No P.O.V

   Miko, Jack, and the rest of Team Prime sprinted towards the Video Game Store at the opposite end of the mall.

   Bulkhead and Smokescreen paused, promising to return promptly. It likely relates to the bags that Jack gave them. But no worries, once everyone is okay everything will work out fine.

No P.O.V [Rafael Team]

   Ratchet reassured Rafael, "Take it easy, you really got a fright," as he examined the young boy carefully to ensure he was not hurt. The sole injury he sustained was a bump from when he and Bee fell to the floor, not overly concerning.

   "I came so close to death..." Rafael's voice was quiet and filled with dread as he said it. Ratchet understood, he also felt fear when he witnessed the shooter aiming at the boy. He was happy that Bumblebee managed to shove the boy aside without harming anyone. The TV that used to work was now silent after the gunshot. The screen had fractures and shards of glass covered the area.

   Rafael broke the silence with small sobs, Bumblebee embraced him and rubbed small circles on his back. Ratchet was taken aback by the sudden transformation of the boy. Are human emotions truly distinct from Cybertronian emotions, or is there resemblance?

   "You're all okay! " Ratchet heard a female voice and turned to see a group of people who were out of breath. Miko was in a panic until she spotted Rafael, at which point she became calm.

   "Optimus, we need to leave." "This place is not safe if that insane person is still around," Ratchet warned as he looked at Optimus and then at the boy who had stopped crying. Optimus agreed; they had obtained their goal, but it was spoiled by the insane madman.

  Optimus whispered, "Time to head back to our place." It was difficult to be a human; controlling his emotions was a challenge.
