Suspicious much
Chapter 1:
'So, how was your day? Heard Mearing had a go at ya." Sideswipe said over the radio.
"Yeah, Mearing…" Ron mumbled as he ran a hand through his dark spiky hair.
Sideswipe drove along the highway towards the house of his human. Ronald Stevenson was the human he had been paired up with at the base, he had to live with the Stevenson's for a couple of months to gather information about the planet and the creatures that lived on it and so he was put with a soldier on the base. At first Sideswipe had quite a grudge towards the humans, always saying that they got in the way and how they were useless when it came to battle but after a couple of month's of having to work with them he decided it was not so bad after all.
"Hey, could you maybe stop by at the grocery store, I need to get something." Ron said before yawning.
"Sure." Sideswipe answered plainly.
"Aww, man, I'm going to sleep like a rock tonight. Ironhide sure has a way of tiring us all out with his training sessions." Ron said wile stretching his arms over the steering wheel and across the dashboard, "How do you live with that mech? He's so… so 'no nonsense' and grumpy like Ratchet on a bad day."
Sideswipe let out a snort of amusement, "You'll get used to it."
Just as he finished his sentence they arrived at the store and Ron got out of the car.
"I'll be back in a sec." He said after closing sideswipe's door. Sideswipe remained silent as he waited for his human to return. He looked around him, well, more like scanned around him, it was impossible to see when in his car mode. Wile Ron was gone three other cars had stopped in the car park, one was green and the other two were different shades of blue but it was nothing to worry about, all three the cars showed no sign of being Decepticon so that was good, not like he was expecting them to be.
Ron got in the car and dumped the bag of stuff he brought in the passengers seat next to him.
"Lets go." He said before yawning again. Sideswipe started his engine and continued driving towards Ron's house.
On arrival at Ron's house the sun was just above the horizon, bathing everything in a dark orange color. Sideswipe drove into the driveway over the gravel and stopped in front of the garage. The garage looked over the whole entire front garden lawn in which he could see a teenage girl running up to him, he immediately knew it was Ron's 'sister'; Amelia.
"Ron! Ron! Guess what I brought today!" She shouted at him all the while still running," Myyyyyy new Kickboxing gear!"
"Ah, that's great." Ron said tiredly.
Amelia stopped in front of him.
"Did you get the groceries? Mom was worried you had not gotten her text from before." She said.
"I got it." Ron replied plainly, he pointed his thumb over his shoulder at Sideswipe. "Its in Ssssthe car…"
"Sssthe?" Amelia said as she raised her eyebrow.
"Just get the stuff inside, I need to ask Dad something." Ron said before walking towards the front door of the house. Amelia watched Ron leave before turning back towards the car. She noticed that Ron had not locked it, in fact, he never locked the car. She narrowed her eyes at the vehicle as she bent down and over the drivers seat to get to the bag of food. Once she had gotten it she closed the car's door. She took another look at it before turning around and walking quietly towards the house.
Sideswipe lowered down onto his tires as he sat on the gravel, waiting for the family to go to sleep. He listened to all the conversations in the house, making sure he was up to date with everything that was happening in the family. He thought back at when Amelia had given him that suspicious look. He wondered if she knew about him and the whole robots in disguise thing he and his comrades had going on. He would talk about that when he saw Ron again, just to be on the safe side. He hoped that Amelia did not know though, because if she did she could be at an even greater risk of becoming a target for the Decepticons. Pushing his thoughts to the back of his processor he scanned the house one last time to make sure everybody was asleep. Satisfied with what he saw, sideswipe slipped into recharge.
