The red Aston Martin didn't talk in all the forest way. He just guided the scout out of the mountainous area, trying to follow the shortest road, shooing other drivers as they went by. They were near the motorway. They would soon enter in, and they would be calmer... In theory.

They finally made it into the flat way, with a velocity of 85 mi/h. They did had difficulties to drive, since everyone drove slower than them. "Argh, I cannot make this fleshies give us some space!" The 'Con complained.

"Bumblebee, the Agent Fowler can." The kid whispered to his friend. "He can free the way for us."

*You right, Raf, but we cannot contact him.* The scout replied softly.

"But he can." Rafael pointed the red car by their side. "Maybe he has to drive away to call, but he can."

*Raf, you're a genius!* Bumblebee beeped. *Knockout, the special Agent Fowler can free the way, but we cannot contact him. On the contrary, you can.*

"K. Gimme the link." The Aston Martin speeded up once he got it, and called the Autobot base. "Autobot base Outpost Omega One, here Knockout. Can anyone receive me?"

At the base, everyone came to see what was that beep on Ratchet's computer. That was strange. They had received Starscream's messages sometimes, when he was a deserter and he was willing to interchange information, but that one was different. It was a direct comm. link. and no other than the Decepticon Knockout. Ratchet was sure that it had something to do with the disappearance of Bumblebee and Rafael.

Optimus walked to the front, and answered. "Here Optimus Prime, we receive you clearly."

"We do not have time to lose, so just let me talk." The 'Con hurried. "Bumblebee is in a situation. We are trying to solve it, but it's quite impossible since there are too many humans around. We require the assistance of the Special Agent Fow... Flow... Flower."

"Wait a sec, what kind of situation are you talking about, Knockout?" Arcee demanded.

"Ugh. I think you don't get the idea. This is urgent!" He shouted in desperation. "Bumblebee is carrying an speed bomb, courtesy of Starscream, and he had already reached the 100 mi/h. I don't give him much more than a human hours. He's getting tired, and if he doesn't keep accelerating, he and his human friend will be soon fireworks, plus all the fleshies around. So now if you are so kind, would you pass me the paunchy one or not?"

"First of all, I'm Fowler, and no Flower. And secondly, I'm not paunchy." William had been hearing the conversation. "What do you want, 'Con?"

"See my coordinates on the screen? I need you to free the entire motorway for us, if not, there will be a lot of victims. And don't send any kind of support." Knockout explained. "By the way, Bumblebee cannot contact you, neither can Raf, so I'll be the one talking to you. Don't try to call them, they have their comm. links deactivated."

William walked some steps away and talked in the phone for some minutes. There was a long silence until Fowler talked again. "Done. You should notice there's less traffic. Soon, you will have no one in your way."

"Thank you." The 'Con replied. "I'll keep you informed."
