Chapter Four

Ravage came up to two Autobots, laying down to listen in complete invisibility. He listened, hearing he was recording the conversation between the Autobot scientist and the one who had copied his boss. "Blaster, come on! This guy she called a jerk was really uncomfortably close to her, and she didn't like it. I want to give her a vacation," Wheeljack argued.

"She carried me out of the diner right after a really rockin' song!" Blaster argued back, looking annoyed.

Ravage slunk off, realizing it was unimportant, and soon overheard a conversation between Prime and another Autobot. He hunkered down, recording intently. "The energon is going to come through the city in moving trucks that will only have two Autobots in the front and in the back that are noticeable. I'll have a few others along the road, and hopefully we can use the parking lot near the apartment building that is four blocks away from Meal and Music. We'll need the owner's permission though, and we'll get a meeting tomorrow," Prime explained to the other Autobot.

"Sir, is it such a good idea to talk about this in the open?" the other Autobot, now identified as Ravage, asked Optimus.

"You are on guard duty tonight, and I needed to run the plan by you before putting it into action," Optimus explained to Prowl before walking off.

Ravage slunk off, and he snuck across the ground back to Harmony's apartment. He let out a growl as he was caught in a net and then lifted into the air. Ravage growled at the Autobots, and he started to claw at the net. He couldn't get caught, he needed to report to Soundwave!

Ravage growled viciously at the Autobots through the net, also attempting to claw his way out. Optimus shook his head at Ravage which earned Optimus a particularly fierce growl, though Ravage stopped attempting to claw his way out. "Let's get him back to the Ark men. Be careful though," Optimus ordered his men, walking away.

Ravage watched carefully as the removed the net and as they started to shift it to put him into a cage, he launched himself forward, managing to get out. The yellow Autobot tried to stop him and Ravage sliced his hand, which forced the Autobot to let him go. With a fierce growl, he ran off, turning invisible in the darkness. "Oh, Primus! Optimus isn't going to be happy," Mirage stated from off to the side, only no one could see him.

"Ah, be quiet Mirage! I got injured trying to make sure he didn't get away!" Bumblebee groaned, holding his hand.

As this was realized, Ravage had made it to Soundwave, and reported all that he had heard. Ravage then folded back up into a tape and flew back into Soundwave's compartment, barely a bit of guilt for not telling Harmony he had been leaving. She was just another human after all. Of course, that didn't stop him from remembering that she would help him as long as he didn't try to kill her.

The next morning, Harmony awoke in a slight state of panic, feeling the missing weight of Ravage. "Ravage?" she hissed, looking around for any sign of the panther.

After two hours of searching, a knock on the door snapped her out of her panic slightly, and she opened the door a bit. "Oh, hey Mr. Johnson. What's wrong?" Harmony asked the father-figure at the door.

"Well, I need your opinion on something," Mr. Johnson stated.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute. Don't you worry," she told him with a smile.

After five minutes was dressed in a simple t-shirt, and jeans, her hair pulled back messily, she ran downstairs. "Okay Mr. Johnson, what do you need my opinion for?" Harmony asked him, rubbing her eyes below her glasses tiredly.

"Well, the Autobots want to rent out the parking lot next door," Mr. Johnson explained to Harmony and she gave him a look.

"Mr. Johnson, just because I've stayed in your apartment building through some rough times and treated you as I would my father, doesn't mean you need my opinion," Harmony responded with a smile at him.

Mr. Johnson looked at Harmony and she laughed tiredly. "You should Mr. Johnson. They obviously need it. I need some sleep though, so, good night or good day, Mr. Johnson," Harmony told him, hugging him before going back upstairs, and locking herself inside her apartment.

She picked up her phone and dialed her boss' number. "Good morning sir, it is Harmony Angel Baton. I was wondering if I could use a paid day of vacation tonight?...Thank you sir, and have a good day...I'll try to sir...good bye," Harmony said before hanging up.

"Thank the Lord for kind men like my boss," she mumbled, collapsing back onto her bed.

She felt worn out, and sleepy, though her mind was running around in fear of what happened to Ravage. "I'm now mad at that panther," she groaned, sitting up.

She brushed her hair, and plated it into her usual braid, a few loose strands not nearly long enough to join the rest of her hair. She pocketed her money and keys, then went out for a walk, making sure the door was locked behind her.

Harmony walked out onto the sidewalk and started to walk around aimlessly. The cut back in money flow wouldn't really hurt her, Mr. Johnson always gave her time to pay off the rent. She groaned, rubbing her neck, and she crossed the street to the park.

As she walked through the park, she started to hum All the Pretty Little Horses. She sat on a bench, and started to sing it softly. "Excuse me," a woman called, and Harmony looked up.

"Yes ma'am?" she asked, looking up at her.

"Can you help me to find my puppy? He wandered off," the woman explained.

"Well what is his name?" Harmony asked the woman.

"Her, and Sugar," the woman corrected her haughtily.

"I will help you find Sugar ma'am," Harmony told her and walked off, calling Sugar.

As she called for the puppy she noticed that no matter how much she called, the puppy wasn't answering. She sighed, and started to sing My Grandfather's Clock. "My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died,
" she sung softly and was shocked out of the song when a puppy, pure white with blue eyes, lay on her foot.

"Well hello little one," she greeted the puppy, picking up the puppy.

She yipped, squirming a little, and she licked Harmony's face. Harmony giggled, carrying the puppy back to the bench where she had seen the woman. She saw the woman, and walked up to her. "Is this your Sugar ma'am?" Harmony asked, holding the puppy out.

"Oh yes! I was so worried she would be run over by the Autobots by accident since they are moving through town! Thank you!" the woman said, taking Sugar, and walking off.

"Sweet little puppy. Ah, well, I'll just head home I guess," Harmony stated out loud, and walked out of the park.

She was about to step into the street when a horn honked, making her jump. "Hey! Miss Daydream! Want a ride?" Wheeljack asked, opening his passenger door.

"What are you doing here?" Harmony asked him, getting in.

"Ah, I'm on guard duty near your apartment," Wheeljack answered her, making a sharp U-turn.

Harmony squeaked loudly, and giggled. "Please don't do that," she scolded playfully at Wheeljack.

He parked in the mini-parking lot, and opened the door. Harmony got out and looked around. "Wow. People really clear the area when you guys come through, huh?" she asked Wheeljack.

Harmony squeaked when Wheeljack gently picked her up and placed her on the balcony. "For good reason. Ravage got the information to the Deceptions, and they could be here at any minute. Stay inside, okay Harmony?" Wheeljack explained to her.

"Ravage?" Harmony questioned, her voice going up an octave.

"He's a cassette of Soundwave's and is a spy. Turns invisible in the dark, and will kill a human on the spot," Wheeljack answered her, and Harmony looked confused.

"You've seen him kill a human?" Harmony questioned Wheeljack.

"Go inside Harmony. Please don't come back outside till this is all done," Wheeljack begged Harmony, gently pushing her more to the door.

"Very well Wheeljack. Good day," Harmony responded, giving him a slight look for avoiding the question, and then went inside.

She locked the balcony door, and shuts the blinds. She picked up her violin, made sure it was in tune, and started to play. 'In times of confusion, music always clears my head,' she thought, closing her eyes.
