:Lordes, don't do this. Please.: Cade pleaded through the comms as I let a tear run down my face. "I'm sorry, Cade. But I have to do this. To keep you guys safe. Just worry about infiltrating KSI. Let me handle Cemetery Wind."

I ripped the comm out of my ear and walked out of the alley I was hiding in. I walked through ongoing traffic, horns blaring and people shouting. As I walked, one guy nearly ran me over while yelling to get the hell out of his way.

"Okay, mister.." I began as I ready my blasters. I shot at both of his front tires before I blazed on his hood, being careful, however, not to hurt him or kill him. He yelled even more and I smirked before walking away.

But not before saying,

"YOU'RE A BIG BOY! YOU CAN BE PATIENT!"

I approached the front door, looking at both security guard who stared at me skeptically.

"That's her! That's her!" I heard as I looked behind me to see Cemetery Wind show up in their black SUVs. Soldiers began to surround me and I looked at each of them.

"Try something. I dare you!" The asshole, Savoy, said as I looked over at him.

"I'm not here to fight, Savoy!" I shouted before I began to raise my hands. "I'm here to turn myself in. I'm tired of people getting hurt because of me. I'm the one you want, now leave my family alone. And if you try anything to set me off, then you just saved yourself from getting crushed by the Autobots."

Savoy glared at me once more before he snapped his fingers (LIKE THANOS GUYS! LET'S GO FOR THE HEAD!) and a soldier came up to me, cuffing my hands.

"Let's pay Mister Joyce a little visit. We got him the perfect gift."

"Sit down." Savoy said as I plopped down in the office chair across from him. "You have caused a lot of trouble for me, you little shit."

"So have you, dipshit. You really think you were going to get away with killing my parents, my family?! You messed with the wrong one today. I may have been a scared 9 year old a couple days ago, but people change and people grow up! And I'm not scared of you!" I shouted as I slammed my hands on to the glass table.

"Hey!" We both turned our heads to see a bald man, nicely dressed, wearing glasses, approached the table. "Careful. That glass is antique, it's not cheap."

"The hell are you?" I asked as he smiled sarcastically.

"Where are my manners? I am Joshua Joyce and you are not the one to ask the questions here. I am."

I rolled my eyes before I sat back down.

"So, you decided to finally give up, Miss Aubree?" The man said as I glared at him.

"My parents are already dead because of people like him, who don't give a damn about the people! They don't know if they have children, have other family! You're all just worried about the damn money! Where is your sense of humanity?!" I shouted to the man, only see the man smirk slightly. "Bad enough I lost my family. I wasn't about to lose my other one either. I'm doing this for them."

"I love your enthusiasm, Miss Aubree. If only that were to help support our cause."

"Cause? You sound like Megatron now. He talked a lot about cause! But what is cause going to bring to this planet if you kill off all the Autobots?! How are you going to defend yourself when more Decepticons come to Earth from Cybertron?!" I exclaimed angrily as he smiled and stood up.

"Glad you asked. Savoy, bring the girl." The man said as he stood from his seat. Savoy got up and came over to me, grabbing at my arm. I kicked him in his groin area and jumping up and on to his back. He fell to his knees and I held my legs up to his throat, hoping to knock him out.

"Don't ever touch me again. If you do, I will personally make sure that you are dealt with AND that I make sure your death is all but honorably." I threatened, before I felt a shock at my back.

I yelled in pain before I fell back and onto the ground, hitting my head in the process.

"Bring her with me. She can be of some use to us."
