*Chapter 5: Busted*

The teens sat quietly in the back of the black SUV, handcuffed. Jack couldn't believe this is happening. He was told that Sam's parents were taken away as well, and he is worried about his mother. June doesn't know anything about the alien robots either. Agent Simmons turned to the teens, but focused on Sam.

"So, LadiesMan217. That's your eBay username, right?" He asked. Sam blushed a bit when Mikaela looked at him in disbelief.

"Yeah, but you know, it's a typo and I ran with it." Sam replied. Simmons took out Sam's phone and play the voice of Sam's from the other night when his car was transformed along with Jack's car.

"That's you, right?" Simmons asked.

"Yeah, sounds like LadiesMan." Mikaela said.

"Last night at the station, you told an officer your car transformed." Simmons said to Sam. "Enlighten me."

"Our cars were stolen." Jack spoke to help his neighbor. "But it's fine now, we got them back."

"They came back." Sam added. Jack nudged him by the shoulder to keep him quiet about the secret.

"Not by themselves." Jack quickly said with a nervous smile. "They wouldn't do that, because that would be crazy!" He started to laugh awkwardly. Sam and Mikaela laughed along as Simmons joined in. But Simmons stopped and turn serious again.

"So, what do you kids know about the aliens?"

"Aliens? Like E.T.?" Sam asked with a chuckle.

"It's a urban legend." Mikaela butted in. Jack remained quiet at this one. He looked out the window, hoping this will be over or the Autobots will save them by not harming humans. He continues to hear Simmons arguing with Sam and Mikaela, and claimed that Mikaela is a criminal for stealing cars and her dad on parole.
Then, the car came to a screeching halt and they all jerk forward. The windows broke, and large metal hands reach in and tore off the hood of the car. Everyone looked up, blinded by the light as red and blue legs stood strong in front. Jack looked up to see Optimus turn off the lights and Orionna stood next to him.

"You're all in trouble now." Sam spoke looking at Simmons and his friend.

"Gentlemen, I'd like for you to meet our friend, Optimus Prime." Jack said. "And his daughter, Orionna." The female Autobot smiled down at him. Optimus loomed over as his blue optics glow.

"Taking the children was a bad move." He spoke. "Autobots, relieve them of their weapons." Behind everyone, the Autobots arrived. Ironhide got his cannons out as Jazz took the weapons. Optimus kneeled down to face Simmons with a hard look.

"Hi there." Simmons spoke, his hands raised.

"You don't seem afraid." Optimus said. "Are you not surprised to see us?"

"Look, there are seven protocols, okay?" Simmons said. "I'm not authorized to communicate with you, except to tell you I can't communicate with you." Jack rolled his eyes at him.

"Get out of the car." Optimus told him.

"Me? You want me to-"

"Now!" Optimus yelled, making Simmons and his friend flinch by the tone. They scatter out of the SUV, as the teens got out themselves. Mikaela got Sam and Jack out of their handcuffs. Jack went up to Orionna who kneeled down to face him.

"Are you alright, Jack?" She asked.

"I'm fine." Jack replied. "Thanks for coming to the rescue." Orionna nodded at him. "These guys are from Sector 7."

"Sector 7?" Orionna wondered. "Hmm." She stood up and see Simmons and his men stood by the Autobots and Sam demanding to know where their location is. But Simmons refused to talk. The obvious thing to make him is that Bumblebee is leaking all over Simmons, causing Sam and the others to chuckle.

"Bumblebee, stop lubricating the man." Optimus told the yellow Autobot. Orionna chuckled at this.

"Get this guy to stop, huh?!" Simmon said in disgust.
After handcuffing every man of Sector 7 to the pole, Mikaela made Simmons strip off his clothes except his top and boxers for threatening her father. While this is happening, Jack hears a faint buzzing sound. He looking around the sky and the sound is growing louder.

"Optimus, incoming!" Jazz said.

"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus ordered. Every Autobot transformed except Optimus and Orionna. Optimus reached down and open his hand for Sam and Mikaela to climb on to place them on his shoulder. Orionna got Jack to climb on her hand and place him on her shoulder. "Orionna, stay out of their sight. Keep Jack safe." Optimus told her.

"Of course. You keep Sam and Mikaela safe as well." Orionna said with a nod and ran off as the helicopter approached with a searchlight. Jack held on to Orionna's wires as she jogged off. "Hang on, Jack."

"Careful." Jack told her. He turned back to see Optimus hiding under the bridge, but Sam and Mikaela slipped off of him and fell toward the ground. "Oh shit! Orionna, go back! We have to help them!" Jack cried out. Just as Orionna turned her hand back, Bumblebee appeared to catch them. Both Orionna and Jack are relieved, but it didn't last long as Bumblebee was captured by the helicopter's thick ropes. "Bumblebee!" Jack cried out.

"Orionna, there is nothing we could do about Bumblebee. Take Jack and go. We will meet up soon." Optimus spoke from the commlink. Orionna had no choice but to obey her father's order. The humans will capture and harm her as well, and possibly harm Jack. She turned away from the scene.

"Orionna? What're you doing? We gotta help Bumblebee!" Jack said.

"We can't. We have to go." Orionna puts Jack down so she could transform and open the door for him. Jack got inside the car, sitting on the passenger seat and Orionna took off in full speed before they get captured.

"Are we leaving them?! Are you serious?" Jack asked, looking back.

"Too risky. Your friends will be alive. I can't say for sure about Bumblebee..." Orionna spoke from the radio, her tone sounds regretful. Jack can't argue with her. He figured that Optimus told her and the Autobots the same. He hopes Bumblebee will be kept alive.

Jazz climbed down the bridge to speak with Optimus after Bumblebee and the teens were taken away by Sector 7. Optimus could've done something, but there is nothing he could do. He can't harm the humans to save Bumblebee. Orionna took Jack somewhere else safer.

"Optimus." Jazz spoke. "Are we just gonna stand here and do nothing?"

"There was no way to free Bumblebee without harming the humans." Optimus said.

"But, it's not right-"

"Let them leave." Optimus said with a frown. He looked down and see the glasses Sam dropped for trying to stop the men from freezing Bumblebee. He picked them up with his large fingers.

"What about Orionna?" Ratchet asked.

"She is a strong soldier. She knows how to hide and fight back." Optimus told him and the other bots. "She will protect Jack herself. She will find us when the time is right. Right now, we need to leave here."
