Chapter Three

Attinger and Joyce watched as Optimus was electrocuted multiple times in different places. The action caused Optimus to scream out in pain and convulse, his eyes landed on the two humans Attinger and Joyce.

He coughed as bright blue liquid bubbled out of his mouth, Optimus tried to speak but was having trouble.

"P...Please….. why are you doing this? I have not harmed any of you, please let me go, please….." Optimus begged as neither Attinger nor Joyce said anything.

"I thought Savoy wanted to watch some of these experiments?" Joyce asked.

"He did," Attinger answered.

"Then shouldn't he be present?" Joyce asked.

Attinger laughed.

Attinger had his mind going in all different directions Savoy was the perfect killing machine now because of what he believed happened. They had faked footage of Optimus Prime killing Savoy's sister, so the man wanted revenge and wanted Optimus to have a rather slow and agonizing death from all the tortures and experiments.

Attinger smirked as he pulled his cellphone out, and called Savoy's cellphone.

-O-

Savoy had his arm around Becca's body when he had been woken up by his cell phone. He turned over and reached for the phone, and he heard Attinger's voice telling him they would be doing extensive experiments on Optimus today.

Savoy did want to watch this, his eyes went to Becca then, he wanted to bring her with him. He knew maybe it was a risk, but if she was anything like him, she might just enjoy it.

He asked Attinger if he had a problem with it, and Attinger did okay it, so he smirked and told him they would be there in a bit. He reached over and caressed Becca's body and kissed her neck.

"Morning," Becca whispered.

"Morning honey," he said as he kissed her seductively.

"Mmmm, love your kisses," she whispered.

"I have to go to work but I wanted to take you with me, and then later I can drop you off at work, sound good?" he asked.

"Sure, alright. I need to take a shower and grab something to eat and we can go, okay?" she said.

"I can pick us up something on the way down," Savoy said as she frowned.

"Such as donuts from Dunkin Donuts and coffee," he said with a sexy smirk.

"Oh Savoy, come on….." she started to complain.

"Oh please, don't worry about calories you silly girl, your body is fine," Savoy said.

"Alright," Becca said as Savoy headed downstairs for a minute.

-Oooo-

KSI headquarters….

"She's with me," Savoy said, flashing his badge to one of the guards. "Come along, Doll."

Becca nodded, going with Savoy to an elevator. They went down to the bottom level. They headed into an empty lab, going up onto a platform that had a private room that had a few chairs and a couch. In front of the furniture was a coffee table with an ashtray.

"So, this is where you work?" Becca asked.

"Yeah," said Savoy, taking a seat on the couch. He took out a cigarette, lighting it.

Becca sat in his lap, taking his cigarette and taking a few puffs from it. She looked around the lab. She went to the railing, leaning on it as she looked closer at where her boyfriend worked.

"This is so cool," Becca said.

Savoy's phone buzzed again, alerting him of a call. He groaned and answered it, listening to his boss.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way," said Savoy.

He hung up, putting his phone back into his pocket.

"Come on doll. The real thing is in the lab next door."

"Okay," Becca said.

Savoy hooked an arm around her shoulders, taking her next door. Becca gasped, seeing the giant being in so much pain. She could see what appeared to be tears marking his face. Savoy pulled her over to the raised platform that was similar to the one in the other lab. Joyce and Attinger looked to see Savoy enter.

"About time you got here," Attinger said.

"I would say sorry, but I'm not," said Savoy.

"Well, you're here now," said Joyce. "And who is this lovely lady?"

"Becca Sanders, my girlfriend," said Savoy.

"I wasn't aware you had a partner," said Attinger.

"I've been after this little lady for a while and finally got her. I went out actually for a drink in victory for catching Optimus Prime," said Savoy.

"A pleasure to meet you both," said Becca.

"How far are we?" Savoy asked.

"Not too far. Just shocking him. He's been coughing up his lifeblood too," said Attinger.

Savoy turned his gaze to the Prime, seeing the machines send many thousand volts of electricity through him. Becca watched as well, now realizing what her new boyfriend was now involved in. Her heart ached and her stomach churned at seeing this mechanical being hurting. She could tell Savoy, Attinger, and Joyce were enjoying it. But she wasn't. It made her sad, but also urged her to help Optimus out of this nightmare.

The torture went on for another few hours before they stopped. Becca checked the time, telling Savoy she needed to go to work. Savoy nodded, taking her hand and leading her out of the lab. Becca looked back at Optimus, their eyes meeting. Becca looked sad, which surprised Optimus. Why would a human feel sorry for him?

Becca was silent on the way to the bar. Savoy took notice, not sure what was up. Was she feeling sick? Was she okay?

"Hey Doll, you wanna stay home today?" Savoy asked.

"No. I need the money. I'll go in tonight," said Becca, giving him a half-faked smile.

Savoy pulled up in front of the bar.

"Thanks. See you tonight?"

"I'll come to pick you up," said Savoy.

He leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"I love you."

Becca was hesitant on saying the words at first, she barely knew this guy. She cared about him yes, but she had no idea he was so cruel.

"I love ya too," Becca finally said.

She grabbed her bag and got out, going inside.

Savoy watched her leave, sighing. He wasn't sure what was wrong with her. She wasn't this quiet in all the times he had known her. So, something was bothering her. And he would find out what.
