Chapter 9

Jack and I both silently opened the front door to my home, where I heard Judy and Ron talking along with the news blasting.

"What did he say?" asked Judy.

"What?" Ron asked in return, holding a phone to his head.

"Did he hear it too?" she scowled.

I motioned for Jack to step into the house, before I shut the door behind him.

Jack glanced around the house from where he stood, and nodded his head, while whispering," Nice place."

I nodded in agreement, while I heard Judy shout," Jaden! Oh god there you are! I was ju- Who are you?"

Jack and I both turned around and gave Judy pleasant smiles.

"Uh…mom, this is Jack Harker. Jack this is my mother, Judy Witwicky." I introduced both of them, while Ron still sat in the living room upon the phone with his brother, who lived an hour or so north of us.

"Jack Harker?" Judy smiled, and overly exuberantly continued," Your the young man that fixed my car the other day, aren't you?"

Jack nodded, while Judy smiled widened," I didn't know you knew my daughter."

Jack shrugged his shoulders, and answered smoothly," Jaden and me go to school together and have known each other for awhile now."

Judy made a large "O" with her lips, before giving me a quick wink of encouragement.

I rolled my eyes, and announced, as I began walking up the stairs to my room," Come on, Jack."

"Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Witwicky," Jack grinned, before following me up the stairs to my room.

But as we walked up the stairs, I easily overheard Judy proclaim loudly to Ron," Jaden brought a man home, Ron! A man with a job! She is moving up in the world with her taste in men!"

As soon as Jack was in my room, I locked the bedroom doors.

I sank down to the floor in embarrassment, with my back still against the door.

"Your mom seems nice," Jack chuckled, as he randomly sauntered about my rather big bedroom, which had its own private bathroom and porch that looked over the backyard.

"Very funny," I grunted, as I stood up, and dropped my tote down upon my bed, emptying of all the contents.

I picked up my I Pod and several other unneeded objects, and placed them in their various spots around the room. But what I had failed to realize was Jack's eyes drifting back and forth, between the windows that over looked the backyard and myself.

I walked over to my closet, and grabbed a t-shirt and new black and white stripped flats, thinking that the outfit I had on wasn't exactly acceptable for the journey I was probably about to embark upon.

Suddenly Jack murmured," Shit!"

He looked down the window, instantly causing me to run over next to him to see what the problem was. And not to my surprise did I see Sam, the Autobots, Mikaela, and Mojo running around the backyard destroying it.

But Sam ran inside the house, leaving the Autobots to their own vices.

"Shit!" I agreed, rushing towards the bathroom.

"Where are you going off too?" Jack lifted up an eyebrow, following my move with his eyes.

I rolled my eyes, and motioned to the bathroom, and quickly locked the bathroom door behind me, after I stepped into it.

There I found myself rushing to pull my hair back into a descent pigtail, removing all of my unneeded makeup, taking off all of my jewelry. But just as I was about to take off my shirt and shoes, the whole house shook.

I heard Judy and Ron shouting downstairs," Earthquake!" And right after that the power went out.

"Jack!" I peeped, opening the bathroom door, still holding my t-shirt and shoes I needed to change into.

I glanced around my dark room, and saw Jack still looking down the window, shaking his head furiously.

"Judy and Ron are going to find out about the Autobots, if Sam doesn't find those glasses quick." Jack hissed under his breath.

I kicked off my shoes, and pulled on my new ones, while whispering," Well, I just need to change my shirt, then we can run down to Ace and get out of here, okay?"

Jack nodded, when suddenly we heard Ron and Judy down the hallway, with a flashlight obviously in hand," Jaden? Sam?"

"Sammy?" Judy chirped," Jae? Jack?"

"What the hell is that?" Ron asked loudly, obviously standing by Sam's door.

Jack shook his head, and whispered," They're going to find out! We need a diversion!"

"I don't know," Judy whispered in return to Ron's comment.

Suddenly Jack grabbed my shoulders, and whispered, very seriously, even though I could hardly see his face in the darkness," Do you trust me?"

"Yeah, why?" I asked dumbstruck, still holding my t-shirt.

Suddenly I felt Jack's lips capture mine, causing me to close my eyes. Thus making me dependent upon Jack.

Jack took a step forward, making me go backwards, almost falling back into my bed. But I guess Jack wanted that to happen, because he gave me a careful nudge to make sure both of us fell onto the bed, loud enough for the springs to make a noise loud enough for Ron and Judy to hear.

"What was that?" Judy asked again, this time by my door.

At this moment, it was painfully obvious my lack of relationships I have had through my lifetime, as I laid there upon my bed.

Jack then intentionally knocked over my tote, which sat upon the edge of the bed, causing another loud noise, as he continued to kiss me.

"Ron?" Judy murmured again, still by my door.

"Please remember that you trust me," Jack whispered dangerously close and huskily against me ear.

I nodded, taking a deep breath, as I felt his fingers curl against the bottom of my camisole I wore today.

And with one easy movement, my camisole had been pulled off leaving me in a rather skimpy, lace, bra.

I naturally gasped, at the new feeling of Jack's upper body molding around me, like a shield from outside eyes.

"Jaden? Jack?" I heard a knock upon my bedroom door.

Jack kissed me again, keeping me silent, while I let him direct one of my hands to his head, causing his hair to tangle.

"Jaden, honey?" I heard Judy asked louder.

Suddenly Jack sat straddling my waist, and I forced myself to close my eyes. This was getting too awkward and embarrassing to fast.

Suddenly I heard something soft land upon the floor, causing Ron to shout," Jaden, what's going on in there? Open up now!"

But I was now greeted with a sensation all new to me. Jack's bare upper body was back on top of me, shielding me once again.

I could feel the perfect toned body that belonged to him. Once again I felt myself beginning to shy away. I know I wasn't the most physically fit person in the world, and I could loose some more weight. But I had never felt as self-conscious as I did now being so bare in front of Jack.

I heard the door handle shake, while Jack whispered against my ear ever so sincere," Please trust me."

I opened my eyes and uncertainly watched Jack, as he directed my hand back into his hair again, and my other hand to the belt lop upon his jeans, making sure I understood the suggestive tugs, which gave this act a more realistic look of two teenagers making out.

"Jaden? Honey, open up, before your father starts counting." Judy pleaded, while the shaking upon the door handle became more violent.

"One. Two. Three."

And with these directions, and began playing my acting piece of the hormone driven teen, while Jack's mouth now ventured onto my neck.

"Four."

I involuntarily let a moan slip past my lips, accidentally, as Jack found a sensitive spot upon my neck.

"Jaden?" Judy shouted, now as Ron began throwing his body against the door.

But once again Jack's teeth gently nibbled the soft spot upon my neck, causing me to moan again.

"Five."

This time I was not surprised to see my bedroom door fly open, revealing Ron with a flashlight and Judy with a baseball bat, standing in my doorway, completely oblivious to the situation staged before them. Ron's flashlight went about the room, until it landed upon both Jack and I. That was when Judy blushed, and realized the status of both Jack and I, as Jack and I looked at my parents. I felt Jack's body almost protectively cave in around me again, shielding my exposed body from Ron and Judy's eyes.

"Oh!" Judy stammered, still behind Ron.

Ron rolled his eyes, obviously unfazed," Young lady, didn't I tell you to open up this bedroom door. Your mother and I were seriously worried about you. We thought you might have slipped and hurt yourself, or something, during the last quake."

"Everything is alright in here, Mr. Witwicky," Jack broadly grinned, playing cool, in this normally embarrassingly situation. But I still had a faint hint of pink upon my cheeks.

Ron nodded, while Judy apologized," You two just finish with what you were doing. Come on, Ron."

Both Ron and Judy ushered themselves out, shutting the door behind them, as they began knocking upon Sam's door.

Instantly I closed my eyes, and let out a deep breath to calm my nerves.

Hopefully Sam had gotten his glasses he needed.

Suddenly I felt Jack kiss my cheek, and whisper," I'm sorry you had to do this, but it was the only thing I could think of."

"It's alright," I sighed, almost becoming use to the feeling of Jack's skin touching mine.

I felt Jack's body weight shift, as he was no longer straddling me, but sat down next to me, upon the bed.

I opened my eyes, and saw Jack studying me once again. I couldn't help but blush, while I closed my eyes again. I couldn't believe I had actually gone through all of that with Jack, just to make sure Sam got his glasses. Boy does Sam owe me one.

Suddenly I was greeted with Jack straddling my waist again, and his lips were back to kissing me.

It was at this time, I let myself naturally wrap my arms around Jack, and let my fingers play with his hair.

I also became less in tune to what was happening outside my bedroom, and was only brought back to reality, when I heard my name being said by Judy.

"I mean you don't have to call it that word, if that makes you uncomfortable. You can call it Sam's happy time. Your sister, Jaden, is actually having some happy time of her own, right now, with that nice young man, Jack, in her room right now. You know?"

With that I broke the kiss, with Jack, and quickly pulled my hands out of his hair and cupped his face.

Jack lifted up an eyebrow, while I whispered," We need to get ready, and then go get to Ace, Jack. We can't do this right now."

Jack starred at me for a moment, but his eyes quickly flickered across my face, while he whispered back, with a bittersweet smirk," A kiss for the road?"

I smiled and lifted my head up slightly, and planted a quick innocent kiss upon Jack's swollen lips.

Quickly after that, Jack rolled off of me, and began picking our things up off the floor, while I sat up upon the bed.

But once again the house shook, and I heard Ron shout," After shock!"

Yet rather quickly, Jack pulled on his t-shirt, before he walked back over to me with my purse and new t-shirt, which I had dropped as we fell backwards onto the bed.

"May I?" Jack neatly held the shirt, ready to slip over my head, as if I was a child.

I rolled my eyes, but I was actually oddly happy to see he would go to as far as making sure he would help dress me, after forcefully undressing me.

I held my arms up in the air, making it easier for Jack, as he carefully tugged the shirt down my body.

Once that was finished, Jack's hands had found a new home upon my hips.

I smiled, as I placed my own hands over Jack's large hands, and glanced back up at him.

And without a second thought Jack planted another kiss upon my lips, while I overheard the front door's bell beginning to ring.

"I wonders whose here?" I broke out of the kiss, picking up my purse, and beginning to walk back down stairs, where I saw Ron talking to a man in the door way.

Jack wrapped one arm protectively around my waist, as we both sat upon the staircase watching.

"Ron, there's guys all over the front yard!" shouted Judy in shock.

"What the heck is going on here?" demanded Ron, leaving the door open for five more suited men to walk into the home.

The main man answered," Your son filed a stolen car report last night. We think it's involved in a national security matter."

"They're ripping up my rose bushes!" cried Judy, while Ron questioned," National security?"

"That's right, national security," reaffirmed the head man.

"My god, Ron, they're everywhere! There are guys in suits all around the house! Look at this!" cried Judy again.

"Could you stay off the grass!" Ron reprimanded, at a suited man, while the head man, strolled about the living room, but glanced up and saw Jack and I sitting up the stairs.

He gave us a smirk, before motioning for both of us to come out of our hiding place.

Jack let a low growl echo from his chest, but I stood up, and had him follow me down to the family room.

The head man then shouted over his shoulder," Get me a sample, and some isotope readings."

Jack and I glanced all around us, seeing people rip apart Judy and Ron's plants. At one point Judy picked up a bat ready to hit someone, when the head man grabbed her bat and hissed," Drop the bat, ma'am. I'm carrying a loaded weapon."

"You'd better get those guys out of my garden or I am gonna beat the crap out of them!" Judy threatened.

Suddenly the head guy shinned a light in Judy's eyes, and questioned," Are you experiencing any flu-like symptoms? Aching joints? Fever?"

That was when Sam and Mikaela both walked into the family room, silently running over to Jack and me.

"No!" shouted Judy in protest, but the head man turned to face the four of us, and asked," What is this? How you doing, son? Is your name Sam?"

Jack never flinched, while Mikaela and I both clung onto to Jack.

Sam nervously answered," Yeah?"

"Well, I need you to come with us."

"Whoa way out of line!" shouted Ron.

"Sir, I am asking politely. Back off."

"You're not taking my son!" Ron stepped in front of us, along with Judy.

"Really? You gonna try to get rough with us?"

"No, but I'm gonna call the cops, because there's something fishy going on around here." Ron informed him.

The man only chuckled and corrected," Yeah. There's something a little fishy about you, your son, your daughter, and your little Taco Bell dog and this whole operation you got going on here."

"What operation?" shouted Ron, as Judy picked up Mojo.

"That is what we are gonna find out," answered the head man again.

Suddenly another man walked up and said," I think direct contact, sir."

Instantly the head man took a metal detector looking thing, and said," Jaden? Sam?"

"Yeah?" Sam answered again.

"Step forward, please." He commanded, holding up his detector.

Sam was about to step up, when Jack grabbed Sam's arm, and hissed," Not without a warrant!"

The head man frowned," Didn't I just say to stop interfering with our investigation."

Jack growled again, stepping forward in front of Ron and Judy, leaving Mikaela, Sam, and me in the back," Listen, buddy, you're not searching anything else without a god damn warrant! I know my rights!"

Suddenly a man stepped out of no where, and threw a punch directly into Jack's head, pushing him backwards onto the ground.

Of course I screamed, but I pushed myself forward to Jack, and quickly cradled his head, checking for signs of injury.

"Ugh!" groaned Jack, while I heard this annoying beeping noise behind me.

Little did I realize that the head guy, had his detector over both Jack and I, then had diverted to both Mikaela and Sam, as they both came over to me, to see how Jack was.

"Fourteen rads," announced the head guy.

He then turned around, and shouted," Bingo! Tag them and bag them!"

Instantly I found myself being pulled away from everyone, and a man in a suit had thrown me over his shoulder.

I kicked and screamed my own slur of threats, as I was being pulled out of the house.

"Jaden!" I heard Sam shout back.

"Jaden! Sam! Don't say anything until we get a lawyer!" Ron shouted behind us, as he and Judy were forced into their own separate vehicle.

And with one last jolt of energy, and I kneed the guy in the nose, casing him to fall down, dropping me in the process.

Instantly I began running down the street, only to hear several men behind me shouting," Get her!"

When I glanced behind me, I saw Jack, in cuffs, shouting," Run! Get the fuck out of here!" But he was punched once again; as he was dragged over to the van Mikaela was just pushed in.

But when I looked forward again, I found myself in the arms of two suited guys, one grabbed my feet and legs, the other my arms and upper body.

Of course I screamed bloody murder, and in return all I heard was Jack and Sam shouting for the men to stop treating me to roughly.

But I was thrown into the backseat of the black car, only to find myself smashed into the same seat at Jack, Sam, and Mikaela too.

"Jack," I gasped, as I was about to wrap my arms around him, only to find handcuffs thrown onto me, and rather tightly.

"Agh," I screeched, before the door was closed.

"Don't you fucking treat her like that," Jack cursed

He then looked back down at me, and cooed," You okay?"

I honestly shook my head no because I was in pain, while the car jolted forward.

"So," began the head suited man," LadiesMan217, that is your eBay username, right?"

Sam answered, with an embarrassed tone, while I wiggled my way onto Jack's lap," Yeah, but, you know, it was a typo and I ran with it."

"What do you make of this?" he asked, pressing something upon Sam's cell phone.

"My name is Sam Witwicky, okay? And my-"

"Is that you?" he asked again.

Mikaela rolled her eyes and answered," Yeah, that sounds like LadiesMan."

"Last night at the station, you told the officer your car transformed. And how does your sister get a hold of such an expensive car, as an Aston Martin, when she was sixteen years old. Enlighten me."

"Well, here's what I said okay?" Sam stammered," Cause this is a total misunderstanding that my car had been stolen-"

"Really?"

"-from me, and from my home, but it's fine now, because it's back. It came back!"

"Well, not by itself," Mikaela corrected, trying to seem helpful.

"Well, no," Sam reassured, looking back at her.

Mikaela smiled and continued," Because cars don't do that because that would be crazy." She gave a soft laugh at the end, causing the head man to laugh too. But not for the right reason.

"What about you, Miss?" he looked directly over at me," how did you get your car?"

"She worked at the car dealership, and had been saving up money for awhile to but an Aston Martin. Right, Jaden?" Sam announced.

I nodded in approval, while saying," You wouldn't believe how much an employee discounts can change the final price upon a vehicle."

He rolled his eyes at me, and hissed," So what do you kids know about aliens, huh?"

Jack sarcastically chuckled," One crawled up your ass and died."

I gawked at Jack, while Jack chuckled at his own joke, making Sam and Mikaela silent.

The head man frowned, and sneered," Shut it, punk, because now that your eighteen you can serve some real time."

Instantly Jack hardened, and sent the man a rough glare, while Sam tried to smooth over," Oh, you mean, like a Martian? Like what, E.T.? No."

"It an urban legend." Mikaela announced too.

I just shook my head, and rested my head against Jack's chest.

"Yeah. You see this?" he pulled out a badge," This is an I-can-do-whatever-I-want-and-get-away-with-it badge. And I'm gonna lock you all up forever."

"Bullshit," Jack hissed back," Sam and Jaden have done nothing wrong!"

"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 added.

"You," the head man grunted," in the training bra, do not test me. Especially with your daddy's parole coming up."

"What? Parole?" Sam dumbly asked.

"Leave Scott out of this," fumed Jack.

"It's nothing," Mikaela reassured weakly to Sam.

The man rolled his eyes, and corrected," Oh, grand theft auto, that ain't nothing? Your daddy even had Jackie boy over here working for him. And I doubt you would want your cousin to join him in prison would you?"

Sam seemed more confused, while I turned my head to Jack, and whispered," Calm down, please."

Jack glared at me for a second, until I leaned forward and placed a quick kiss upon his lips, while Mikaela explained," You know those cars my dad used to teach me to fix? Well, they…they weren't always his."

"You stole cars?" gasped Sam. "Both of you?" Sam glanced over at Jack.

"Scott couldn't always afford a babysitter, especially when I was in town," Jack continued," so sometimes Mikaela and I would go along with him and my dad."

The man in the suit shouted again," They've got their own juvie records to prove it! And Jack's is twice as long, as hers, with even more felonies! They are both criminals!"

"Shut up!" I snapped at him.

He only devious smirked in return," It would be a real shame, if your adoption papers were to go missing, Jaden, and you were forced to go live with your real mother. How old is she now, twenty nine? If I recall correctly she still works at the same strip joint that she got you from. Think about all of those college applications you've sent out recently. Would they want to accept anyone with a family history like yours?" He then paused and looked over at Mikaela. "It would also be a real shame if your daddy had to rot in jail the rest of his natural life too. So I think this would be a good time to talk!"

Suddenly we collided in with something, causing us to spin into a halt.

I grunted to myself out of the pain of whiplash, while I heard the driver comment," It's big! It's big!"

With that Optimus Prime's hand grabbed the top of the car, pulling us up into the air.

"Get down!" Jack shouted, as he hunched forward, pushing me down with him, as the car began to sway back and forth.

"Shift your weigh to the front," shouted Sam, causing the car to tilt forward and the roof to be smashed, causing us to instantly drop down to the ground.

As Jack, Mikaela, Sam, and I looked up; we all breathed a sigh of relief, while the men in front, and around us, starred up at the robots in shock.

"You A-holes are in trouble now." Sam began to tease," Gentlemen, I want to introduce you to my friend, Optimus Prime."

"Taking the children was a bad move," Ace stepped forward next to Optimus Prime.

Suddenly all the men in black suites surrounded us ready to fire and aim at all the robots.

"Autobots," Optimus Prime began," relieve them of their weapons."

Instantly the men around began to freak out, as the Autobots approached them.

"Freeze," shouted Ironhide, pointing cannons towards the men.

"Whoa!" shouted several guys around us, while Jazz grilled," Give me those!" This instantly pulled the guns out of their hands.

Once every man was disarmed, Optimus Prime hunched down and looked the head man and our drivers directly in the face.

"Hi, there."

Optimus Prime glanced him up and down, before commenting," 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 yell you I can't communicate with you."

"Get out of the car," growled Optimus Prime.

"All right!" nervously breathed the head man, as he began getting out of the car.

Jack gave the door next to us a harsh kick, causing it to fly open. But it was still going to be hard for me to get out of the car, at the angle I was sitting in, and my hands cuffed behind my back.

"Ace," Jack shouted," we need a little help here."

Gently I felt Ace's cold metal hands wrap around me, and placed me down upon the ground next to Mikaela and Sam.

As I stood there, watching Jack jump out of the car and run over to me, Mikaela undid her handcuffs then Sam's. But Sam roughly commented," You're good with handcuffs, too, now, huh?"

"You weren't supposed to hear all that," Mikaela sadly whispered, as Sam pulled his hands free.

"Mikaela, keys," Jack stood next to me, with his own hands still behind his back.

Mikaela walked over to Jack, and quickly undid his cuffs, before handing him the keys, as she walked back over by Sam.

"And what is this I was hearing about you and my sister getting busy," Sam growled, looking at Jack and I, as Jack took off my cuffs, which had made my wrists raw.

"Sam-" Mikaela began in defense, while Sam only growled over her," I don't want you near my little sister, got it?"

"Sam, cool it," I hissed, while Jack gently rubbed my wrists, as he stood behind me.

"Sam," Mikaela brought his attention back to her," I have a record because I wouldn't turn my dad in, and Jack had to make money for my aunt after my uncle died."

"Sam, when have you had to sacrifice anything in your prefect little life," Jack continued holding my hand, as he stepped up next to me.

Sam just stood there in shock, before he marched off to the head guy. Jack followed closely behind him, letting go of my hand.

I looked over at Mikaela, and whispered," Sorry about Sam."

She smiled back at me, and whispered," It's alright. Anyways watching you and Jack makes up for it, more than enough."

I smiled and nodded, while Mikaela and I walked over to the boys, while I over heard Jack growl, towering over the head man," What's your name? Answer me!"

"Sector Seven Agent Reggie Simmons," answered the man, glaring at Jack.

"What is Sector Seven?" Sam asked.

Reggie scowled and corrected," I'm the one who asks questions around here. Not you, young man!"

"How did you know about the aliens?" Mikaela quizzed.

"Where did you take Ron and Judy?" I further inquired, crossing my arms.

Reggie frowned and shouted back," I am not at liberty to discuss it."

"No?" Jack reached into Reggie's jacket pocket, and pulled out his badge.

"Hey, you touch me that's a federal offense," announced Reggie.

Jack boyishly grinned and held it up, while teasing," Do-whatever-you-want-and-get-away-with-it badge, right?"

Reggie rolled his eyes," Yeah, brave now all of a sudden, with your girlfriend's big aliens friends standing over there."

Jack shook his head childishly, before handing Sam over the badge. "Keep it kid. You may need it."

Sam happily smiled and nodded, while he held up the badge like a police officer and asked," Where is Sector Seven?"

"Wouldn't you like to know," groaned Reggie.

Suddenly something smacked into Reggie's hand, only to be quickly followed by oil like liquid beginning poured down his face.

Jack chuckled and gave a thumb up to Bumble Bee, who was technically urinating all over him.

"Bumble Bee, stop lubricating the man," Optimus Prime chided, causing Bumble Bee to stop leaking his oil.

"Well," Sam grinned," since your not going to tell us, hand over your handcuffs, all of them."
"Why?" Reggie asked.

"Just do what the man says," Jack grinned stepping up next to Sam.

Jack then looked back at Mikaela and I, while saying," You two go get the cuffs from everyone else, while Sam and I have a little talk with Reggie here."

Mikaela and I nodded, gathering up all the handcuffs, but it wasn't until Mikaela and I stepped back by Ace, that we saw Jack and Sam handcuffing the agents together into a line.

"Mikaela, come over here and do the honors," Jack waved Mikaela over back to them, while I sat back and watched Mikaela and Reggie.

"All right, tough guy, take it off."

"What are you talking about?" Reggie inquired.

Mikaela scowled and commanded," Your clothes, all of it, off."

"For what?"

"For threatening my dad and Jack," Mikaela explained.

Reggie took off his clothes as he said," Little lady, this is the beginning of the end of your life. You're a criminal. Let's face facts. It's in your gene pool."

Mikaela and Jack rolled there eyes, while Reggie stood there in his boxers.

Mikaela tried to hide her smirk at his stupid boxers," Those are nice. Now get behind the pole."

"This is such a felony, what you're doing," the driver commented, only to be ignored, as Jack handcuffed Reggie to the driver and to the pole.

"I will hunt you down, okay?"

"He'll hunt you down," second the driver.

Jack rolled his eyes, and chuckled," Whatever, man."

"Without any remorse!" Reggie shouted again, as Mikaela, Sam, and Jack began walking away.
