"What is it, Sam?" Optimus asked and I stood up.

"They know who bombed the base." Sam replied. I could sense Jazz tensing up. We turned on the news.

"Terrorist group, al Qaeda, has struck again. The last known attack on the U.S was in 2001 on 9/11. Now they have bombed last week a government base. We are unsure if anyone has died or not but the Secret Service refuses to let us near. Is this the famous autobot base? Or is it just an abandoned factory? Either way this proves frightening for all of us knowing that even with their leader, Osama bin Laden, dead they are still attacking. More news later..." the news casting woman said before Sam turned the TV off.

"Al Qaeda's back and they showed it by bombing you." Sam explained.

"We need to go back." Optimus announced. All optics turned to him.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"We need to get Shzarah out of there before the humans find her." Optimus explained.

"I refuse to see her dead." Jazz growled.

"I understand, you can stay here or you may help keep the humans away." Optimus said. Jazz needs to come; we need to keep the humans away.

"Come on, Jazz. We could use all the help we can get when it comes to humans." I said. Sam looked at me like I offended him. "I meant humans that get all freaked out about being around us. That doesn't include you, Sam; so don't give me that look." I'm trying to be friends with him for Bee's sake. Bee's his guardian and I need to support that I know, but I think he hates me. I guess he's not forgiving me for almost "killing" Bee.

"Stop treating humans like we're dirt." Sam said. I groaned and face-palmed.

"I give up tell me when the discussion's over." I said and left the room. I could hear them talking.

"Give him a break, Sam; he's new and not used to humans." I heard Optimus say. Looks like Prime has a soft spot for ex-decepticons that change sides. Bee walked in.

"Sam's not used to decepticons like you're not used to humans." He said in Cybertronian. I sighed.

"I know; I just wish he'd stop treating me like a decepticon." I answered. Bee paused.

"He saw you and Barricade at the last battle, when he was about to kill Wheeljack."

"So I've heard."

"We're about to leave, Jazz is coming with us as well." That made me smile. He may not know it, but I know about their relationship. Shzarah had told me a long time ago.


I need to know if you want Shzarah back. Review or PM me but until I know what you want, I can't continue. Thanks!
