Dark Paradise [Transformers] {1}

Chapter 7

I was put in a cell for a few hours so I was now laying on the cell bed, staring at the ceiling for a long moment before looking at the door when I heard it unlocking.

The door opened and an older man who looked familiar walked inside with two men. "Ms. Ronny Witwicky?" The older man asked. "I learned to say after those words; 'Depends who's asking?'," I said, setting up.

He smiled before holding his hand to me, "John Keller," He introduced himself and I shook his hand. "Secretary of Defense."

"Oh, now I remember. Sorry, I don't really watch the news so much," I said. He smiled again, nodding, "I only prefer to watch when there is something important than normal things."

I smirked, "I like you already," I said. "I'm glad you do. I already heard that you and Agent Simmons got into a bad start," He stated. "His fault," I said and he chuckled.

"I will like for you to come with me," He said. "Where?" I asked, getting up. "To the Hoover Dam," He replied and I stared in shock. "What?" I asked. "Let's go," He said before turning around and I quickly followed.

...................

After a few hours, I was flying on a helicopter with a guard sitting beside me and two other people, who there names were Maggie and Glen, sitting in front of me. There were two helicopters; John Keller was on the other helicopter with his men. I looked at the two friends, "So . . ."

"What'd they get you for?" Maggie asked me. "Um, I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot," I said casually. Glen stared at me in amazement, "Wow," He breathed out. I smiled slightly and shrugged, "Who knew?"

"So cool," Maggie said, smirking. I smirked before the three of us turned to the window to see that we were approaching to the Hoover Dam. "Show time," I muttered, looking back at Maggie and Glen before back at the window as we started to land.

We waited until the guard will open the door and then after he did, he climbed out and he and the others led all of us away from the helicopters. We walked on the bridge and saw a few soldiers standing there on the side in line.

"Team attention! Present arms!"

John walked to the two last soldiers at the end of the line, "At ease. Captain, Sergeant. Got your intel. Excellent work," He complimented. "Thank you, sir," The captain said. "What about the gunships?"

"They're being retrofitted with sabot rounds now. If they hit us again, we'll be ready for them," John said, "But it won't do us much good if we can't get world communications back up."

With that he started to walk away and the soldiers and everyone else followed. I was about to follow as well but then Seymour stopped me, "Hey, kid," He said before placing a hand on my shoulder, "I think we got off to a bad start, huh?"

I glanced over his shoulder to see Maggie and Glen stopped and turned around as to see if I was following. I sighed and nodded for them to continue, which they did. I looked back at Seymour as he spoke again, "You must be hungry? You want a latte? HoHo? Double venti macchiato?"

"Where's my car?" I asked as he dropped his hand from my shoulder. A man stepped from behind him, "Ronny, I need you to listen to me very carefully," He spoke gently. "People can die here. We need to know everything you know. We need to know it now."

"Okay," I said. "But first, I'll take my car, my parents." I looked at Seymour, "Maybe you should write that down."

"Come with me. We'll talk about your car," The man said and led me away from Seymour, and led me after the others with Seymour close following. We got to the other and I walked between Maggie and the Captain, William Lennox. "Hey, you okay?" Maggie whispered to me and I nodded, "Yeah," I whispered back.
