A.N I do not own Transformers
Sam had to get ready for the next day and make her lunch. Today's lunch would be an oldy, but goody. The said goody is apricot salad with grilled chicken. When she came in, sickbay was abandoned with no one to be found. However, Sam found Ratchet.
"Ratchet, where is Dr. Porter?"
"He walked off the job. Apparently, you and Nick inconvenienced him by going on the latest mission. He knew what he was getting into when he signed up for this place. Something seems to be bothering you."
"On the way back from the mission, I received an email from Mikaela. Ron and Judy Witwicky have been arrested by the FBI. I was kidnaped and they tore me from my biological mother's body while she was still living.
I have been doing research into the Witwickys. I think I found a motive of why they would do something like this. They had a daughter, Victoria who died a year before I was born. The death certificate said SIDS but I think it might be something more. I did a background check on Ron Witwicky and he had been charged with attempted murder of a minor. The charges were dropped because of insufficient evidence. I would not be surprised if he murdered Victoria."
Ratchet began to look through every database for a Victoria Witwicky who is a year older than Samantha. Then he found it, Victoria's medical records. He saw bruises all of the sparkling's body from the autopsy photos. He then looked at her medical records. Victoria had been hospitalized frequently for respiratory and cardiac problems during her six months of life.
"I think you are right, Ron and Judy Witwicky are responsible for the death of Victoria Witwicky.
Samantha, your apathy towards the Witwickys and not wanting to know anything about your biological creatores bothered me and I did some research.
No baby girl was found in around the time you were born out in the snow and in a hospital parking lot. However, there were several baby girls who were reported missing from the area around the time you were born. There is only one that is unaccounted for, it's you."
"Yea, that's what I figured and I am glad they are in FBI custody. Apparently, this will be a death penalty case. I also learned why the two looked like every blood vessel was going to burst in their eyes when they found out that I had that NROTC scholarship, Ron Witwicky is a draft dodger."
Ratchet could not agree more about being glad Ron and Judy Witwicky being in custody. If a sparkling was torn from the spark of a fem, the consequences would be death to the offender on Cybertron.
"Samantha, what about the rest of your family; the family that lost you all those years ago."
"Not yet, I will have to face them but not yet. We have enough of a problem with a potential pandemic on our hands. I believe the FBI will be able to tell them that I am alive and serving in the military."
Even though Ratchet did not like it, Sam is right. The Michaelsons will have to take a back seat because the human race is in more danger than ever that Samantha is alive and serving in the military should help them a little.
Zack Michaelson needed to see Samantha because of his stitches, they are extremely itchy. He heard the conversation between Sam and Ratchet. He wanted to rush in and tell her everything but knew it would be a bad idea. She is right, it has put him, his father, and everyone else at ease knowing Sam is alive and serving in the navy.
Sam came out and she nearly bumped into him. "Zack, how can I help you?"
"Sam, I am going out of my mind with the itch from the stitches. I have taken Benadryl and it has not helped."
"Take a seat, sometimes wounds heal sooner rather than later."
Sam took a look and sighed. "Well, it looks I can take out ten out of the twenty stitches. It's not quite healed."
Sam went to get what she needed to take the stitches out. "Ow, that hurt. I thought you PAs are like nurses with T…"
Zack did not get to finish. "Zack, I am not a nurse."
"Fair enough, so is it true about those jarheads at Balboa? I know the two dip shits who sat on the grill and they were drunk."
"Yes, it is true. It was rather entertaining to have to watch them explain to medics, doctors, and nurses how that happened. What I really would have loved is a front row seat to have to watch them explain to their c.o. on how and why this happened. So what do you know about the two dip shits?"
"I was a medic before I became a sniper for the SEALs and I was in a marine unit. I was on leave from NEST and was visiting them. Now this Admiral Hefford that Vlad is going to see, do you think Vlad will have a problem with him?"
"Nah, Admiral Hefford receives requests for consults from other branches all of the time. It's a shame Rydholm and Jonsson could not join him there if you fuck up anything on an orthopedic level; he is the one you want to see. He is also a miracle worker in trauma."
Zack needed to open a door with his baby sister and he had an idea. "I heard you speak to Ratchet about your so-called parents. I was not spying but I think you need to hear me out on this. My mother was murdered when I was nine. My sister was taken that day. I know you want to focus on a possible pandemic and saving the world again, but I would think that there would be people who are your blood family would want to know that you are more than alive. What about Victoria?"
"Victoria Witwicky is my adoptive older sister who died a year before I was born. She lived to be only six months old. She was hospitalized frequently for cardiac and respiratory problems. The death certificate said SIDS but Ratchet found out through his search that she was covered in bruises. He thinks she was murdered and the Witwickys is the prime suspect. I am working on a side case to get Victoria's death to be investigated and hopefully get them convicted of her death."
Zack was horrified, a baby; a baby was murdered by the same monsters that killed his mother and robbed him of his little sister.
"Sam, do you know where they lived when she died?"
"Anoka, Minnesota"
Zack went white. That is the town he lived in until a year after his mother died. His father decided to move Elk River because he could not bear to stay in Anoka. He could not bear it either, too much pain. However he had someone who can help, his aunt Jessie is a detective there. Aunt Jessie would be eager to help. She would not be able to investigate officially because her sister-in-law was murdered and her niece kidnaped by the Witwickys but would be able to hand it off to another detective.
"Sam, I know someone who could get Victoria's death investigated. My aunt is a detective for the Anoka police. She would not be able to investigate because of a conflict of interest but she can easily get it handed over to another detective. From what it sounds like, they claimed a third victim."
Victoria Witwicky became his unofficial baby sister and the next question, how did the Witwickys know his mother was pregnant with a girl? He then realized he made a mistake, he let something slip and this is not how he wanted it to go. He knew after what the Witwickys put her through after Mission City was bad, but…
"Zack, what do you know because I do not believe in coincidences?"
"Oh shit, this is not how I wanted to go. The Witwickys is the reason why my mother is dead and why my sister has been missing for twenty-four years. You are the baby that was ripped from me or should I say our mother's body."
Now Sam was white. "The fuck? Are you sure?"
"Positive and what are we going to do about everyone here? Lennox will suspect something. I know Doc Thompson is technically your c.o."
"Shit, I don't know. I think we need to do research about siblings serving in the same unit. However, for right now we carry on as usual."
Zack had to agree because it is the only thing that can be done. Tonight he will put a call into his father and his aunt. Jessie will want to know about the late Victoria Witwicky and his father will want to know as much as possible about Sam. He knew his father and grandparents would want to know about Victoria as well.
