Detective Shriver attempted to open her eyes and found that it was still very dark, as she had been blindfolded and tied up, as well as in severe pain from all the beatings she had taken. She could hear voices that seemed far off in the distance and she could smell the potent, disgusting smell of cigar smoke as well as the stale, warm air, but that was not what really got her. What got her most was the fact that she felt cold, as she realized she had been tied up to the chair she was in, in the nude.
Her Jaw her and her nether region was extremely sore as well, as Detective Shriver realized that not only had she been kidnapped, but she also had been repeatedly raped as well as severely beaten. And though she desperately wanted to cry out in pain and frustration, she refused to, as that meant showing weakness to her enemies, and Detective Shriver was not going to do that, as she was a well trained, tough cop and rookie detective who took flak from no one, not even this dangerous gang. The gang that held her was amazed at her resistance, but they kept her alive for now, as she was merely bait so that they could get their intended target. She had to wonder, what would they do to her when they got what they really wanted, but troubled by the answer, Detective Shriver stopped thinking about that and tried to think of more positive things.
Detective Sherwood, bringing some pictures with him and concerned about the young rookie detective, went to the Autobot base to talk to Prowl, Jazz, and Bluestreak, as the detective realized that he needed to tell the Autobots about the new and unexpected developments in the case including the suspect abduction of Detective Shriver. He realized that S4 may not talk to him due to him being a man, but he had to try as it was important to the whole case and possibly saving Detective Shriver from almost certain doom at the hands of that awful gang. And so, after being escorted to his destination in the Autobot base by Bumblebee, Detective Sherwood knocked on the extremely large door in front of him. And Prowl soon answered, surprised to see that Detective Sherwood was back.
"Hello, Detective Sherwood, to what do I owe this pleasure?" asked Prowl, thinking that the Detective had more news to report on S4 and her family's case, and hoping it was for the better.
"I am afraid that there has been an unexpected recent development in the case, and I need to talk to you three as well as S4, if she will tolerate me being around her" replied Detective Sherwood in a decidedly morose tone, indicating more was going on that what he said.
Prowl opened the door, and allowed the Detective entrance to the quarters, where Jazz was resting on the couch, his slightly distended belly obvious to those who knew what was going on though not to Detective Sherwood, and Bluestreak was sitting there with S4 on his shoulder as they all watched the earth TV. Prowl flicked off the monitor and informed the others of what was going on once he finally had their attention.
"Jazz, Bluestreak, S4, Detective Sherwood has returned with information regarding an unexpected development in S4's case, and we need to listen to what he has to say in case we are needed to help out" stated Prowl.
"Count me in. What's up?" replied Jazz, who stretched as he finally moved from the position he had not moved form in the last 20 earth minutes, and the creaky metallic sound resounded throughout the quarters, causing little S4 to laugh slightly and Detective Sherwood to wince slightly.
"Me too" replied Bluestreak, who looked at S4 who merely nodded "yes" with a resolved, determined look on her pretty little face. S4, while she did not want to go near Detective Sherwood, realized that since Prowl, Jazz, and Blue, as she called him, were not afraid of this man, she could at least listen to what the man had to say, though she decided to remain safely perched on Bluestreak's shoulder for the time being.
Once Detective Sherwood realized that he had their complete and undivided attention, he went on to update them on the unexpected Development, "Jazz, Prowl, Bluestreak, S4 – Detective Shriver was abducted the other day on her way to her apartment where she lived alone. She has not been seen or heard from since, and we at the Department got a letter that informed us that unless we gave up the 'little brat' whom I can only assume to mean S4, 'we will do away with Detective Shriver'. First of all, to let you know, we have no inclination to give up S4 to save Detective Shriver, as we don't give in to threats. However, there still is the matter of rescuing Detective Shriver. I have a picture of the gang we think took her, and I wanted to show it to you. Do you think you can help us?"
"We will do whatever we can to help Detective Shriver and S4" replied Jazz, taking the pictures from Detective Sherwood's hands so that he and his family could look at them, not realizing that the picture would cause an unexpected reaction in little S4.
Jazz and Prowl looked at the picture and scanned it into their processors, but did not recognize any of the three men in the photo. However, when S4 saw the photo when Bluestreak was looking at it, she started to physically shake and cry, running straight for her favorite hiding spot on Prowl. And from that reaction, the three Autobots and Detective Sherwood had all the evidence they needed to realize that S4 recognized these men, and that was enough to connect Detective Shriver's abduction with S4's case, at least at the moment for the Detective and the three Autobots.
And seeing that S4 was visibly disturbed from the picture, the Autobots and Detective Sherwood were more determined to bring down the gang that had done these things. Detective Sherwood continued to talk with the Autobots, trying to learn as much as he could from them. The Autobots, who had recorded when Detective Shriver talked with S4 played back the interview so that Detective Sherwood could see if there was anything else he could glean from them.
Meanwhile, across town, the Three Men Down Gang were talking amongst themselves about how to get the little brat back in their possession. They knew they had made their point by capturing the beautiful blonde bombshell who just happened to be the rookie detective and a primary detective on the case. They knew they had left her where she would be hard to find by the cops, but that still did not appease them, especially the leader who was still adamant about getting that lost little girl back.
"Have you discovered anything Dan?" asked Doc.
"Well, haven't found the little girl, but have found that there is another group of robots that the goody two-shoes Autobots fight against, and maybe we can trick one into working with us" stated Dan
"is this possible?" asked Doc, "Is it possible to ask one of these 'other' robots to help us?"
"Well, anything is possible, I think all we have to do is offer something they want, like energy to get back to their planet, and I think we can get any of them to work with us, especially that egomaniac" stated Dan
"Let's Do it!" shouted Bones, who was a man of few words, as his actions spoke volumes as he banged his hand down on the table, nearly smashing it in half from the force of the blow.
"Alright, but we have to go about this carefully, as we don't want to get burned by these other bots" stated Doc, who eyes took on a sinister shine as if he had just thought of the perfect plan.
Dan, Bones, and Doc started planning on which of the Decepticons they would bait to try to use against the Autobots without being used by these other robots and hopefully they could capture their escapee. One name came to their mind – Starscream, the egotistical second in command of the Cons, and all around backstabber. And soon, the Three Men Down gang once again had their fun with the tied up Detective Shriver before they left to go find away to capture the seeker who might help them in return for learning about a huge energy store. Soon, the stage would be set for a showdown.
