Chapter 2 Interrogation.
Knock Out was slowly starting to regain consciousness he felt weak and tired and was struggling to focus. And having trouble even getting his optics to open. Then Tarn noticed the red medic beginning to stir.
"He's starting to wake up put the restraints and blindfold on him we don't want him to fight us or know where he's being held." Tarn told the rest of his team.
Knock Out then felt himself jerked up as his servo's were tied behind his back. And he started trying desperately to open his optics to get even a glimpse of where he was before they could blindfold him but was too late as he felt the piece of tarp cover his optics.
Then one of them picked him up and they carried him somewhere and then he was thrown to the ground after what felt like a long drop. They had actually tossed him down a staircase to the basement of their hideout. And after hitting the bottom Knock Out just laid there dazed and confused.
Only to be yanked back up by Tarn and slammed into the wall.
"Now tell us what you know about the Autobots!" Tarn hissed at the cherry colored mech.
"Autobots..." "I wwon't.." Knock Out moaned then trailed off. Poor Knock Out was feeling so out of it he couldn't tell them anything even if he'd wanted to. Tarn saw that the Austin Martin was to sick to tell them anything.
"The circuit boosters were to much they didn't mix well with the tranquilizer he's going back under." Tarn told the others. "We won't get anything out of him at this rate he's to sick to talk!" He growled slamming Knock Out hard into the wall then letting the poor sick transformer fall to the floor.
Knock Out just laid there unmoving not only was he feeling very sick but he was now in pain from being banged and tossed around so much and could feel a few places where he was leaking energon and heard a door slam as the DJD left him on the floor in their basement. And then Knock Out lost consciousness again.
Meanwhile Prowl was still chasing the seeker femme who had ran out of the ally he'd first spotted her in and he was now chasing her through the streets.
While chasing the seeker he passed Smokescreen who saw what was going on and decided to help with the chase. Smokescreen took off in a different direction then Prowl chased the femme through another ally but Smokescreen suddenly cut off her path. And Prowl was able to grab her.
She fought them for a few minutes till realizing she was out matched.
"So what is it you want from me?" She asked them.
"What do you know about the murders and part thefts?" Prowl asked her.
"The what and the what?" She asked visibly confused.
"Someone's been killing bots and taking their parts." Prowl explained to her.
"That's awful but what does it have to do with me?" She said looking them both over.
"I just saw my friend was involved in a chase and decided to help out." Said Smokescreen just as confused as the femme was.
"I saw you in the ally behind the club sneaking around and you ran when you saw me coming it seemed suspicious." Prowl told her.
"I was looking for left over energon they throw out at the end of the night." She explained. "And for some reason the cops tend to go after anyone with this logo on them." Then she pointed out a Deceptacon shield on one of her wings.
"There's a good reason for that the Deceptacons once doomed this planet during the war they started." Prowl told her.
"I was never part of the Deceptacons I had no part in the war." She explained.
"Then why do you wear their shield?" Prowl questioned her.
"That's been on my whing as long as I can remember I don't know how I got it." She told them.
Prowl could tell she was being honest he had questioned bots before and had learned to tell if they were lying. "So you were looking for energon in the ally?" He asked.
"Yes I have to refuel somehow don't I?" She said. "I've been living on the street since I was a sparking."
"That's so sad you've been alone you whole life." Smokescreen asked.
"Yes but I've managed." She told them. "My name is Starsiren."
"I'm Smokescreen and this is Prowl." Smokescreen explained.
"I'd be happy to help you catch the killer anyway I can." Starsiren offered. After getting a better look at her Prowl noticed the Deceptacon logo on her wing looked more like a scare that had been branded onto her at some point.
"OK you can come with us and help the Autobots and we'll give you a place to stay." Prowl told her.
"That sounds great." Starsiren told him accepting the offer.
Then Prowl saw how late it was and tried to call Knock Out only to receive static.
"This part of town is terrible for com-links it's hard to get a frequency here." Smokescreen explained.
"We better get back to the club Knock Out is probably back outside waiting by now." Prowl told them and explained about the mission.
"Wait you sent Knock Out to spy then left your post?" Asked Smokescreen.
"I actually just sent him to mingle so he'd be out of the way." Prowl explained.
"But you said Optimus told you and KO to work together." Smokescreen told Prowl.
"I don't think Knock Out can be trusted he spent the majority of the war on the Deceptacon side and only joined the Autobots when it was in his favor." Prowl told him. "And he won't even wear the logo."
"Knock Out is one of us now." Smokescreen said to Prowl. "He made mistakes but he's trying to make up for them." "He told me the reason he won't wear an Autobot shield after he spent the war as a Deceptacon he think he doesn't deserve to wear the Autobot logo." "I've told him he does but he said he doesn't want to wear the symbol till he feels like he's earned it."
Then they arrived at the club and Prowl expected to find Knock Out waiting for him but there was no sign of the red sports car. And the club was closing for the night. Knock Out should have been out waiting for him by now. Prowl knew something was wrong. And went to look for Knock Out.
Then he ran into the bot who watched the door who was getting ready to go home and Prowl asked him about Knock Out and the bot told him he saw a mech fitting Knock Out's description being carried out of the club unconscious and was told by the other mechs that they were taking their buddy home after he passed out from to much high grade.
Prowl figure out what happened right away Knock Out had been drugged and kidnapped then taken somewhere. Smokescreen and Starsiren came to the same conclusion.
"I shouldn't have left my post now Knock Out is in trouble and there's no telling what they'll do to him!" Said Prowl. "This is all my flat."
"Maybe we can find some kind of clue to where he was taken." Starsiren suggested.
"We'll save him." Smokescreen told Prowl. "We have too."
Meanwhile Knock Out woke up still tied up and blindfolded in the basement of the DJD's hide out. He still felt sick and his body still hurt from being tossed down the stairs and slammed against the wall.
Then he heard the door open and someone coming. He felt someone force his helm up and hold something to his mouth.
"Here drink your energon!" He heard Kaon tell him. Knock Out felt so weak and out of it he readily drank it. And once the cube was empty Kaon left and he head the door slam.
Then Knock Out laid his head back down on the floor feeling very sick and tired he couldn't tell where he was but it felt could and damp and he could her the DJD talking to each other from up stairs in the next room but he couldn't make out what they were saying everything he could hear seemed far off and unimportant.
Knock Out felt so sick and tired he just wanted to sleep and went into recharge to rest not being able to tell where he was or think straight for the next few hours he kept coming in and out of consciousness or at lest he thought it was the next few hours he couldn't till how much time had passed.
Then suddenly he heard the door open and felt someone grabbed him.
"Now tell me what you know about the Autobots!" He heard Tarn yell at him as he was slammed hard into the wall.
"How many are in their ranks?!" "Where is their base located?" "What are their defenses?!" Tarn kept asking him.
But poor Knock Out was to ill to think clearly. And Tarn kept hitting him because he was ether taking to long or wasn't giving him the right answers.
"I don't know?" Knock Out choked out weakly. He didn't even know what he was being asked anymore because Tarn's words sounded slurred and distorted to him.
Then Tarn tossed Knock Out to the floor where he hit his helm. And just laid there dazed. Then Tarn walked over to him.
"Since you haven't given us any information I don't think you can or you already would have so I don't think we need you in condition to speak." Tarn hissed at Knock Out.
"Prep the good Doctor here for surgery!" Tarn told the others and that was the last thing Knock Out heard before he felt himself injected with something then being untied and moved as he slowly faded from consciousness.
To Be Continued.
"You probably hate me now." "Poor Knock Out will he get out of this one alive or not?" You'll have to keep reading to find out." "Evil aren't I XD." "I'll try to have the next chapter up soon." "Please let me know if I missed any spelling errors."
