The police came a few hours later and confirmed that it actually was spilled Energon the threat had been written in.

Ratchet and Optimus Prime showed up a few minutes later to make sure that Starscream and Knock Out were ok.

"Don't worry we're fine but I'm afraid of what Night Rain might try next." Starscream said after telling them what happened.

"Before I got the call about what happened I was about to call to tell you that I got word that she had broken out." Ratchet explained. "I'm glad your both alright."

Then Starscream and Knock Out started talking to Prowl telling him all the details of what happened.

When they went to tell Optimus and Ratchet who had stepped outside when they overheard them talking.

"I'm thinking of retiring as a medic and trying to decide who to leave in charge of the hospital when I do." Ratchet told Optimus.

"I'm sure whoever you choose will do a great job old friend." Optimus said to his friend.

"I'm thinking of having Knock Out take my place." Ratchet explained.

Starscream noticed Knock Out looked nervous at hearing that.

Then the two walked back inside before Optimus or Ratchet saw them.

"Knock Out Ratchet is thinking about leaving you in charge of the hospital why do you look so nervus?" Starscream asked his best friend.

"I don't know if I can handle that kind of responsibility so far my only experience is being the Decepticon medic during the war and working there as a medic I don't know if I can be in charge what if I screw up?" Knock Out told the seeker.

"You won't Knock Out your probably the best doctor I know I would have offlined a long time ago if not for you and Ratchet." Starscream reassured him.

"Thanks Screamer." Knock Out thanked him.

Then they went outside and spoke with Ratchet and Optimus about their conversation with Prowl.

But Ratchet and Optimus didn't bring up Ratchet's plan to retire, But did recommend Starscream stay at a hotel until Night Rain was in custody again fearing his home wouldn't be safe, And Starscream agreed not wanting Night Rain to decide to ambush him in his sleep or something.

That night Starscream check into a hotel and made it through the night without any problems other than nightmares.

The next day was the day of the seedia 500 and Starscream went to Velocitron through the space bridge and met Knock Out and Ratchet along with the other Autobots, Megatron and some vehicons who decided to attend the event.

And everyone was having a great time attending all the games and events going on before the race.

Then when the race was about to start Starscream wished Knock Out good luck before going and taking a seat in the stands to watch the race.

Then saw a mech with spikes attached to his frame bump into Knock Out as they were approaching the starting line to transform into their alt mode.

"Hey careful with those spikes." Knock Out told the other bot who just shoved by him without so much as apologizing.

"Rude." Knock Out grumbled to himself well rubbing his shoulder where he thought one of the spikes jabbed him, but it felt more annoying then painful so wouldn't interfere with his racing.

Then the race began and Knock Out was in the lead for the first few laps until he suddenly started driving oddly like he was losing control, Starscream and Ratchet who was sitting next to the seeker could both tell something was wrong.
