The room was pitch black except for the small amount of light allowed in from the lamp above the chains. He was suspended in the air by his arms and was hanging about 8 feet off the ground, far enough where if he were to fall he would break something. Aiden didn't mean to be captured but it always seemed to be something that was constantly happening. Back in Iraq he was captured by the enemy and tortured. The memories still burned fresh into his mind and left a vivid pain in his chest every time he thought about it. This time though, everything was a lot more risky and people's lives were on the line. He didn't know what the Decepticons wanted but he knew that they wanted something to do with the location of the base. He heard the loud metallic footstep of some unknown being walking towards where he was being held. The door slid open and a slender figure stepped in and stood in front of him. "Hello there fleshling," the voice said.
"Oh god not a rapist," Aiden replied.
"Why you insignificant little…," he yelled and stabbed him with a rod.
Electricity shot through his body and made him wriggle away in pain. Whatever it was that he had just been jabbed with hurt like hell. When the rod was taken away he heaved in air and struggled to break free of the chains. "Who are you…?"
"I am Starscream Decepticon Second in Command. You must be Aiden James Hallam Second in Command for the humans am I correct?"
"What do you want with me?"
"I will be asking the questions here! Now tell me the location of the Autobot base."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You know exactly what I'm talking about or do you want to have another taste of this," he held up the electric rod again almost touching his skin.
He tried to back away but the chains around his arms tightened as Starscream grabbed the chains and pulled him to his optic level, "I don't know what you're talking about." He screamed as the rod was thrust deeper into his skin to the point where the end punctured it. Fresh, warm blood dripped slowly down his side and he screamed even louder.
Starscream withdrew the rod and smiled, "I can do this all day flesh bag. Now tell me what I want to know."
"That's what the girls say all the time," he smirked.
Starscream rolled his optics, "human mating procedures are so disgusting."
"No they're sexy."
~A FEW HOURS LATER~
Ironhide was pacing around the central hub of the Autobot base in deep concentration. The humans dodged his gigantic feet as they hurried to do their jobs. The base was alive with the news of Aiden's capture and most likely torture. Not only was Ironhide upset but he was worried for Aiden's life and his safety. Humans were very weak and fragile as it is but when you add heavy metal swords, guns, and other weapons, they don't even stand a chance. Sure the weapons that they have at their disposal could kill a Decepticon but even so it takes a lot of fire power and determination. He needed to act now or else Aiden would be hurt and may not recover. That was when he hatched a plan and he knew that Prime would be beyond pissed when he got back.
