Bee couldn't take it anymore. Lennox and Epps had been gone for about 15 minutes, and none of the men had heard from them. He was starting to shake from the worry and pain coming from inside of him. He was never one to act so tense and jittery, but this was different. This was about Alise.

Ratchet had attached one of his legs already, and was close to finishing the second one, and Ironhide had run off moments before that, having received a distress signal from Jazz. Bee, however, couldn't do anything more than sit until Ratchet was finished. It was killing him just sitting there.

I should be out there looking for her! Bee was shouting angrily to himself. He had lost too much already to add her to the list. His Spark was aching, and even though he trusted the two soldiers, he couldn't help but worry they'd miss her lying somewhere somehow. The feeling made him sick.

Did they find her yet? he kept asking himself repeatedly. Please, please Alise be alive!

"Hey, Bumblebee!"

Bee turned. From around the corner emerged Lennox, accompanied by two of the soldiers that had left earlier. Alise wasn't with him, and Bee momentarily felt him Spark stop.

"We have something for you," he said with a smile. Then Epps and the rest of the soldiers from earlier turned around the corner also. Bee's eyes widened.

Being carried bridal style by Epps, was Alise.

Her eyes were closed, and her head was resting on Epps's shoulder. She looked visibly pale and weak. She wasn't moving in his arms. Bee's Spark almost gave out. He emitted a high pitched chirp.

But then, Alise's eyes opened and her head slowly shot up. When she saw Bee sitting in front of her on the tow truck, Alise's eyes widened.

"Bee," she whispered happily and she smiled joyfully. He smiled back at her ecstatically and he chirped excitedly. Epps quickly picked up his pace over to Bee, who held his hands out to them. Epps walked Alise over to him and gently placed her in his hands.

"Watch her back, Bee," Epps said to him. "She just got stitched up."

Bee let out a worried chirp, but quickly nodded at him. When he supported all her weight, he quickly brought her up to his face. He looked down at her with an immensely solaced look on his face. The weight of the world seemed to lift from him. She was back, safe in his hands where nothing could touch her. He let out a cheerful noise as Alise smiled widely, yet tiredly up at him.

"Hey, Bee," she said softly, laughing quietly. She looked into his blue eyes and placed one of her hands weakly on his cheek. He smiled at her fondly and buried his face into her, nuzzling her body affectionately with his face. She giggled gently as he did his. When he finished, he placed his forehead against hers.

Ratchet just finished Bee's second leg and looked up at them, a small smile on his face.

"I'll give you two a moment," he muttered amusingly, and he got up and walked over to Lennox, Epps, and Paxton who were a few yards away. Bee didn't even look up at him as he did this. He was too preoccupied with Alise.

"Don't-t you ever do th-at to-to me again," Bee said sternly to her. Her eyes widened as he said this and Bee looked worriedly at her.

"Alise, what-t's wrong?" he asked her quickly. She gazed at him for a moment.

"Bee, you're talking," she said to him, amazed. His face softened and he smiled at her. He chuckled once.

"What-t do you think?" he asked slyly her with a smirk. Alise laughed once and gently touched his cheek again.

"I love it," she said softly, and she gave him a small kiss on the bottom of his chin. He nuzzled her again.

"I can't-t use it-t too often," he told her. "I t-think I'll have to stic-ck with the radio for no-ow." She smiled up at him.

"As long as it's you, Bee," she said fondly. She took her hand that wasn't on his cheek and she placed it on one of his large fingers that was near her head. She buried her face in the metal and sighed contently. She felt safe again. She was with her Bee.

Bee smiled warmly at her. He took his other hand and started to run one of his large fingers gently through her loose pieces of hair that hung over his hand holding her. He then gently traced her one arms, but was surprised to feel her shiver.

"Alise?" he asked her quickly. "Belle, are yo-ou cold?" That couldn't be right. It was too hot outside for her to be anything but warm. With her eyes still closed, she gently nodded against his finger. He paused.

"Ratchet!" he called over worriedly, now on high alert. Ratchet came running over with Epps, Lennox, and Paxton behind him.

"What is it?" Ratchet said.

"She's shi-ivering," Bee said anxiously, holding her out to him. Ratchet took a scan of her body and nodded.

"She's lost a significant amount of blood," he said calmly. "Keep her warm, but do not let her fall asleep. She could go into shock at any moment, and she's going to need a blood transfusion."

Bee visibly tensed up and sent Ratchet an uneasy look. Ratchet placed a hand on his shoulder.

"She is going to be okay, Bumblebee," he said reassuringly. "Just take care of her, and she will pull through."

Bee nodded sharply at him and looked back down at her. He warmed the hand that was holding her, and he watched as she curled against the warm metal.

"Belle," Bee said towards her. She opened her eyes slightly. "Yo-ou have to sta-ay awake, ok-kay?"

She looked up at him weakly.

"Bee," she said softly. "I'm so tired. I don't know if I can."

"You ha-ave to, belle," he repeated sternly. "Do it fo-or me. Please Alise, I'm no-ot los-sing you now. No-ot after all this."

Alise looked up at him for a moment and paused. She then gave him a small nod.

"Okay, Bee, I will," she said weakly.

He smiled down at her, and lowered his forehead to hers.

"Don't lea-ave me ye-et, belle," he whispered softly. She let out a weak, tiny laugh.

"Not yet, Bee. Not yet."
