Chapter 52 - 52

In the distance, Hank and Hawk's snowmobile was approaching the two siblings.

Hawk saw the siblings in the middle of the street, but he just hurried; it didn't matter if he ran over the girl.

Lola saw the snowmobile approaching, but fear did not allow her to move.

"Lolaaaaaaa." Lincoln's scream was followed by a crash. Lincoln carried Lola's body in his arms. "Lola? Please talk to me." Lincoln wanted to cry, but his eye injury had destroyed his tear ducts long ago.

While across the street the snowmobile has been turned upside down and Hank and Hawk are lying with all their loot scattered on the ground, "What the hell is that?" Hank asked.

Hawk could see a huge dent in the hood of his bike.

-a minute ago-

Before impact, Lincoln jumps to get his sister out of the way just as Hank and Hawk pass by, and Lincoln takes Lola in his arms and jumps onto the hood. The downforce of Lincoln's jump generated an opposing force that caused the snow scooter to roll over with its occupants, a clear example of Newton's third law.

Once he calmed down, Lincoln could hear his sister's heart beating very fast, followed by a cry.

"Lola? Are you okay?"

Lola pressed Lincoln's jacket against her as she hid her face against his chest, wetting her tears. "Lincoln, I couldn't move... I was so scared." Lola started crying into her brother's chest as she felt him caress her head.

"Shh, it's over, Lola; you're alright. I'm here. Your big brother is protecting you."

Hawk sees Lincoln and deduces that he caused the accident. "Hey, damn it, I don't know how you did this, but you will pay me for the damages."

Hank interrupts his friend when he hears the police sirens. Hawk, we have to go." They take as much as they can, which is less than a third of what they had before the crash. They turned on their snow scooter and left.

while Lola and Lincoln brushed off the snow from their clothes.

"Lola. Do you still want to go to the theater?"

Lola wiped her tears with her arm and answered. "Yes, I want to. I won't let that get to me."

"Are you sure? You almost got run over. What if it affects your performance?"

"I survived, right? Besides, didn't you say you'd take care of me? If you did, you don't have to worry."

Lincoln smiled warmly and hugged his sister. "That's my little sister." In this case, Lincoln reaches out to Lola. "Madam, may I accompany you?"

Lola laughs a little, covers her mouth with her fingers, and adopts a royal demeanor, she replies. "I shall be glad, my good sir." The girl takes Lincoln's hand and goes to her destination.

-in the theater-

Lola walks in and opens the doors wide. "No photos, please; no autographs today." Lola said as she entered the stage with the attitude of a diva.

All the girls, including Lindsey, watched her gracefully and arrogantly cross the doorstep.

Finally, her arch-rival Lindsey approaches her to confront her, followed by the other girls, among them Charlene, Jacqueline, and Claudette, who, although they could not stand it, were more intolerant of Lola's overbearing attitude.

Lindsey stood in front of Lola, blocking her way. "Listen Loud; enjoy your little star fantasy while you can, for soon your reign will be over and I will be crowned the new pageant queen."

Lola laughs sarcastically. "Are you doing a comedy show this year? That joke was better than my sister's."

"Laugh while you can, lola. Because when I'm done with you, don't..." Lindsey stayed mid-sentence, looking at a point.

"What about me? Come tell me what's wrong with you. Have you been silent?" Lola sneered at Lindsey when she noticed her eyes were glassy, and her eyes widened as wide as they could possibly be. "Hi? Lindsey?" Lola noticed that Lindsey wasn't the only one pulling off this look; the other participants were also looking in the same direction. "Where are you looking?" Lola turns to know that her companions are in that condition, but she only sees Lincoln. She immediately understood what was happening.

"Lola? Is everything alright?" Lincoln enters the stage with the help of his wand, and the companions would otherwise not notice, for they are still hypnotized by the presence of the mysterious boy. Lola decided to take advantage of what Lincoln had done to her rivals, and she took him by the hand.

"Sure, big brother, everything is fine."

The girls, hearing Lola call the boy brother, quickly gave her free rein as if she were a queen. Lola discovered a new form of respect. Something acquired through another person, whether that person is rich, influential, or, in the case of Lincoln, very handsome,

Lola and Lincoln were about to enter when Lincoln felt a large hand on his shoulder.

"I told you you will pay." It was Hawk who pulled Lincoln out, as his friend Hank was waiting for them. "Because of you, we lost a lot of goods and money, you idiot." Hawk throws Lincoln to the ground while the girls look frightened, and some of the others go looking for an adult to help Lincoln.

"We were going to sell half of what we packed out of that liquor store. We had a pretty good deal on our hands, and you screwed it all up." Hawk kicks Lincoln in the stomach.

"Hawk. Look at this." Hank was holding Lincoln's wand in his hands. "He is as blind as a mole." Hank sees Lincoln trying to get up, but he hits him in the back with his cane. "Oops. I'm sorry. Take it back." He gives him another blow, this time in the face, making him bleed from his lip.

"Nice Jacket" Hook takes off Lincoln's jacket, goes through his pockets, and takes out a wad of money. "What do we have here? One hundred and fifty dollars. That wouldn't be enough to pay for the damage to my snowmobile." He kicks him in the face and leaves him lying on his back.
