Penny moved to get her backpack from the passenger seat next to her and the belt tightened uncomfortably against her chest. She grunted in effort as she reached with one hand instead. Her captor had to have known and felt her moving to the passenger seat. "I'm just retrieving my money." She groaned as the seatbelt now tightened even more.
Barricade growled, "It can wait."
Penny stopped reaching for her backpack as she realized that the Decepticon wasn't fooled. She had intended to get on her phone and write a blog. "Was that really necessary?" She asked, slumping in her seat. "I mean really?"
"Yes!"
"Maybe you shouldn't be judging me. I wasn't going to escape just by retrieving my money from my backpack."
Barricade wasn't to be fooled. He knew that fleshings were sneaky. Even if they gave excuses of what they were intending to do. He had been on this planet long enough to know what they were up to. Even hiding out among the humans as a police man. People were afraid and respectful of police officers half the time. Now, younglings were easier to mold and teach how to respect police officers and signing up as a resource officer would prove to be a good challenge. Start these fleshies on the right path until they're Decepticon workers working under Megatron. The young were impressionable. Easy to fool. Gullible. Including the one in the front. It irritated him when she moved! Was she that impatient that she couldn't sit still for a minute?! "HUMAN!" He said, loudly. Perturbed by her actions of moving again! "I told you to wait. Are your audios malfunctioning?!"
Penny paused like a deer in headlights. She hadn't moved too much and she was just sitting there, not even attempting to retrieve her money. All she was doing was moving her fingers to test his sensors. "I am waiting. Sheesh." Penny replied. "Someone has their panties in a twist."
Barricade did a quick Internet search on that before he growled angrily. Having learned of the meaning, he was rigid with anger. His engine growled loudly. "I can easily crush you."
"Well, you'd have to contend with my family and the Autobots."
"A bunch of fleshies destroying a Decepticon. You are dimwitted." Barricade was still angry and was tempted not to stop at Wendy's. He was so tempted to keep on driving until he reached a section that was surrounded by woods and then he could dole out her punishment.
"Look, all you have to do." She said, hoping he would let her go. "Let me go. I won't tell anyone you were in our school. Scouts honor."
Barricade didn't care about what she said. The fleshing was going straight to Megatron. Then he would see what he would do. This is the girl that he was so interested in. "Megatron will have the final say of whether you live or die. If I were in charge, you wouldn't be sitting here, talking to me."
Penny stiffened in her seat, not realizing she was way too deep. "Uh- don't take me to Megatron. Please. I'll do whatever you want." Penny begged and sat still. "I'll sit still now. Okay?"
"Too late, fleshing. It was ordered."
Penny sagged and hadn't really thought her kidnapping was planned. It would explain the resource officer's interest in her. A sinking feeling of despair filled her stomach. "I don't know anything, really." She said. "I was just -being a kid. I'm not even 18 so I can't make my decisions yet. Please?"
"Which is all the more reason you are being taken to Megatron and he will make your decisions as his new pet." Barricade tried to convince her otherwise. Nothing would change his processor. Megatron would love this fleshing.
