Chapter 1

{-Angel walked into her house holding her coffee. It was quiet, dead quiet. She had just gotten home from a outing with friends and was looking for her parents. They had told her that they were going to be home that day, and that they would have called her if they were going out.

She walked into the kitchen and no one was there, in fact there was no evidence that anyone had even been in there at all. She looked in her room and in her fathers Man Cave, but she couldn't find them. Lastly she looked into her parents room and what she saw made her scream and drop her cup, making it spill all over. There on the floor were both her parents laying lifeless. They had both been shot twice at the least, Angel stared in horror for what seemed like hours until she heard a large amount of sirens.

Moments later there was a loud knock at the door, she backed away from the scene horrified and trampled down the stairs. When she opened the door she was greeted by two officers. "We got a 911 call for this address is everything alright ma'am." She looked to the man and tears swelled up in her eyes and she could only repeat two words.

"Their dead. Their dead." She started balling and the policemen ran into her house searching everywhere. Ambulance personnel ran up to her and wrapped a blanket around her, they led her down to the emergency vehicle and set her down. She sat there crying thinking of how fast it came, first she was hanging with friends and then next she was coming home to her parents, dead.

What felt like years later she heard the voice of the policeman from her door. He yelled out from the house telling others that they were going to need two gurneys and two body-bags.

When they finally came out with her parents all set in the bags a tall woman with dark brown hair walked up to her holding a pad. "My name is Officer Amelia Trake. Can you tell me everything that happened here miss."

"I d-don't know what happened...I-I swear. I had just c-came home from h-hanging out with my f-friends and then I saw t-this." She sucked in scraggily breaths and started to heavily cry again.

"And you saw no one running from your house, not even a flicker?"

"N-no one. I found them l-like this."

"How old are you miss."

"S-six-teen... Who would of w-wanted to do this? My p-parents were kind p-people and were widely loved." She let another set of tears fall down and the woman sat down next to her.

"This must be hard for you, and I do not understand how hard. But I am going to tell you this, no matter what it takes I will find who ever did this." The woman pulled her into a comforting hug and tried to clam her down. When Angel looked back up she noticed a sleek black car driving away.-}

Detective Teraro jerked up from her desk, she looked down and sighed. It had been another late night and she had accidentally fallen asleep at the precinct again. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and noticed that she had been crying, she took a tissue and wiped away the awful memory.

Detective Teraro yawed and stretched her arms out, she almost jumped when someone tapped her shoulder from behind. "Another late night?"

"Mhm." She took the coffee that her friend and partner in crime gave her.

"You need to really stop working late and get to bed on time and I don't know maybe in your bed, for once."

"Maybe later, Macy. This case has got me stumped."

"This case has gotten you stumped for the past five years."

"I know it's just hard to let go. I mean this guy murdered my parents I am not going to let him get away."

"Angel, it's been five years, it's high time you put the case down and let it rest."

"Easy for you to say." Angel tilted back in her chair and sipped her coffee. "Got any new cases for us today."

"None, it's like all the criminals all got up and disappeared." Macy said slapping empty files onto the desk.

"Hey if it makes my job easier." She shrugged and drank the rest of her coffee.

"Whatever Ang." Angel rolled her hazel eyes and sat back up.

She heard a crinkling sound behind her and raised her hand up just in time to catch a newspaper that was headed for her head. "You're going to have to be faster than that to get me Donaview."

"How did you know?"

"Oh please, if someone did the same thing to you everyday, you would be able to catch it to." She stood up and bonked him over the head with the newspaper before throwing her cup away. "try to mix things up a little, might help." She gave a smug smile and sat back down. Before she could get comfortable the captains door opened.

"Teraro." She looked to the captain who only waved a strict finger to come over.

"Ooohhh someones in for it now." Donaview said mockingly. Angel stood back up and hit him over the head again before walking over to the office. When she got in she shut the door and took a seat. She looked over the desk and then to the name plate that read. CAPT. AMELIA TRAKE.

"You wanted something cap." Dectective Teraro said sitting back.

"Yes." Trake sighed and pinched her nose. "There's no easy was of telling you this Angel, but." She sat back up and leaned in, the captain never used her first name unless it was something important. "Look Angel, there's been another murder."

"Okay, then we'll solve it."

"You don't understand, this murder is just like how your parents murder was." Angels eyes widened and she partially stood up. "I wanted to tell you that I'm thinking of handing this case and your case over to someone else."

"What!" Angel stood up hastily almost knocking back the chair she was in.

"Look, I'm only saying this because you've been at this for a long time, I can tell that it's getting to you." She went to go open her mouth but was stopped by the captain raising her hand. "And I also think a new set of eyes would make this case go faster, maybe someone who doesn't have a close personal relationship with it.

"But Amelia... I mean captain."

"It's alright."

"Amelia I have to solve this one, ya, go ahead and give a downtown robbery to some new hotshot but please let me take this case." She folded and shook her hands. "I can work with the kid better than anyone else, you know mono-to-mono. maybe even find new evidence."

"I know that Teraro, but we can't risk your personal feelings getting in the way of the investigation."

"And I can't risk letting my parents down. When I saw them at the funeral I made a vow to myself that I would find their killer and I alone. It's a promise that can't be broken." The captain sighed again and stayed quiet for a few minutes.

"Alright Teraro... But if anything seems out of line whether physical or mental I am pulling you out of this case and putting someone new in."

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. You will not regret this, I will find this killer and put him into custody faster than you can say bang!" She went out of the office and sat back down at her desk.

"What did cap want?"

"she tried to take me off my case."

"Why?"

"Apparently another murder just like my parents happened recently and she didn't want it affecting me. But I convinced her otherwise."

"So does that mean we have a case?" "Oh ya Mace, and it also means we have new lead." They grabbed their jackets from the back of their chairs and walked off.

Soundwave looked at the evidence from the police station, he had hacked their mainframe and gotten what he wanted. He had stolen the information about the recent murder case and the one from eight years ago. He had seen another case just like these but it had happened twelve years ago, the case had been unsolved and put away for good.

He had his suspicions of who it was, a bot named DeathRay, he was brutal merciless bot who killed just for fun, but he somehow always had reasons why. Soundwave held his helm trying to forget the gruesome memory. He looked back to a screen that held a live video feed from laserbeak. He had stationed his lookout at the second house to see who was coming and going. After a few minutes he saw a car pull up to the yard and stop, two women got out of it and walked up the pathway and into the house.

Afterwards Soundwave rewinded the video and closed up on one of the girls, he then looked to the information planted on another screen and saw one of them to be Angel Teraro the lead Detective on the case. He also recognized her as the girl from eight years ago who also had her parents murdered. Soundwave heard footsteps coming towards the main brig and he downloaded the information onto a chip. Afterwards he got out of it, reset up the iacon database and called Laserbeak back. Megatron walked in just as he did so.

"Are you still decoding the database Soundwave?" He nodded once and went to work. "At least be faster about it, the last thing we need is the autobots finding a relic before we do." Megatron walked back out and Soundwave looked to the chip. First thing he had to do was locate the girl Angel. He may not be one to help humans or even be affiliated with one but he never wanted this bot to roam the earth anymore or anywhere for that matter, he had done enough damage for a trillion life-cycles.
