"It's quiet, ey?"
A chuckle. "Was quiet"
Now silence as the two operators were sitting in the truck on the side of the road on the sandy dirt side to be exact, a helmet placed on the dashboard on the passengers side. One of the Operators tapped his foot anxiously in a 'I'm itching for some action' kind of anxious. He turned to his fellow Aussie, speaking once again. "I mean, really really, quiet-"
Tori Tallyo Fairous otherwise known as Gridlock patted him on the shoulder to quiet him down. "Max, maybe you should take a stretch outside the truck?" she suggested.
Max Goose, nicknamed Mozzie hummed, taking her advice he put the helmet back onto his head and hopped out the truck, walking around to the front he lifted his arms above his head and stretched. "Ah yeah, thats definitely better" he gave Gridlock a thumbs up, she gave him one back turning to watch a red Aston Martin One-77 drive by slowly before speeding up in the direction of the town that had been nearby, Jasper. She remembered, a nice name for a town. Gridlock hummed paying no mind to it watching as Mozzie got onto his dirt bike and swayed back and forth boredly. She was half sure he had some sort of ADHD. "What are we doing out here again?" the Aussie looked back at his partner as he asked the question.
"Taking a break" Gridlock responded, leaning back in her seat, they had been travelling by both truck and Dirt bike for thousands of miles, from Colorado to Navada by vehicle. Which in hindsight it would've been better to take an aircraft to their needed location. "And Investigating Jasper, rumors of the White masks-" The Terrorist group they all know and love. "Being sighted in the town."
"And they haven't done anything yet?"
"It's just rumors from what I know so they haven't" At least she didn't think so. Mozzie tapped his foot on the dirty sand before clicking some up, creating a small dust or sand cloud.
"Than what are we waiting for? Let's go to this town already!" Definitely an inpatient man. Chuckling a bit Gridlock started up her truck.
"I suppose nothing, shall we roll out?" She asked Jokingly, knowing that the truck would need to refill at the nearest gas station which was probably in the town.
"Hell yeah!" Max started up his dirt bike, kicking up the stand he revved it up a few times before taking off down the road with a signature. "WHOO!" shaking her head Tori followed after him, going at a decent speed as to not run out of gas any quicker.
To a town they go, Gridlock watched Mozzie lift one of his arms and swung it around excitedly and to be completely honest he wasn't the only one itching for some excitement. "Crazy" She mumbled to himself keeping an eye on the road.
Jasper, Nevada
03:59 hours
The journey to the town had been short and easy, and so was finding the gas station. Gridlock refilled the gas tank as Mozzie had headed into the small store to buy some snacks, to which Tori had asked for some Nachos. She looked over at some high schoolers across the street eyeing Mozzies dirt bike, and if she was then she'd probably do the same thing. Turning back she put the gas pump back where it needed to be and than looked over at Max when he walked out the store, Nacho and snacks galore in that one bag. "Got a bit much there didn't ya?"
"Naw mate, I got the right amount" He slung the bag over his shoulder as he walked over. "Perfect for a steak out wouldn't you say Tori?" he put the bag of snacks into the passengers seat of the truck through the window before making his way over to his dirt bike. "Are we supposed to check into a hotel by the way?"
"Yeah, there's one somewhere in this town that has a reservation for us, need to thank Harry for that later" Gridlock walked to the drivers side of the vehicle as Mozzie hopped onto his dirt bike. "We'll go check ourselves in now"
"Or you check us in and I'll do some investigating" Max suggested, raiding a finger, Gridlock couldn't tell but he was probably grinning beneath that helmet. "That sound good?"
Tori sighed and waved at him to move on. "Go ahead, I'll meet you near KO Burger in an hour" she suggested, having already studied the map of the town. Mozzie messed with the sunglasses on his face and readjusted his helmet.
"Dumb question, Where is KO Burger?"
"Hard to miss, you'll probably find it if you're going to be exploring this place." She responded, than turned the keys to start the engine. "Or just ask someone who already lived here. Sound simple?"
"Copy that Grid, I'll be on my way now" And than the male Aussie was off, Gridlock watched him disappear down the street before backing out of the parking lot and driving out onto the street down to the hotel they needed to stay in for this investigation.
Somewhere in Jasper

Mozzie stopped his dirt bike in front of the highschool, looking up at it and took note of some students coming out of the building, possibly having to had stayed after. He looked around for anyone that might've been suspicious but all he saw was students and Vehicles, with a sigh he was about to leave when an excited voice spoke up. "Oh my god" There was a dramatic pause as Max looked behind himself at whoever spoke. "Sweet bike dude!" The girl seemed normal enough, he found the plushies hanging from her waist a bit cute.
"Thanks kid" Mozzie responded, leaning back a bit he noticed the green jeep the teen leaned out of, her body halfway out the window. Quite dangerously so, he wasn't planning on catching her if she fell either. "You have a nice ride too" he gave her a thumbs up.
"But yours is soooo much cooler- No offense to you though, wait you sound Australian, are you from Australia?" Before he could respond she continued on with her next question. "How fast is it? The bike I mean"
"I- Uh yes I'm from Australia" Than he looked down at his dirt bike. "And around 188 miles per hour is the fastest I've ever gone on this thing before" Responded the Operator. "Haven't tried going any faster, what's your name kid?"
"Miko Nakadai! You?"
"For now call me Mozzie" Max responded, better to give the kid his nickname for now than his actual name, though Max was a bit easier to say... logically.
"Mozzie? Is that a nickname" Oop, he's been figured out. Mozzie gave Miko a nod in response and she nodded. "Sweet dude" She turned to look at something in the car before turning back to Mozzie. "Nice talking to you but I gotta go, Chow!" Than she slid back into the passengers seat of the jeep and it drove off.
Blinking in confusion he thought he might be seeing things, but did that vehicle just drive away with no driver? Still confused he started up his dirt bike and made his way down the road and to where he remembered seeing KO Burger when he had drove by it earlier. "Strange kid" He mumbled to himself.

Gridlock stretched as she made it into her hotel room, having two sets of room keys, on for her and the other for Max. Two separate rooms for each of them. Nodding a bit she placed them in her pockets before walking to look out the room, eyeing her surroundings. Why would the White Masks target this nice little town, why not some big corporation down in New York or Tokyo. What's so special about this small town. Shaking her head she walked out the hotel room, closing the door behind herself she made her way out the door. But as she made her way to the truck she noticed the parked red Aston Martin from before once again paying no mind to it she got in her truck and going to the restaurant she knew as KO Burger.
Once arriving at her needed location she parked the truck and than got out, walking inside and ordering some food, going back out to eat at one of the outside tables while she waited for Mozzie, around ten minutes of awaiting she noticed his Dirt bike pull up besides her truck. He hopped off and than jumped over the railings before plopping down in the seat in front of her. "Nice, fries" he took off his helmet, placing it to the side he picked up a fry and took a bite. "So, what are we doing here?"
"Eating."
"That, and?"
Gridlock rolled her shoulders. "We're going to investigate some buildings, there's a couple warehouses a little outside the town that might be a good hideout for our enemies." Than she added, grabbing another fry. "Jäger and Glaz are also supposed to be meeting up here tomorrow at 12:30 PM"
"Got it, where do we start first?"
Gridlock cleared her throat before leaning forward. "Right here" she said causing her partner to raise a brow in confusion. "There was a note with a riddle of sorts, it spoke of a bomb in a location where 'People go to stuff their faces with food but not at home, with money they use to buy' that sounds like a restaurant right?"
"Not going to lie but that riddle sounds dumb and easy to figure out" Mozzie said, tapping his foot. "Someone must've come up with it on the spot" he looked around. "I don't really see anything out of the ordinary here..."
"I do?"
"Where"
Gridlock reached over and wiped some ketchup off his shoulder woth a napkin. "Don't want that to stain now do we?" she said than leaned back. "Other than that I don't see anything"
Mozzie blinked than let out a sigh. "Damn" he mumbled, than rolled his shoulders. "Thanks though"
"You're welcome"
Unknown location

Agent Fowler stood on the catwalk of the hidden base for the Autobots, watching as Bulkhead drove up, let Miko out and than shifted back. "Sorry we're late" Miko said, running up the steps. "Stopped to talk with this cool guy and his dirt bike, And get this he was Australian!"
"That's nice Miko" Jack commented dryly as he sat on the couch, Raf playing the racing game. Miko caught notice of the game and sat down.
"Move over" She sat, squeezing in-between them. "And hand me a remote, I wanna play!" Raf looked over and than handed her a remote, smiling a bit when she took it and began mashing buttons.
Agent Fowler turned his attention to Bulkhead. "Did you notice anything suspicious in town at all?" he asked, crossing his arms.
Confused by the question Bulkhead looked over at the Agent. "Not really, nothing out of the usual why do you ask?"
"There's been rumors of a terrorist group in the area" Agent Fowler continued, causing some of the bots to look over at him. "They've been known for their bomb threats and many other activities I'd rather not get into the details with. If you see anyone with a white mask with weapons on them report it to me immediately"
"Terrorist group? Should we worry about something like that?" Arcee spoke up, walking over to the catwalk, her answer was responded to with a shake of the Agents head.
"No, don't even get involved with them. I don't need you bots be known their targets." Unless they already were, he didn't know. "Just focus on the Decepticons. They already sent a special task force to deal with the situation"
"What if the Cons get involved?" Bulkhead spoke up. "Will we have to get involved too?" Agent Fowler looked over at Bulkhead.
"We'll see if that happens, for now don't get involved with the Rainbow Operatives or the White Masks" he then gave a nod to Optimus who has been silent the whole time before walking to the elevator and left.
"A terrorist group? Here in Jasper?" Raf spoke up from his spot on the couch after Fowler left. "That's kinda scary...I wonder what they're gonna do here?"
"Hopefully they'll get caught before they do anything" Jack added, looking over at her. "Fowler said they sent special task force to deal with it"
"Shouldn't you lot be focusing on homework?" Ratchet retorted, looking away from his computer screens to stare at the three teens, unluckily Miko gave him a big grin.
"It's friday Grumpy, we don't get no homework!"
"Oh joy..."
