Jazz awakes to find himself in Ratchet's Med-Bay and tells the news to Optimus about Dani.

Barricade overhears and goes after Dani by himself, but he is stopped by Prowl and he confesses his guilt.

Chapter Four

Regular POV

Jazz's optics fluttered online and he saw the familiar Med-Bay. He scanned around the room for Dani. Where was Dani? Oh slag! He fought in battle and told her to run!

"Jazz." Ratchet's voice said.

"Doc! Dani! She's been kidnapped."

"I know. Optimus and Ironhide have been butting heads. We do not know where she is!"

Outside the Med-Bay, Barricade tunes his sensors to hear Jazz talking to Ratchet. Barricade didn't like the sound of this and looked around to make sure that no Autobot was watching him. "Slag it!" he said when he thought about the security Autobots. They were tuned to everything around the base.

Leaving the Hangar, he walked toward the buildings used for human use. Transforming into his alt-form, he rolled up to one of the humans looking at the car. "Hey! Prowl-Oh! I'm sorry. Barricade!" the human stammered. "Um, I'm wondering if you could do me a favor?"

"What is it?" Barricade's voice took an edge to it.

"Um, Pierce is requesting for a meeting with Dani! He says that it's urgent!"

"Deal with his request. I am busy!" Barricade said, extending his small weapons to the man.

"But he's your-" the man faltered and retreated back into the building.

Barricade was furious and tore down the dirt road, through the force field. His anger raged as he drove down the road in a speed that was horrifying to a human. Barricade raced almost through the unpopulated road toward the spot that Jazz had temporarily off-lined. He sensed Dani's presence, but knew she wasn't there. Suddenly, he heard sirens behind him and saw Prowl driving up. "You know this is not a wise decision."

Barricade changed into his robot form and glared at Prowl. "I don't give a frag! I will find Danielle Evans even if it's the last thing I do!"

Prowl looked at him and said, "You care for Danielle?"

"Yes! I care for my charge and yours. I know where she is!"

"At least let me organize a rescue-"

"NO!" Barricade thundered. "This is my mess!"

"It is just as your mess as it is ours." Prowl said.

"You don't understand, do you, Prowl? I killed her parental units! Me! When I saw how sad she was on that first day, my Spark went out to her!"

"You killed her parental units?"

"Yes. I was under orders to kill her parental units if they didn't consent to my interrogation methods." Barricade explained. "It has to be me to break the news to her about her parental units! I have to rescue her! You stay here and watch your backs. I'll get Danielle!" He spoke in a softer tone. "I am guilty! And I don't expect to stay in your base after this! Optimus will consider me a traitor and Ironhide, once he hears, he will off-line me and blame me for having Dani kidnapped!"

Barricade transformed and left Prowl in the dust. He hadn't meant to leave him in the dust. He scanned Prowl racing back to base, but then he spun around and began following him. "What the Slag?"

"I will help!" Prowl said. "We will get her back!"
