"The Autobots have responded, Lord Megatron." Knockout says, turning to his leader. "They've chosen a location in the middle of a wooded area."

He pointed out the coordinates on a map to Megatron, which made him smirk. "Respond," he commanded, "we accept the location. She is to bring Deadlock, herself, and one backup. No exceptions. One hour."

Knockout nodded and started typing away as Megatron left the room and headed for the holding cells, arriving at the first one. He unlocked it and stepped in, only getting Optimus' attention, and nothing more.

"You're a very lucky Bot, Optimus." Megatron said with a quiet tone. "That child of yours agreed to hand over one of mine for you. She's very brave."

"You already knew that, Megatron." Optimus said, narrowing his optics a little.

"I know." Megatron leaned back against the wall a little. "It doesn't matter how hard you try, she just doesn't give up."

"Have you came here to tell me about my own child or is there another reason?" Optimus wasn't too slow to pick up the suspicion Megatron was trying to give off.

"Neither." He walked out of the cell and locked it. He started to walk to the control room.

"Enjoy your final hour here." He said over his shoulder.
