Transformers Revenge of The Fallen: Descendant's Fortune

Chapter 20.

"Ok, so my contacts say there's this particular Gulf that used to be called the 'Dagger's Tip'. An uninhabited land somewhere here in Egypt." Simmons informed us. "So that's where we need to go."
"Right." Sam said as they checked the G.P.S for the location's coordinates. "First thing we need to do is get Optimus to the Dagger's Tip."
"How are we going to get him halfway across the Earth?" Leo asked.
I watched and listened to them with full interest of the conversation, from the backseat. Good point. Bring him here? I suppose so. How though? We didn't travel here by plane, but a 'Space Bridge' according to Jetfire, and we can't go back the same way without him. Someone would have to bring Optimus here...
My brain clicked.
The Autobots! They could help and I can see them again! I can...
"Help." The word fell out.
"Huh? Kia, did you say something?" Sam turned to me, "Help? Help with what?"
"Help. I can help." I said, more urgently, sitting up straight and patting my chest hard to get their attention, "Help! Me! I can help!"
"Easy, calm down." Sam said in the same manner. "I'll let you help, ok? How can you help?"
"We need to make a call." I said, eyes widening. "We need to call home."

*****

The idea sounded crazy and I felt crazy to say it. To call the humans back home at the base. However, it was our only option. That I can get in contact with Major Lennox, who Sam surprisingly knew as well. My stomach turned at the thought, but it had to be done. Unfortunately, Bee started to swerve hard onto a different road as the country's police force decided to sound sirens and pursue after us randomly into the nearby town up ahead.

Guys, we need to get out of here!" I shouted as I watched out the back window.

The flashing lights were blinding behind the two twins, who were driving between them and us.
"Working on it, kid!" Simmons answered.
We sped up farther into the nearby city and went off road, just enough for all of us to climb out of the vehicle and hide behind building structures. The Autobots rapidly transformed and climbed between the buildings to hide, as well. While the group in the small courtyard below, I was sat upon the top of Bee's shoulder as he held onto Skids by his foot, my green cousin dangling upside-down, along with Mudflap and the others and we waited for the coast to be clear.
"Man, stupid cops!" Mudflap aggressively whispered, gripping the building beside us.
"Psst! Kia, this is what's called blending in like a ninja." I heard Skids said facing upwards at me, swaying back and forth. "Silent, but deadly."
I gave him a smile out of amusement, but I dared not to laugh. Leave it to the twins to keep me entertained, even in a dangerous situation. Their comedic timing makes up for the lack of advanced intelligence. I love them so much.
"Stop messing with Little K and shut the hell up, or I'll blend my fist in your face." Mudflap threatened his brother.
"Boys." I whispered and pressed a finger to my lips to shush them. They both looked at me, shutting up, and we continued waiting.

"They're gone." Mikaela said from below and grouped together with the men.
I took the cue to slide off of Bee and made my way down to Skids, using them both as a ladder. Skids leaned upwards to grab me and hung back upside down to help out. I could see that Sam waited below, supposedly in case I'd fall, but I mustered up enough momentum to swing from Skids's hand and land on the ground without hurting myself. Good thing I was feeling better to do so.
"Impressive." Sam praised raising his eyebrows and crossing his arms.
"Thanks, but you'll probably see more of that if you're lucky. Granted, I'm not your little circus monkey, I'm your guardian." I said sourly, dusting off my clothes and I avoided Sam's obvious smile in my peripheral along the way to the others.
"I believe it. Ok, guys, we're running out of time. I have to make a call to Lennox." Sam started to say, but Simmons stopped him.
"No dice. You're now on the planet's biggest wanted list. Try calling anywhere and they'll track you in seconds."
They stared at each other for a few good seconds and Sam finally opened his mouth again, "Then, Kia will make the call."
"What?" My eyes went wide.
"You, Kia. No one's looking for you. You know Lennox more than I do, if he knows it's you I'm sure he'll realize we need help." Sam crouched to my level, "You said you can help. Help us help you."
I stared at him for a good minute this time and gave in with a sigh, "I have an idea."

"Hello? Who is this? State your purpose." The Major's voice demanded over the payphone's speaker.
"Mr. Lennox?" I squeaked. "It's me. I'm ok. I'm with the other kids."
"K?!" Lennox asked in surprise, his voice cracked and I knew he was trying to compose himself.
Was glad that Lennox knew not to use my name as soon as he recognized my voice. I'm pretty sure the Autobots told him I was with Sam. This phone call was risky enough without revealing too much information to track. I was going by everything we shortly practiced prior to the call.
"Oh thank god, you're alright! Where are you?! I've been worried sick!" He did sound worried, but I ignored his emotions.
"Don't you remember? I'm on that training field trip. Listen, I need you to come pick me up in your truck, you know, the big truck? I told everyone how cool it was and they all want to see it. Anyways, the training went really well and we finished early. Really was educational if I say so myself. Today was especially eventful, we learned about King Tut and we had fun theorizing possible mummy resurrections after classes."
"K, what are you...?"
"Yeah, King Tut and resurrections. Pretty funny if you ask me. Don't forget to do your routined airdrop at coordinates for twenty-nine point five north, thirty-four point eighty-eight east. You're going to need the truck to be there as well because you'll have to drive at some point to pick me up. I said I wouldn't be far from there." I said reading the paper Simmons gave me to give the coordinate information, accurately and quickly.
"Wait! Please, don't hang up!" Lennox nearly pleaded.
"Sorry, I have to go now, everyone's calling me to come back. Just don't forget, write it down if you have to. Ok, I'll see you later, bye!" I hung up the payphone and turned to the others.
"You're one cold kid." Leo said. "Speaking to your father like that."
My face grimaced at the cowardly college boy, "Major Lennox is not my father. Say that again and I'll rip your tongue out."
He gulped anxiously as I stared him down, police sirens sounded off in the distant streets again.
"Ok, enough. We need to go. Move!" Simmons ordered.
With that we scrambled back to Bumblebee and the others.

We escaped the town and the cops and soon reached a boarder checkpoint and everybody grew nervous when we were halted by government border security. The leader there marched slowly over to the vehicle with a nasty threatening look, tracing his hands across Bee's paint job in a menacing manner. I grew agitated in the backseat with Wheels discreetly in my arms. Don't touch Bee. I swear, I'll rip your miserable human hands off. I let go of Wheels to hide him by my feet under the seating, away from sight.
When the man reached the front passenger window, Simmons and the guard started talking about something in another language and then english.
"We want to go to Jordan, at the Dagger's Tip. Just me and my family. This is my son, my other son, and my two daughters." Simmons said.
Daughter. Fuck, I know it's a ruse, but he could've said anything else.
"We're tourists from New York." Simmons finished.
"New York!" The man said excitedly that I nearly jumped in my seat and almost reflexively grabbed IronLuck. What good would that do with the men outside with guns? A cold shiver of metal touched one of my legs and I looked down.
Wheels must've felt compelled to touch my knee and shook his head, like he knew my intentions. I quietly sucked in some air and found another way to calm down, thinking about our mission to save Optimus. My seatbelt tightened a bit too, as if Bee was helping me as well and I relaxed completely and closed my eyes.
"Go, please, enjoy!" The guard said happily, a giant smile plastered on his face, signaling his men to open the gates.
"Thank you!" Simmons shouted and Bee continued to drive.

Almost there. Optimus, I'm coming. Just hang tight.
