Sunstreaker's Charge ✔️

Ch. 38 Revenge

Sunstreaker's P.O.V.
Lily is having a rough morning. She cannot handle visitors. Crosshairs, Drift, and Ratchet will not make me stay away from my femme until she's recovered. I look in the room, seeing Drift try to help Lily get comfortable. There's a full IV bag hanging on the pole, and I suspect she just woke up and has a terrible headache. Her head is covered by pillows.
After talking to Ratchet, worried something else is going on, I head out for my patrol.

I have a mission to keep me busy. That fleshie who hurt Lily must pay. The others who joined in shall also pay, but I'm going after the one who injured her. They're fragging lucky she didn't have a serious brain bleed or anything that would have left her permanently disabled. I'm hoping to find the kid who did most of the attack. The kid we are certain was supposed to be at the high school. With all the traffic, there's no way this kid would have been able to meet up with the other three and attack Lily when the attack happened. He walked to the elementary school. Hopefully, this is his daily routine, and I can easily get him without the adults at the school noticing. Once the slow surveillance portion is complete, I can plan my attack.

I start another painting to keep busy until I need to return to surveillance. I don't want to finish the one Lily and I have been working on, even if it's almost finished. 
I work for three hours before getting a text from Drift telling me Lily is feeling well enough for me to see her, and while she's been dealing with a headache, she's been asking for me. I know Drift hates explaining how it's best if visitors are limited.

Lily can tolerate sitting up and drinking what Drift explains is a nutrition drink, unlike what we'd find at the grocery store. For now, it's the best we can do for Lily's eating, and she doesn't last long before needing to lie down.
"You'll feel better," I assure her as I hug her.
"You're looking for that teen, aren't you?" She whispers. Scrap, I didn't think she knew my history, but how else would she know I was looking for that teen? No way Crosshairs, Drift, or the medics told her, "maybe it's best if he's dead. Who knows if he's looking to hurt anyone else?"
I don't know what to think about what she said. I'm keeping this to myself.
"I'll deal with him. You need to rest."
Lily has had enough sitting up. I lay her down, cover her with the blanket, and kiss her.

I thought I'd only be spying on that teen today, but there's a way to deal with him alone as I watch him walk down the street after the three other kids get on the school bus. I was wrong; this teen drives to the elementary school from the high school but parks a block away. I follow him into the alleyway. He's meeting three other teens. Glad Mirage taught me some spy tactics.
".... we'll meet here at midnight," one teen boy says, "and the shops on this street won't know what hit them."
They're planning to rob the shops, at least on this street. Well, I'll be doing the city a favor tonight. I have time to plan and get some supplies. I have to wait until everyone is out of the medbay to get a few things I need.

I return to the medbay and sit by Lily's bed.

Lily slept for a couple of hours. She's happy I'm in the room.
"Art?" She asks.
"Ratchet doesn't want you doing anything that requires thinking. Even if it's simply picking colors. I have an idea," I get my sketchbook and pencils from my subspace, "you watch me draw."
I can tell Lily will be asleep soon, and she seems unable to stay awake for long. Hopefully, this will be brief.
I continue the sketch even after Lily falls asleep until I'm certain the medics, Crosshairs and Drift are in the cafeteria. Now I can get what I need from the medbay and the supply room and keep this stuff in my subspace. After they rob a store is better, it'll look like someone took care of thieves rather than it looking like four teens were randomly murdered.

I return to the medbay after dinner. Lily has me continue the sketch until Ratchet decides visiting hours are over. It's eight at night. I go to my art room, hoping to avoid Sideswipe figuring out what I'm up to. Once he's asleep, I'm blocking my side of the bond.

I dress completely in black and cover every inch of my body aside from my eyes. I will not scan a new color for my Lamborghini. Three of the teens will be dead before they see my alt mode, and the fourth will never report my car.

I catch Drift heading towards the medbay, probably to check on Lily. I hope he's not staying up all night. Even if we don't need to sleep for a week. Even if he and Crosshairs plan on taking turns staying up all night. I'd rather they don't do that. Just make sure her pain medication is refilled before her pain gets too bad.

I watch the teens disarm the security at the first store, questioning if they live in the city. It seems like they've been robbing stores for a while now, yet a string of robberies hasn't been reported.
I wait in the alleyway for the teens.

"Excellent, that went better than I thought," one teen comments as the four walk down the alleyway. I threw a brick, breaking the nearest glass window, "Who's there?!"
My main target watches his three friends get shot and go down. All three killed instantly.
"Run," I taunt.
"Fight me!" He yells.
I do as he asks, allowing him to fight me a little before I grab him and cover his mouth.
"You hurt a little girl and must pay! I can snap your neck right here, but—," I inject the seductive, "— I want you to suffer first."
Moving quickly, I duct tape his mouth and handcuff his hands. I drag him to my alt mode, but I let him enjoy the ride with me in the passenger seat rather than the trunk. I have nowhere in particular in mind to finish the job, but I will not drive far.

Ten miles out of the city is far enough. Once in the woods, I drag the fleshie out of the car and throw him on the ground.
"Fuck off!" He yells once I remove the duct tape.
"You want me to leave you here while you can't move? Fine, but first, let me hurt you worse than you hurt Lily Jones. I want to hear you scream!"
I love torturing and making humans bleed, but this will be quick. First, I drive over his legs. The way his legs look, I believe I crushed his bones. I step on his abdomen to get a tool from my trunk.
"Now, to smash your skull."
"No, please don't!"
Just enough to knock him out and cause bleeding both internally and externally. He'll be alive for a few hours. Perhaps another fleshie will find him, but I don't think he can be saved.
"That's what you get for hurting a little girl and my girlfriend!"
