Barricade stared down at me with all his optics. "'Deathbringer'. How did that come around?"
I looked at him, embarrassed. "I-It's a story told to kids to make them behave."
"How did that story go?"
My eyes widened in fear. "It goes like this," I said, trying to hide my fear. "See a robot with many red eyes, run for the hills for the 'Deathbringer' has arrived. Don't stop for breath, don't stop for water, or lest he'll get you and interrogate you, torture you, and kill you."
"That is a horrible story!" Barricade remarked. "Very dark to hear for a thirteen year old youngling. I assure you I do not torture and then kill humans."
"But what about your claws and many red eyes?" I asked, staring at his clawed servos.
"These are my servos! They are not used for torture! However, I can easily 'show' you how an interrogation occurs in my office, but I do not want to frighten you."
"Thanks I guess." I said.
"You must give me the location of the rebel base."
I looked puzzled and confused. "I don't know."
"You don't know? I can tell if you're lying."
"I don't know the location of the rebel base."
"Then why did that man want you?" Barricade asked.
"I don't know. I-I was on my way to school."
Barricade frowned. "I was under the impression that you know more and I guess you are useless at this point."
My eyes widened in fear. He was going to do it now. I saw him retreating backwards, almost out the door. "Wait!" I pleaded. "Wait! I know something."
"What is it, Fleshy?"
"The man-it was, um, he-" I groaned when I realized that my memory was fuzzy. I couldn't remember much about that man's intention. I looked up, confused.

Barricade looked down at the human youngling. Her confusion noticeable. "Slagging great." He muttered to himself. "Now we've got an amnesiac witness." Barricade said louder, "I guess we will wait until you regain your memory."
"Wait! Don't-go!" She pleaded.
"Go." Barricade pointed to the wall.
"I hit my head on something."
Barricade scanned her head, making her shudder and squeak. "You are correct. There is a bruise and concussion. You will be seen later on today."
"Wait! Don't go!"
Barricade paused in the door way. "What?"
"Could I go see Bumblebee?"
