Jazz straightened out his back, raising up his arms to stretch them out only to stop mid-way when a sharp pain stung his left leg. Jazz didn't have to look at it to know it would need to be fixed, for now though, he would walk it off.
The mech shifted his attention towards the sky. It had gotten late, very late by the looks of it. The moon stood amidst the sky, overseeing all.
Jazz felt like a sinner in a Baptist church.
Jazz quickened his pace abit, hoping to make it back to base in a timelier manner than last time. His thoughts drifted, amidst the quiet, back to his little meeting with soundwave. It was nice to finally see soundwave again, without the threat of having neck cables sliced or an Energon dagger stabbed in your back, even if it was for more... professional matters...
Jazz sighed, he wished he could just have more... friendly conversations with Soundwave, again...
Jazz sooner or later ended up at the base entrance door. He hesitated a bit before knocking, he was beginning to run out of excuses for coming back late, each night later than the last.
This time however, he didn't need to knock; Cliffjumper beat him to it by opening the door.
"Did ya bring back any milk Jazz?" Cliffjumper joked, his smile dimmed when he saw Jazz's facial expression.
Clearly something had happened.
Cliffjumper led Jazz to the main area, where everyone currently was. The room was brightly lit, a contrast to outside, with the tv in the background playing some monster-flick, Raf and Miko watching.
"Hiya Jazz" Miko waved a hand at Jazz, not really paying attention to him.
He wished the same could be said for Ratchet.
"Jazz? Get over here right now, what happened to your leg?!" Ratchet immediately noticed the trail of Energon leaking out from his leg, a remnant of one of Jazz's late nights. As the doc began to patch up his leg, a conversation began.
"Mind telling me about this one now?" Ratchet grunted.
"Cons. drones mostly..." Jazz vaguely answered back, if his mood wasn't an indicator his tone surely screamed rough night.
"Well, aren't you as chipper as ever." the doc commented sarcastically, Jazz sighed.
He needed to get it off his chest.
"I also saw Soundwave today." and just like that everyone's attention was on Jazz, he might as well have sent off a grenade inside the room at this point.
Ratchet waited for him to continue, still working on his leg. Jazz grit his teeth as Ratchet soldered it up.
"Good news is that he has Maxie". Raf could be heard getting up from the couch.
"Soundwave has Max? Raf said, panicked.
"Is he keeping her hostage?" Miko chimed in, abit more excitedly. Jazz silently sighed to himself as he glanced over at Miko, tilting his visor in a way so that his optics were just a little bit visible.
"Soundwave isn't a mob boss, Miko" Jazz sighed.
"Plus, he's the only one who knows Max is on the nemesis." Jazz grit his teeth again as Ratchet patched up his leg. "He's looking to help get Max out."
"Let me guess" Cliffjumper interjected, his tone shifted to a more serious approach. "The con wants to bargain with us?" Cliffjumper had practically spat out the word con, as if it was bitter medicine.
As much as Jazz didn't want to necessarily say that, especially about soundwave, Cliffjumper was right. Soundwave was using max as a bargaining chip.
"Yeah, he laid out his deal to me, or rather to all of us..." Ratchet glanced up at jazz finally, infact Jazz had everyone's attention now. good.
This was a matter that involved all of them.
"Soundwave wants us to go into hiding-" Jazz was cut off by Bulkhead, who banged a servo on a wall.
"That's absurd, of course the con wants us to go into hidin, what else did he want, us to surrender too?" Jazz groaned abit, he knew this wasn't going to go well with the team.
"Did he give you a reason at least?" Arcee questioned jazz.
"All he said was that Megatron was planning something, something bad. He's hoping that if we just laid low for a bit, that maybe whatever Megatron is planning won't happen."
"What in the Allspark could Megatron be planning that would be so bad it has Soundwave scared?" Ratchet asked, even he couldn't believe it. Jazz just shrugged.
"It sounds like Soundwave is just tricking all of us into surrendering!" Miko spoke matter-of-factly. Jazz shot her a quick glance, before making a sudden realization.
"Wait a second, what are you two still doing at base? Don't ya families to go back to?" Jazz moved his head to look directly at Miko and Raf.
"Miko's host parents are helping my mom with the search parties." Raf explained.
"Search parties? At this hour?"
"Yeah, don't you watch the news? They found a cane that belonged to one of the missing people, so they extended the search abit." Raf grabbed a remote.
"Here, they're doing coverage about it right now." flicking over to a news channel, raf turned up the volume so that Jazz could listen.
"Live news coverage of the Jasper area, where a cane belonging to Todd Ellieorths was found, five miles away from the interstate. Volunteers have been working long and extensively to locate their loved ones, so far, no other findings. I'm Reporter Julie Camber, LYNX News."
Images of the missing persons flashed up on screen, the last missing photo of Max made Jazz's spark drop slightly.
But it also made him curious in a sense. A little whisper in the back of his head.
A hunch...
A little thing telling Jazz that whatever the Decepticons were planning ran deeper than previously thought.
He didn't say it outloud however, he just needed to confirm it... somehow...
