The Autobot convoy sped down the road towards their destination as the third member of the convoy kept watch from above. Silence was the general theme for all of them as the trouble that had been caused the night before had placed both Sam and Bee at odds with Simmons. "we both said we're sorry" said the young Prime suddenly as he could no longer take the the look he was getting from the gray haired man in his passenger seat. "I don't want to talk about it" replied the former S7 agent as he crossed his arms and pulled them close to his chest giving him self a defensive posture. "look it's not like we planned to do that, I mean they should expect things like that to happen from time to time" said Sam as he tried to get a response from Simmons. The former S7 agent slowly turned his head still keeping his arms folded tight to his chest then said "they should expect it, they should expect that, are you kidding me?". It was not the reaction Sam had been hoping for but it still felt better than the silent treatment, "look" the young Prime said "we said were were sorry to all involved and it wasn't like they called the police or anything so there was no harm done". "no harm what about the structural damage, the broken furniture and the only reason they didn't call the cops was because I stopped them and arranged a pay off" said Simmons his anger rising. "did I say we were sorry" said Sam, "it doesn't count if your both trying not to laugh while your saying it" replied the former S7 agent.
Sensing that things were getting out of hand Sam tried to focus the conversation on the positive "look no-one got hurt and their not going to cause any trouble" he said. "the guy in the room next door didn't get hurt because he was in the bathroom when you both came through the wall, but that's just physical damage there's the stress of seeing you two come through the wall and not stop what you were doing" snapped Simmons. "we really are sorry" said Bumblebee's voice through Sam's radio "and you can tell me when the conversation involves three people when one of them isn't in the car" said the gray haired man as he shot the radio a dark look. "look we just wanted to let off some steam and spend a little time together we had no idea that the building was so weak" explained the young Prime. "it wasn't weak it was brand new, everything was fine until you two got some speed up and started hammering the bed against the wall like a battering ram causing both collapsed under the strain" replied Simmons. "we didn't know" said Bee through the radio once more, "that I can believe" said the former S7 agent "and you know why I can believe that, because I was there when you both finally finished and looked round questioning why this wasn't you room". "it never happened before" muttered Sam as he fixed the eyes of his Avatar on the road ahead, "before you had rooms built out of far more solid materials, not to mention the slight fact that you two looked like you were trying to merge your avatars by pure friction" said Simmons.
"I just can't believe you did that knowing where we have to go today, you both know how hard this will be for us given your past history with this place" said the former S7 agent sinking into the Sam's passenger seat for comfort. "that isn't our fault" said Sam "we didn't pick this meeting place your contact did and I thought that whoever were meeting would have picked a mall or a restaurant or somewhere else other than this". "yeh I know lets just hope we get in and out before the dean calls the national guard and tries to have you two arrested and locked in a military prison" said Simmons. "that wasn't our fault either we didn't invite the decepticons to a party or something" said Sam looking defensive about the whole situation. "no that's true" replied the former S7 agent "but the dean doesn't see it that way, she thinks that you attract trouble and it's kind of hard knowing you like I do to defend you against such claims especially when I've been on the receiving end of such things my self". Bumblebee's voice came across Sam's radio again as he said "she should be thanking us for stopping the decepticons before they killed anyone after all she would want her precious collage covered with the blood of the innocent". Simmons looked at the radio as if he was looking someone in the eyes as he replied "no but she does take a dim view of teachers getting murdered to get to you and millions in property damage with no one to sue".
The conversation carried on for some time until Sam noticed that they were entering the outer edge of the campus, "man we're here already, I though that it would have taken longer to get here than this" said Sam as drove along familiar roads. "it looks like we have fifty minutes to spare before the meeting so I'll head there on my own from this point" said Simmons as he gestured to a spot near one of the campus buildings. As the young Prime slowed down he said "I though you wanted backup with you", the former S7 agent looked at him and replied "I also wanted a private meeting but that's not going to happen with you here so I figure that you and bumblebee will draw all the attention while I go to the meeting with apache keeping watch for trouble overhead". "should we sit making duck calls to?" asked Sam his voice dripping with sarcasm, for a moment Simmons stopped as if considering the question like it was genuine. After a few seconds he said "no I don't think you'll need to go that far just be your normal selves and I'm sure that something will turn up to attract the attention of everyone around". The former S7 agent gave Sam a quick smile and wave as he headed off to the spot picked out for the meeting with his contact. Sam quickly commed Apache and said "keep your sensors looking for trouble while you keep watch on simmons, it looks like me and bee are now the decoys in this mission". A moment later the heli-bot replied "understood sir, best of luck", the young Prime laughed lightly as he realized that Apache had missed the sarcasm in the message.
Once Apache was on his way after Simmons Sam commed Bee and asked "so how do you want to do this bee, should we drive up to the deans office and sound our horns or lay naked in the middle of the campus?". "well the second one sounds nice so long as you're able to keep your cool and not start shooting at people who look at me, but I think that we should start by checking out our old dorm first and work up to that" replied Bee a slight air of mirth in his voice. Sam thought for a second then added "yeh I suppose we could work our way up to that after all we still have almost an hour to kill". The two drove off joking about how they should draw attention to them selves though both knew that word of them simply being here was going to spread round the campus like wild fire on the hottest day of summer. Before long Sam found himself parked outside his old dorm, thought really he could not call it old as had things not happened the way they had he would have still been staying there. His Avatar got out of his main form and walked toward the building as a few people gave him fleeting glances then dropped their voices to a whisper before heading off. The silence allowed the young prime to hear the approach of his bonded's engine as Bumblebee pulled up next to him his alt giving Sam's a small and inmate nudge as it came to a stop. Bee's Avatar got out and walked over to Sam's and before either of them knew what they were doing Bumblebee had pulled his bonded into a kiss before looping their arms around each other.
The tender moment was broken by the voice of Leo screaming "what the hell are you doing here?". The broke apart though still maintained contact with each other as each held onto the others hand tightly. "we have some official business here leo and it won't take long to complete" said Sam as he looked at his former room mate. For a moment Leo stopped and just stared at him like he was meeting Sam for the first time, "since when did you sound like the guy in charge?" he asked his eyes still looking Sam over as he searched for any other changes. Sam let out a sigh before he said "I'm not in school any more I'm working with the autobots now" thought he was improvising like mad his voice betrayed none of it, "and as such I'm here on official business that I cant discuss and neither can you". The tone Sam used on the last few words gave the underlying impression of "or else" and Leo got the message loud and clear as he gulped on reflex. Sensing that it would be a bad idea to ask about why Sam and Ben were here with their Autobots Leo asked "so how are you two doing?" as he hoped that this changed Sam would allow such a conversation. A small smile broke on the face of the young Primes Avatar and he said "we're fine and a lot closer than we were before" as the words were said both Avatars squeezed on the had they were holding in their own while their alt forms nuzzled against each other softly.
For a moment a questioning look crossed Leo's face as he tried to understand what both Sam and Bee thought was a simple message, then his mouth fell open in an "O" shape as he finally realized what they meant. "seriously?" Leo asked as he looked from Sam's Avatar to Bee's Avatar "you two you know" and he gestured to both of them. "yeh it was an autobot ceremony it was kind'a involved and took a lot longer than a human one" replied Sam now sounding less sure with his deception. "so you guys are staying at home with your folks or do you have a place?" asked Leo seeing that he was able to speak a little more freely with out fear of getting in trouble. "we sort of have our own place in autobot city but it's temporary until something more permanent can be arranged" said Bee as he ran his thumb over the back of Sam's hand. Leo looked a little shocked by this as he looked for a place to sit down. Finally he found what looked like a soft patch of grass and sat with more questions ready, all of which didn't involve asking why they were here right now.
More than two hours passed as Sam, Bee and Leo caught up with events in each others lives, for the most part Sam was able to tell him versions of the truth that didn't make him feel like he was lying though he found him self very grateful that Bee was on hand to help him when he got stuck. After a while they had a caught up on the time since they had last seen each other and now the conversation turned to more current events. "so you guys know anything about all the disruption that's been happening with satellites?" asked Leo as he looked skyward, "no" they both replied honestly. "well from what I hear people are loosing satellites at random and no-one knows why and rumor has it that n.a.s.a is preping a shuttle for launch to investigate the problem" said Leo as he switched into conspiracy mode. "so can I ask do you guy know anything at all about all this, is that why your here?" asked Leo with out realizing that he had stepped beyond the bounds of the conversation. Sam's face took on a hard expression as he looked at Leo and said "I told you before I cant talk about it so don't ask and second I don't know anything about the satellites going dark". Before Leo could dig himself into a deeper hole Bumblebee caught sight of Simmons approaching arm in arm with a woman almost half his age. Bee quickly tapped Sam on the shoulder and Sam saw the former S7 agent kissing a young dark haired woman gently before the two broke apart and longingly looked at each other as they went their separate directions. "we have to go said Sam as he and Bee left to meet Simmons.
"what the hell was that?" asked Sam the moment he was able to speak to Simmons with out being overheard. "that was my contact" replied the Former S7 agent his face now covered with a serious look. "you treat all your contacts like that? asked Bumblebee as he looked at the spot where the two shared the kiss. "no that was a slight bit of improvisation for anyone who might have been watching trust me I'm not man enough to risk dealing with that shark on a regular basis" said the gray haired man a small amount or relief on his face. Now puzzled both Sam and Bee looked at each other then at Simmons "explain please" said Sam and Simmons gestured to Sam's alt. A few moments later they were on the move and as the former S7 agent took one last look over his shoulder he started explaining what he had learned. "ok first thing" he said "yes we do have a spy in the city but my contact doesn't know his name, second our spy's employer is a company call mega tech their the ones after the information on autobot technology, third if we want the name of the spy we need to hack their main computer's backup drives stored in an off the grid facility that has only one hard line that used in the event of trouble at the main offices". "ok" replied Sam "so this former agent friend of yours got all this how exactly?", "she was no agent" said the gray haired man "she handled the flies for S7 and those brave enough to get close to her also learned that she knew everything about every file in the place, nothing happened with out here knowing it".
"we had some dealings with mega tech" explained Simmons "they made some of our toys for us and when S7 folded they poached the best researchers for themselves, now they want all the knowledge the autobots have and they are willing to do just about anything to get it". Sam, Bee and Apache remained silent as the former S7 agent continued "no we had a file on them about their desires to gain access to n.b.e.1 and we were about to cut them loose before they had a chance to bite us but S7 collapsed before that happened so they had access to the latest information from our files". "so that's what makes them the prime suspect in all this?" asked Sam, "that make them the only suspect in all this kid we worked with one company at a time and no more, besides my contact did a little digging before she went underground turns out that they have been paying someone in autobot city as well as setting up new hidden research labs all over the country". "so where do we go to get the information?" asked Bee over the radio, "their backup facility is built under a cemetery sixty miles outside of mission city and before you ask I have a way in" said Simmons as he once more made him self comfortable in Sam's passenger seat.
