Alex walked swiftly home, the large amount of cash in her pocket felt as if it was on fire. She did not want this, this evil money. Why did he have to give me cash, I told him when he hired me never to give me cash. He knows I can relapse, home I can put the money in mama's safe and not touch it again. Alex though tearing into the small house apartment. Running up the stairs into her mother's room, she took the large sum from her pocket and shoved into the small hole she plasma cut into the safe if something like this should happen. She turned and on the dresser saw the picture of her father, mother and her in Alaska snowmobiling, that was the last vacation they had ever spent with her father. Alex stopped, almost wishing she hadn't put the money in the safe, she wanted something to numb her pain. She threw herself on the bed weeping, and holding her mother's pillows tight, wishing the wounds of loss would heal.

Livewire groaned as "Adam" still scratched off paint and made dents in his frame. He thanked Primus that he could transfer most of his pain sensors to his "smaller body". "Alright that's enough" Livewire said to his human carnation even though he didn't have to. The teen stopped and looked at the car, "well I think she'd want to fix me up now." Adam said opening the driver side door, getting in then and disappearing as the last bit of light did.

Alex woke up, Where the heck am I, oh mama's bed. Oh man it's dark out mama must be workin' a graveyard shift at the shop. Alex thought as she lifted her head from the pillows, makeup stains all over mama's pillows, this needs washed. She pulled off the pillow case and took it to the washer, she went back into her mother's room and grabbed the small picture. Clutching it close to her chest, she pulled out one of her dad's old flannels and put it on over her coveralls. Daddy, I love you with all my heart. She whispered to the picture, leaving her house and locking the doors. She made her way to the cemetery, tears blurred her vision but that didn't matter. She found her father's grave and laid down over top of it, like she had done for the past year. Sun was just rising as Bunny, an elderly widow and Alex's landlady, came to her husband's grave, she saw Alex. "Common honey, it's time for you to go home," Bunny said gentle helping Alex off the ground. Alex smiled at Bunny, Bunny had always taken her home after the nights in the graveyard, even after nights with the madness. Together they started walk to home, "Honey you're going to worry your mother's head gray, I know you miss your father but you have to look at what you still have. Honey, you're a talented artist, a hard worker, and a very caring person, why did you almost throw away your life?"

"Bunny, I couldn't, no I wouldn't deal with the pain, I still really can't deal with it. I want to wake up to a new life, but if I wake up I leave him. I don't want to leave him, I love him too much to let go. I don't know what to do, I'm just so lost in this life. It was easier when I wasn't really living, but asleep." Alex cried as she spoke putting her head on the woman's shoulder. "I know I scared you all, but I didn't feel pain, I didn't want to wake up from the coma, but daddy made me. He told me that he didn't want to hurt mama but taking he with him, so I had to go back." Bunny just looked at Alex as they continued to walk in almost silence, except a few whimpers from Alex. "Thank you Bunny, for taking me home, I'm sorry I unloaded that on you, I know you still have remorse from your husband's death." she sniffed as wiped her eyes

"It's ok honey, you need to get that out in some other way than the abuse to yourself." Bunny said as she started to walk away from the teen.

"It's summer!" Miko yelled jumping out of Bulkhead.

"Miko clam down…" Jack said to the Japanese teenager, climbing off of Arcee

"No way, no more school or homework, I can chill here everyday now! Isn't that cool Bulk" Miko shouted towards her friend as he transformed

"Absolutely not, you cannot be here everyday. It was different when you had school you used the excuse of going to friend's houses, you can not be here all the time everyday. I feel that you creators would worry."

"My parents don't live here Ratchet, they live in Japan." Miko said putting her fists on her hips

"Tut tuht tut, That is not relevant, they still could worry, I know that you have "host parents". Can they not contact your parents, like they did when you were not doing good in school." Ratchet argued with the fifteen year old.

"Alright stop bickering you two, I want you to meet someone," a male voice called from an elevator.

"Agent Fowler we were not expecting you, who is this person you wish to introduce to us?" Optimus said walking into the main room.

"Yes, this is my intern Grayson Brock," Agent Fowler said as a young man stepped out of the elevator. "I well he thought it would be a good idea for you all to get to know him since he will your agent after I retire."

"What?" Miko shouted "you can't retire, not now it's summer, I won't have school; I'll get in trouble."

"Miko you should not strive to get into trouble, also I do not think that Agent Fowler was finished." Optimus slightly scolding the teen

"Well I do not plan on retiring an time in the near future, but Mr. Brock thought of this so I'll let him explain."

"Uh as Agent Fowler said I will become your governmental agent, when he so chooses to retire. I figured that instead of just getting someone, whom you do not know as a new agent, you become friends with the person before they are your agent. …I know trusting someone, let alone being friends is a long process without the government involved. But I thought it was worth a try," the fresh faced man said almost with a sad tone as if regretting something.

Livewire woke up to a slight pain in one of his fresh dents, he online his optical sensors to revile a small orange cat laying in it. "Snickers, you silly kitty." as the window open and a rubber like tentacle extended and started to pet the cat. "soon I will be able to drive around again Snicker-doodle, the day after today is when I can. Then maybe I can release some pain from losing Kathrin." the mustang said still petting the orange cat.
