S4 was a happy little girl, running everywhere around the base, as long as she was with someone else, as the little girl refused to go anywhere on her own. The Autobots In general were more than happy to have the little girl around and to take turns watching her, though she was not to fond of the prankster twins, but she would rather be with both of them or one of them than alone.
At home, S4 had been settling in, as she shared a room with Bluestreak. S4 had quickly learned how to write better and how to use American Sign Language to communicate her needs, though there were times where nonverbal signals would indicate what she wanted. Jazz was starting to get a bulge in his abdomen and S4 would always lovingly stroke when she got the chance, which is one way S4 showed that she was glad that there were going to be more family members.
Meanwhile, across town, the Three Men Down gang were talking, as word had come through the grapevine that a little human female had been adopted by robots. Curious to see if it was there runaway, Doc kept an eye on the news, while all three waited to see if they could figure out the best time and way to enter the base and capture the little runaway. And as they were talking, Bones was twisting a necklace in his hands. It was not worth much in terms of street value, but it was a necklace that their runaway would recognize, as it had been around little S4's neck until she somehow broke it without choking herself and ran off. The gang knew that all they had to do was show this broken necklace, and their quarry would reveal herself. The question was just how to go about it.
Back at the Autobot base, Detective Shriver soon arrived at the base, after having reviewed the case with everyone who was willing to talk and looking over the evidence. And now, though being a rookie, Detective Shriver was carefully approaching the Autobot base, as she knew that being a child victim of crime was bas, especially with all the abuse little S4 must have suffered. And checking her own personal feelings at the door, Detective Shriver headed in and was almost ran over by Bluestreak and S4 who had not expected anyone to be coming toward them. Detective Shriver kept her cool and was soon swept up by this 20 foot robot and headed back to a certain room, where two other robots joined in the conversation.
"Sorry for startling you, ma'am. My name is Bluestreak and this is S4 with me" stated Bluestreak, "and these other two robots are Prowl and Jazz" at which each bot nodded when his name was mentioned.
Having gotten her bearings back, Detective Shriver introduced herself, "My name is detective Shriver and Detective Sherwood sent me to talk with S4 as she was not comfortable talking with him and he was hoping that she would be willing to communicate with me."
S4 merely watched as the blonde haired detective talked. S4 was wary, as something about this detective bothered her, but S4 thought that might be her own worry as she did not want to be found. But the fact that it was a female, S4 was much calmer than when Detective Sherwood had visited. S4 remained in Bluestreak's hands while Detective Shriver asked questions while standing on Prowl's leg. Jazz recorded the interview to make sure that nothing illegal happened.
"S4," started Detective Shriver, "can you tell us anything about the men who did this to you?"
S4 was nervous, and quickly signed an unknown sign to Bluestreak who frowned until S4 realized that Detective Shriver was here to help by the look on Bluestreak's face. And so S4 scribbled on a piece of paper "they were big and mean. There were three of them. One was shorter than the others, one was darker skinned, one was white and one had skin color in the middle, as if mixed and one of the three removed her vocal chords" and when S4 scribbled that, Detective Shriver felt a chill run through her, as the severity of the situation hit Detective Shriver upside the head.
After the interview, Detective Shriver thanked the bots and S4, who had curled up comfortably on Jazz's shoulder. Detective Shriver went back to her office and dropped off all the info she had gathered and shared it with Detective Sherwood, who was astonished by all that S4 had revealed. And with the descriptions that S4 had given, Detective Sherwood was able to pinpoint which gang was responsible, but that did not mean that the Three Men down gang was going to be an easier to catch.
And later on, as Detective Shriver was heading home from work, someone snuck up behind her, knocked her out, and dragged her away. And due to the fact that detective Shriver lived alone in a not quite as great of a neighborhood, her abduction went unreported at first, as no one wanted to be a whistleblower in this part of town. In fact, it was not until an anonymous call came into the station the next morning that Detective Sherwood realized that the Three Men Down gang were even more dangerous than anyone thought, as word had spread that they now held Detective Shriver hostage, and the demand was that they have access to the little brat that they had missed doing away with the first time. This left Detective Sherwood and the rest of the force in a quandary – who to give up? But not willing to give in, Detective Sherwood decided to approach the Autobots for help, as he figured that they would be the only force that the Three Men Down gang would not expect.
And at the base, Optimus Prime got the news from Detective Sherwood, and soon the larger leader approached Jazz and Prowl as well as Bluestreak while S4 was busy with Ratchet getting checked over. And with the new information, Bluestreak, Prowl, and Jazz as well as many of the other Autobots who had grown to love little S4 began to organize themselves to help not only save S4, but also save Detective Shriver who had been working hard to lock up those who had maimed S4 and killed her family. The question was not could they save both, it was how could they do it without putting any other humans at risk.
