Sam barely paid attention to the increased security as he drove onto the base and parked the car. Turning off his car engine, he allowed his head to hit the headrest and collected his thoughts before he felt a smaller hand slide into his.
"No matter what happens, I am with you," Mikaela said as she gave him a loving smile.
Sam gave her a smile of his own as he brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed it. Sam always wondered how he went from the teenager that got dragged into this intergalactic war, but then he remembered his family motto, "No Sacrifice, No Victory."
Opening the car door, Sam walked to the elevator where he saw several people standing around. He looked toward their belts to see their DCIS badges and their services weapons. He could also see that they were surrounded by member of NEST who had they weapons ready.
The security team leader stopped Sam before he could reach them, "Agent Witwicky, these people are from DCIS and I was told to hand you these."
Sam took the folder of papers from the team leader and read them before closing said folder. He looked at his fellow DCIS agents for a moment, "Sergeant, get them a restricted visitor pass and I need an unrestricted pass."
It showed that the Sergeant expected those orders as he brought out another folder and presented it to Sam. Sam raised an eyebrow as he took the folder from the man and opened it once more. Looked through them, he found the unrestricted and gave it to Mikaela and pass the rest out to the DCIS agents.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me welcome you to NEST," Sam said as he moved toward the elevator, "I am Special Agent Samuel Witwicky and as of this moment you are placed under my command for the duration of your attachment to this unit."
"Why the hell are we under a Probie's command," an older agent asked arrogantly.
Sam looked at the older man and could tell he had been in DCIS for a while, because it showed in how he carried himself. However, Sam was at the point where he was in the zone, "Because the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has ordered so and because these are my friends."
Sam waved for them to get on the elevator after he slid his card. He had to wait for a few seconds as some older agents took their time.
"Please remember that what you are about to see is classified at the highest level," Sam said as they began to go downward, "The only reason, you are all here is because we have stumbled onto something big. It seemed that there are human collaborators working with the Decepticons and they are inside the defense industries."
As soon as the elevator stopped Sam led the way to the lower levels where there was a lot of activity going on. He was met halfway but Lennox.
"We have a huge problem," Sam stated as he joined the man, "According to this Wang, there was something on the dark side of the moon. He said something about how the Decepticons wanted to keep us from going back up there."
Will looked at the younger man for a split second, "After you sure that book said the dark of the moon."
"Yes, Colonel," Sam replied as he handed over the book, "I as sure as the time I died."
Will looked at Sam before looking behind him and nodding to Mikaela, "Sam, who are these people?"
"That is what I would like to know as well, Colonel," a female voice said bring everyone attention to the Director of National Intelligence.
"They are DCIS agents that were called in after the mess at Acuretta Systems," Sam replied.
Charlotte Mearing gave same a hard look as she stated, "I didn't approve further DCIS involvement in this program."
"You didn't," Sam replied and Mearing gave a small smirk, "However, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Department of Defense Inspector General and the United States Secretary of Defense did approve DCIS since you are using DoD assets, Madam Director."
Will looked on in shock and he could tell Mikaela was doing everything that should could not to laugh. The agents in the room were looking else whereas they watched this young man go head-to-head with the DNI and in one agent opinion that took balls.
Bending down, Will got close to Sam ears, "Sam that is the Director of National Intelligence and she could arrest you for treason."
Sam looked at Will and then turned back to Mearing who had anger in her eyes, "I'm going to let that comment slide, Agent, since you don't know me, but I warn you that you are on shaky ground."
"I don't know you," Sam replied, "And I take my orders from POTUS, SecDef, the IG, CJCS and Optimus Prime."
"Oh, you will," Mearing replied as she walked off.
It seemed liked the group release a deep breath as one unit as they watched the DNI walk away. Mikaela beat Will to the punch by hitting Sam on the back of his head.
"Sam, we are so talking about your death wish," Mikaela replied as she walked over to Arcee.
Will shook his head as he looked at the younger man, "What do you need, Sam?"
"At the moment, I need space for DCIS agents to work," Sam replied as he looked at the older man, "At the moment, I have been assigned six agents. I'm also in contact with the FBI as they have secured the scene; however, I know the DoJ will be looking to get in on this since Acuretta Systems had government contract."
"Done," Will stated, "Now, you many want to come with me and see who we found."
Sam nodded before turning around and waved for his fellow agents to follow him. Will led the group of government agents to an observation room. Sam had to contain his shock as he looked at the Cybertronian sitting in the chair. He looked behind him to see that the other agents were just as shocked as they looked at the creature.
"Who is he," Sam asked as he walked to stand behind Will and Director Mearing.
"Optimus has identified him as Sentinel Prime," Will replied, "He use to be the leader for the Autobots during the War. He has been put into a sleep mode, so Optimus has decided to wake him up."
"Where did you find him?"
"The Moon..."
Looking at the senior ranking military officer, "My instructors at FLETC told me that there is no such thing as coincidences and if it should happen, then look deeper. If you will excuse me, Colonel, I believe that it time DCIS start looking into this."
Will looked at Sam as he left the room before turning to look out the window. What Sam said had really had bother him. Leading his fellow agents to his office, Sam was not chocked to see Mikaela sitting in a chair by his desk. He also found several boxes sitting by the desk and several more stacked against the wall.
"First, I should have welcome you to NEST," Sam said as he moved to his desk, "As you can see after the Battle in Egypt that while the government has decided take a more active role in this war that has come to our planet. I know that DCIS normally deals with matters pertaining to investigating cases of fraud, bribery, and corruption."
"While also preventing the illegal transfer of sensitive defense technologies to proscribed nations and criminal elements; investigating companies that use defective, substandard, or counterfeit parts in weapons systems and equipment utilized by the military; and stopping cyber crimes and computer intrusions."
"At the behest of the CJCS, DCIS has become the attached law enforcement to this division," Sam stated, "On paper, I am a Probationary Agent assigned to this unit so that they can have an easier time mediating with law enforcement official. As of this moment, you are all on loan to this unit because we have stepped into something bigger than ever."
Sam paused in his speak as he felt the ground shake, "I want everyone to grab a box and start reviewing everything about Acuretta Systems. It seem that the enemy force had a collaborator working inside the government and where there is one..."
"There are more," one of the agents said.
"Our job is to find out why there are killing human," Sam finished as he pulled out some intelligence report, "Just reading the first few pages, I can tell we are going to need someone to see what we cannot see. Send someone for Seymour Simmons."
Mikaela gave a smile as she watched her man get to work. She had to admit that ever since the Battle in Egypt, he had matured and this job really been good for him. She hated to admit it but she had been worried about him after the battle because Sam had found it purpose. She was brought out of thoughts as Sam moved pass her and gave her a squeeze on the shoulder before going to his desk. Seeing that he was going to be working for the night, Mikaela decided that she would sleep in his quarters on the base.
Sam could feel his eye drooping as he looked at the same documents in front of him for what fleet like the millionth time. The team has found a who lot of case where the Decepticon were killing humans and frankly it had become time consuming. A few hours ago, several agents had brought Simmons. in with someone named Dutch who was using Brains in his Lenovo ThinkPad Edge form to search for two missing cosmonaut who disappeared after the cancellation of a planned mission that seemed to have been called off for no reason.
"Agent McCoy, I think it time we all hit the hay," Sam said as he leaned back in his chair, "I can tell that we are all barely functioning and frankly I don't need us dead on our feet."
"Kid, you guys go ahead," Simmons said from a chair, "Dutch took over doing research and I'm going to be reviewing some files. If we find them, then we'll come and get you guys."
Sam looked at Seymour and thought, He a weird one, but the man doesn't give up when he found something to do. He waved for the rest of the agents to follow him out of the room pasting the MP that was standing outside the door, "Former Agent Simmons is still in there working on the data, give him whatever he needs within reason."
The soldier nodded as she took up a parade rest position next to the door marked 'DCIS Agent Attached.' It took Sam a few minutes before he was able to enter his room after leading the guest agents to guest quarters. As he entered the room, he looked at the woman of his life in the bed. Removing his badge and gun, Sam decided to hell with his clothes and just fell into the bed grabbing Mikaela and pulling her close to him as sleep took hold.
