Ch. 39 Another Chance to Kill You

Jamie's P.O.V.
Waking up on a cold metal table, I remember the day Jadin attacked the junkyard. No way she'd do it again, even if she thought of ways to improve a previously failed plan.
"Oh no, I'm not going to be doing that again," she says evilly, "I'm going to add poison to the mix," she stands right by the table, staring down at me, "we could fight like before, and I'd have an advantage since that idiot of a spy brought you along with an injured wrist, but I want them to suffer as well."
She wheels over a cart with the chemical, some other liquid, syringes, and needles.
"A nice mix of the chemical and poison, but I've managed to get the mix just right, so it's deadly, but slowly going to kill you; a slow and painful death."
I'm restrained and unable to bend or use any powers; she has chains around me in a way that makes it hard to move. 
Jadin mixes the two liquids together in a good-sized bowl. How much does she plan on injecting? How the hell is this going to be slow and painful with that amount?

"I know somebot will be doing a rescue mission. Might as well wait for them," Jadin says as she throws me into a cell.
This is slow; it takes ten minutes before I feel the sensation as if I've sat on my legs too long, but I feel it all over my body, making this hard to ignore. I can't concentrate on using my powers. I doubt this is slow, as in taking days to kill me.

Sunstreaker's P.O.V.
Mirage ended up in stasis lock and couldn't give me any information. Though I doubt he knows where that glitch took Jamie. I don't know what to look for. I hope Jadin will find me and take me wherever Jamie is.
I get a message from a human claiming to know where Jamie is. I have to take my chances.

Jamie's P.O.V.
After twenty minutes of this pain, I now see what Jadin means by slow.
"What do you want, Steve?"
"I can't do this," he replies and opens the cell door, "I'm sorry, I don't know if she has a cure. Get out of here, and don't look back."
He helps me up, which hurts, and I can't run. I'm screwed if moving makes this work faster. He gives me a map before I walk away. Hearing a gunshot as I walk down the hall. K

It takes a half-hour to get out of Jadin's hideout. The pain has gotten worse, but I have to keep going. I don't know how far I got in a half-hour before I can't walk anymore. I don't think Jadin got it right; it's not a slow-acting mix. Even if it is and pain happens from the start, nobot is coming.

Sunstreaker's P.O.V.
I'm close to the coordinates I was given when I spot a human. This is no place for a human to enjoy the outdoors. I park on the side of the road and rush to them.
"Jamie?"
She screams as I touch her.
"I'm not going to hurt you."
I listen for a few seconds before realizing this is crying from pain, not fear.
"Don't touch me," she sobs.
"You know, I was thinking I should let you go," Jadin smiles, "let me just..."
A high-pitched sound plays from the device in her hand.
"Go ahead, call for help. You'll see why you're unofficially part of my crew, Sunstreaker."
Jadin flies off to her hideout.
She fragging damaged my comlink and both mine and Jamie's cell phones.
Was her plan for me to watch Jamie die on the way back to the base and be blamed for it?
"I have to get you into my alt mode," I tell Jamie.
"No, get help," she begs.
There's no time to argue; I hate how Jamie screamed before crying. 
How bad is this pain?
It's a damn six-hour drive back to the base. This will help her...
"I'm sorry," I apologize as if Jamie can hear me and smash her head against the dashboard. She's knocked out and not in pain. Aside from the cuts she got from the bomb going off, I don't see anything obvious that would cause so much pain. Her clothes aren't soaked in blood anywhere, "I'll get you back to the base, and Ratchet can help you, I promise."
I drive as fast as possible without getting pulled over while holding Jamie's hand.

I don't know much about human bodies, but I feel Jamie's heart rate and breathing slowing down while holding her wrist.
"Frag it; let a police chase happen. Lennox can explain."
I still have to drive carefully, but I'm not following the speed limit.

I'm able to cut an hour of driving. Forget sneaking into the medbay. I transform, rushing towards the medbay with Jamie in my servo. 

"Ratchet!" I yell as I rush in. Neither Jolt nor Ratchet can believe I brought Jamie unconscious, "something is causing excruciating pain," I explain, "I-I smashed her head on the dashboard. I swear it was to help her," I explain as Ratchet takes Jamie to a room. I'm not allowed in, but I can watch Ratchet. 
What did that glitch do to you? I'm not looking forward to finding out or telling your guardians.
