"Are you experiencing any flu-like symptoms? Aching joints? Fever?" He got right up in Sam's face, which made him flinch back.
"No!"
"What about you?" He asked me, seeing me for the first time.
"I'm perfectly healthy" I sarcastically smiled at him. "Thanks for caring about my health"
"What is this?" Sam asked.
"How you doing, son? Is your name Sam? And you, you Charlotte?"
"Yeah" I answered for the both of us.
"Well, I need you both to come with us" I shook my head, stepping closer to my Dad.
"Whoa, way out of line"
"Sir, I am asking politely. Back off"
"You're not taking my kids" The man eyed us both up.
"Really? You gonna try to get rough with us?" He mocked, Dad curled up his hands and I knew he was getting seriously annoyed, I hope he unleashed the almighty power of the beast on him.
"No, but I'm gonna call the cops" Dad threatened, not quite the beating I was hoping for, but it would do. "because there's something fishy going on around here.
"Yeah. There's something a little fishy about you, your kids, your little Taco Bell dog and this whole operation you got going on here" This man is officially insane.
"What operation?" I asked, he stared at me, leaning closer.
"That is what we are gonna find out"
"I think direct contact" The balding man whispered.
"Kid" He motioned at me.
"Yeah"
"Step forward, please" I did so hesitantly.
"Just stand?" The man held up some sort of remote thing and it started beeping. I know that when something beeps it's not good.
"Fourteen rads" The man clapped his hands. "Bingo! Tag them and bag them!" I was then grabbed from behind and handcuffed.
"Hey, get the hell off!" The man just sneered at me and pulled me towards a black sedan.
"If you hurt my dog, I'll kick your ass!" Mom screamed, great thanks, nice to know who you think of first.
"Get me a sample on that vegetation ASAP!" The men were literally tearing up my house.
"Sam! Do not say anything, Sam!" Dad shouted as he was shoved into a car. Thanks, no one thinks of me.
"Yeah"
"Not a word until we get a lawyer Charlotte" I felt a bit better, even though I was being shoved into the car, I tried to resist but it was really hard when you couldn't use your hands.
"Your a prick" I snarled at the man who quickly shut the door on my face. I was pushed along as Sam and Mikaela were deposited on either side of me.
"So, LadiesMan217. That is your eBay username, right?" I sighed and rested my head against the seat, why was my brother such a loser?
"Yeah, but, you know, it was a typo and I ran with it" He tried to explain to Mikaela, who looked amused.
"What do you make of this?" He held up a phone and pressed a button. "My name is Sam Witwicky, and this is my sister Charlotte And my..." Sam's voice came out of it, I thought back to when it was taken. This is just great.
"Is that you?" He asked Sam.
"Yeah, that sounds like LadiesMan" Mikaela snorted.
"Last night at the station, you told the officer your car transformed. Enlighten me" I knew Sam couldn't lie to save his life, I was going to have to step in.
"Well, here's what I said, okay? 'Cause this is a total misunderstanding that our car had been stolen..." He began, he was doing fine so far.
"Really?"
"...from us, from my home, but it's fine now because it's back!" I sucked in a breath.
"It came back!" The man looked like the cat that caught it's canary.
"Well, not by itself" I interjected quickly.
"Well, no" Sam agreed.
"Because cars don't do that because that would be crazy" I fake laughed, as did everyone else and it was a little awkward.
"That's funny. That is so funny" He chuckled. "So what do you kids know about aliens, huh?" We all stopped laughing.
"Little green things with stalks?" I offered up.
"Oh, you mean, like a Martian? Like what, E. T? No" Sam spluttered.
"It's an urban legend" Mikaela said with a very serious expression.
"Legend" I repeated. "You been probed?"
He glared at me, before bringing out a badge.
"You see this? This is an I-can-do-whatever-I-want and-get-away-with-it badge" I need one of those.
"Right" Sam looked suitably intimidated.
"I'm gonna lock you up forever" He continued.
"Oh, God. You know what? Don't listen to him. He's just pissy 'cause he's got to get back to guarding the mall" Mikaela snapped, I didn't know she had it in her.
"You, in the training bra, do not test me" He glowered.
"Especially with your daddy's parole coming up" My eyes widened as I looked to Mikaela who looked like she had been slapped.
"What? Parole?" Sam and I asked in unison as Sam leaned around me.
"It's nothing" She tried, but the man wouldn't let her.
"Oh, grand theft auto, that ain't nothing?" Mikaela sighed.
"You know those cars my dad used to teach me to fix? Well, they... They weren't always his"
"You stole cars?" I whispered.
"Well, we couldn't always afford a babysitter, so sometimes he had to take me along" I faced back to the front so I wouldn't have to show them my shocked face.
"She's got her own juvie record to prove it! She's a criminal. Criminals are hot" He leered at her.
"Hey grandpa, leave her alone" I snapped.
"You wanna go, really. Cause I will have you done for assaulting a federal officer" He spat at me, this man was a dick. He went back to Mikaela. "That'd be a real shame if he had to rot in jail the rest of his natural life. It is time to talk!" As he shouted the last words, he didn't notice the beeping coming from the radiation thing. The cars roof caved in and I immediately slid down in my seat as it was pulled from the ground.
"Big! It's big!" He shouted.
"I can't see it! I can't see it!" The driver shouted.
"Shift your weight towards the front!"
There was a bright light shining on the car, and after a bit of persuasion the roof came straight off the top of the car. We then fell back down to the ground and Optimus was standing right in front of us.
"All right! All right!" He shouted.
"You A-holes are in trouble now. Gentlemen, I want to introduce you to my friend, Optimus Prime" Sam sneered.
"Taking the children was a bad move. Autobots, relieve them of their weapons" Optimus grumbled.
"Freeze!"
"Give me those!" All the guns went flying into Ironhide's hands, that was cool.
"Hi, there" The man acted casual. Optimus looked suspicious
"You don't seem afraid. Are you not surprised to see us?"
"Look, there are S Seven protocols, okay? I'm not authorized to communicate with you except to tell you I can't communicate with you"
"But you said hi" I pointed out cheekily. The man glared at me, it was good having giant alien robots at friends.
