and her band. "Luna, good choice in calling me and bringing me here. This place really does seem peaceful and worth the gig."
"Well, my mom owns it and sure as heck we're allowed to make our comeback concert here soon" replied Sam.
"Take a seat Ms. Crest, we have a lot to talk about" said Luna. They all take their seats and so does Lincoln and all of them ordered some coffee and chocolate milk.
"Alright, so I guess you have made the choice and are now planning to become part of the musical tour next year on the summer right?" said Katie.
"Yeah, true and we did agree that if I join, I want my band to be part of it" said Luna.
Katie sighs. "Yes, yes. I know. We agreed to it and I assume this man is also going to be part of it."
"Right as rain ma'am. The names Chunk, and I'm they're roadie and the band is nothing without the roadie helping haul what they need on the road" replied Chunk.
Katie then looks to Luna. "So, anything else we should discuss before we make this whole thing official?"
"Yeah, a lot." Luna looks to her son and they both nod. "We have so much to talk about. Some aren't something you might like, and I assure you that all the rules we're about to lay down are all necessary for me, the band, my roadie and my son."
Katie is confused. "You're son? What does this have to do with him?"
"Quite a lot actually." Michelle Lewis steps in and sits between Luna and Katie and she's dressed in a black suit, shades and black shoes, so she looks like a lawyer. "Crest."
Katie looks to her unamused. "Lewis. Looks like someone took up the law and order get up. What are you here for?"
Michelle brings out a briefcase with a recorder, some papers and pens. "To manage the deal and to make sure it's all been written down and recorded, so that the when the time comes for them to go on this summer musical tour, this will remind you of what you agreed on and there will be no turning back and I also have the contracts to it as well."
"Now, this contract will also be binded to Mick Swagger as well and a shame he couldn't be here to join us, where is he?" asked Mazzy.
"He's busy at the moment, but I will speak for him and tell him about these arrangements for the tour" replied Katie. "Now, tell me about these rules and regulations you have all agreed on?"
They then tell her what they all talked when they reunited two days ago. Katie knows that each one is complicated and could be hard to make promise, but all necessary if she wants to have Royal Woods finest be part of the tour.
(State Michigan Correctional Facility, Lansing City. Lansing.)
Lynn Sr. walks out of the parent class and he sees his cellmate waiting for him outside, Gerald Langston. "Hey man, how did it go? Learn something new?"
Lynn Sr was too nervous to say anything, but someone else does. "Yes, yes he did and he broke down crying." Rita is behind Lynn Sr and is less than pleased. "Rita Loud, pleased to meet you sir."
"A pleasure ma'am, Gerald Langston and I see you're doing fine after what nearly happened to you, so sorry that happened."
"No need to worry, what happened was the past and I know it won't happen again, but I must ask you Mr. Langston. What happened to those men who tried to rape me?" asked Rita.
"Well, they got another month in the hole and won't be out until the New Year" replied Gerald. "What they did was a heinous act and it seems to have made them feared once more, lots of the inmates are feeling respect for Jeremy J.K Trump and Emanuel C. Chavez Del Santos."
Rita sighs. "I wish they got more punished then being put in the hole. I hope this doesn't happen again, I'm already being treated like garbage in the women's area of this place and all of them are mocking me as weak and pathetic. Well I'd like to see them in my shoes when that happened."
"Just hang in there, things will work out in time and ignore those other women. They don't understand, or they're as afraid as you are and are too dumb to even admit it" replied Gerald.
Rita nods and she walks off. "Nice to see you Mr. Langston and keep an eye on this man, he won't last long in jail on his own." She then walks off to the women's side of the place.
Lynn Sr looks down in sadness. "She still hates me, I can't blame her."
Gerald places a hand on his friends shoulder. "Hey man, don't let it get to ya. I know things are bad now, but in time it will all be better, I just know it and you're not weak. You're just different and I know you can make it, even without me."
Lynn Sr walks away. "Thanks for the reassurance Gerald, but she's right. Th reason why we were saved was because of you and the guards, I couldn't do anything as they were gonna do something to Rita. I was weak and small and I didn't have the guts to even fight back or do what a good husband would do."
"Luna makes me look weak, and she's fighting con artists and keeping her son safe, unlike me who made him miserable and almost killed him." Lynn Sr then walks back to the men's area of the place.
Gerald sighs seeing this. "I gotta do something, December is right around the corner and those two still don't see each other and as they used to." He then follows his cellmate back to the male's area of the place, he needs to come up with a plan to get Lynn Sr and Rita back together again.
(Traverse City Juvenile Hall.)
The place seems peaceful, well it's peaceful now because they had to stop a fight between two girls who were angry at each other and made fun of each other's family, and no it was not Lynn or Annabelle C. McCann.
Those two tried to help stop the fight and ask them what was wrong, but it didn't seem to work and they too got hurt in the free-for-all brawl. Thankfully, the warden came and put an end to the fight and now this has happened.
Lynn and her cellmate are back in their cells and both of them are a mess. "Well, that hurt a lot. I've been in tons of scraps with my siblings once, but boy did that hurt" chuckled Lynn then she groans in pain from the left leg.
Annie chuckles. "You think that's terrible. Watch this." She looks to the other cells. "Role call to worst fight ever in their life!"
"I got bit by my cousin's eight dogs and each one gave me a bite."
"Horse kicked me in the rear and I landed onto the side of a car."
"Kicked out of the biker club after starting a fight then went back in and got beat up some more."
"Salmon bit me!" Everyone chuckles and shares the painful things they've been through. Soon they all go back to what they were doing and Lynn and Annie just sit back to Lynn's lower bunk.
Lynn then tosses the baseball into the air and she catches it again. "So, any plans for tomorrow or are we gonna be doing the same thing again?"
She then sees Annie making a letter to her parents and then she puts it into an envelope. "Sorry Lynn, but I got some plans of my own and one of them is kinda complicated."
"Why what's wrong with tomorrow for you?" asked Lynn.
"My grandpa's birthday and he's not around anymore." Annie pulls her knees close to her and she looks away in sadness.
Lynn goes to her and she places a hand on her shoulder. "So sorry, I don't wanna ask you anymore about this. It sounds way too personal and I don't wanna meddle in it."
Annie chuckles. "Thanks Lynn, you're so understanding and I should give you a heads up. My birthday is on Sunday, so chances my parents will come to see me and how I'm doing. I hope they're in a good mood."
Lynn chuckles. "Well, I'll see what I can conjure up in this shit hole as a birthday gift, and I'm sure your parents will be happy to see you soon. Chin up and look forward to what would happen, and everything will be better soon."
"Thanks, also how are the notes you've been sending to Luna and Lincoln?" asked Annie.
Lynn sighs. "I don't know anymore, they haven't sent me a single letter back after I sent my third one. I know they might be stressed and all, but it would be nice to see what they have to say and see when they might visit."
Annie knew it was her turn to make Lynn feel better. "Well, chin up Lynn and look on the bright side, chances they will come and see you and see how you've been handling. Don't give up hope, I know things will be better for ya."
Lynn smirks. "Using my own words on me. Nice move there Annabelle." They both high five and share some laughs. Then they hear one of the inmates call out.
"Ya'll wanna know what hurt me back then?"
They all respond. "No we don't, Bumpkin!" Wait, Bumpkin? Like a relative of Liam Bumpkin?!
(Dawning residence, Huron.)
Lola and Lana are both waiting in their room and going through the list of things. "Alright, so whoever wants to adopt us is either a good person or a weird person, we have to be careful should we see this person right?" said Lola.
"Yeah, I don't know what would happen if we meet this person, I mean, Darrel and Emily seemed kinda sad about hearing that we're not gonna be here for too long" said Lana.
Lola sighs. "As much fun as they are to have around, I don't know what else we can do. I wanna stay too, but I also wanna see this lady and what she has to offer to even be our mom."
Lana puts her list down. "Do you ever wonder what the others are doing? You know, Lincoln and Luna."
Lola recalls they all saw the news about Royal Woods and the issues it went through with those con artists and the attack from Flip and pretty much tons of trouble that stirred up in the town, and Lori being seen as a person who can be redeemed and same with Leni. Everything that Lincoln and Luna are doing sounds like something they wanna be a part of.
Lola then sits next to her twin. "Lans, we can't just ask and see how the others are doing. We're gonna have to wait and see where else the moment takes us with the lady who wants us adopted. So, hang in there and try not to think about the past too much."
Lana wipes away some of her tears. "Yeah, yeah you're right. We can only hope to look forward to the future, right?"
Just then they hear a knock on the door. "Girls, its Emily. Are you two ready?"
They both get off the bed. "We are." They both go to the door and they open it and they head downstairs, Lola can still see how upset Lana is and so she holds her hand.
Lana smiles when this happens. Then Lola asks. "You ready to go and see the unknown future?"
Lana smiles. "As long as I got my twin by my side. Heck yeah."
The two of them then go to the living room and they see Darrel and Emily smiling at them. "The lady is over there, come with us girls" said Darrel. They both go to the living room and are shocked to see who it is.
"Hello Lola and Lana, I think you know who I am and it's so good to see you both again."
Lola and Lana are speechless and Lola faints. "Did not see that coming" said Emily.
(Crotus Penn Mental Hospital, Marquette.)
Doctor Reginald Himmler, the man who is in charge of keeping Luan in line and checking on her condition is going through his paper work and sighs. "This is not gonna be an easy task anymore." He then walks out of his office and he sees everyone is escorting all the patients out of their rooms and he sees the alarms are blaring.
"Someone! What is happening?"
One of the staff goes to them. "Sir, there is a fire in the building, the staff are trying to figure out where it is, but they don't know where it could be and the fire department is headed here as we speak."
Dr. Himmler looks around and sees the chaos unfolding, but then he sees something was up and so he goes to the one room of his top patient, Luan. He opens the door and he sees she's gone and then he grabs one of the nurses. "Where is Luan?"
"I don't know sir, perhaps she was brought out by one of the staff."
Dr. Himmler then thinks about this. "Or she has other plans." He then walks around the place and he goes to the one place that could help him, and he kicks the door to the surveillance room.
The guard sees the man. "Dr. Himmler? What are you doing here?" The Dr. Himmler goes to the cameras and he replays what happened earlier. "Sir, what are you doing?"
He goes wide eyed at what he sees. "Shit!" He then runs off and the guard looks to the camera and he goes wide eyed and he takes the microphone. "Everyone! This has been a lie, everyone back in the building now! False alarm!"
On the roof; Dr. Himmler makes it and he sees his top patient. "Luan! Drop it now!" Luan is holding a hose and it leads to a tank of hot water, not ordinary hot water, scolding hot water.
"Oh hey Doc, here to see the view of the place?" asked Luan. She then laughs and looks to the staff and patients gathered outside the place and awaiting any word on the fire.
"Luan stop! Don't do this!" said Dr. Himmler.
"Sorry doc, but this is my life now and I am damn happy to be part of it! Ain't nothing you can say will stop me now!" She then gets ready to hose down everyone.
Dr. Himmler then says something that could make him regret. "What about Lincoln and Luna?"
Luan stops and her tone changes. "What?"
"What would they say when they see you like this? How would they feel when they see the girl they once knew and loved as a sister has become this monster?" asked Dr. Himmler as he slowly goes to her.
But then Luan turns around and she points the hose at him and has tears in her eyes. "Do not say their name! They wouldn't care about me, no one would! They won't even have the guts to come and see how I'm doing! They're too busy, enjoying the good life they have now, while I'm trapped here with me, myself and I!"
"But they are coming." He then tosses her the letter and she catches it, she then opens it and sees what it says and has tears in her eyes.
"L-Lincoln? Luna? They're c-coming here? Tomorrow?!"
Then the guards come in and tackle her to the ground. She doesn't struggle, but instead she cries and then laughs and then cries and then laughs as she speaks two names. "Lincoln. Luna. Lincoln. Luna. Lincoln and Luna. Lincoln and Luna!"
The guards then take the girl away and Doctor Himmler picks up the letter and he places it into his coat and he sighs. "What the hell have I done? I must be sure that Lincoln and Luna will not be harmed when they get here." He then goes back inside, and he prepares for the arrival of the Family of Two.
But they might not be the only ones who wanna see Luan.
(Burnt Bean, Royal Woods.)
Luna along with her band and son walk out of the café with Katie Crest. "So, are we cool with the rules for the summer musical tour?" asked Luna.
Katie Crest sighs. "Yes, we made it clear with the contract signing and I will do what I can to make sure that these rules and conditions you've given to me are made possible. I will also speak about this to Mick Swagger and I hope he can also agree to these terms as well."
"I'm sure he will dude, knowing Mick. He's a man of good will and honor" replied Sully.
"We'll speak again soon, wait for my call or text or when we might have a meeting." Katie Crest goes into her car and they drive off. They all watch as she drives off.
"Well, all we can do now is wait and see where this goes" replied Sam. They all take their leave from the place. Sam drives off to her home, Sully and Mazzy hitch a ride with Chunk and Luna rides off with her son and they head home.
"So mom, when do you plan to show everyone you have a comeback for the band again?" asked Lincoln.
"On the first Friday of the month of December and we got the songs we need, but I need to finish one more and I was hoping you'd join on one of our future gigs too" replied Luna.
"Wait what? Really?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, you did show a good singing voice back at the talent show and I wanna see how much more you can be on stage in front of other people. You made me proud of what you can do with the music I taught you and I wanna see if you can be better in front of a crowd, but the choice is yours" replied Luna.
Lincoln smiles. "I'll do it!"
This makes her smile and they drive off back home, but then they both lose their smiles and recall what they're gonna be doing tomorrow. 'Luan.'
A/N: Well, now we see how some of them are doing. But seeing how Luan is, it might not be so good when Lincoln and Luna come over and say hello. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Sorry about the cliffhanger at the one with Lana and Lola, but some of you might have already known who the lady is.
