We landed and Tessa hugged Cade. I grabbed Shane and hugged him "You did good kid" I said "Thank you" he said. I backed up and smiled at him "Let's go home to graduation, huh?" Cade said "Yeah" Tessa said "You're okay, kid. Come here, you're all right. You're all right" Cade said and he pulled in Shane and Tessa for a hug

Joshua was walking over. I ran over and hugged him "You were very brave" I said "We don't have a home, Dad. It blew up" Tessa said "I might be able to help you with that" Joshua said. 

Cade hugged him "Oh, good because I might need a plane home and a hospital visit or two" I said "Brave warriors...you are free!" Optimus said "I'll ride with you anytime, Spike!" Crosshairs said

The dinos took off "This Seed belongs to our creators, whoever they are. There remains a price on my head. I endanger you all if I stay. I shall take it where it can never be found" Optimus said "Will we ever see you again?" 

"Cade Yeager, I do not know. But whenever you look to the stars, think of one of them as my soul. Defend this family, Autobots, as they have you. Defend all they can be" Optimus said and he flew away

I looked at Joshua "So that flight home?" I asked "I can arrange that for you" "I just need to make a call first". I looked at Cade and signaled him, he walked over to me "What's up?" he asked "A lot of shit is going to happen and it's going to happen fast so I need you to listen"

There was this look in his eye, Sam had that look when we had to flee. I gave him another hug "Thank you" was all I could blurt out "I..I couldn't have done it without you" Cade said. 

I let him go "You did good without me I just helped. Anyways from this moment on you will be a fugitive most likely on the most wanted list, trust me it's not fun. I can help you and find places for you to lay low and I can help Tessa graduate and get her into school, but it's going to be no more contact for you guys"

He shook his head "No.." "Cade, if there was another way I would tell you. Hound can get a secure line but if they are looking for you you only get 15 seconds max and you cannot absolutely cannot talk, only listen or they will ID you. I need you to keep them safe which is why I'm giving you this"

I pulled out my radio and handed it to him "Alexia...no" he said. I pushed it into his hands "I can't keep them safe not with the military breathing down my back. I'm already gonna get my ass chewed out for this. They trust you now too, please Cade. I am putting my faith into your hands and obviously it comes with a heavy price"

We both looked over at Tessa and Shane "This might break her but, there's no other way. It's either this or a maximum security prison" he said 

"Thank you for powering him back on. They mean the world to me Cade, so trust me when I say this. If any of them get hurt I will kill you" he chuckled "I know so thank you for everything you did and everything you're going to do for my family, it means a lot Alexia. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay you" 

"Oh, shut up. Pay me back? Live, don't die and don't let my boys die. That's how"

Joshua walked over "I got us a plane. Where to?" he asked. I looked at Cade "Your pick" I said "Home. Texas" "You got it". The autobots got their ship back up and running, I had already given them coordinates for a place to lay low until they heard from me they took Wheelie with them and Brains.

Somehow Joshua got us into the plane and into the air. I think Su his security detail helped do most of the work. Shane and Tessa slept on the plane. Cade was busy writing a goodbye letter "You shouldn't write a letter, she will hate you for it" I said. Once we landed I called the one person who I knew wanted to see me.

It rang twice 

"Alexia?"  he asked 

"Hi Will". He took a pause 

"Where are you?"

"Well, I will be in a hospital in Austin Texas somewhere, I honestly have no idea" 

"I will see you soon, I'm leaving now!"

Will hung up "Alexia's in Texas, somewhere in Austin" "I'll call a chopper" Morshower said. He called someone and they were ready within 10 minutes and will had taken off.

I looked at Cade "Hospital first, then disappearing" I said and he nodded. They took us to a local hospital, we all had minor injuries. Cade got treated and went to look for Tessa. I pulled Shane to the side "Listen to me, Cade is going to leave" 

"What? Wa-" 

"Shut up and listen lucky charms. Cade is leaving, he can't stay or he will be put into prison. You're going to stay with Tessa and she's gonna graduate and go to a nice college. I'm going to be with you two. I won't let nothing happen to you too"

He nodded and when Cade came back he spoke with him briefly. Cade came over to me "I should get going. I called Bee he's going to be here soon". 

I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down an address "This is where you guys are gonna go, I have a trusted friend here and he owes me. I'll call ahead and let him know you're going"

He nodded "Thank you for everything". We heard a car horn "Go, tell Bee I said to take care of himself, the others and you" "I will". I gave him one last hug and he was on his way. I went back to Tessa's room she and Shane were talking.

I stayed with them. Later that night a nurse came in "Mrs. Lennox?" she asked "Yes?" I said "Your husband is here". I got up and followed her. And there he was William Lennox. His eyes met mine and we ran to each other. 

Both crying. I didn't want to let him go "I missed you" I said "You have no idea how much I missed you. I thought I was never going to see you again"

I let him go and looked a him "God, I missed this face" I said. He chuckled "Are you ready to go home?" 

"Where are the kids?" 

"Morshower's got them so most likely with your parents now" 

"Okay before we go there's something I need to get done first". I looked back at Tessa "I promised her dad I would look out for her"

After Tessa was discharged we sat her and Shane down and talked "This is William my husband, Colonel of the military. This is Tessa and Shane world savers" I said 

"It's nice to meet you both" Will said. Tessa and Shane waved "So we spoke to your school and you graduated here is your diploma and here are your college offers Princeton, Cornell or Columbia"

He mouth dropped "How did you?" she asked "I saved the world, I got a medal from the president and I work for the military also my brother went to Princeton...so I got contacts". 

She got up and hugged me "Thank you, thank you, thank you" she said. I hugged her back "I told your dad I would take of you two and technically Joshua is paying everything I'm just handing out options"

I handed her my card and Joshua's "Once you make up your mind call me. I will pick you up from the airport and I will do move in day with you. I am not missing any of this I made a promise with your dad and I will see this through also it's Joshua's money not mine" 

"I will thank you again. Am I ever going to see him again?" 

"Maybe one day but not anytime soon I'm sorry Tessa it's better this way"

I gave them a hug each. Joshua had paid for a hotel and a car for them till Tessa and Shane decided where they wanted to go. Will and I went to base where we caught a flight back home "Let's go get our kids" I said. He nodded "Let's go do that" 

On the flight home I called a very old friend 

"Hello?" 

"This is Alexia, how you been Sherman?" 

"Well it's been years since I've heard that voice of yours but, I know you call when you need favors. What is it this time?" 

"I got some friends heading your way, the normal kind and the alien kind too. They need a place to lay low" 

"I understand. I have just the place for them" 

"Thank you Sherman" 

"It's nothing Alexia"

Will looked at me "Who's Sherman?" he asked "It's a need to know". He nodded "Morshower texted me said your parents came and picked up the kids" he said "Well, that's gonna be a very fun explanation" "Actually Morshower and I came up with a cover story we got it handled and I assume that's what he told your parents"

Once we landed we were greeted by Morshower "You are a pain in my joints Alexia" he said and gave me a hug 

"I like to think I'm the one who keeps you here working long late nights because ripping your hair out isn't an option for you anymore" I said and started laughing "Yeah, I lost it all once you and Will joined. You two will be the death of me. Now go home to your kids"

We waved goodbye and drove to my parents house. I knocked on the door and it was my mom and I heard kids running "Mom! Dad!" they yelled. I kneeled down and they hugged me "We missed you" I kissed their heads "My babies". I was crying. I didn't want to let them go.

Will knelt down next to me "Hey kids" he said "Dad!" they said. I got up and hugged my parents "What happened to you?" my mom asked. She saw my cuts and bruises "I'm okay mom. Just work related" "Well I hope you weren't in China there was some alien robot autobot war that happened" my dad said

I shook my head "Oh trust me, I was very very far away from there" I said. I looked back at Will and my kids "Who's ready to go home?" I asked. The kids cheered "I'll start loading them up" Will said. I said goodbye to my parents and followed Will.

We got home and put the kids to bed. Will sat down on the couch next to me "So what happens next?" he asked "For now, we go back to being normal parents. Not a word about autobots or Cade nothing" 

"Yeah we don't do normal Lex" 

"I know so we try then" 

"So how are we gonna know they made it? You got your radio right?"

I sighed "We won't, I gave Cade my radio. It's gonna be no contact from here on out Will" He put his arm around me "I'm glad you made it back" he whispered "I always do" I said "I love you". I looked at him "I love you Will" I said and kissed him.

He smiled, "How about we make a third?" he asked. Before I could answer he threw me over his shoulder and ran to the room "Will, put me down" I said while laughing. 

He put me down "Let's never ever do solo missions ever" he said. I nodded in agreement "So...what were you saying about a third?" I asked. He laughed and closed the door.

Cade had met up with the autobots. They were headed to the coordinates Alexia had gave him, there was a trailer. Cade got off and there was a man sitting outside "Hello?" Cade called out. The guy pointed his rifle at him "Who are you?". Cade put his hands up "Woah. Alexia...Alexia sent me said we could trust you".

Sherman put his rifle down "I'm going to assume the nice cars behind you are your alien friends" he said. At that time the autobots transformed "Names Sherman nice to meet you" "Cade..Cade Yeager" 

"Well Cade I got the junkyard cleaned out for you guys" 

"Thank you" 

"Don't thank me, thank Alexia. Sounds like you two must be close, she doesn't give out my location to just anyone. Except these guys. Welcome back"

The autobots waved. The years that they were being hunted Alexia sent out a few of them to Sherman's junkyard to lay low. 

Cade nodded "I also left a RV for you" Sherman said "Thanks" Cade said. He sighed and they walked to the RV. He didn't know how long he was going to stay there for but he assumed for a while

There are mysteries to the universe we were never meant to solve. But who we are and why we are here are not among them. Those answers we carry inside. I am Optimus Prime and this message is to my creators: Leave planet Earth alone. 'Cause I'm coming for you.

A/N: The very last chapter of the 4th book. One more left for the Alexia Witwicky series. I will post more about when the book will come out later one. Thank you everyone for your support!
