Sunstreaker's vengeance ✔️ (book 1)

28. Wyoming

"Skylar! Wait!"

I sighed as Sunstreaker's holoform sprinted after me and grabbed my arm, pulling me back. "What do you want?" I snapped. "Don't be like this, Skylar... come on, talk to me," he said. "What do you want me to say, Sunstreaker?" I asked. "You tortured..." I said. "Yes... but they were bad people... come on, I have killed, why make a point of torturing?" he asked. I pulled my arm free "Killing is something different... torturing means hurting people on purpose, I accepted the fact you're a serial killer here in America... I just hate the fact you torture people..." I said. "I don't torture anymore... but no one else wanted to do it..." he said.
"Oh, so they asked you because you don't mind?" I asked. "Sort of..." he said. "have you tortured humans as well?" I asked. "Maybe once..." he honestly said. "I am just stupid..." I snapped, pushing him aside. "Why?" he asked, marching after me. "Every time I think I start to know you... more secrets come up... you are just one big mystery... you're not telling the truth, you're a serial killer, a sociopath... and god knows what else you have done..." I said.

"So you hate me now?" he asked, clenching his hands into fists. "I don't hate you..." I said, looking away. "Then what do you want from me?" he asked. I looked back at him "What do you mean?" I asked. "What do you want me to do... to get your trust back?" he asked. "Well obviously you don't want to unfriend me... so tell me what you want me to do... so we still can be friends?" he asked. "You actually worry about our friendship? Even after you hit me?" I asked. "you know that if I get mad I can't control myself..." he said, stepping closer towards me. "I am sorry for hitting you earlier..." he said.

"I don't want to be like my father..." he said. "No... you are worse than him!" I snapped coldly, pushing him out of the way and walked over to my room, slamming the door closed behind me. With a groan I sat down on the edge of my bed, burying my face in my hands. I probably shouldn't have said what I said and to be honest, I didn't know either why it upset me so much. I seriously had no idea.

Maybe I expected him to be someone he wasn't. My feelings shocked me, he's an alien, a totally different species, and yet, I liked being around him. I shrugged it off and got up, I needed to find Sideswipe. I marched out of my room, knocking on the door of Dino's office. Whenever he had cases or work to do he was in here. He's the Autobot spy and the only one that could help me right now. I knocked before walking in, the room was filled with case files and piles of paper. Somewhere hidden behind all the papers, I spotted Dino's holoform. Just like Sideswipe dark brown hair, blue eyes, slightly tanned skin, shaved face, muscular posture, the same ocean blue eyes as every Autobot had, except Sunstreaker and his holoform around the age of 19.

"Bellezza... what can I do?" he asked with his Italian accent he got when he scanned the Ferrari 458. "I need your help," I said, walking over to the chair in front of the desk. "I am a little bit busy, can't you come back tonight? Or tomorrow?" he asked. "No, I can't... have you analyzed Sideswipe's voice message?" I asked. Dino looked up "Voice message?" he asked. "Dude! On which planet do you live?" I exclaimed. "Currently on Earth..." he mocked. I rolled my eyes "Very funny, smart-ass..." I snapped.

"Look... I just got back from a mission and Mearing asked me to have a look at this..." he said. "Do you have a life outside your work as an Autobot spy?" I asked, looking around. "Yes... I am good friends with Sideswipe... so we hang out when you're not around," he said. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Sideswipe and I race a lot against each other on the highway," he explained. I sat down slowly "Alright... well I guess you want Sideswipe back, so maybe you can analyze Sideswipe's voice message... where does it come from?" I asked. "Do you think I am sort of god? I know a lot... I am advanced, more than the other Autobots, but it's not like by hearing the voice message I know where he is, I am not it... okay, I am working on it. I will listen to it--" I cut him off.
