Chapter 19
Amelia slowly started regaining consciousness, she tried to move but something was holding her down. She seemed to be in a hanger of some sort and tied with her hands on her back onto a chair. After a few minutes of tiring to get back to her senses, somebody talked.
"There is no point in trying to escape." Amelia looked up, a little started at the sudden noise. When she had found where it had come from she glared at it. It was another NEST soldier.
"So, would you like to tell us what you are doing here?" He said. Amelia smiled at him sarcastically. She still felt a little woozy and her eyes felt like puzzle pieces. She shook her head in attempt to clear her mind.
"uhum, well, I have no idea… Why don't you tell me?" She said to the soldier in front of her. He was not amused and wacked her. Amelia hissed as she felt her check stinging before slowly putting her head back up and snickering a little.
"What are you laughing at, little girl?" He hissed at her. Amelia just smiled and shook her head in a disappointed manner.
"Answer me!" he shouted into her face before punishing her into her stomach. Amelia whimpered a little but not for long. She realized her armor had been taken, leaving her vulnerable and exposed. She was now just in her black training bra and army pants, which came up to just under her knee. She straightened her back and was about to say something nasty but stopped when she noticed the cars parked to the far side of the hangar, opposite her. There were six of them, a yellow Camaro with racing stripes, A Hummer H2 Search and rescue vehicle, a red Ferrari 458 Italia, 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, a black GMC topkick and a peterbilt 379 truck with flame designs on its sides. Amelia nearly fell over onto her side with shock. She could not help but find the Autobots awesome even though they were her sworn enemy.
"Is there a problem Ma'am?" The soldier inform of her said. Amelia looked up and put and innocent expression on her face.
"No, nothing." She said shaking her head a little.
"Answer my question then!" he shouted at her. Amelia had been so awe struck by the cars, she had forgotten the question she was supposed to answer.
"What was the question?" she asked sweetly. Instead of telling her, the soldier punched her in the stomach again. Amelia winced and squeezed her eyes shut at the pain in her gut.
"Stop!" Both Amelia and the soldier looked up.
"What are YOU doing with HER and what is SHE doing here!" said probably the single smartest and most competent human on earth, also known as National Intelligence Director, Mearing. Amelia just looked at her wide-eyed and the soldier in front of her seemed to be lost for words. After a very tens few seconds the door opened and two more soldier came in. They were Epps and captain Lenox and they were both glaring daggers into her, Amelia just smiled back at them, which only seemed to aggravate them more. Then she decided to speak up.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Amelia said happily before the soldier in front her kicked her painfully.
"Um, Mearing, she is the intruder who killed all the soldiers on the truck." He said. Amelia sighed, she was becoming bored of the situation and really wanted to go.
"How is that even possible?" Mearing asked as she narrowed her eyes dangerously at the soldier. He seemed to back down from her in an almost pathetic manner.
"Oh, trust me. She was the one." Captian Lenox said nodding in Amelia's direction.
"Prove it to me." Mearing said. Everything went silent. Amelia looked at every body and waited for someone to do something. When nothing happened, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Kay." She said. The soldier in front of her turned around and Amelia saw her chance. She kicked him in a rather sensitive place, he bucked down in pain, Amelia then head butted him and he fell on the ground. She then stood up, with the chair, did a front flip and landed on the soldier back with the chair. The chair broke and Amelia got the ropes of her hands before rubbing her wrists soothingly as she got back onto her feet.
"Ta-da!" Amelia said as she did a small curtsy for Mearing. Everyone in the room was staring at her.
"Is there something on ma face?" She said. Mearing shook her head.
"Stop staring then." Amelia said, "I would hate to leave but I really need to go now so…"
"Your not going anywhere, anytime soon you hear me!" Epps said angrily. Amelia raised her eyebrows.
"You killed nearly forty men you know that?" Mearing said.
"No, she killed more. Nobody was able to count the casualty's at the fight in the Decepticon base." Captain Lenox said, pointing an accusing finger in Amelia's direction. Amelia was unfazed, she really could not care less right now.
"Yea, and your point is?" Amelia asked.
"You are a murderer!" Lenox said.
"No, I'm more like an assassin…" Amelia corrected him.
"Ether way, you killed innocent soldiers!" Epps said.
"Hay! They were the intruders! They WILLINGLY put their lives at stake!" Amelia protested.
"They had family's, wives, mothers, some even had children!" Lenox said.
"As I said before, they knew what was at stake." Amelia countered. Lenox turned his back to her. He knew she was right.
"War is a cruel and merciless place. You of all people, captain, should know that." Amelia said. Lenox did not turn back, instead he walked off. Epps stayed though.
"What war?" he asked Amelia. Amelia just looked at him, an evil smirk appearing on her face.
"You know what war." She answered.
