Desperado slid around a sharp bend on the slick water covered road, grinning behind his full-face black visor, sleek red body moving fast enough for the water droplets on him to simply roll off. The wheels, which were made to be functional no matter what the weather, on his peddes acted like skates as he drifted around in his bi-pedal form late at night, uncaring if one of those human creatures saw him.

The red mech had once been a very well known thief for hire on Cybertron, earning enemies as well as riches, moving up from The Pit that was Kaon to the ever clean and precious gem known as Iacon. Well, until one of those emenies grew a processor and hired someone that would happily take care of Desperado, for a price of course.

'Ah, but I am much too smart for such stupid bountyhunters, no~?' He asked himself mentally, smirking, and spanish accent flowing smoothly.

He turned another corner, grabbing a lamp post to turn much quicker, laughing at the high speed.

Desperado did not miss Kaon, Iacon, or even Cybertron. He found Earth simple and quite relaxing. The thief had easily hacked into a hundreds of bank accounts, taking only a little money from each, and bought a warehouse on the edge of Lake Erie, and was very content with making his own funiture from scrap metal at junk yards. It was almost like the former thief and always Neatural mech turned over a new leaf. 'But the thrill of it all...' A sigh escaped him as he slowed down, the outline of his home visable even in the down pour. Tires rolling up into his peddes, he walked on almost boot like stabilizers, visor breaking int half at the center and sliding to eaither side of his helm only when he entered the steel and wood shelter. It was quiet, which should have relaxed the spanish mech, but it didn't. He felt suddenly on gaurd, like someone was watching him and he did not like it, not one bit. He tensed, and slowly, reached for the flashy gun that he kept at his waist with twitching fingers.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, kid." The red mech froze in his spot when a subtle click was heard right next to his head. "Oh, mierda...Su usted." grummbled Desperado. A deep, rummbling laugh sounded from who was next to him. "Sorry, only bothered to learn english. Mind switchin' it up?"

"Lo sentimos, no hablan ingles~" Turning his head slightly, though slow enough not to be taken as a threat, he smirked up at the bountyhunter he knew all too well.

Lockdown.

The mech who single handedly, nearly, killed him.

Desperado would forever be eternally grateful to the clueless mech he had tossed in the much larger mech's way, giving him enough time to escape. Though he was miffed that said thrown mech was not here to do a repeat.

Lockdown sighed, venting hot air through his vents in irratation. He knew from the information he had recieved from his employeer that Desperado was a smart aft, but he was hoping that a gun to the head would knock that personality trait out of him. A frown tugged at his white lips. It was a shame that he could not simply kill the thief, for his client was offering an extremely interesting upgrade for him alive. He almost felt bad for the smaller red mech for what was to come. Almost.

"I'm not goin' to tell you again. I know you can spe-"

"Soy un tiburón~ Soy un tiburón~ Chuparme la polla~ Soy un tiburón~!" Lockdown growl and grabbed a pair of stasis cuffs from his subspace pocket and slapped them onto the nearly singing thief, who just laughed. "Alguien está de mal humor." was the pouty responce, orange optics shining. "Yeah, keep yuckin' it up, kid, 'cause my client wants you for himself." The bountyhunter watched with amusement as the young mech's optics seemed to dull with fear. "W-Who?"

"Ha, so you can speak english."

"Really? I couldn't tell." Lockdown shoved Desperado forward, back out the door and into the rain. "Smart aft."

"Rather be a smart aft then a dumb aft."

"Then I would hate to be your femme creator."

"Eres un hijo de puta!" Even not knowing what the other was saying, the tattooed mech could already guess it was an insult. And he took great pleasure at shoving the younger mech face down in the mud.
