Rushing out Optimus almost collided with Will and Epps.
"Optimus is everything alright?" Will asked him with concern in his voice.
"No, do you know where Sandy went?" Optimus asked.
"No" Will lied.
"You just told me few minutes ago that Sandy went to the club where she worked when I asked you" Epps said.
"Shut up… " Will quietly whispered to Epps.
Finding out where Sandy is Optimus rushed to the club leaving Will and Epps alone; Will turned to Epps.
"What….?" Epps said confused.
"I'm going to kick your ass."
"What…why? "
"Because you told him where she is."
"And that is bad because…."
"Because she is with Adam."
"Crap."
"Yeah crap" Will said angrily.

At the club
"Where is she? " Optimus said entering the club.
"Where is who?" Tony asked.
"Where is Sandy?"
"I don't know" Tony lied.
"Don't lie to me I know she is here" Optimus said, if anything he hated more than Decepticons it was when someone is lying.
"I'm telling you she is not here" Tony said trying to calm him down by putting his hand on Optimus shoulder.
"Don't touch me" Optimus said.
At that moment Sandy entered the club with an older man.
"Sandy!" Optimus yelled.
'Oh crap' Sandy thought to herself stopping.
"Who is this?" Optimus asked pointing to a man standing next to her.
"I can explain" she quickly said.
"You better" he said furious and then he took a good look at the man who stood next to her; the man looked familiar to him as if he had already seen him
somewhere and then it hit him.
(Flashback)
At the Autobot base
"Oh Optimus you're finally awake; I was beginning to wonder when you'd come around" a male voice said.
Optimus focused his attention forward, and saw a dark figure of a man standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Optimus asked.
"Oh how rude of me not to introduce myself; my name is Adam" a man said as he approached closer to Optimus.
"Where am I?"
"In a cell where else."
"Why?"
"You fulfilled your purpose; the Earth is safe and we don't need you and your Autobots anymore."
"Then let us go and we will leave Earth peacefully."
"You didn't let me finish; we don't need you but we need your bodies."
"For what?"
"In case you change your mind and refuse to leave Earth peacefully."
"You have my word."
"Maybe, but how can I be sure you aren't going to change your mind?"
"How could you do that to us after all we've done to help you?" Optimus asked with pain in his voice.
"Don't get me wrong but you're just a machine; and that's what we do with machines here on Earth. When they fulfill they purpose we get rid of them" Adam said.
"So that's all are we for you just the machines?" Optimus asked him.
"And what did you think, that humans and machines could be "friends"; come on you know that that is not possible."
(End of the flashback)
"YOU!" Optimus said grabbing Adam by the throat and pinning him against the wall.
"Wait…. Wait….. I can explain" Adam said struggling to get some air.
"You and your government are the reason why my team and I are in human bodies" Optimus said through gritted teeth.
"This is all a big misunderstanding" Adam tried to explain.
"Oh really?"
"Let me explain."
"No" he said throwing Adam across the room.
Tony quickly ran up to Adam to help him to his feet.
"Optimus listen to me this is not what you think" Sandy said.
"AND YOU!…. " Optimus yelled turning to Sandy, "You knew all this time and did not tell me?" he said.
"I tried to tell you but…. "Sandy started.
"BUT WHAT "! he yelled and then he realized "You're one of them; that's why you let me stay in your apartment even though you know I have no money to pay
you."
"No it's not true I found out later who you really are."
"ENOUGH!"
Sandy fell silent, she had never seen him this mad.
Frankie heard the commotion from his office and went down to see what's going on.
"What's going on here?" Frankie asked.
"None of your business human" Optimus said looking at him.
"It is my business, now calm down or leave the club" Frankie said.
"I'm going" Optimus said turning and starting to walk toward the door.
"Optimus wait!" Sandy yelled and ran after him trying to stop him.
After a while she was able to catch up with him and to stop him by grabbing his arm, but what she did not expect was that he would turn around and grabbed
her wrist twisting it; Sandy yelped in pain.
"Don't you ever and I truly mean EVER touch me again" he said with disgust in his voice.
"Please you are hurting me" Sandy said trying to free her hand from his grip but without success.
"Good now you know how I fell" he said as he let her hand go.
Sandy struggled to hold back the tears from running down her face.
"Please forgive me…" she whispered.
"It's too late" he said as he turned away from her and began to walk away.
Sandy fell to her knees, tears were running down her cheeks; she started pounding her fists against her thighs; she opened her mouth and screamed like an
injured animal. Hearing her scream Adam, Tony and Frankie run out only to find her on her knees sobbing.
Tony slowly approached Sandy; he knelt beside her and put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it; Sandy's hand came up, covered his and squeezed back.
"I'm sorry kiddo" he whispered to her.
Sandy turned to Tony to look at him she smiled, but it was a sad small smile.
"I know me too" she quietly said.
"Come on lets go inside" he said as he wrap his arms around her helping her to her feet.
As they entered the club none of them even noticed a man who was standing by and watching them.
'So Josh lied, Optimus and Sandy are alive but not for long' the man thought to himself.
