Optimus couldn't tell Riptide, it would destroy him. It had been decided, Ratchet had reluctantly agreed with him. It was Riptide's own good, for his welfare and state of mind.

Fowler had agreed to help, even the primes seemed to think this was the best thing to do.

He walked into the base, keeping himself as casual as he could. Riptide stood up and looked over at him with pleading eyes.

"How is she? Can I see her?" Riptide pleaded and Optimus smiled at him.

Even though every time he looked at Riptide he saw June's pale face, her blue lips and her lifeless unseeing eyes.

"June has been relocated, for her own protection" Optimus told him confidently and Riptide frowned.

"Relocated? What…what do you mean?" Riptide asked him with a confused frown.

"Riptide, June still thinks that you're dead. In order to keep her safe Fowler has agreed to help relocate her to a small town in England" Ratchet explained and Riptide considered it for a moment and nodded.

"So…she'll be safe now? The Decepticon's wont be able to find her?" Riptide asked hopefully and Optimus nodded.

He couldn't bear to see Riptide in such agony, but his spark was startling to fluctuate in pain at the thought of lying to Riptide. The primes were silent, but Optimus' own thoughts were attacking his mind and breaking him mentally.

"Please excuse me everyone, I have something I need to do" Optimus told him with a smile before he left the base.

"Silas. You will meet me in the gorge now. Alone" Optimus ordered through his comm. link over the frequency he knew Silas was using, he'd left it carved into June's spine after all.

"See you soon"

Okay, this is short because the next chapter will be dedicated solely to Optimus and Silas' big stand off. There's gonna be violence, people getting blown up and possibly a death. Or not, you know, I may just be screwing with ya.

In fact, I'm going to put up a poll on my account about what may/may not happen.

Thelegofan, Wow, it's nice to know Jack has a brother figure out there. Hey Rocky, pleased to meet ya. Glad your enjoying the story! Keep reviewing pleasies!

Lionfire, Silas is a bastard, I never really liked him. The only reason I gave him a chance is because the voice actor plays Lex Luthor in the Justice League.

Foxbear, Here comes BAMF!Optimus. He gonna kick butt!

JazzNProwl's sparklingAriaFyre, I'm seeing a trend in the reviews here, I think I've turned Silas into the most hated TF character that ever existed.

Blackshadow, yes, poor June.

Dragonlord1337, Nothing every really works out her Silas wants it do though does it?

Crow-DarkHeart, Thanks.
