A/N
I know...haven't been on in a while, but this is the final chapter of Retention. But you guys already knew that this was over.
It's been a while, hasn't it? It felt like ages since she stood in this room, touched the clothes lining her closest, the pictures on the side table. She couldn't go back to a normal life, even if she wanted to. She didn't want to though. She couldn't, not when he was still out there somewhere.
"Mary? Are you ready?"
"Yes, Mr. Fowler. One moment."
Had it been that long? It seemed like just the other day she was in the car with Kyle...Kyle. Mary shut her eyes, shaking her head. Kyle. Was he gone forever? No...Mary thought with a sigh, Knockout let her go with the Autobots. either he remembered the deal or Kyle was still in there somewhere keeping him under control.
"Oh, Kyle," whispered Mary, glancing at the last photo on the side table.
It was early on in their relationship, before he got his job, before all the problems. He looked so happy. They both did. She took the picture up, putting it in her bag. All packed now. Nothing left but the furniture. She walked out, seeing the "for sale" sign placed in the yard. Agent Fowler was standing beside a car.
"I said Mister again, didn't I?" blushed Mary, "It's Agent...Agent Fowler not Mister. I'll get it one of these days."
"I'm sure you will," he nodded.
He wasn't happy. It'd been a long week. She was officially part of the team working to hide the Autobots. It was either that or some weird mind wipe thing. She needed her memories though. She wasn't going to just forget him. She was going to find him and rescue him.
"Ready?"
Mary looked out across her street, spotting a red sports car parked in an alley not far from them. She smiled. The car backed further into the alley way, disappearing from sight.
"After what I've been through, I'm ready for anything adventure," she smirked.
