"So, there's been no sign of any others," Optimus asked

"Nada" Bee answered

"We are all that's left" I answer looking around as I lean against Bee's chassis

"They're picking us off, one by one." Crosshair said bitterly

"We're the pathetic, dirty foursome. And you two make six." Hound said

"Sensai, with your fate unknown, Bumblebee has held command-" Drift said making me turn to face Bee and smile at him

"Despite his complete and total lack of anything resembling warrior discipline. He's like a child." Drift said which really pissed Bee off as he stood up and walked towards Drift angrily

"This child is about to kick your ass," Bee said walking towards Drift angrily

"He brings us shame" Drift continues

"The fact that you're trying to get him in trouble is what's shaming us." I say rolling my eyes as I hear Hound 'ooh' at my remark

Since I'm Optimus Prime's daughter I apparently have high authority and what I say can either make or break you. I didn't realize that until after the war in Egypt, you know ignoring the instance with Sentinel which I was right about by the way.

Bee roundhouse kicks Drift in the face without a warning.

"Cage fight" Hound shouts

Drift gets a single good hit in knocking Bee back aways.

"Smartass" Drift mumble

"Hey you brought weapons that's against the rules" I shout, everyone knows you can't use weapons in a cage fight, as Drift knocks Bee down and put his blade to Bee's neck

"And I am the lone sage who sees through this puppy-dog eyes act? It's beneath you." Drift says with a smirk

"Yes, I've been waiting for them all to dispatch each other, so I could take charge with no trouble at all. Just me reporting to me." Crosshair says

"Well, it sure looks like you've been missed," Cade says sarcastically

Bee walks back over to me and sits behind me with a pout to which I tilt my head back and grab his cheek and kiss his dermis gently and smile at him which seemed to brighten his mood.

"Autobots. Lockdown in hunting us and humans are helping. We need to know why." Optimus said gravely causing a chill to run down my spine

"Well, I don't know why, but I have an idea about who," Cade said making us all turn to him for answers

Cade hurriedly grabbed the drone and started to project the agents hunt an Autobot. It was Ratchet, he kept shouting that he was an Autobot and on their side as they surrounded him. He was begging for them to understand that he wouldn't hurt them and that was all I could watch before I turned around and hid my face in Bee's chassis.

"This drone I stole recorded footage of an Autobot raid. It's in pieces, but watch what happens here." Cade informs

"That's Leadfoot," Optimus said sadly

"They rip him apart," Cade adds

"Savages" Hound says taking off his helmet and holds it to his spark

"And later, this truck comes to haul him off. KSI, Kinetic Solutions. Defense, aerospace, government contracts. They designed this drone." Cade says factually

"So these government guys just hunt you down and then pass you all to this KSI?" Shane asked

"The company is headquartered in Chicago. That could be where they were taken." I say for the first time since watching the footage

"No way to get inside without a battle," Optimus informed

"Well, what if you had some human help?" Cade asked

"What, are you two partners now?" Tessa questioned in annoyance

"Sweetie, we're targets now, too." Cade informed, "We need to know why or we'll never get our lives back."

"Autobots, I have sworn to never kill humans-" Optimus started

"Big mistake" Hound mumbled

"-But when I find out who's behind this, he's going to die." Optimus finished in a deep and threatening voice
- - - - -

"There's a full-on manhunt out for us, so we have some new rules." Cade started then look to me

"Anyone who has a badge is not our friend. We're gonna divide and conquer." I say

"You two are in charge of stealing food and the essentials. And nothing else." Cade says sternly to Tessa and Shane

"Chicago KSI headquarters is like a fortress. We're gonna find a way into their top-secret military wing. Find something to blackmail this company and the government." I say seriously nodding my head to Cade who will help me

"We're gonna get our freedom back." Cade encourages as we separate
