Sing me to sleep - terror twins -

+ Chapter 13. This is your last and only warning!

'Mirage?'

The spy looked up. 'Prime...' he got up and smoothed his shirt down. 'Have you found anything?' I asked. 'I am sorry, Prime. Sunstreaker hasn't called anyone over the last five days, nor left his house. Only twice,' he said. I sighed, 'what on earth is up too,' I muttered. 'I don't know,' he muttered. 'Any online transactions?' I asked. He nodded, 'yeah, a few... and he got himself a new phone last week as well,' he said. I looked at the computer screen as he pointed at the list of bank transactions. 'He started buying quite a lot... Do you know what he bought?' I asked. 'Just clothing. Sunstreaker is not stupid, Prime. I think he knows we are keeping a close eye on him and you know how good he is at keeping secrets. If he doesn't want anyone to figure it out, then no one will figure it out either,' he stated. I hummed and stared at the screen, 'block his credit card.'

Mirage raised a brow. 'Why would I do that? He's not buying anything illegal,' he snorted. 'I want to know what will happen. Perhaps we can lure him out of his shell a little bit,' I said. Mirage gave a small nod and sat back down. 'Do you think it will work?' he asked. 'I don't know... we will find out. The fact is, if he's hiding someone, somewhere, a human then the human needs to be fed. He doesn't need human food. If he starts to complain, he can prove my theory is right,' I said. 'Why do you want to know this so badly? It doesn't matter, right? I mean, I don't tell who my sources are either because they don't like it if I say their name. It can bring them in danger,' Mirage stated. 'Yes, but you are my spy and he's my front liner. There's a difference between that and beside... he's a psychopath and you aren't.'

Mirage gave a small nod. 'Alright, I have blocked his bank account. No transactions can be made over the next fourteen days,' he said. I nodded, 'good, thank you Mirage,' I said and walked off. 'And?' I shook my head as Prowl caught up with me. 'Nothing so far. I have ordered Mirage to block his bank account. Let's see what will happen,' I said. 'Because...?' Prowl asked. 'He made some interesting transactions lately. A new phone, over a hundred dollars for food. Honestly, how much food does he need on his own?' I asked. 'You think he has someone at home?' he asked. 'I will ask Ironhide to pass by Thursday and see what he can find this time,' I said.

((Skyla's P.O.V))
Sunstreaker growled. 'The idiots blocked my bank account,' I scowled. I raised a brow. 'They are suspicious...' he added. Sunstreaker sat down on the couch. 'It doesn't matter... I have another bank account. Under my brother's name,' he said. I cocked my head to the side. 'A few weeks ago, I got a message from my brother. He was missing for a very long time but in the message he said that he's okay and coming to earth this year,' he said. A smile pulled up on my lips. 'I am happy for you,' I signed. 'Me too... I have been making some preparations and that's why I have temporarily another bank account,' he explained. 'They don't know about it... it's still working,' he said and smirked a little. 'But it does suck. I am not stupid, Skyla. I know exactly what they are up to,' I muttered.

'Anyway, I feel like Ironhide can burst at any moment so if that happens I want you to hide, alright?' he asked. I nodded and got up, looking around. 'He assumes I will hide someone upstairs or in the basement so I want you to hide here in the living room,' he said and pointed at the couch. You are slim enough to crawl underneath it. Go to the corner, he won't be able to see you if you hide there and don't make any noises.' he said. I nodded again. 'I will keep the blinds closed in the kitchen and the other windows close to the road. Make sure, he won't be able to see anything suspicious in your room either.' The mech sat back down on the couch while I headed upstairs and made sure no one would be able to see anything if they would enter this room. Sunstreaker is making a bigger problem out of it than it actually is, but I don't want to argue or upset him.

The next few days were quiet. Nothing special or strange happened but Sunstreaker was really tense and moody, I just tried to leave him alone. I had cooked dinner for us both as well and it was quiet. He wasn't talkative. He perked his head up. 'Get under the couch,' he ordered and pushed my plate and cutlery in my hands. I crawled under the dusty couch, with my food.

((Sunstreaker's P.O.V))
'Gosh I hate you... you know that?' I scowled. He shrugged. 'Just hurry up with searching so I can continue eating,'  I snapped and dragged him inside. Ironhide looked around the living room but seemed more interested in the stairs. I followed him upstairs. 'U like my new painting?' I pointed at the painting. He snorted, 'that's not why I am here,' he snapped and slammed the door shut. He looked through some rooms until he pushed open the door of Skyla's room. Just like I requested, clean and it looked like no one would sleep in here. Ironhide looked around the room and stepped inside. If he opens the closet, he will find female clothes. That was the only thing that concerned me right now. 'You are prick, Ironhide. For blocking my debit card. I need new pencils but it doesn't matter though...' he glanced at me. 'No? Sound like you do,' he mocked. 'Nah, I was prepared for actions like this... do you know I have contacted my twin?'

He turned fully towards me. 'Sideswipe...' he said. I snorted, 'now I got you attention, huh?' I mocked and walked off. Ironhide marched after me, just like I wanted. 'Sunstreaker, where is he?' he snapped. 'He will arrive on earth this year... he didn't give me an exact date but don't worry, I have already told him about everything. Last thing I want is for you guys to tell him fake information. just for the record, Sideswipe is on my side. He's my brother... my twin brother for primus sake. If you try anything... to get him on your side or tell him lies... I am going to do something you will never regret. If you touch him... no matter how, I am going to hurt the humans in the worst possible way and I start with Lennox.' He narrowed his eyes on me. 'You are on thin ice, Sunstreaker.'

I snorted, 'he's my brother... I won't let anyone ruin him. I love him too much for that. I know you protect Lennox and his family. This is only a warning,' I snapped. 'It's blackmail,' he snapped back. 'You know... I am going to give Lennox a slow painful death but first, he can watch you die and his family. Or do you really think I have never considered killing you?' I asked. 'You wouldn't kill me... we are on the same team,' he snapped and walked into the living room. 'Ironhide... I am a serial killer. I don't care which team you belong to. I have done it before... I have killed several Autobots before. Ultra Magnus was one of them.' Ironhide turned around. 'Did you really think he just disappeared?' I asked, approaching him. Ironhide narrowed his eyes at me.

'I lured him away from the group... I told him I needed him, that I was in distress. He had a very slow... painful death and you know why?' I asked, slamming him against the wall and pressed my knife against his throat. 'Because he treated my brother like trash. I have killed more Autobots on my team... because they are all dirty liars. You are no exception. Keep that in mind next time you decide to open your damn mouth,' I snarled. Ironhide shivered as I pushed him on the floor. 'You are truly sick, Sunstreaker,' he snapped. I crouched down, 'no... I just fight for whatever I want to fight. As long as I have benefits. Your time is running out... when my brother is here on earth, I don't really have to stay here anymore,' I whispered.

Ironhide hoisted himself up. 'You are a monster,' he spat. 'I know... I am people's worst nightmare... if they are on my bad side. I don't like arguing, Ironhide. I am really losing my patience. Keep in mind what I told you. It's your last and only warning I am giving you,' I snapped and turned around, sitting back down and started eating like nothing had happened. Ironhide stared at me for several moments. 'If you are done searching, you know where to find the door,' I added without looking. He snorted and turned around, leaving. I got up and walked over to the window, watching him disappear.

I turned my head when I heard Skyla. 'Goodgirl, I don't think he will return any time soon, dear,' I said, sitting back down at the table. 'Were you telling the truth? About killing members of your own team?' she signed with hesitation. I snorted, 'I was... I don't bluff. Now, sit down and eat your food,' I ordered.
