So...last where we left off, Carol hasn't really been herself ever since she confessed the truth about Lori and Bobby's break up, so Bobby decided to help her out by inviting her to join the Loud family on Thanksgiving. The day went well, and Carol left on good terms with Lori. However, on the very next day, a group of bikers came out of nowhere and took Lincoln with them. How will everyone handle this crisis? Let's find out...

I like to once again thank DukeyDukeyDoo and Mike The Red Engine for helping me proofread. Thanks for putting up with this chapter, guys.

Chapter 21: One for the Price of Two

Back at the Loud house...

[Lori and Bobby were spending some alone time on the couch while Lori's siblings were doing their usual hobbies upstairs. Rita and Lynn Sr. were off at work leaving the young couple in charge of everyone in the house. Just then, they heard knocking on the front door.]

Bobby: "Who is it?"

Ronnie Anne: "It's Ronnie Anne! Could you guys let me in?"

[With that, Bobby got up from the couch and opened the door, allowing his sister to run into his arms with tears running down her face.]

Bobby: "Nie-nie? What's wrong?"

[Ronnie Anne didn't answer and turned her head away from her brother.]

Lori: "Where's Lincoln? He didn't abandon you, did he?"

Ronnie Anne: "No...he didn't... But...he was taken."

[Lori's eyes widened as she stared at her boyfriend's sister with terror.]

Lori: "Taken?! What are you talking about? Who took him?!"

Bobby: "Please, tell us."

[Ronnie Anne wiped her eyes before looking at her brother again.]

Ronnie Anne: "This group of bikers. Lincoln, Clyde and I were just having a good time at the skate park until those assholes showed up and swooped Lincoln right off the ground."

[Lori's eyes widened before she got off the couch and walked over to Ronnie Anne.]

Lori: "Who were they?! What did they look like?! For God's sake, tell me everything!"

[Bobby stood up and put his hands on his girlfriend's shoulders in an attempt to calm her down.]

Bobby: "Babe, take a deep breath and calm down. Remember what happened at the mall?"

[Lori took a deep breath and sighed.]

Lori: "You're right, Bobby..."

[Lori looked down at Ronnie Anne again.]

Lori: "Okay, Ronnie Anne... Who were those bikers and what do they want with Lincoln?"

Ronnie Anne: "I don't know who they were, but they gave me this."

[Ronnie Anne showed her brother and Lori the envelope. Bobby took the envelope and opened it to reveal a note. It said 'iF yoU wANt To sEe yOur SoN aGAin CalL tHiS nUmbER'. Lori eyed the note and was so horrified by it that she sat back down on the couch and covered her face with said note.]

Lori: "What kind of people would literally kidnap a little boy in broad daylight...and in the middle of a park?"

[Bobby sat beside his girlfriend and wrapped his arm around her as he took the envelope and looked at the back of it to reveal a phone number.]

Bobby: "I have no idea...but whoever did this left a phone number... Should we call it right now?"

[After Lori had calmed down, she stood up off the couch again.]

Lori: "Bobby... I need to hold an emergency sister group meeting upstairs."

Bobby: "I'll help you, babe. I know it wouldn't be much of a sister group meeting, but you can't do this alone...not in this state."

Lori: "Okay, Bobby."

[With that, Bobby and Lori walked up the stairs and into Lori and Leni's room while Ronnie Anne laid down on the couch and held the note to her chest.]

Ronnie Anne: "Please be okay, Lincoln."

Meanwhile, at the McBride house...

[Harold and Howard were just when they heard the doorbell ringing.]

Harold: "Who is it?"

Clyde: "It's me, Dad! Please let me in!"

[Getting the feeling that his son might be in serious danger, Howard opened the door and Clyde ran inside the house and into Harold's arms.]

Harold: "What's the matter, son?"

Clyde: "We need to call the police!"

Howard: "Why?! What happened?!"

Clyde: "Lincoln and I were just hanging out with Ronnie Anne at the skate park and then these bikers showed up out of nowhere and took Lincoln!"

[Clyde's fathers gasped before hugging their son.]

Howard: "Bikers?! Oh my lord, Clyde! Did they hurt you?!"

Clyde: "No, Dads... They didn't hurt me..."

[Clyde's eyes started leaking tears.]

Clyde: "But they took off with Lincoln... We've got to do something about it!"

Harold: "Now, stay calm! We'll just inform the police about this whole thing, and then we'll call Dr. Lopez so she can help us cope! Don't worry, Clyde! We'll do everything we can for Lincoln's sake!"

[With that, Harold rushed over to the house phone and dialed 9-1-1.]

Back at the Loud house...

[In Lori and Leni's room, Lori and Bobby had gathered all of their siblings into the room to discuss the recent misfortune. When Lori showed all of her sisters the note, they were understandably horrified.]

Luna: "Lincoln's been kidnapped?! Bogus!"

Lucy: "Who on earth would do something so morbid?!"

Lynn: "Well, whoever took our brother is in for a world of hurt!"

[Lynn pounded her fists while Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes.]

Ronnie Anne: "Oh, sure! Go try to find the women who took Lincoln and give them a piece of your mind! The last time I checked...THEY HAD GUNS! Do you really expect to take down a bunch of armed bikers with your bare hands and come back home unharmed?!"

[Lynn groaned.]

Lynn: "I hate to admit it, Ronnie Anne, but you're right. That is something that even I can't handle..."

Lisa: "We don't even know where these kidnappers are even situated, so I might need to do some research on that."

Leni: "Is he going to be okay?!"

Lori: "We don't know... All we know is that whoever wrote the note gave us a phone number as well."

Lola: "So call it already!"

Lori: "No! I think we should wait until mom and dad come home... They'll know what to do, right?"

Lola: "Then call Mom and Dad instead!"

Lori: "I'll get to that! This is just...this is literally a lot to take in right now!"

[Lori started breaking into tears again as Bobby hugged her.]

Lisa: "I'll be in my room trying to figure out a solution to this crisis."

[With that, Lisa left the room. Bobby then used Lori's cell phone to call her parents...starting with her mother.]

Meanwhile at Dr. Feinstein's dentistry...

[Rita was busy helping Dr. Feinstein fix another patient's teeth when her cell phone started ringing, prompting the mother of eleven to run into the hallway to answer the call. She saw Lori's caller ID and answered it.]

Rita: "What is it, Lori? I'm working right now! Wha- Slow down! Why are you crying? Wha-"

[Rita then gasped when she heard what her daughter told her.]

Rita: "Are you serious?! Don't go anywhere, I'll going to pick up your father and we'll be right home!"

[Rita hung up almost immediately told her boss what was going on. Dr. Feinstein agreed to let Rita leave given how dire this situation was. Rita left the office, got in Vanzilla, and drove straight to her husband's workplace.]

Meanwhile at Aloha Comrade...

[Lynn Sr. was working in the kitchen with Sergei when he heard his cell phone ringing in his pants. After getting permission from his boss to take a break, Lynn Sr. went out back to answer the call. He checked the caller ID to see it was from Rita.]

Lynn Sr.: "Hey, honey? What's going on? A family emergency? Okay, I understand...just don't take too long."

[Lynn Sr. hung up before heading back into the kitchen to speak with Sergei.]

Lynn Sr.: "Chef Sergei?"

Sergei: "Da?"

Lynn Sr.: "I need to get off work early, today. My wife just called to tell me about a family emergency and she's coming to pick me up."

Sergei: "What is it?"

Lynn Sr.: "Well, she didn't really say... She said she didn't want to alarm me until she arrived. But I guess there's nothing left to do for now except work."

Sergei: "Whatever this emergency is, just to let you know that when your wife arrives, I won't stop you."

[After a few more minutes of working, Rita finally arrived to pick up her husband. Lynn Sr. got in the passenger seat before Rita drove towards the Loud house.]

Lynn Sr.: "Alright, Rita... What's going on?"

Rita: "I'm sorry... I didn't want to alert your boss, but...our son has been kidnapped!"

[Lynn Sr.'s pupils shrank when he heard what his wife had just said.]

Lynn Sr.: "WHAT?! Please tell me you're joking!"

[Rita's eyes filled with tears as she snapped at her husband.]

Rita: "Do I sound like I'm joking here?! Our baby boy has been taken hostage!"

[Lynn Sr. grabbed his own head and started to panic.]

Lynn Sr. "Oh my God! No, no, no! This can't be happening! Are you absolutely sure about this?!"

Rita: "Lori told me over the phone after she heard it from Ronnie Anne! Of course I'm sure!"

Lynn Sr.: "Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God! This has got to be a nightmare! What are we supposed to do?!"

Rita: "I don't know! We'll just have to think about it once we get home!"

Lynn Sr.: "What about those Detectives Castleton and Koch?"

Rita: "I already called them on the way from work and Castleton said that they already got a report about the incident."

Lynn Sr.: "Okay...at least that's something."

Meanwhile, at the Loud house...

[Ronnie Anne sat on Lincoln's bed trying to take all of this in.]

Ronnie Anne: Who the hell were those girls? What do they want with Lincoln? Why did their leader call me her child? UGH! This is so confusing!

[Ronnie Anne then noticed Lincoln's stuffed rabbit, Bun-Bun on his desk and picked it up. She looked at the rabbit and sighed.]

Ronnie Anne: "I hope you're alright, Lincoln."

[Ronnie Anne snapped out of her thoughts as Lisa came into the room.]

Lisa: "Would you mind coming into my eldest sister's bedroom? I think I might've found where Lincoln's located."

[Lisa then noticed what Ronnie Anne was holding in her hands.]

Lisa: "Care to explain why you are in possession of Lincoln's favorite stuffed animal?"

[Ronnie Anne looked around nervously before tossing the stuffed rabbit back onto Lincoln's pillow.]

Ronnie Anne: "Uhhh... What stuffed animal?"

Lisa: "Never mind! We are wasting precious time! So, let's go!"

[Lisa took hold of Ronnie Anne's hand and dragged her through the hallway and into Lori and Leni's room. The Latina then looked around to find someone missing.]

Ronnie Anne: "Where are Lori and Bobby?"

Lisa: "Our eldest sister is in the family lavatory weeping her eyes out and your brother's in there consoling her."

Lucy: "I think it's best to leave them alone..."

[Lisa sighed before walking onto the podium.]

Lisa: "Anyway...I think I may have found out where our brother is being held!"

Ronnie Anne: "Really? Then tell us already!"

[The girls looked at Lisa, waiting in anticipation for her answer.]

Lisa: "Well, I don't know where exactly, but according to further studies, our only male sibling has been taken to the neighboring town of Fernville just south of Royal Woods... Any questions?"

Ronnie Anne: "Yeah...how did you know Lincoln's there?"

[Lisa nervously looked left and right before glaring at the Latina.]

Lisa: "Does anyone else have something to say about this?"

Leni: "How about we call the police?"

Lisa: "Seems simple enough... Although, considering the amount of patrons at the skate park, someone might've already done so... There's also the possibility of both of our parental units calling them."

[Lynn imitated a buzzing noise before speaking.]

Lynn: "Wrong answer, Leni! What if they aren't able to help Lincoln?! I say we head over to Fernville right now, and give those kidnapping bastards what's comin' to them!"

Lisa: "I understand your urgency to save our brother, Lynn... The problem is that we don't know how many kidnappers there are. Plus, as Ronalda has informed us earlier, they are equipped with firearms, meaning that one of us or more could potentially die if we try to save him ourselves."

[Lynn grabbed her second-youngest sister by the collar of her sweater and stared directly into her eyes.]

Lynn: "Need I remind you that LINCOLN could potentially die if we don't do something to help him?"

Lisa: "I'm regrettably sorry, but trying to rescue Lincoln ourselves might prove to be both fatal and futile. All we can do right now is wait for our parental units return."

[Lynn let go of Lisa and left the room in tears and frustration.]

Luna: "So we're just gonna wait in the house without doing anything?! NO! We ain't gonna take it!"

Lola: "Yeah! Can't you just invent something that'll help save him?! I thought you were supposed to be the smart one!"

Lucy: "I have to agree with Lisa... We're all going to die."

Leni: "But I don't want to die! I've got too much to live for!"

[With that, all of the other siblings started arguing amongst each other...all except Ronnie Anne, who just left to seek shelter in Lincoln's room. Lisa started to crack under the pressure of her older siblings fighting until she yelled out.]

Lisa: "Will you all be QUIET?!"

[All the siblings stopped immediately while Lisa took a deep breath and calmed down.]

Lisa: "I'm sorry, but I am a scientist...not a magician... Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do further research from within my bunker."

[Lisa walked out of the bedroom, leaving the rest of the girls feeling helpless and worried.]

Lana: "I really hope Lincoln gets saved soon. Who knows what these jerks are doing to him right now."

[The girls embraced each other, hoping that their only brother will return home in one piece.]

Meanwhile, in an unknown area...

[Lincoln woke up to see nothing but darkness, as something was obstructing his view. When the object was removed, the boy saw that he was in some kind of dark room, probably a warehouse, surrounded by four women, two of who appear to be Latina.]

Lincoln: "Wha...Where am I?"

[One of the girls, who was apparently the leader, walked up to Lincoln.]

Gena: "You're somewhere where no one can see you...except for El Jefe."

Lincoln: "Who's El Jefe?"

[Gena leaned forward and looked Lincoln in the eyes, as the white-haired boy was trying his best not to stare at the woman's cleavage.]

Gena: "You'll find out soon enough. Hold onto his shoulders, Marcelle."

[Marcelle did so, while Gena put her hand on the white-haired boy's leg, making him feel uncomfortable.]

Lincoln: "What are you doing?"

[Gena whispered into Lincoln's ear, causing him to shiver intensely.]

Gena: "Making you suffer, that's what. You've been a really bad boy, and you need to be punished."

[Gena then licked Lincoln's neck, which made the boy shake with fear.]

Lincoln: "Ewww!"

Marcelle: "Please, don't struggle so much... It's not going to help."

[Gena then grabbed Lincoln's shirt and ripped it in half, exposing the white-haired boy's body. Then the head biker started licking the boy's chest while rubbing her finger around his crotch. Lincoln moaned, wishing that he had his mother or one of his older sisters to help him. Marcelle bit her lip as her sister kept doing her business.]

[Gena then stopped before putting her hand on the boy's head and forcing it between both of her breasts. Lincoln tried to speak, but he couldn't as his face was buried between the woman's melons.]

[Finally, the woman released Lincoln as the boy started gasping for air.]

Gena: "Okay, Marcelle... I think it's your turn."

[Marcelle sighed sadly and walked in front of Lincoln while Gena held on to his shoulders...albeit with more force.]

Gena: "Turn around and drop your pants, Marcelle. Time to give this boy a show to remember."

[At Gena's command, Marcelle would always use this tactic to seduce unsuspecting victims before her sister took care of the rest. In any case, Marcelle rolled her eyes, turned around, lowered her shorts and leaned forward, giving Lincoln a full view of the twenty-some year old Latina's ass with a white thong...and a strange feeling in his own pants.]

Gena: "You know, it's strange how I get to have a big rack while my little sister gets more activity in the back... I kinda envy her sometimes."

Lincoln: "Why are you doing this to me? What did I ever do to you?"

Gena: "Nothing, really... But I think El Jefe might have something to say about that... Give it to him, Marcelle."

Marcelle: "I'm sorry about this... Just try to grin and bear it and it'll be over soon."

[With that, Marcelle started moving her hips left and right, making Lincoln sweat intensely. Gena simply watched with excitement.]

Gena: "Oh yes! That's right! Shake it, sister! Give this dirty little brat what's coming to him!"

[Lincoln struggled in his bonds and whined.]

Lincoln: "Please! Stop! No more of this! I want to go home!"

Gena: "Ohohoho, my... Surely for a big boy living with eleven girls, you'd be used to this by now?"

Lincoln: "How did you know about my family?!"

Gena: "El Jefe told me everything about them...especially the blonde who couldn't keep her legs closed..."

[As if on cue, they heard a gruff voice coming from the darkness.]

"That's enough, girls! Me and him are gonna have a little chat."

[Gena and Marcelle stopped their show and the latter pulled her shorts back up before following her sister outside...before taking one last look of regret at Lincoln. The white-haired boy looked up and saw a big shadowy figure walking towards him. Upon entering the light, Lincoln stared in horror when he saw that figure was none other than Alex Santiago, scowling at the white-haired boy.]

Alex: "So...we meet again, chico?"

Lincoln: "Mr. Santiago?"

Alex: "That's El Jefe to you, fuckface! And I've come for some payback!"

Lincoln: "What do you want with me?!"

Alex: "You know goddamn well what I want from you, you little shit! I had to leave this town by myself because you couldn't keep your damn nose out of my business!"

Lincoln: "You were being a terrible parent to Bobby and Ronnie Anne! I had to get them away from you before things got any worse!"

Alex: "Well...it looks like things got worse anyway...for you, that is. How the fuck does a semen-haired little shit like you survive in such a big household with eleven hermanas? Where I come from, I was bugged, harassed, and ridiculed by my own familia!"

Lincoln: "You were in a big family, too?"

Alex: "I was... Only the family that I grew up with were never even related to me! My real madre didn't even want me, so she just dumped me at an orphanage shortly after I was born. I spent my first few years at that orphanage with no friends and rough sisters until I was adopted by some foster family. When they took me in, all the kids ever did was torture me, humiliate me, and use me to their own advantage! The parents even punished me by locking me in the basement where the only company I had were the rats and the smell of shit!"

Lincoln: "Where are you going with this?"

[Alex took a cigar out of his jacket before putting the thing in his mouth and lighting it.]

Alex: "I had to put up with all of those...people until I was an adult. The only family that carries my own flesh and blood are Junior and Ronalda, and I will do anything in my power to make sure that they stay with me."

Lincoln: "Look! I'm sorry about your family issues, but what is kidnapping me going to accomplish?"

[Alex responded by blowing some smoke at Lincoln, causing the boy to start coughing.]

Alex: "You really are stupider than you look. All those girls you live with seem to care about you the same way you care for them...or at least, they pretend to care. So now, I have a little ace in the hole...or should I say, Ace Savvy in the hole."

[Alex let out a chuckle.]

Lincoln: "What do you mean pretend?! My family will get me out of this! And when they do, they'll make sure you don't harm us or your children ever again!"

[Alex laughed again before using his cigar to burn the boy's chest, causing him to scream in agony.]

Alex: "I think you're in denial, boy! All those sisters of yours have their own little problems and you are just their little errand boy...just like how I was to my foster family! They don't even love you anyway! You're just a slave to them! A butt monkey! Nothing but a pawn to them! And when you've outlived their usefulness, they'll throw you out on the streets like garbage...something that Junior and that slutty sister of yours should've done to that...filth a long time ago!"

Lincoln: "That's not true! My sisters DO love me! And I think love is something that people like you don't have! You have no right forcing two people to get rid of a baby!"

[Alex scoffed before leaving another burn mark on Lincoln's chest with his cigar.]

Alex: "I think you've run your mouth long enough, gringo... But, whatever...that puta can keep that little shit for all I give a fuck... Gena has done her part in giving Ronalda the message...now, all we have to do is wait until I get a phone call."

[Just then, Alex heard his cell phone ringing in his coat, making the big man grin with delight.]

Alex: "Speak of El Diablo."

[As Alex is about to answer the call, Lincoln turned to look at the readers with tears in his eyes.]

Lincoln: "I hope someone can get me out of here soon... I don't know how much longer I can put up with this..."

[Lincoln was interrupted when he felt another cigar burn on his chest.]

Alex: "Will you shut up?! I can't concentrate if you're going to run your mouth!"

Meanwhile, at the Loud house...

[Rita stood in the living room with the phone to her ear waiting for a response while her husband sat on the couch watching in anticipation. After three beeps, she heard the caller speak in a gruff Mexican accent.]

"Hola, Senorita Loud."

[Rita gasped when she recognized the voice on the other end.]

Rita: "Mr. Santiago?!"

[Lynn Sr. froze when he heard that name.]

Alex: "You know...I think that husband of yours was really estupido to let me walk away. And now look what's happened... His own mijo has been taken away because of him."

Rita: "Don't you talk about my husband that way, you sick bastard! Where is my son?! Tell me right now!"

Alex: "Sounds like someone's really fierce... Don't worry, Mrs. Loud. He's just fine...aren't you, mijo?"

Lincoln: "M-M-Mom? Help..."

[Rita had tears in her eyes as she heard her son's shaky cries for help. However, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak again.]

Rita: "What do you want from us? Tell me!"

Alex: "I think it's pretty obvious, isn't it? All I want is my own two children back with me. Bring them to the rail yard in Fernville, and I will give you your boy back... Two for the price of one! You bring my children there by midnight, or else it's adios to little Lindon. Also, I want no policia...no police...comprende?"

[Rita kept quiet for a few seconds before finding the strength to speak again.]

Rita: "If you hurt my son in any way-"

[With that, Rita heard Alex hang up and dropped the phone before covering her mouth and sobbing. Her husband stood up and put his hands on her shoulders before turning her around to face him.]

Lynn Sr.: "What did he say, honey?"

Rita: "He has Lincoln and...he wants us to bring Bobby and Ronnie Anne so he'll let him go...or else they'll..."

[Rita couldn't say any more and collapsed in her husband's arms. Lynn Sr. held her as tight as she could and let her cry on his chest.]

Lynn Sr.: "I'm so sorry... If I'd known back then that he'd stoop this low, I would've considered calling the police on him."

Rita: "It's... It's not your fault, honey... You were only trying to do the right thing... You couldn't have known."

[Lynn Sr. and Rita sat on the couch.]

Lynn Sr.: "What are we going to do now?"

Rita: "I don't think we have a lot of time, or any other options... We might have to just...take them back before anything happens to our son."

Lynn Sr.: "But, how are we going to tell Bobby and Ronnie Anne that they have to be brought back to their father?"

"I'll do it..."

[Lynn Sr. and Rita turned to see Bobby staring at them from the top of the stairs.]

Lynn Sr.: "Bobby... How much did you hear?"

Bobby: "Just about enough, Mr. Loud... Also, you don't need to tell me anything else...I know what I have to do."

Lynn Sr.: "Look, son... It's nothing against-"

Bobby: "No, no...I get it... I know how much Lincoln means to you guys, so there's no need to apologize... I'll just get myself ready to leave."

Rita: "Are you sure about this?"

Bobby: "If it means he'll let Lincoln go...then I've got no other choice... I have to take one for the team...or two if you count Ronnie Anne."

Lynn Sr.: "But what about Lori and the baby?"

Bobby: "You guys take care of them. Lincoln means so much to his sisters, just like how much my child means to me and Lori."

[Lynn Sr. gave up and sighed.]

Lynn Sr.: "I'll go start up the van. You go bring your sister."

Rita: "And I better go tell the girls the news... But I don't think Lori's going to like this."

[Bobby nodded, and went to get Ronnie Anne, just as Lynn Sr. headed outside and Rita went into Lori and Leni's room.]

[When Bobby approached the door to Lincoln's room, he took a deep breath before knocking.]

Bobby: "Nie-nie...are you in there?"

Ronnie Anne: "Come in."

[Bobby opened the door and walked in to see Ronnie Anne laying on her back on Lincoln's bed.]

Ronnie Anne: "What is it? Are you able to get through to those guys?"

[Bobby took a deep breath and sat on the bed.]

Bobby: "Ronnie Anne...I'm sorry to tell you this, but...we have to leave..."

Ronnie Anne: "What?! Why?!"

[Bobby wrapped his arm around his sister and proceeded to tell her the bad news.]

Bobby: "You're not going to like this but...those kidnappers...they're working for our father."

[Ronnie Anne's eyes went wide. Then she got off the bed and started cursing in Spanish while punching on the wall next to the door. Bobby just remained on the bed and watched his sister with worry.]

Ronnie Anne: "I should've known...

Bobby: "Jesus, Ronnie Anne..."

[Ronnie Anne stopped her fit and clenched her fists with tears in her eyes.]

Ronnie Anne: "I should've known it was him! Why can't you just call the police on that bastard and be done with it? Huh?!"

[Bobby put both hands on his sister's shoulders in an fruitless attempt to calm her down.]

Bobby: "I'm sorry, Nie-nie, but we can't risk it! We have to do as he says or they will kill Lincoln."

Ronnie Anne: "UGH! THIS SUCKS!"

[Ronnie Anne moved from her brother and marched down the stairs until she was out the front door.]

Bobby: "Wait, Nie-nie!"

[Before Bobby could follow his sister, he heard a familiar voice cry out to him from the hallway.]

Lori: "NO!"

[Bobby turned around to see Lori wobbling over to him and hugged him tightly with tears in her eyes.]

Lori: "You can't leave me, Boo-Boo Bear! I just got you back! I don't want to lose you ever again!"

Bobby: "I don't want to do this, babe... But I have to try and help Lincoln."

Lori: "Bobby, please! You can't leave! This literally isn't fair! There's gotta be another way!"

Bobby: "Lori! If you don't let me and Ronnie Anne go, you're gonna lose your brother! Or worse!"

Lori: "But I...I don't want to lose any or you! I don't-"

[Lori buried her face in Bobby's shirt and sobbed uncontrollably. Bobby wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and let her cry on him for a full minute while Rita and the other Loud siblings watched from Lori and Leni's room.]

Leni: "Should we-?"

Rita: "No, Leni... We need to let them say their farewells."

Lucy: "Sigh...those poor souls."

[Bobby noticed them and spoke up.]

Bobby: "Do you guys mind giving me and Lori the room? We need to spend some time alone before I leave."

[Rita nodded and motioned for her daughters to follow her downstairs. Bobby guided Lori to her and Leni's room and they both sat on Lori's bed.]

[When Lori had finished crying, Bobby spoke to her as he started to tear up as well.]

Bobby: "Please don't cry, Lori... You know I can't stand to see you cry... Can you please be strong for me...and our little bumblebee? You're getting me started up."

[Lori let out a sniffle.]

Lori: "I don't know if I can, Boo-Boo Bear..."

[Bobby started wiping some of the tears off his girlfriend's mascara-stained face.]

Bobby: "It's okay, Lori... You have a huge family that's going to help you through this...and they care for you very much. In case I eventually do come back, I probably won't be that same boy you fell in love with... But promise me one thing."

[Lori nodded.]

Bobby: "Promise me that you'll give our child a happy life... The kind that me and Ronnie Anne might never have... I love you..."

[Bobby gave his girlfriend one last long kiss on the forehead before crouching down and putting his hands on her baby bump.]

Bobby: "I'll miss you so much, my child... I'm sure you're gonna grow up to be a great person like your dad... Papi loves you very much...goodbye."

[Bobby kissed Lori's stomach and wiped his eyes before heading out the door to catch up with Ronnie Anne. Lori sadly watched through the living room window as her beloved Boo-Boo Bear and his sister got into Vanzilla before her father drove them away. Tears ran down her face as she went downstairs and sat down on the couch before putting both of her hands on her baby bump.]

Lori: "It's okay, pumpkin... Mommy's gonna make sure you have a better life. Your daddy loves you...he's just...leaving to protect us."

[Rita stood by her daughter's side and hugged her tightly while the rest of the girls did the same.]

[Unknown to everyone, Castleton got everything from his van, while Koch was sleeping beside him. He then pulled his phone out of his coat and called someone.]

Castleton: "Yes... I think now's the time to prove your loyalty... Yes, the Fernville rail yard... Just send someone to get them out of there as soon as possible..."

[Castleton hung up and started the van, following Vanzilla while trying his best to maintain his cover as the rain started to fall down.]

On the road to Fernville...

[The rain fell from the night sky as Lynn Sr. drove Vanzilla with Bobby and Ronnie Anne sitting in the second row seats. The drive had taken at least fifteen minutes since leaving home. Lynn Sr. looked at the two kids through his windshield mirror and sighed. Bobby was sad that he'll never see his beloved Lori or their child again while Ronnie Anne was so sad and furious that she had her hoodie over her head and her hands in her pockets.]

Lynn Sr.: "I am so sorry, you guys... I really wish I could keep you and my children. But I guess life doesn't work that way, does it?"

[Bobby looked out his window to watch the rain fall.]

Bobby: "I know, Mr. Loud. I just wanted to live a nice peaceful life with Lori and raise our child together. I love her...she's like the best thing to ever happen to me since Ronnie Anne, but I don't want to sacrifice her brother just to stay with her... I don't want you to put you guys in danger because of me."

Lynn Sr.: "It's not your fault, son... I mean, if I was in your shoes, I'd do the same thing myself. I will admit, that it must've been nice while it lasted."

[Lynn Sr. then turned his gaze towards Bobby's sister.]

Lynn Sr.: "How are you holding up, Ronnie Anne?"

[Ronnie Anne said nothing and turned her head to look out the window as the patriarch of the Loud family kept driving. Lynn Sr. thought he saw something in his rear view mirror, but dismissed it as he thought the rain was playing tricks on his mind. Lynn Sr. just had to hope that his only son was alright.]

[After what seemed like thirty minutes, they have arrived in Fernville. It took another ten minutes before they found the place that Lincoln was being held at. There, two women armed with MAC-10 machine pistols were guarding the entrance to the rail yard. One was African-American and the other had short red hair.]

Lynn Sr.: "Well...this must be the place."

[Bobby and Ronnie Anne got out of Vanzilla and walked up to the guards before the one with red hair, Kiki, spoke up.]

Kiki: "Follow me, you two. Your father is waiting for you inside."

[The Santiago siblings complied and followed her through the entrance to the train yard. Lynn Sr. wanted to come with them, but the African-American guard, Roxanne, stopped him at gunpoint.]

Roxanne: "Hold it right there, Mr. Loud! Ya bettah stay right where you are and don't you be movin' no muscle now, you hear?"

[Lynn Sr. raised his hands.]

Lynn Sr.: "But, my son-!"

Roxanne: "It ain't up to me, Mr. Loud. Now ya'll better get yo' ass back in that car and stay there! We don't wanna be to killin' nobody now, do we?"

[Lynn Sr. sighed and watched the Santiago siblings walk deeper in the train yard before getting back into Vanzilla.]

Lynn Sr.: "Please let my son make it out safely."

[The woman sighed and kept her gaze on Lynn Sr. as he waited in his van.]

[Meanwhile, Bobby and Ronnie Anne were still following the red-haired woman to the warehouse.]

Ronnie Anne: "Ugh! Why does my father have to keep FUCKING everything up for us?!"

Bobby: "Nie-nie! Language!"

[Ronnie Anne sighed while Kiki looked back for a second.]

Ronnie Anne: "I'm sorry... It's just that... I can't believe we're going back to living under that monster."

[Bobby sighed and put his arm on his sister's shoulder.]

Bobby: "I don't like this any more than you do, Ronnie Anne. But what choice do we have? Lincoln's in real danger here...and his family would be too if we don't do as he says..."

[Ronnie Anne lowered her head and let her tears flow, even though she tried her best to hide them. The walk towards the warehouse took almost a minute, but to Ronnie Anne, it felt like an eternity. But at last, they were all inside the building.]

[Back at the entrance, Roxanne kept her gaze on Lynn Sr.. By looking at her, she seemed to be a bit of a pothead.]

Roxanne: "So...your wife treat you well?"

[Before Lynn Sr. could answer, a bullet suddenly whizzed through the side of Roxanne's head and her limp body fell to the ground, giving the patriarch quite a jump. He then saw four men with tactical gear and sub machine guns infiltrating the entrance to the warehouse. Before doing so, their leader turned to look at Lynn Sr. and shushed him. They were using silenced weapons so that they wouldn't alarm any of the nearby guards.]

[After sneaking their way through the yard, the first SWAT team, along with a second one, positioned themselves on both ends of the building. Both leaders then spoke to someone via their comms.]

Alpha Leader: "This is Alpha, we're in position...over."

Bravo Leader: "This is Bravo, we're in position...over."

[Lynn Sr. was still watching the whole thing when he heard knocking on the side of the driver's window. The patriarch quickly turned to his side and saw Castleton leaning by Vanzilla chewing on another piece of peppermint gum.]

Castleton: "Best thing to do is to keep quiet, Mr. Loud."

Lynn Sr.: "Castleton? Have you been following us all the way here?"

Castleton: "Maybe I have...maybe I haven't..."

Lynn Sr.: "But you have...haven't you?"

Castleton: "Listen... I've contacted the leader of BoEMC, and he's agreed to have his contact send two SWAT teams from Detroit."

Lynn Sr.: "What's BoEMC?"

Castleton: "Never mind that... I just want to make sure that your son and Mr. Santiago's children all make it out safely...just trust me on this."

[Lynn Sr. sighed. He just had to hope that Castleton knew what he was doing.]

[Inside the warehouse, Bobby and Ronnie Anne saw their father and Gena along with the rest of her crew standing in the light next to a shirtless Lincoln near the far end of the building. When the two siblings were close enough, Alex greeted them with a confident smile. Lincoln was sitting in a chair tied up with a bag over his head and a couple of cigar burns on his chest, much to Ronnie Anne horror and disgust.]

Ronnie Anne: "Dios mio...what has he done to you."

Alex: "Well...it took you both long enough... I've missed you both."

[Ronnie Anne just scoffed.]

Ronnie Anne: "Not sure I can say the same for you."

[Alex ignored his daughter's remark and turned his gaze toward Bobby.]

Alex: "So...you two here alone?"

[Bobby crossed his arms and looked down at the ground.]

Bobby: "Mr. Loud drove us here."

Alex: "Well, at least that fuckin' man-child's good for something."

[Alex laughed while Lincoln growled at him, despite the fact that he couldn't see him. Marcelle rubbed her hand on the boy's head in an attempt to calm him down.]

Alex: "See? Your amigo's in good hands. Gena and her girls have been taking great care of him...haven't you?"

Gena: "Oh, yes."

[Alex then wrapped his arm around Gena.]

Alex: "Speaking of Gena...say hello to your new madre."

[Ronnie Anne glared at her father and the woman right next to him.]

Ronnie Anne: "Madre, my ass!"

[Alex was quite unfazed by that insult, while Gena smirked.]

Gena: "Ooooh! She's a fiery girl...isn't she? That's what I like."

[Gena giggled while Alex kept glaring at Ronnie Anne.]

Alex: "Yeah? Well, when we get home, we're gonna have to put you and your brother back in your place."

Ronnie Anne: "You don't scare me..."

[Bobby stood between his sister and father and turned to look at the latter.]

Bobby: "Please, just let Lincoln go. He doesn't need to be involved in this anymore. He's got a family that loves him very much."

[Alex turned his head to Gena, who nodded. Marcelle started to feel some regret from hearing Bobby's words.]

Alex: "Fine then...a deal's a deal. But you do know what this means, don't you? Once we let him go, you and your sister will never be allowed to see him or the rest of his family of outcasts ever again... So as soon as your friend goes back to that hole the he resides in, we are all going on the next train to Toronto...comprende?"

Gena: "That includes me and my girls, right?"

Alex: "Absolutamente."

[Bobby could do nothing but nod in sadness. Gena motioned for Kiki to untie Lincoln and guide him back outside while Bobby and Ronnie Anne walked towards Alex. However, as Ronnie Anne walked past Lincoln, she noticed her father reach into his jacket and pull out a pistol before aiming it towards the white-haired boy. With one rush of adrenaline, Ronnie Anne jumped right in front of Lincoln.]

Ronnie Anne: "NOOOOO!"

[There was a gunshot...and Ronnie Anne felt something small penetrate her stomach before making contact with the floor. Bobby gasped in horror as he saw his sister bleeding on the floor, while everyone else shared signs of shock, anger, or both at the sight before them as Ronnie Anne's view faded to black.]

Well...shit... I really don't know what to say... But don't worry, she's not dead... Please forgive me.

Boris Yeltsin: Let's just hope Lincoln gets saved soon.

Hawkeye2006: I wouldn't count on that. The story isn't over until after the baby is born.

Gamelover41592: Yep.

SirClearwater: Lori hasn't completely forgiven Carol just yet. Also, the Bobby and Ronnie Anne need somebody to drive them.

DarthWill3: Let's just hope that Lincoln doesn't give in to Alex.

Jacksonangelo105: Lori hasn't fully made up with Carol, but they're making progress.

Ellis97: Once again, not fully forgiven yet. Also, I don't think Lincoln's been beaten...just taken.

Mike The Red Engine: Thanks again.
