Find Me (You Saved Me Series Book 3)

Taken

"Bring her to me." His voice low and menacing. 

His violet optics have a gleam of excitement and vengeance. He watches Soundwave walk over; the girl struggling to be released. A guttural laugh slips past his lips, amused by her attempts to free herself. Her suit confiscated from her before they even reached the bridge.

"Welcome back to the Nemisis, my dear." He welcomes, holding out his servo. Soundwave wastes no time setting her in his master's hand. 

"You sure give a warm welcome." She spats, standing up and brushing herself off.

*With the Autobots*

"YOU LET SOUNDWAVE TAKE HER!" Dreadwing's roar echoes throughout the Autobot base. 

"I didn't mean to. There were so many cons. They overtook us," Hot Rod attempts to explain. 

"Why did you even take her in the first place?" Dreadwing growls, grabbing Hot Rod by his chest plate.

"We were scouting for energon. We didn't think it was a trap. Until the cons started showing up. I had no idea Soundwave was even there. We couldn't comm you guys either." Hot Rod's servos grab ahold of Dreadwings, trying to get him to let go. 

As Dreadwing goes to yell some more, he is interrupted. "Dreadwing. Put Hot Rod down." Optimus orders. 

Dreadwing slowly puts Hot Rod on the ground. As he lets go of him, Hot Rod falls to his knees, clutching his chest. The angered Dreadwing turns to Prime, giving him a nasty look. Optimus is unfazed, not giving into Dreadwings glare. 

"We will find her. Right now, we have a bigger problem at hand." Optimus speaks. 

"You think the keys are more important than Shelby!" Dreadwing scorns. 

"No, but we know they will most likely be in the same place as Shelby. Starscream took them and I have no doubt he will go back to Megatron to try and win him over." Optimus tries to reason. 

"And we still have one key." Arcee chimes in. 

"Megatron will want Starscream to retrieve it. It will most likely help Starscream to become first lieutenant again." Ratchet adds. 

"We could set a trap." Smokescreen suggests cheerfully. 

"But Starscream wouldn't have the other keys. We need to find a way onto the Nemisis." Arcee brings her digits up to her chin, thinking hard.  

"You better hope she is not harmed." Dreadwing turns to Hot Rod and scowls. 

*With the Decepticons*

"Take her to the dungeon. Make sure she is comfortable." Megatron sneers, handing her over to a vehicon.

The con holds Shelby tightly, she struggles to breath. They walk out of the bridge and down a long corridor. They pass by the medical bay. The door happens to be open and Knockout turns and look in that moment. As the con continue to walk, Knockout rushes to the entrance and stares after them, not believing his eyes. Shelby doesn't notice, her eyes are shut, trying to feel her hands that are clamped down to her sides. 

Knockout slowly and steadily follows behind the vehicon. Already having a hint of where it is taking Shelby. Once down the ship and to the dungeon, the con passes through the heavy metal doors and is inside. Knockout stays on the other side, waiting for the con to reemerge. As the door open inappropriate language can be heard coming through. It makes Knockout chuckle a little bit. Once the Vehicon is a way away, Knockout sneaks in.
