We were on our way to Chicago and Bee communicated to other Autobots with their radios and i listened little bit but didn't want to look like a stalker so i looked out of the window.

"Bee can i ask you something?"

"Sure- anything." Bee whirred

"Why are you really protecting me?" I asked

"I told you- y/n- i need to do it-" He started but cut off fast

"Why?.." I whispered

"You're -important to me -y/n" Bee continued

I was quiet for a moment and thinking and i didn't know what to say. I knew Bee had became lot important to me but i was afraid to say it to him.

"Are you happy to be on your own now?" I asked him

"I'm- not on -my- own.. " Bee responded

"What do you mean?" I asked

"I have you." He started "And the other Autobots " He ended

"Stop" I let little laugh but it ended fast and i looked again from the window

We were getting closer to Chicago and i saw Lockdown's ship

We tried to drive close as possible and i was on the bridge and me , Cade and Shane ran to closer to the ship.

"Bee come on" Cade called to him and Bee walked to him and helped them into the ship

"It's a bad idea. But i'm all about bad ideas" Hound commented

Cade and Shane already went to the ship with Bee

"Lets go" Hound said

"Little help?" I looked Crosshairs and he lifted me

"Well, lets rock" and then he jumped on the ship

"Don't you dare to drop me" I held tight on his shoulder plate

We got on top to the ship and Crosshairs let me down.

I thanked him with little smile.

Drift was already there so we started walking to his way and i walked next to Cade.

"This is crazy! Shane said

"If you wanna leave and run then do it now before its too late" Cade answered

"Look i'm not here to help you to get your daughter back.. You're here to help me get my girlfriend. " Shane said and left dramatically

"Gosh.. i'm happy i don't have those problems" I said and looked back to Hound and Bee .

I felt how the Lockdown's ship started to move and we all were getting inside the ship.. It was huge and crazy.

Me and Bee was the last ones and Bee was already going down and i was behind him but suddenly he turned to look at me and offered his servo.

"Bee i can do this on my own" I said and the same second i slipped but Bee catched me.

"You -can?" He asked again

"Yes.." I murmured..

"Ok now were behind the enemy line so the ship is full off booby traps so keep your eyes open" Hound reported

Then Crosshairs started to list all the things what there could be

"Beware of his bone grinders, brain blinders, flesh peelers, chromosomal inverters, catatonic sludge, black hole trapdoors, and of course, radiation" Crosshairs listed

"Yeah of course i knew that.." I nodded sarcastically and i didn't know what to think about all the traps there could be.

You started to walk around the place and looked up.

"We must be quick. We have the element of surprise" Drift said

"We do?" I asked with raising an eyebrow

"Let's try to use violence as a last resort" Drift continued

"Right the haiku thing" I nodded

And suddenly right away inside the wall came some weird creature and Drift attacked

"GET IT" Crosshairs encouraged him

"I kill you! kill you" Drift said while stabbing the creature

"I liked the let's try to use violence as a last resort" I said

"He is not alive anymore" Drift commented

I looked at him like the no shit face

"Okay well, we looked. They're not here so let's go" Crosshairs said and was already heading back

"What?!Hey, i'm not going anywhere without Tessa." Cade said

"And Optimus" I corrected Cade

"I'm unclear. What's in it for me?" Crosshairs asked and pointed me and Cade

"Crosshairs please" I said and continued looking around

"What's in it for you?!" Cade was getting angry again

I didn't even bother to try to stop them

"Easy.. Let's use words" Crosshairs lifted his arms as a defence because Hound pointed gun at him.

"Yeah you know the inner peace thing..Words are better than violence. Right Drift?" I looked him and Drift just nodded back "Thats right"

Those two didn't even listen what i just said

"What's in it for you is i don't kill you. Were getting the boss back. And the girl. Copy?" Hound said

"ok ok very persuasive. Textbook machismo"

"Are they always like that?" I asked from Bee

He whirred like it was funny and i smiled to him.

"Well, then. Well need to sabotage something" Crosshairs said while thinking

"Well sabotage something properly" i said to him because i didn't want anything to fail now because we needed to get Tessa and Optimus back.

"Better hurry because dark-matter drives are preparing to take off." Drift said

"Oh, wonderful" Crosshais answered

"I give us 10 minutes" Drift continued

"Is that what that sound is? The engines filling up? Are you telling me that thing's gonna be... This is gonna be flying out of here in 10 minutes" Shane panicked

"Uh-huh." Drift agreed

"Ten minutes!" Shane asked again just to make sure.

"Could be nine. Worst case, seven" Drift said

"Ok let's move on" I said and we started to separate from each other

I started to jog and Bee walked behind me.

"Cade yell if you're in trouble" I said to him and walked straight while Cade and Shane went to the left

"Where do we find them?" I asked from Bee

Bee just whirred in unknownment. Suddenly we heard yelling

"Tessaa!" It was Shane

"Oh my lord why is he yelling?" I said and pinched my nose bridge..

"Ok if they start chasing for him i'm not helping.." I said and continue walk.

"Bee tell if you find anything" I said to him and went further.

I looked into the smaller places because Bee couldn't do it and we started to separate from each other little more but i still saw him and if i needed anything well i needed just to call him.

I started to hear some clatter sounds like someone or something was running but i thought it was Bee so i continued trying to find Optimus because i believed and trusted that Shane and Cade can find Tessa with their own super senses.

I walked ahead and there was hallways crossing and i didn't know if i should go left, straight ahead, right or turn back so i stood there little while and then i saw something but wasn't sure what it was until it jumped to the hallway.

I tried to focus my eyes because it was so far away but then i realized that there were few Lockdown's dogs and they were coming towards me.

"Shit" I thought and started to back off to the left hallway and the dogs were already starting to run and so was i.

"C'mon i dont have time for this" and i tried to run.

My legs were aching from the bruises and wounds but i decided not to quit and not cry over about few wounds

The dogs were coming closer..

"Bee! Where are you!!" I started to yell but i didn't see him anywhere

I turned right and almost ran towards the wall because it was impase. I turned to see the dogs and they looked straight at me. Their eyes were glowing and there wasn't anything. Just the desire to kill you.

"Bee!" I started to panic a little bit.

The dogs were getting closer and closer and i started to back off until i felt the wall..

"Piece of shit" i said and closed my eyes

Then i heard crash and opened my eyes and it was Bee and he kicked the dogs out of the way.

"What took you so long?" I raised my hands in the air

"I'm -sorry. I had -few -problems there. I'm- here now " He said and lifted his shoulders

"Yeah and i'm grateful. " I said

"No problem.. youre a -warrior" He played and clapped his hand

"Did you find any clues?" I asked from him

"Nothing" He whirred sadly

"Dont worry.. We'll find him" I walked to him and i put my hand on his metallic leg and smiled at him

Suddenly we heard something
