Chapter 7

Samantha was not a happy human. It had been two weeks since her best friend had been captured by the Decepticons and it seemed that the Autobots were not doing anything about it. When she had recovered from her exhaustion from running all way to the base which was a long way Samantha proceed to scream her lungs out at Optimus for not doing anything to get Bumblebee back.

Sam screamed so loud at Optimus that she became hoarse. Optimus tried to reassure her that he and the others were doing everything that they could do to find and rescue Bumblebee. Sam didn't believe them and as soon as she could she would set off and try and find her best friend.

It was late at night when Sam set her plan in motion. She would sneak out of the base and headed to the place that Bumblebee was taken. She didn't care if she was the only one that seemed to care about Bumblebee.

Sam tiptoed through the base making sure that she wouldn't wake anyone up or be seen. She had also just been givin her permit to drive the military vehicles. She figured that she could 'borrow' one of the motorcycles. Just as she reached the hanger bay Sam was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Sam quickly turned around to see Major William Lennox and Ironhide looking at her. How dd she not hear Ironhide sneak up on her?

"Just what were you thinking of doing Samantha?" Will asked. He never called Sam by her given name unless she was trouble and Sam knew that she was in big trouble.

"Something that the Autobots aren't doing. I'm going after Bumblebee." Sam replied angerly. She could have heard Ironhide stiffen at what she said.

"Samantha despite what you think we are doing everything in our power to find the Decepticon's base and when we do those filthy Cons are going to pay for even thinking about touching Bumblebee." Ironhide told his human friend. Bumblebee was like his daughter to him and when Optimus first brought the tiny yellow sparkling to him to watch and raise he wasn't sure that he was the best choice but when Bumblebee woke up and started to show her baby blue optics and also started to chirp at him to pick her up Ironhide fell in love with her. He and his mate Chromia started to train Bumblebee as soon as she was able and soon Bumblebee was ready to join the Autobots as scout. Ironhide remembered how hard it was for him and Chromia to let Bumblebee go on her first mission. He waited up for hours as he feared the worse when Bumblebee failed to report in only to find out that her comm was broken and that she only had a few scratches on her.

"It just doesn't seem like that to me." Sam told the black mech as tears started to form in her eyes.

Will took the distraught girl into his arms and let her cry her eyes out. The solider had become fond of the girl ever since Mission City and in Egypt when she went through all the weapons fire to get to Optimus with the Matrix of Leadership. She was willing to things that not even the toughest of soldiers would do and she was barely an adult.

"Samantha I know that you are distress about what happened to Bumblebee but you should know that that they can't interface with her do to her having a chastity belt installed as it is a requirement for all combat femmes. The medics can't remove it and the only way to remove it is by the femme when she chooses to. So Bumblebee is safe in that point and you know that she won't go down without a fight." Ironhide told his young human companion.

Sam seemed to perk up a little bit at what Ironhide had said. She knew what Ironhide had said about Bumblebee not going down without a fight. Bumblebee would show the Decepticon's who was boss.

"Thanks Hide." Sam replied from her hold in Will's arms.

"Don't mention it Samantha."

Meanwhile at the Decepticon Base somewhere in the mountains Bumblebee and Barricade were getting to know each other.

Bumblebee let out a laugh as Barricade told her what happened to Starscream when he first came to Earth.

"So you're telling me that Starscream landed in a mud pit." Bumblebee said through her laughs.

"Yes he did. He was not a happy seeker. It took him days to get the mud out of his joints." Barricade replied. He was glad that Bumblebee was starting to feel more comfortable with him. He was afraid that she would be scared to be anywhere near a mech but she surprised him when after a talk she bounce right back. But she was a combat femme after all and was trained by Ironhide and raised by the Autobots.

"So tell me about when you first arrived on Earth." Barricade asked.

"Well I landed in the ocean instead of the area that I was supposed to land in and caused a tiny tidal wave. Lucky that no humans were injured as I would never be able to forgive myself if something like that had happened. Once I reach land I scanned my alt mode and was chase by those Sector 7 morons. Every time they thought that they had me I would give them the slip until the bridge incident when I was frozen and taken to The Hoover Dam where I was place on a table like some sort of experiment and shocked to death. When I was on that table I kept thinking to myself that at least Sam and Mike were safe. I also thought back to my life and how lucky I was to have been found by Optimus and trained to be an Autobot. I don't regret a single action that I did in my life even when I fought Megatron for the Allspark." Bumblebee told Barricade from her spot on the berth.

Barricade smiled at the femme. He was impressed with the way she held herself and for some reason found that attractive. To tell the truth he was always fond of the yellow and black femme ever since they first battle thousands of years ago. Barricade admired the fact that even though Bumblebee was seriously injured in her first battle with him that she never gave up. He also remembered that a week ago Bumblebee was almost raped and would whimper in her sleep next to him. Barricade did what he thought would help her and that was to hold her in his arms and whispers things to her that everything would be ok. It was then that Barricade realized that he thought of Bumblebee more than fellow warrior.

"You know Bumblebee you are a great fighter and that is something that I respect." The enforcer told Bumblebee.

Bumblebee gave a grin in reply as she went back to eating her energon Goodies.

Barricade continued to watch Bumblebee eat and was captivated by her. He had a feeling that things were going to get crazy with the femme that was his guest.

Next chapter Barricade learns more about Bumblebee's past as she opens up and things get a little heated in the shower.
