To Protect And Serve

A Mission Gone South

It had been awhile since Bumblebee and Strongarm had gone to Earth. And this turn of events hadn't made Prowl's job easier. He had been trying to catch a ring of Decepticons who had been killing bots and stealing their parts to sell on the black market.

Then his best friend Jazz had told him about Bumblebee mission on Earth and not to long after he had been contacted by Optimus Prime who told him to keep at his mission and look after Cybertron but not to trust the counsel.

Which wasn't a problem Prowl didn't trust the counsel anyway. He was currently speaking with the Prime over a frequency from the Autobots base on Cybertron.

"How is your mission coming along?" Optimus Prime asked him.

"I can't seem to find a good lead." Prowl replied. "I've figured out they've been finding their victims at a club in Kaon but I can't figure out who's involved in the murders and parts thefts."

"Maybe if you could get a former Decepticon to aid you on the mission?" Optimus suggested. "Someone who knows how they think."

"No I'm not teaming up with him." Said Prowl knowing who the Prime was talking about. "With all do respect Knock Out was a Decepticon till the last minutes of the war and we don't know if his change of faction was genuine or just to save his own hide."

"Prowl Knock Out has changed for the better you must give him the benefit of a doubt he can assist you with this mission and you must learn to put aside your differences with him." Optimus told him.

"OK I'll try to work with him." Prowl replied knowing he couldn't refuse Prime's orders. But he hated the thought of working with a former Con and even after claiming to change sides Knock Out still wouldn't wear an Autobot shield well he'd never worn a Decepticon one ether probably because it would be easier to run out on a team if he didn't sport it's logo.

After ending his call with Optimus. Prowl walked outside the base where he found Knock Out waiting for him. Apparently Optimus had already informed the red medic of the mission.

"Hi there guess we're gonna be working together on this one." Said Knock Out trying to be friendly. "Maybe when the mission is over I can help you wax that paint job of your white, black and red look great on you but white can be hard to keep clean." He offered. But Prowl just ignored him and drove off for the club.

"This is gonna be fun." Thought Knock Out seeing that Prowl wasn't happy about being partnered with him. Then he changed to his vehicle mode and followed the police car.

A few minutes later the two arrived at the club it was mostly a Decepticon joint just your run of the mill nightclub setting. Prowl was setting up a stakeout outside the building planing to watch for any suspicious activities.

"So what's the plan?" Asked Knock Out.

"I'm going to stakeout the area you just stay out of the way." Prowl told the Austin Martin.

"But Optimus said we have to work together as a team." Knock Out told him.

"OK then go in the club and mingle with everyone and call me if you see anything suspicious." Prowl ordered Knock Out.

"OK that I can do." Said the red medic as he entered the club. Then Prowl found a spot to hide and conduct the stakeout.

It was quiet for most of the evening then Prowl noticed a seeker femme she was yellow with red as a secondary color and she was poking around in the back alley and looked suspicious.

Not wanting to let the closest thing to a lead he'd seen all night get away Prowl took off after her and she took off running when she saw him coming and he chased after her.
