Terra

KSI

The next day we all loaded into Optimus, me climbing into the very back again. I pulled out my phone to check on the battery. 'This feels like such a mediocre task to do.' I thought. "There's a full-on manhunt out for us, so we have some new rules. Anyone who has got a badge is not our friend. And we're gonna divide and conquer." Cade spoke up. He turned to Shane and Tessa "You two in charge of stealing food and the essentials, and nothing else. Chicago KSI headquarters is like a fortress. I'm gonna find a way into their top-secret military wing. Find something to blackmail this company and the government. We're gonna get our freedom back."

I nodded softly, looking away. Leaning my back onto the side wall of the cab, I pulled my headphones over my ears and lost myself in my music. Shane and Tessa got dropped off some distance away from a store while the rest of us looked for a place to hide. We were approaching the more abandoned part of town when I spotted the old church I had seen before. "Optimus. That church over there should be big enough for you to stand in." He started to move over to the church I pointed out.

When they were sure no one was around, the Bots transformed, and we headed inside. After moving around some things, Cade was able to find a box of clothes and I was able to find something I could mess with. Tessa and Shane appeared with their bags full. "Tessa, Hey, I found a whole bunch of boxes of clothes. So, sweetie, you can get some long pants, nice, loose-fitting ones, and lose the short shorts, okay? What'd you guys get?" Tessa rolled her eyes at Cade while she and Shane dumped their bags out.

I walked over after changing, the first thing I noticed was a large white plastic container. "It's protein." She looked at me when I picked it up. "Hey, how come she can dress like that?" Tessa pointed to me. I looked down at what I was wearing. Amongst the clothes, I was able to find knee-high lace-up boots, black shorts that hugged my lower half, and a red crop top with a black and blue flannel shirt. "She is old enough to dress as she wants. Plus, her shorts are just passed her fingertips." I rolled my eyes. "Tess, your skin needs more protection than what those shorts will give." Cade continued to look through the stolen items.

"You stole mouthwash?" Cade asked Shane as he sat down. "I like to be fresh when I'm making out with your daughter," Shane replied cockily. "That's funny," Tessa said while smiling. "Yeah, that's not happening." I growled as I grabbed the mouthwash, throwing it out the broken window." "Ever." Cade reinforced. "Ever?" Tessa laughed. Shane looked at me, "How did you do that?" "Do what?" I gave him a confused look. "That!" He pointed out the window. "How did you get that through there so cleanly?!" "I aimed?"

Tessa looked at Shane, "She is a sniper." He just stared at me. I walked away from the table and ended up near the bots. I looked to the blue bot, "Um, I didn't catch your name." "And I yours." I pouted at him. The other bots looked at me, Hound spoke up, "Didn't catch your name either, little shooter." "Terra, my name is Terra Major. The one who actually found Optimus." "Well, I'm Hound, that's Bumblebee, Drift, and Crosshair." He pointed to the black and yellow bot first, next was the blue samurai, and then the green and black trench coat bot.

"Well, it's nice to meet you all." I gave them a small wave before I started to wander off. I ended up putting my music on and lost myself into my world of dancing. It was startling when Cade rushed past me heading to the table. I stopped and paused my music, so I could find out what was going on. "A couple times a day, these guys are moving in vehicle shipments into KSI for something called "scanning." Major security all over. So, our best shot at getting in is a back classified research entrance. I'm gonna drive in with Bee tomorrow morning." "I'm going with you Cade, no arguing." I gave him a look saying, "I'm bored, you won't sway me."

He just nodded his head and went more into planning. I walked over and sat near the bots. Hound looked at me in surprise, "What?" I asked him. "Why are you sitting over here? Thought you humans hated us?" "I actually hate humans. The majority can die for all I care. Humans are selfish, greedy dick heads. My adopted parents and these three are really the only humans I can stand." "What has led to your distrust of your own kind?" Drift asked me. I looked down, "It's a story for another time." I heard Cade make a comment to Tessa. "You're so square. Who even says "smooching"?" Tessa replied with a confused look. Cade turned out to be near Optimus, "I tell you, no respect. It's just impossible sometimes." "Yeah. I went through that with Bumblebee." Optimus replied.
