Transformers Prime: Agent Adelaide Parks

Chapter 9

The alarms blared throughout the base and Bulkheasd walked over to the main monitor.

"It's an SOS," the bot spoke in shock. "From Fowler."

He looked at the monitor in confusion, not knowing what buttons he needed to hit.

The alarm stopped and Raf walked towards Bulkhead. "Did you trace it?"

"Location scan incomplete. Oh well," Bulkhead said with a shrug.

"Oh well? Seriously?" Jack scoffed.

"Fowler's a jerk!" Bulkhead defended.

"But Adelaide was with him!" Raf reminded and Bulkhead's eyes went wide. "And they know your location. Our location."

"And did we not just witness how fast Fowler backs down from a bot? Adelaide is a badass, but Fowler? The Con's will totally make him squeal!" Miko added.

"But we lost the transmission. They could be anywhere," Bulkhead panicked as he looked at the three humans.

"Maybe I can narrow it down," Rafael spoke as he pulled out his laptop. "About five years ago, the government started microchipping their agents- you know, like owners do with pets. I saw it on TV. If I can hack into the fed's mainframe, maybe I can pinpoint Fowler's location."

"You know how to hack? But you're like two years old," Miko spoke as she watched the younger boy carefully.

"Twelve," Raf corrected as he pushed up his glasses with a smug smile. "And a quarter."

Adelaide struggled in the Vehicon's grip as she tried to wriggle free.

Fowler was thrown down in front of a Cybertronian who stood with his back turned to them, his hands crossed behind his back.

Addie stopped for a moment as she looked at the Decepticon. She had pictured Megatron being bigger, scarier even. That's when it hit her.

"Starscream," she gasped befre she could even think to keep quiet.

"Welcome, Agent Fowler," Starscream spoke smoothly as he turned to look at the two humans. "And you, Agent Parks."

"You treat all your guests this nice?" Fowler mocked as he wiped off his jacket.

"Any friend of the Autobots."

"Autobot? That one of those coin operated wash my own car places?" Fowler smirked up at Starscream.

"Oh, so that's how it's going to be, hmm?" Starscream grimaced. "Apparently, no one has told you I have no appreciation for human humor."

The Decepticon turned away and Adelaide tried to squirm her way out of the grasp of the Con that was holding her.

"Make our guests comfortable," Starscream ordered as he began to walk toward the exit.

"Hey! Get back here!" Addie yelled angrily.

"Adelaide!" Fowler whispered harshly.

Starscream looked back at her. "Hm, you've got spunk."

"Listen up, buddy, you know as well as I do that Optimus is gonna find us. You might as well let us go before you get your shit kicked," Addie announced boldly.

"Adelaide!"

"Fowler, playing dumb isn't gonna get us anywhere," she shot at her superior.

"You should listen to Adelaide, Agent Fowler," Starscream spoke with a chuckle.

Adelaide turned her attention back to Starscream. "That doesn't mean you'll get anything out of us. And let me guess, Megatron was too busy to be here today so he sent use to do the pointless work around here?"
