Chapter 44| Visitors

I limped over to the house that belonged to the Witwicky's. Every single bone in my body was hurting. I stuck the key in the lock with trembling hands before walking in and heading upstairs. I placed the USB on the desk and started undressing. Some of the wounds were pretty deep, especially the gunshot wound. There's no exit wound, which means the bullet is still in there. From the drawer, I grabbed a belt and tied it around my upper arm to stop the blood flow. I slowly got up and laid down on my bed. I must have broken some of my ribs, moving and breathing is horrible and the pain only got worse now the adrenaline is gone.

The next morning, I grabbed a shirt and slowly headed down. My ankle was badly swollen but not broken, otherwise, I couldn't walk. "Oh my-- what did you do!?" Judy exclaimed as she spotted me. I sat down with a groan, "tough night... but it's not that bad... just a... few broken ribs," I sulked. "I thought you went out for a walk?!" she said, crossing her arms. "I did... and then I fell of a skyscraper..." I said. "I know... it's all over the news!" she said, pointing at the TV. "Oh... so apparently someone caught it on camera. I had the luck I wore black clothing the other night.

"I needed the data..." I grumbled. "You should consider seeing Ratchet... you look pretty beaten up," Bumblebee stated. "I am a hybrid... immortal..." I grunted. "The energon will heal me eventually..." I sulked. "Hybrid?" Ron questioned. "People experimented on me when I was trained to be a spy... I don't grow older, I heal faster, I don't die unless a Cybertronian kills me, I am faster, hear, and see better... Energon helps to fasten the healing process and I can use it as a food source and Ratchet beliefs I can survive on Cybertron..." I said. "But we try to keep her in one piece... it's quite hard since she always ends up in dangerous situations," Bumblebee mocked with a weak smirk.

"I don't want to ruin your mood, but this is going to track Dino's attention for sure..." Bumblebee said. "Yeah, probably," I grumbled. He was right about it, I had two missed calls from Mirage after breakfast. I shut down my phone before heading back upstairs. I sat on my bed and gazed at my bleeding arm. I needed to get the bullet out. I laid down, just for a moment but a moment started to turn into an hour.
I sighed and hoisted myself up, groaning in pain. I then heard a powerful engine and this 'engine' belonged to a Red Ferarrie 458, I know that sound all too well. 'Oh, this is great' I scowled mentally. Mirage strode into my room not too long after and it all made me sad again. Do I really need to fall off a skyscraper to get his attention?

"Cat... are you okay?" he asked, walking up to me and inspected me. "Here, sit down..." he softly pushed me in the chair and crouched down. "Why haven't you called me and told me you were on a mission?" he asked. I didn't say anything and kept my lips sealed. "You have to talk to me! What did you do up there? Why were you in that building, Skylar?"
"Stop calling me, Skylar! My name died a long time ago!" I snarled. I would have hit him if it wasn't for the pain that waved through me. He shook his head and looked over my body. "Come on, let's get you to the base and let Ratchet check you," he said. "I am not going with you... I am driving with Bee or I stay here!" I snapped. "I am worried and I am taking you!" He snapped. "You first have to explain to me why you went on a mission yourself!" He spat out. He turned around and bumped into Bumblebee. "She's driving with me!"

"She's my partner and she's injured!" Dino snarled, pushing him away from me. "Your partner?" Bumblebee mocked. "Not really how you treat your partner!" he snarled back. Dino clenched his teeth together, "she didn't need you to come here and tell her to see Ratchet! Don't think I already told her!" he hissed. "I am her superior!" he hissed furiously. "Actually, not anymore. I quite, remember?"
he shot me a glare which told me to shut up. "You're coming with me! I am not going to discuss that with you!" Dino barked and grabbed my arm. I let out a scream in pain causing him to drop me. "See what you're doing? Can't you just be gentle with her!" Bumblebee yelled and knelt down. "I want to take her... she's my partner..." he objected. "Not anymore, why else do you think I haven't called you?" I snapped. "You have to tell me because I am head of the department spy so you have to!" he snarled.

I let Bumblebee help me up. "No, I am telling Optimus and Lennox... that's what I am going to do and if you want to know, you should ask them..." I said stubbornly before heading down with Bumblebee. Sam said nothing when Dino passed him. I hopped in Bumblebee's alt-mode and he drove me back to base. "Try to ignore him," Bumblebee murmured. I nodded quietly. He's right, I should ignore Mirage.

I hopped out when Bumblebee rolled into the base and cut off his engine. Isabell strode over to Mirage. I am almost completely sure she's doing it on purpose to make me feel bad. "I have to go, Isabell," Dino stated and pushed her aside, following me and Bumblebee. "What were you thinking?" Ratchet scowled at me as he gestured me to sit down. "I had too... it's the last thing I wanted to do," I stated. "At least I accomplished something Mirage couldn't even do on his own," I sharply added. From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Mirage clenched his jaws together. "He was too busy anyway," I added under my breath.
Ratchet didn't deny it nor agreed with me. I think he tried to stay out of this. "What did you do, Cat?" Mirage asked once again, but I kept my lips sealed while Ratchet was working on my shoulder to get the bullet out. "I will give you some energon to help you heal faster," he added. I nodded laid my head back on the pillow of the medical bed.

The medic also made an X-ray of my chest and pointed out I have six broken ribs. Explains the horrible pain. He couldn't do much about it and told me to rest and take it easy. Dino sighed and stared at me, he seated on the edge of the medical bed. "What were you doing up there?" he repeated his question again. "'Do I really need to fall off a building to make you see me?" I asked. He cocked his head to the side but couldn't answer because Optimus and Prowl strode in. Prowl gestured Mirage to back off, which he did but with some scowls. "It's all over the news... perhaps you want to explain yourself?" Optimus asked. I gazed at Mirage, "not as long as Mirage is here..." I stated. "Get out," Prowl ordered. "What?! You can't do that! I am a spy! I need to know!" He objected frantically. "Get out! That's an order!" Prowl snarled. He huffed and shook his head before leaving.

"Ratchet... can you give me my jacket?"
Without asking why he handed it to me and I grabbed the USB. "I downloaded important data... this will show transactions between the mafia and the Decepticons. Apparently, the Decepticons are paying some people a big amount of money for something. I don't know why, but they're also names in these files. People from all around the globe. I haven't asked Mirage because he's too busy with other things and I stopping anyways, so this is all I wanted to get before quitting completely," I said.

"Cat... you're so good at what you're doing, why would you stop?" Optimus asked, his gaze softening. "I used to love it... just not anymore," I sighed, looking away. "Well obviously I can not force you to keep working, but perhaps you want to think about it. You're a huge asset to our team... you're family. We need you..." he said. I gave a weak smile and nodded briefly, "I will think about it..."
