Fell in love with a psychopath (2)✔️

Chapter 11. Secrets

I walked up to the car. It was quite early, but I was so excited and wanted to have a drive. I unlocked the door and hopped in, buckling up. The car itself was already shinny and smelled quite new but I wanted to clean it anyway and give it a little bit more affection. I drove off, hit the road before I ended up at the carwash. I washed it completely. Not a single spot stayed untouched.

Like I had noticed before, the car was warm and heated up the more I was working on but I blamed the sun. For a autumn day, it's quite warm honestly and this isn't black car. It absorbs heat. I moved the the rear of the car and opened the trunk but I wasn't prepared for what I found inside. I shrieked and jumped back. Inside, I found a bloody chainsaw. There's no way I am going to pick it up.

If I tell Lennox about it, I might lose this car but this is evidence. I closed the trunk and hopped in the car again, shutting the door. For some time, I stared at nothing but the carwash. I sighed and leaned back. Losing this car would really devastate me and I just got it. I grabbed my phone and dialed Sideswipe's number. "Hey, Sideswipe... are you busy?" I asked. "No, not really, just got back," he replied. "Okay... do you think you can meet me at the carwash?" I asked. There fell a silence.

"What's this about? What did you do?" He asked. "I didn't do anything, but I need you to come to me, can you manage to do that?" I asked. "Or you come to me," he said. "It's important... please." He sighed. "Alright, fine... give me 20 minutes," he said. I nodded, even he couldn't see it. Sideswipe isn't happy but did it anyway. "Alright, thank you, Sideswipe." He hummed and disconnected the call. Like he said 20 minutes later, he showed up and parked beside me. "What's so important?" He sighed and crossed his arms. I opened the trunk and pointed. "Look."

He stepped closer and looked at the chainsaw. "It's a bloody chainsaw..." he said and looked at me. "What am I supposed to do, Sideswipe? I just got this car and I can't lose it already." Sideswipe placed his hands on his hips. "Yeah, but you can't keep driving around with this chainsaw either. If the cops pull you over and look intonatie trunk they will think you killed someone."

"I know. That's my entire problem. This is evidence, but— why is this here? Why in this car?" I complained. "Alright, just calm down. "We can say we found the chainsaw elsewhere." I looked at Sideswipe again. "On the other hand, there might me DNA in this car—" he cut himself off and bit his lip. "You got an evil car."

"It's not the car its fault," I muttered and crossed my arms. "Let's go back to base, okay?" I nodded and closed the trunk before hopping in and following Sideswipe back to base. We decided to tell er found the chainsaw in the basement I completely cleaned up the trunk. To erase any traces of blood.

Sideswipe walked up to me again. "Alright. Prowl and Optimus are on it now. We don't expect to find much though. You cleaned the car?" I nodded and patted the roof of the car. "I did." Sideswipe gave a small nod and and walked around the car for a moment. "Well, I have more bad news I fear." I cocked my head to the side. "I am losing the car?" I asked. Sideswipe shook his head. "No, a soldier died last night. Jullian was his name."

"I knew him. He was here when and helped me carry a box— Why?" I was genuine worried and upset about it. "If we knew. Killer by a chainsaw. Although, they aren't sure if he was sawed in pieces or killed with it. Probably the same copycat," he said and sighed. "Sunstreaker never killed with a chainsaw before. Although, he watched horror movies to get inspiration but— I have never actually see him plan anything like this. He had other brutal ways."

"Perhaps hit Sunny was at the base for a very long time. He might have done it before. We don't know. Or this human assumed Sunstreaker would do something like this," Sideswipe replied and shrugged. "It's getting creepy, don't you think?" I asked. "Are you scared?" Sideswipe asked. "Little bit. Before I met Sunstreaker, I had to deal with a psychopath before. It seems like this kind of thing chases me. When Sunny was alive, I never had to worry about anything. He protected me in his own way and despite his aggressive behavior I trusted him blindly. I am just... worried because people hate me. There are only a few that still likes me. They keep telling me that now Sunstreaker is dead I don't have anyone to protect me anymore... they rather see me dead."

"Humans are cruel... but, they don't always mean what they say," Sideswipe said. "Oh, because they have been so nice to you? Remember what they did? How much they hurt you physically and mentally. Don't think I have no clue of what is going on, Sideswipe. I am not stupid. These humans are bullying you. I hate it." Sideswipe sat down on the hood of the Lamborghini. "What can we change about it?" He asked. I shrugged and seated beside him. "Let it go," he mumbled.

He reached for Sunny's knife I had in my belt. "You still have this to protect yourself with," he said. I snorted and took it from me. "Maybe Sunny was right... maybe I am nothing without him," I sighed. "Sunstreaker is a very smart mech. I am not saying this because he's my brother. He's sneaky, quick and dangerous but... he was wrong about that. You survived without him before. Sunstreaker just liked to make you believe that. It's all a trick. That's what Sunny does, tricking and manipulating other people."
