"Damn, what am I going to do?" Lincoln started to feel despondent when he noticed something. Because of the constant beating and low vibration of needles sticking everywhere, Lincoln was able to use echolocation and get a clearer mental picture of his surroundings. Lincoln looked around and managed to find a chain hanging outside the container. Lincoln took the chain and stood with the help of his trusty cane, which he folded and dangled from his belt. Lincoln spun the chain, causing the needles to dig and tangle between its links until the attack stopped.
The chain is filled with Boomer needles. The situation is like an old Western movie scenario where, in the final confrontation, the hero and villain stare at each other to see who gets their gun out first. Boomer with his needle or Lincoln with his chain
Boomer quickly puts his hand in his pocket, but before he can take it out, Lincoln winds his chain around it. The needles dig into Boomer's flesh. Lincoln pulled Boomer and spun him around, smashing him into utility poles, walls, bike stations, and trash cans before spinning through the air and slamming him to the ground, creating a crack. He then repeats the same procedure where he spins him, hits everything around him, and then crashes into the wall of an old warehouse, causing him to fall and crush Boomer with debris.
Lincoln threw himself on the floor and sighed with relief. "Where do these bad guys come from?" Lincoln pressed his thumb against his leg to remove the needle, and once it was removed, he was able to regain his mobility. "Damn… when did this city become a lunatic asylum?" Suddenly Lincoln's stomach growled; it was not strange because, because of the effort he put into the fight, he used a lot of energy. As he lay on the ground, opening his arms, he could smell the sweat and the garbage that clung to him. Because of his keen sense of smell, the stench hit him even more strongly. "Damn it!" Lincoln got up and undressed before searching for the stadium entrance.
Inside, Lynn's team finished their training.
"Ah, that was intense, girls." Lynn and her friends were leaving the training ground and heading to the cafeteria to eat and drink before taking a shower when they smelled a strange smell.
"Ehh, what is this pest?" Maddie pinches her nose. "Lynn, did you ever get into the habit of not cleaning your shoes for a few months?"
Which greatly offended the athlete Loud. "Hey, my shoes don't stink that bad." At that moment, Lynn realized that her brother was not there. "Oh. Haven't you seen my brother?"
"brother?" They all said it in unison.
"Yeah, he was out with me, and then…" Lynn noticed that her friends didn't listen to her because they seemed distracted. "Hey, do you pay attention to what I say?" But the girls didn't respond to her; they still had that lost-in-the-blank look. "Let's see, what made them crazy?" Lynn turned around and saw what attracted her friends.
Lincoln walked over to his sister, no one apparently noticing the stench that emanated from the boy. "Hey, Lynn... can you tell me where the shower is in here? I need to clean up urgently."
The girls wake up from their trance when they see that the boy is Lincoln.
"Wait!" Polly said. "Is that Lincoln? Your brother, that you set me up with at 'Hawkins' dance?"
"Is that Polly's voice? Hahahaha, how nice to see you again. Polly, well, instead hearing you again,
A blush was drawn on the skater girl's cheeks.
Lynn pinches her nose while sniffing her brother. "Man, what happened to you? You smell worse than Lana."
"I slipped on a banana peel, and I fell in the trash, okay?"
Lynn had doubts about that story, but she'd rather believe her brother than put up with the stench for a second longer. "Okay, okay, come on, I'll take you. To take a shower."
"But Lynn. We don't have Lincoln clothes here," Lainey pointed out.
Actually, that is not true." Margo answered, and all the girls turned to see her. "Remember last year when that pervert from high school wanted to put cameras in the bathrooms?"
The girls remembered that moment and started laughing.
"Ha-ha-ha, yeah. We found him and beat him up. Then we stripped him naked and made him walk around naked." Nadi clutches her stomach, laughing as she remembers that day.
"So I kept his clothes on like a prize," Margo said, pulling out of her bag the outfit, which consisted of a black T-shirt with a wolf skull on the back and chest. Plus some red shorts.
"Do you take that pervert's clothes everywhere?" Maddie asked?
"Just as a warning. And don't worry, it's laundered."
"Good. I won't be picky." Lincoln takes the clothes, and Lynn escorts him to the shower.
After about fifteen minutes and after Lynn had stopped several bystanders except Lainey, Lincoln emerged in his "new clothes". Then they went to the snack bar in the place, but it was closed because the owner of the restaurant was beaten by a mother after he insulted her weight. So the team and Lincoln had to eat at Burpin Burger.
The place brought back memories for Lincoln, like when he took his sisters in a limo to eat there after winning a contest or when they got stuck in the restaurant after a big snowfall. Fortunately, after the expansion of the city, they now had better equipment so that this would not happen again.
In three years of absence during the economic boom, Burpin Burger has gone from a humble local hamburger joint to a fully fledged franchise with more than 2,000 locations nationwide.
