Authors note: Hello readers! :D It has been a while since I updated or uploaded anything! My newly (not really) addiction to Transformers has me writing all these crazy new fanfictions! Here is the first one I am going to post. Sorry if there is anything spelled wrong. If there is call me on it! I appreciate the heads up and will go back and fix it! I will do my best to update this one every Sunday! I love reviews and no flames please!

Summary: Post: ROTF. Sam is back home. He finished collage and is living with his family and Mikeala in Tranquility, California. The Autobots returned to Diego Garcia and Sam rarely sees Bee anymore. One day he and his family were visited by a stranger named Sally. She claims that she is the best friend of Sam's long lost sister. He was ashamed to have forgotten about her (with all the crazy events he went through who would remember?) but, with Sally's visit Sam had a new goal for himself: finding his sister, Kim no matter what. His family had relied on the FBI and CIA long enough, time to take matters into his own hands. With Sally's help Sam, his family, and the Autobots will go on a journey like no other to try and get Kim back home.

Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Transformers but, I do own Kim and Sally.

Well with that out of the way. . .

Enjoy~!

Pain. All he felt was pain. Thoughts and memories of her clouded his mind day after day, and only got worse. Today was her birthday, and yet she was not here. Again. It's been 15 years since he last saw her, and every day he would go out and search for her, but would come up with the same answer. No trace. Today was no exception. As he walked all he could think of was how much he missed her. He missed her smile, her laugh, her smartass attitude. He missed her yelling at him for not listening to her. Right now all he was thinking of was what he wouldn't give to hear that familiar yelling. It was now raining on the streets of Tranquility, California, but he didn't care. All he was thinking of was 'Will I ever see her again?'

He started heading home when someone ran up from behind him and grabbed his shoulder. "Sam!" The stranger shouted as she was struggling to catch her breath. "Your parents and Mikeala are worried sick! You ran off without telling them where you were going. What's wrong? Did something bad happen? Are you ok-"

"Today. . ." he cut in, "Today is her birthday. . . It marks her 20th year of life and her kidnapping's anniversary . . . . . 15 years have gone by. . ." Sam turned around and realized that it was Sally who found him. Sally was a close family friend and. . . her best friend. Sally was at a loss for words at what Sam just said but, didn't need to ask who 'she' was. Her kidnapping was hard on all of us but, Sam and Sally were affected the worst. Sally somehow managed to get a grip on her words and emotions before they managed to get the better of her. "Yeah. . . I realized that the second I woke up this morning. I can't believe it's been 15 years already. . . I miss her. . . . ." The silence stretched for a minute before Sally spoke up again.

"Maybe this year is the year we'll get a miracle and see her again. You and I both know how crafty she is. . . Just promise me that you won't disappear like she did." Another stretch of silence before Sam found his own voice. "I won't." he said softly, pain of her disappearance lacing in his voice. "But, you have to promise me something in return." Sally looked up at Sam uneasy at first but then replied, "Sure, anything." Sam looked her dead in the eyes for the first time since she found Sam walking in the rain.

"You have to promise me that you'll help me find her." He said deadly serious. Sally looked at Sam in disbelief of what she was hearing. "You have to promise me that you'll help me find my sister."

Sally still couldn't believe what she was hearing from Sam. He was never one for taking matters so big into his own hands, let alone asks for help. Up until now Sam had always relied on the police and FBI for help and hoped that they'd find her. 15 years later and still not a trace. Sally couldn't blame Sam for wanting to take matters into his own hands, doesn't mean that it's still not shocking. Sam was still staring at her, waiting for her assurance that she'd help him. "Well Sam before I give you an answer I think it's best that I tell you a few things first. . . Truth is that I have been thinking of different ways to get her back home but, Sam there are huge risks to take that you'll have to take, one's that will threaten your life greatly. Are you absolutely 100% sure that this is what you want to do? Once you start there's no going back." Sam's gaze flickered to the side as Sally was talking but his thoughts never changed 'I have to find her, I have to save her.' When Sally finished Sam looked back at her with determination in his eyes. "I have to find her. If risking my life is something I have to do to get her back, then that's a risk I would gladly take. I have to save her. I have to. . ." By now the two were slowly making their way back to Sam's house while the rain fell. The light pitter-patter of the rain on the street making up for the loss of words between the two. Sally once again struggled to find words and had a slight appearance of guilt on her face before it went back to concern. "Alright, if you have your mind set on this there's no stopping you so I'll help. Truth be told I've known where she was the whole time. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it's just that the place that she is being held in is probably one of the most dangerous facilities in the entire world." Sam was still stuck on the fact that she knew where his sister was the whole time and didn't tell him. He didn't care how dangerous the place was! If she knew she should have told him! He wanted to shout at her but, Sam knew better. He didn't want to risk losing the only lead he had in 15 years. So he kept his mouth shut and listened.

"The place she is being held at is a government facility, believe it or not, called Sector 7. Only a handful of people know it exists. Most people who work at the Pentagon don't even know it exits! The reason I know where she is and anything about Sector 7 is because, I worked there. Sector 7 is where Kim and I met all those years ago. I was forced to work there; Kim was forced to work there. We were assigned to each other as partners by the higher ups and that's how our friendship began. Hold on - let me specify what I mean. Our friendship began because, we were both kidnapped from our homes, from our lives, from everything we've come to know and love. . . We were forced to be Sector 7's "Lap Dogs" in a sense and we had to do anything that the Head Director, John Banercheck, wanted us to do. We were trained what to do and how to react in every possible scenario. There was never a situation we weren't prepared for. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if they trained us too well. . ."

Sam didn't know what to say. His mind was racing with all the information he was just given, his mind struggling to process all that information. He had a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that a government facility kidnapped his sister. What did they need from her that they couldn't get from a Pentagon employee or even a military soldier? Why kidnap her? She was 6 years old when she was kidnapped for crying out loud! His mind slowly caught up to what else Sally was saying and stopped short when she said how Kim and her met. 'They met at Sector 7? But Sally told me that they met before she was kidnapped. This doesn't make sense. Unless -" "When we first met, Sally, you told my parents and me that you met her before-hand. Now you're telling me that you met at Sector 7? Why didn't you just come out in the begging?"

Sally now had a complete look of guilt on her face and kept her gaze away from Sam's eyes. They had stopped walking and Sam was trying his hardest not to snap and try and force an answer out of her. "Well. . . I just. . . I didn't want to get your hopes up at finding Kim because, when I came to your house that day to see you guys I had just escaped Sector 7 after 6 years of being there, and I knew that they had tightened security. There was no doubt in my mind that any attempt to rescue Kim would have failed miserably. . ." Sam was quicker to processing this new information then the rest and quickly replied. "But you escaped! How did you? If you got out then Kim can too right?!" Sam immediately felt an unfamiliar ping of hope in his heart at finding his sister and returning her home. For the first time in 15 years her return home seemed possible to reach out and grab.

"Sam. . ." Sally saw the hope in Sam's eyes at her statement. She was afraid to tell him the rest because; she didn't want to crush his hope. She sighed deeply knowing that there was no way around it. "I escaped Sector 7, yes, but at a high price. The escape wasn't even my idea to begin with. Yeah, I wanted out of Sector 7 but, I'm nowhere near as crafty as the person who came up with the escape plan." "Who came up with the plan?!" Sam, barley able to control himself, eagerly waited for Sally's answer. Once again Sally hesitated before responding.

"Your sister came up with the escape plan . . . . And my successful escape cost her, her own freedom. . . . . ."

The reality of the situation came crashing back down on Sam. He felt like a candle whose light just flickered out in the wind. His sister sacrificed herself to get her best friend out. Even through the harshness of the situation he had to respect how noble her action was. About ten minutes passed before Sam finally gathered and accepted the situation.

"Sam? Are you ok?" Sally felt incredibly guilty. She knew that when Kim helped her escape that she would not have accepted the roles to be reversed. She was far too prideful and selfless for that.

*FLASHBACK*

Alarms were blaring all throughout the base while two figures moved incredibly fast down the halls. One figure was carrying a box and the other figure was carrying a rifle. They turned a corner and stopped to catch their breath. Panting one spoke up.

"I'll go to the systems mainframe and disable their security cameras and communication devices. While I'm at it you make a break for the exit." The other figure stood shocked and quiet for a moment, the red light of the alarm was the only light you could see her face in. She didn't want to leave her best friend and partner to go off and head to the bases mainframe. That place would definitely be the most heavily guarded. It was suicide! She was tempted to speak out against that decision but, she knew better. The look her partner was giving her told her that either one or none of them would get out and it was definitely better to have at least one get out. She nodded and before her partner ran off she grabbed her hand and said "Good luck." Then she made a break for the exit. The girl with the box ran for the exit, sometime while she was running the blaring alarm died but, the lights were still flashing.

'She must have gotten to the mainframe safely. Good.' she thought. The girl turned a corner but heard something over her private communicator.

:Agent Lightning to Blaze. Do you copy? This is an emergency!: The figure stopped running and melted into the shadows before answering.

:Agent Blaze here. What's the emergency Lightning?:

:It's a setup! Your route has been compromised! Proceed with Plan B and take the Southside exit.:

:Roger that.: The figure then turned around and headed down some tight hallways before she arrived at the exit. She then turned on her communicator to contact Lightning.

:Agent Blaze to Lightning. Come in Lightning. Is everything ok on your end?: All she could hear were muffled noises. Every few seconds she could hear what sounded like punches and kicks being exchanged. Next she heard gunfire and Lightning cursing on the other end.

:Damn it to hell and back! Out of ammo!: The next transmition came through with a lot of static but, still came through.

:Blaze do you read me?:

:Blaze here. What's going on by your end?:

:My positions been compromised. There's too much gunfire coming my way and I'm out of ammo. I need you to listen to me very carefully. You have to escape.:

:And leave you here with these psychos? They'll kill you once they get their hands on you! You have to get out of there! I'll come back and help you.:

:NO! You and your cargo are too important! You have to get out now while the windows still open! As soon as they catch me they'll go after you! If they get you then this whole escape plan would have gone to waste!:

:But I can't leave you! You're my best and only friend!:

:SALLY!: The girl with the box froze. That name was a name she rarely heard herself be called. Her name. Now she knew things were serious.

:Listen to me. You are my best and only friend too, which is exactly why I can't let them catch you. I promise that we'll meet again someday but, until that time comes you need to run as far away as possible and hide. You understand me?:

:Yes. I understand. . . Kim come back soon.:

:I'll do my best. Now GO! They just sent some troops your way!:

:Roger.:

:Goodbye my friend.: The communicator went flat. Kim smashed it so they couldn't find Sally. Soon voices could be heard yelling at each other down the corridor. Without a second thought Sally turned and ran. She ran as fast as she could and didn't look back. All she knew was that she had to run as far away as possible and that her face was tear-stained.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Sam still hadn't said anything and Sally stood there silently crying because of the painful memory. By this time they were soaked and the rain had stopped. Sam noticed that she was crying and finally spoke up.

"I'm sorry Sally. That must have been hard on you to leave her behind."

"It's ok Sam. Right now we should focus on the positives and try to think of a plan to rescue Kim." She said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I think I still have the blueprints of the base back at my house. We could use that."

Sam's eyes then lit up. "Really? That's awesome!"

"Can you meet me at my house tomorrow around 2? We can probably think of something together!"

"Sure! See you then!" Sam then ran home with a new hope of finding his sister.
