Chapter 9-Citizannapping, Saving, and Looking for the All Spark still

Aftera few more minutes of mom trying to protect her rosebushes (involving herthreatening guys with guns with a baseball bat), I decided to step in. "Whatthe fuck is going on?" I demanded with my RVB blade, causing the governmentagent to turn to Sam, Mikaela and I. The guy instantly looked like a kid onChristmas morning. "How you are doing, kids? Are your names Sam and RJ?" he asked.  "Yeah," Sam replied apprehensively and Government Agent nodded. "Well, I needyou to come with us," he told him. "Whoa, way out of line," Dad protested.Government Agent turned to dad angrily. 

"Sir, I am asking politely," hesnapped. "Back off. You're not taking my son and daughter. I'm gonna call the cops because there's something fishy going on here." Dad statedcalmly the agent laughed. "Yeah. There's something a little fishy about you, your son, yourdaughter, your little Taco Bell dog, and this whole operation you got goinghere." He said and I frowned at him. "What operation, you twat? There's no operation here, and before you can start that 'fishy' thing with me, let me tell you this; my friends' are soldiers and they're currently missing in Qatar. So, don't even try." I snapped gripping my blade hard as fire andelectricity surround it. "Regardless, we're gonna findout what's going on here. Step forward, young man." Government Agent said looking at my blade.  Sam stepped forward apprehensively, and the scannerstarted beeping rapidly. "Fourteen rads!" Government Agent exclaimed happily onSam. He turned the scanner towards me, and the beeping intensified. I watchedas the needle went as high as it could go and strained to get higher. Theneedle went to 25. "Twenty-five rads! Bingo! Tag them and bag them!" Creepy said about us. Sam, Mikaela,and I were sitting in a black SUV together while our parents were in anotherone. The teens had the unfortune to be in the same car as Government Agent. 

"So,uh... LadiesMan 217," Government Agent started. "That's your eBay username,right?" Sam turned red. "Yeah, but you know, it was a typo and I kinda just ranwith it," he answered. I rolled my eyes at how he had an answer to the eBaycomplaint well. I notice the Autobots are following the S7 vehicles. Thequestion was whether they would interfere before Sam gave them up with hisbabbling ways. "Well, what do you make of this?" Government Agent asked,showing Sam's phone to them. It was playing the recording that Sam had made inthe junkyard. I rolled her eyes again, thinking that I should have stopped Samfrom taking that video. "Is that you?" Mikaela gave Sam a sour look. "Yeah,that sounds like LadiesMan," She told Government Agent, causing me to startlaughing. "Last night at the station, you told the officer your car and yoursister's cars transformed. Enlighten me," Government Agent ordered. Samchuckled awkwardly. "Well, here's what I said, okay? Cause this is a totalmisunderstanding that the cars had been stolen..." Sam started then the Government Agentinterrupted. 

"Really?" he asked. "From us, from our home. But it's fine now because they came back! They came back!" Sam continued. I resisted the urge to kickhim. How old did he think he was, two? I decided to help him out. "But not bythemselves," I said. "Well, no," Sam agreed. "Because that would be stupid andunrealistic and that would mean that you were high, right?" Mikaela replied. They started laughingloudly, making it sound extremely fake. I knew that our laughter was fake;there was no way that I could have a real laugh after the stressful events ofthe night. Suddenly, Government Agent stopped laughing, making me thinkthat he had been faking, as well. The three teens stopped, too. "So, what doyou kids know about aliens?" he asked. Sam scoffed. "Oh, you mean like aMartian? Pfft, no." he replied. "I heard that the government found aliens onthe moon. And that they're keeping the info from the public." I added sarcastically. GovernmentAgent flinched, causing me to think that I had hit close to the truth with acomment meant to get under his skin. "It's an urban legend."Mikaela continued. 

Government Agent showed his S7 badge. "You know what this is? This is my I-can-do-whatever-I-want-and-get-away-with-it badge. I'm gonna lock you up forever." he demanded. "Oh, God, you know what? Don't listen to him. He's just prissybecause he has to get back to guarding the mall," Mikaela snapped, glaring atGovernment Agent. "Yep, pretty much what I would have say about it." I saidwanting to give her a high-five, but her hands were handcuffed. GovernmentAgent glared. "You two in the training bras- do not test me. Especially you," Creepy #1 said and pointing to Mikaela. "With your daddy's parole coming up," he replied angrily. Samfrowned. "What? Parole?" he asked. Mikaela shook her head. "It's nothing," shetold him as I tried to whack him the best I could. Government Agent let out alaugh. "Oh, grand theft auto, that ain't nothing?" Agent said to Mikaela. Mikaela took a deep breathand turned to Sam. "You know those cars my dad used to teach me and RJ to fix?Well, they... they weren't always his." Mikaela said. "So, you're basically saying that youstole cars?" Sam said and she looked uncomfortable. "Well, we couldn't alwaysafford a babysitter me and RJ was hanging with me because we are friends, sosometimes he had to take me and her along," she defended herself.
