"And since you now know of our existence, I fear that as of last night the Decepticons know of yours." Optimus, Ioana safely assumed that he was the one that Arcee had been talking about, was no longer kneeling, so he had to lean a little.
"Got it, we spot any strange vehicles - call 911." Jack said in a more simpler - and dangerous in Ioana's opinion - and then he asked, "Can we go now?"
He got an angry look from Miko and Alexandra.
"Are you insane? I'm living a dream here in Botswana and I will not allow you or anyone else to shatter it!" Miko shouted at him. Alexandra nodded, showing that she agreed.
"It is best that you three remain under our watch." Optimus got their attention. "At least until we can determine our enemies' intentions."
The red and white mech at the consoles turned to him.
"Optimus." he sounded a little irritated. "With all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here as anywhere!"
"Children?!" came from Alexandra.
The mech continued unfazed.
"They have no protective shell! If they get underfoot they will go... squish!" and he even raised and let down his pede for demonstration.
Optimus put his servos on his hip-joints and looked at him.
"Then for the time being, Ratchet, we must watch where we step." his voice sounded a little... ironic?
Suddenly, a green light started flashing, and an alarm sounded. Everyone looked up, at the ceiling, from where the light was coming.
"What's that?" Tamara asked.
Bee turned towards them, and gave a few beeps.
" It's a Proximity Sensor. It means that someone's on the roof. "
Raf looked at the others, and spoke before Ioana could explain.
"Proximity Sensor. Someone's up top." he pointed to the ceiling.
Ioana and the others looked at him, and Raf looked at Ioana. She gave him a big, pleased and proud looking nod and Raf felt that he somehow gained the respect of the girl. Ioana, though, looked once more at the boy, and felt a urge of protectiveness shot through her heart. She would take care of the small, child-like boy.
Ratchet went to one of the computers and spoke.
"It's Agent Fowler." the screen showed a dark-skinned man get out of a military helicopter.
