------------------------------------------------------------

Cat smiled widely and looked to the mechs, "Five's going to take them in the truck, and you guys and I are going to have a nice little chat on the way there while I fix up our little gadgets."

Bumblebee was the first to protest. He stepped to the truck and blocked the teens' entrance to it, shaking his head. It was obvious that he held a distrust for the girl who, only hours before, threatened to kill the two.

Cat looked up to the yellow mech who was looking at her defiantly.

"It's fine Bee. Trust me on this, okay? She won't do anything to harm them," Cat assured with a warm smile.

Bumblebee looked from Cat to Five, who was standing near the driver's side down with her arms crossed, a sour frown on her face.

"Right, Five?" Cat gave her look-a-like a nod as if to say 'Make nice-nice'.

Five rolled her bright yellow eyes and said, "Yeah yeah. I'll behave... I won't let anything happen to them..."

"There you see? They're going to be fine. Besides, They're actually very safe with her. Safer than they'd be with me," Cat said.

The Autobots looked to Cat as she gave them a serious nod and realized that she was right. As of right now, Five was the best fighter on the planet, and Sam and Mikaela were going to be under her watchful eye. Even if she was a lunatic, she would obey Cat if she were told to look after the two teens.

Bumblebee let up on the block that he had made in front of the car and rejoined the other four as they, then, turned into their alt modes. Sam and Mikaela hopped into the truck's rear passenger seats while Five got into the driver's side, Lillian taking the front passenger seat. Optimus opened his driver's side door for Cat and she climbed in. The black SUV began to take off but Cat noticed that Optimus wasn't moving.

"Uh, hey buddy. Anything the matter?" Cat asked, parts in her hands and a few processor chips in the sides of her mouth as she prepared to remake the shell of the tracking system.

Optimus was shaken out of his thoughts. The last time he had someone sitting in his front seat he was taken control of, and for some reason half-expected the newer driver to do the same. The other Autobots were in waiting for Optimus to take the lead as he rumbled and drove forward, following the black truck.

"What was it that you wanted to speak about?" Optimus finally asked after a few minutes of silence.

Cat looked up from what she was doing, knowing that the mech had left his communications open for the others to listen in on. She sighed and settled back into the seat, looking out the window.

"Tell me what you know first..." she said quietly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few tense moments of silence, Sam and Mikaela looked to each other then up to Five.

"So uh... Are we going to need like... badges or something to get in at least?" Sam asked.

Five didn't look back to them but said, "It's probably been alerted to the government, by now, that the agents at that rest stop were stripped of their badges. If we try to use them then we'll be caught. They've probably tagged the i.d. tags so that once they've been scanned a silent alert will let the scanner know what's going on..."

"Oh..." Sam replied.

Another brief silence.

"What did she want to talk with the others about? Do you know?" Mikaela asked suddenly.

Lillian looked back to them, and Five glanced back for a few seconds in the rear-view mirror.

"I don't know..." Five lied. She knew exactly what it was that she wanted to talk with them about.

"You think that we're supposed to believe that you can't access Cat's mind anymore?" Mikaela asked sarcastically.

Five didn't answer. Even though she had the power to see into Cat's thoughts, she had promised her that she wouldn't unless they were communicating while apart, or if it was an emergency. However, she didn't always keep to that promise, and she didn't want anyone to know.

"Why is it that you call her by a Human name?" Five asked out of the blue.

"Maybe because she's human?" Sam answered with a question.

Five narrowed her eyes, "Seven is not a Human... And nor am I..."

"What makes you so sure? You were created from Human genes, born by Humans, and have Human bodies," Mikaela reasoned.

"Perhaps Seven didn't make herself clear when and if she explained our history to you... We were imprisoned and treated like wild animals... And that was on a good day... On a bad day, we would come nearly close to death by the experiments," Five's voice grew even more sour with every word that she spoke.

Lillian looked away and to the floor... She couldn't help but feel as though she were responsible for a lot of what had happened to the two.

"Yeah, but now you're free! You can live the way you're supposed to," Sam said.

"Free to live like the ones that we were raised by?! How are we free, exactly?! Running from the government on a day to day basis sounds like a real sweet life to me, how about you?!" Five growled.

Another silence.

Five looked into the rearview mirror and saw that she was being tailgated.

"That yellow friend of yours is getting on my nerves..." Five pointed behind them with her thumb.

Sam and Mikaela looked behind the truck to see that Bumblebee was taking very little chances. He was practically less than an inch from the truck's rear bumper. The two teens smiled and waved.

"Hey buddy," Sam said.

Bumblebee honked in return.

Five looked into the rearview directly at the Camaro.

"You mind?!" she huffed.

The yellow vehicle gave only a couple feet extra of slack as he made sure to stay within a protective distance from the two teenagers.

Five sighed and returned her gaze to the road ahead of them.

"I can't help but ask... Cat noticed it, as well as myself. What was it that you and the robots were speaking about?" Lillian asked.

"...We're here..." Five announced, not planning to answer Lillian's question.

The three looked to the area where Five had slowed down to.

"The Hoover Dam?!" Sam's eyes widened.

Lillian sighed and crossed her arms. Five came to a stop at a high cliff above the Dam, where they could take an overview of the situation. The others stopped behind the truck and overlooked the area as well. Cat jumped out of Optimus, with the shell cover of the old tracking system and looked over the cliff, standing in front of the truck. She then looked back to Five, who was still in the truck along with the three others and nodded. Five gave a nod back.

"Stay here, this will take just a few minutes..." Five ordered as she got out of the truck and walked over to Cat.

"There are... a lot of Humans around here..." Cat was somewhat surprised that there could have been so many civilians around the same facility where she was locked up.

"Are you actually up to this?" Five asked, serious.

Cat watched some of the vehicles pass over the dam and then turned to Five, "We've got no other choice," she looked to the Autobots, who were still in their alt modes in waiting.

"Getting the Allspark means saving their world and ours all in the same... And if that's what we have to do, then it's got to be done," Cat nodded confidently.

Five sighed and said, "Let's do this thing then..."

"Right, "Cat nodded in agreement, "But I think we need to change the plan around a little."

Five crossed her arms and smirked. She knew that when Cat was in the right mood she could be a better strategist than she thought she could.

"What did you have in mind?" Five asked.

Cat snickered and looked back to the three humans in the SUV.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

There were several guards posted around the perimeter, on high alert for the latest crisis that was currently involving our friends. One guard shack, in particular, was having a rather slow day. There was hardly any movement of even so much as a tumbleweed. That was until a truck began to pull up from the distance.

"Hey... What's that?" one of the guards pointed out to the oncoming SUV.

"Looks like we've finally got some action!" The other guard stood up and walked out of the shack, the other sticking by the emergency button access for the "just in case" circumstance.

The SUV pulled up to the guard shack as if it were in a hurry, and the guard walked to the driver's side window.

"What's the good word?" the guard smiled.

The driver's side window rolled down to reveal a woman's face, sunglasses hiding her eyes.

"We've just recovered the elusive Sam Witwicky," the driver smiled and pointed to the back seat as the back window rolled down to reveal two guards in the back, and a handcuffed and gagged Sam in the middle, wearing his normal clothing.

"Where the hell did you find him?!" The guard was stunned.

"Seems as though he was left behind by his alien buddies... We're here to turn him in quickly. We think he knows more than he's said so far and we need to get him to interrogation where he can be properly welcomed," the woman smiled with a small nod.

"Oh, uh... Yeah, yeah! Sure!" the astonished guard turned to the other in the shack and waved a motion telling him to open the gates.

The other guard nodded and pressed the button for the gate to be opened. The guard on the outside turned back to the SUV and looked into the back window.

"You're in for a real treat, son... Everyone has been just dying to see you!" he snickered.

Sam wiggled and thrashed around in the seat, causing the other two try and hold him down. The back window went back up and the driver gave a reassuring nod.

"Thanks... We'll be sure to take gooooood care of this one," she smirked and then rolled up her window, the truck screeched through the gates heading towards the facility, the gates closing in it's wake.

The SUV rolled behind the facility, where three doors burst open. The backseat passengers sliding out, one of them pulling Sam out by one of his tied up arms, helping him set foot on the ground and reaching around to untie him. The driver went around to the rear door, opening it up and lifting up the back hidden storage areas to reveal a stowed away Mikaela.

"How did it go?" she asked.

"Worked like a charm!" A cheerful Cat replied reaching over the girl to grab another suit, handing it to Sam as he approached the rear.

"Okay guys, so you understand what to do?" Cat asked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Teaser!

"Come on! Let's go already!" Five had already broken in the back door without sounding the alarms, and was tapping her foot in waiting.

Cat and Lillian looked back to Five, Lillian going towards the door, Cat turning back towards the teens.

"Be careful guys..." Cat said seriously as she ran to Five and Lillian, joining them.

"...Yeah... You too," Sam said quietly, him and Mikaela watching as the three disappeared behind the thick, metal door as it slammed behind them.
