Drone
Chapter Twenty Three
I Can't
Word Count: 200
I should've known that this arrangement wouldn't last forever.
But I got too complacent about my surroundings. Too comfortable. I started providing Riley with her main source of transportation. It seemed like a normal thing; a way for us to "hang out." She took me on a tour of the tiny town she and her dad lived in, and it seemed like a pretty harmless place. I was starting to like it here.
I'd lost the urge to return to the Nemesis. I thought I could start over here. No more life as a nameless drone; no more fighting a pointless battle; no more pretending I didn't care. I was even putting some serious thought into a real name.
And then I saw it flying above my head.
I had been around Soundwave long enough to notice when his own drone was around. How could I have been so careless with my comings and goings? Of course Soundwave would've eventually picked up on my signal out here. Every Vehicon was equipped with a homing signal. It's how they kept up with our numbers. A lone signal in the middle of a desert? That was worth investigating.
I can't stay here.
