~Thorn's POV~

I lowered myself from the air vent as owner of the bakery left the counter leaving open a bunch of donuts and scones. "Jack Pot", I whispered as I quickly grabbed all that I could and stuffed them in my bag of goods. I then shut the vent behind and slid right out to the outside running for my life in the shadows avoiding all visiable eye. I guess it was then I got the feeling of someone or something following me, I could have stayed out of sight period but decided that I had no need to waste my time with that. I ran faster and harder and still the feeling didn't go away, I could have sworn that I saw the same truck from last night but it was only for a brief moment so I decided to forget about it and move on. I then made it back to the junkyard where everyone was waiting for my return I smiled as I flung my bag of goodies to the ground. "Hey guys who's hungry?", I asked. Their eyes widened as they saw the huge amount of food and water this was my biggest score yet and they knew it.

"How did you get this much?", Tara asked shocked and was drooling a little over the donut. I smirked triumphant as I grabbed the bag again and handed everyone their equal share of the score.

"Oh there was this adorable little bakery with the nicest owners that just left this stuff out for us they were screaming go ahead", I said as I took a giant bite out of a cake donut. Jessica and Amber did the same as I did eagerly but Tara, Laura, and Kelsea were hesitant I could sense that something was wrong and was concerned, "Guys what's wrong?", I asked.

The three looked at me and then at each other as if they were afraid to say something but it was Laura who spoke up as she sighed, "Its just that and I think I speak for the three of us here but we don't feel comfortable with you stealing. I know you did it for us but still it just doesn't feel right."

I looked at them as Tara and Kelsea nodded in agreement Jessica and Amber weren't paying attention at all to the conversation but I wasn't too bothered as looked at the three concerned faces. "Look guys I know, I don't like to steal much either but how else are we going to survive? I never told you guys this before but I have been stealing all the food and water we get for the past year that we all first met and I stole before when I was on my own. I couldn't find any other way considering I still cannot control my arm enough, the only thing I can do is keep it from changing. Guys I can't just get a job and make money honestly, I'm sorry if you don't feel comfortable with this but there is no other way."

The girls sighed in unison and nodded I think they figured what I'd say as they started to eat slowly, seeing their faces made me feel guilty but still there is no other way for us to live its not like we have anywhere else to go for who would ever accept us? Just then I heard a loud honk from behind us. Quickly all 6 girls jumped up just as the truck from last night screeched right in front of us blocking the entrance. "Wha~", was all I could get out as I heard a loud crashing noise from behind a big black truck had driven through the fence as at least 5 soldiers jumped out from the back and another 20 more poured in around the entrance and surrounded us loaded and pointing there guns at us.

"Wha~ What the hell is all of this?!", I cried pissed off.

"Thorn what did you do?", Kelsea asked me scared and also pissed.

"I didn't do anything! Look I may have stolen a little bread and water but that's no reason for the freakin army to come in", I cried to the soliders.

A medium height solider with blond hair with a spiked hairstyle stepped forward clearly he was in charge. "We mean you no harm", he said. "I am Major Lennox and this is my team. Look girls we know about your "situation" and we think we can help you."

Oh damn this wasn't good they knew about us and our powers and probably came just to experiment on us. Like Hell if I was gonna let that happen. "Help us? With what? What are you talking about?", I asked pulling the dumb act, as I pulled my overcoat up along my right arm more so that they couldn't see it and hid it behind my back.

"The fact that you are hiding that arm of yours proves that you got something ot hide and we know what", an African american solider said to me making me swear under my breath.

"Just come with us peacefully and we can help you I pormise", Major Lennox said.

"Fuck that! Help us my ass I know what your goverment officals defination of help is", I cried as I reached into my pocket taking out three tiny spheres. "Girls split up and high tail it to the usual spot!", I cried as I threw the grey spheres on the ground and a huge black cloud spread over the area. There I made my break for it as I headed for the exit and backflipped right over the truck. As I looked into the windshield again I saw it no driver but I had no time to think about it as I took off into the streets. "I hope the girls will be ok", I said running into an alley. "If not those soliders better have a death wish."

~Lennox POV~

I coughed hard in the giant cloud of smoke finally after five minutes the cloud dispersed and I saw that all six girls were gone had. "Dammit! Alright set up a blockade around the perimeter don't let them escape, and put your guns on stun. If there is any harm done to those girls you can expect to be court martialed! Move out!", I ordered.

My men then saluted and ran off to do as I ordered, I then turned to Optimus and sighed. "Great that went well", I said scratching my head.

Optimus then backed up from the junkyard and turned, "Major I'm going after their leader maybe if I can talk some sense into her she can get the others to behave as well. Auto-bots spread out and find those girls follow their heat signatures", he said then drove off to what my guess was the direction that one girl went to.

Again I sighed and rubbed my head as I set my own gun on stun, "This is gonna be one long day". Eps then came and patted me on the back.

"Hey look at this way its a mission and a scanvenger hunt", he said with a playful smile and ran out of the junkyard as I rolled my eyes and followed.

~Tara's POV~

I quickly jumped over the fence and ran the hell away from there. "Ok the usual place", I said to myself and turned at the next corner.

"Wait halt!", a couple of soldiers shouted from behind me as they shot what looked like stun guns.

"Oh Shit! Time to protect myself", I said as my body started to get covered in my armor. For that was my power I could somehow grow an indestructable armor that would protect me from almost anything. But before I could get it to even spread to my legs as I turned the next corner bam I ran right into what felt like a car door. I tried to keep myself stable but it was of no use I fellt right on the ground and slowly was absorbed into unconciousness.

~Sam's POV~

We were driving through Mission City for Bee got a call from Optimus to meet him at some junkyard. When we got two blocks away from it we saw a huge cload of smoke. "What is that?", I said as Bee stopped I being the dumbass that I am told Bee to stop he then proceeded and made the car doors open for both myself and Mikeala one moment I'm about to get out the next I hear a loud thumping noise and there is an unconcious girl right on the ground. "Oh Shit!", I cried as I hopped out of the car towards the unconcious girl, Mikeala along with me. "OH crap", I said as I patted the girls cheek. "Hey are you ok? Hello say something", I said getting more panicked by the minute.

"Sam...Sam! Let's just call for help and get her to the emergency room", Mikeala said.

We were about to loud her in the back seat when Eps came running towards us screaming. "Hey! Hey!", he then caught up and panted. "Man am I glad I got here before you took off. Thanks a lot Sam you caught her for us", he said as he picked up the girl and swung her over his shoulder.

"Excuse me what?", I asked confused. "YOu were after this girl?", he asked.

"Yeah look its a long story come with me and I'll explain it to you in the junkyard", he said as he ran back to the direction of where the giant cloud came from.

I had no idea what was going on, but I definately wanted some answers I looked at Mickeala and sighed. "Looks like we got another mess up ahead", I said to her. She sighed and groaned. "I am starting to think that none of these guys have a normal day", we then followed Eps along with Bumblebee who drove along side us.
