Chapter 36: Winner's Moment
"Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! Stand down!" Optimus ordered the twins.
The Terror in the 'Terror Twins' were kicking in as soon as they heard the latest news. Optimus, Ironhide, and Barricade were holding Sunstreaker down while Ratchet and Bumblebee were holding Sideswipe down as their human allies go and try to get more information. They were pretty much struggling to keep the twins down. The Autobots' holoforms were attracting attentions from the humans at the airport, but both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker doesn't care if they're being pointed at and gossiped at. They just have one goal in their processors, to save Janette 'Jen' Jones from the evil claws of Decepticons.
"SLAGGIT!" Ironhide cursed as Sunstreaker elbowed his holoform. "Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! I know that you both are worried about Jen, but CALM DOWN YOU GLITCH HEADS! You're attracting attentions from the humans!" He yelled.
"Shut up 'Hide!" Sideswipe struggled to break free from Ratchet and Bumblebee's arms.
"Calm yourselves down before I sedate the both of you!" The medic warned.
Immediately, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker stopped struggling and relaxed a bit. The Autobots' holoforms also relaxed as the twins stop their struggling. The twins didn't want to get sedated by the Hatchet. They both want to rescue Jen, not sleep throughout the rescue mission. The twins didn't let their anger to a minimum. Their expressions were still showing anger and vengeance towards the Decepticons.
Will, Epps, Sam, and Mikaela went on and on asking from people to people, asking for any leads to where Jen has possibly been. The blonde girl might be still at the airport and haven't checked in the plane. But, all answers were leading to the same. They saw her gave the ticket to the stewardess and exited the airport to board the plane. All hope was immediately lost when they told each other about their answers.
"Any clues?" Will asked his best friend.
"Nope, all of them said the same thing." Epps sighed heavily as he sat down on the bench.
Sam was sitting right next to Mikaela comforting his girlfriend while she was crying softly on his shoulder. The brown haired boy couldn't help but hold back his tears. He was a man and man doesn't cry. He remembered the first time he met Jen at Tranquility Elementary School. The very first thought that came to mind was a small and quiet, yet cute girl. Come to think of it, he had his first crush on the girl since she was the only one who didn't mock him or hit him with spitballs like Trent DeMacro did.
"Yeah… And don't come to the swings ever again!" A seven year old Trent DeMacro yelled to a seven year old Samuel James Witwicky and a seven year old Miles Lancaster.
It was the first day of Elementary school and the two best friends were already getting bullied. Sam just has been left by his parents, Ronald and Judy Witwicky, at the school's gate, but not after taking thousands of pictures first. His parents wanted to make sure that the school's best for their boy, so they left to speak to the principal. The brown haired boy was still staring blankly at Trent and his gang. He glanced around to look for his best friend and found that he was at the branch of the tree. The boy sighed as his best friend began to whistle at the new girls playing at the playground.
"Miles… You're going to get us in trouble…" Sam sighed heavily as he stared at a dangling Miles.
The blonde boy smirked and he hung upside down, "C'mon Sam! You know that the ladies dig me when I'm climbing a tree." He said.
Sam shook his head. "You know that the only thing you'll attract is female chimpanzees and besides, you'll fall if you keep on doing that." He said.
"Awwww you're such a party pooper." Miles pouted as he climbed down the tree. He suddenly slipped and fell head first to the grass, luckily, the glass was soft. Sam only shook his head at his best friend's behavior. It was stupid and dangerous to climb a tree without any adult's supervision. The brown haired boy bends down to poke Miles with a stick to make sure he's alive. "Stop it man! You're making me look bad in front of a cute chick!" The blonde boy slapped the stick away.
"What chick? There's no chicken around here…" Sam glanced around to looks for some chickens.
Miles face palmed and sat up straight, legs crossed and hands on Sam's shoulder. "Sam! I'm not talking about chickens! I'm talking about babes! Ladies! The girl version of us! Get it?" He explained.
"Uh…" Sam tapped his chin. "I think your big brother is a bad influence to your brain, Miles…" He laughed nervously.
"No! He is not! He is the best brother in the world!" Miles pouted and crossed his arms across his tiny chest.
"Whatever, Miles…" Sam sighed as he stood up and turned around. He ignored his best friend's calling and kept on walking forward with his emerald eyes closed. He suddenly bumped into someone right in front of him. Falling down, both of them let out a soft 'ouft'. Sam rubbed his head and clutched his eyes close, flinching when he noticed a scratch was on his knee because of Trent, his new enemy. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you…" He trailed off, examining the girl.
Sam had to admit, she was pretty cute with the round shape face and the twin tails hairstyle with blue ribbons as the scrunches. He had to fight back a blush when he saw her big round blue eyes, observing him closely, rather too closely. He instantly backed away from the girl and blush bright shades of red. The blonde twin tail girl was pale and has round big blue eyes. She was normally dressed as the Tranquility's Elementary school uniform. Unlike all the other girls he and Miles met, they modified the uniform a bit by putting on extra frills and cut their skirt short. But this girl was properly dressed, ready to learn.
"I'm sorry too… I should've watch where I'm going…" The girl offered her hand for Sam to take it.
"Huh? Oh!" Sam took her hand and she helped him stood up. "The n-name's Samuel James Witwicky… But call me Sam." He grinned sheepishly.
The girl nodded, "Janette Jones…Call me Jen if you like… It's much shorter and easier to pronounce that Janette…"Jen gave a small smile. Her blue eyes stared at one thing, and that one thing is Sam's scraped knee. It was shown because he was wearing the boy's short pants uniform. He blushed a bit; embarrassed that he has been hurt in his first day of school. "You are injured? I'm sorry… I should take you to the nurse…" She muttered, reaching her hand out to drag Sam to the Nurse's office.
"No! No! No!" Sam quickly waved his hands in front of his face. "I'm good really… This was because of Trent DeMacro… My new enemy…" He clenched his fist into a ball as Jen only stared at him.
"Trent… DeMacro? I think I've met him this morning… So it was you? You were that boy who fought back Trent when he told you to get lost?" Jen smiled as Sam blushed in embarrassment.
"Uh… um… Y-Yeah… Words did fly by really fast huh?" Sam smiled sheepishly.
Jen nodded. "No need to be embarrassed Samuel… I think that it's pretty cool that you stood up to yourself and your friend over there." She smiled.
Samuel? That's a first… Sam thought as he smiled. "You mean Miles? Yeah, he likes climbing trees and stuff…" he said, getting out of topics to discuss.
"I see… I guess… that's pretty cool too…" Jen said unsurely, getting out of topics to talk about as well. Things were getting pretty quiet around the two seven year olds. Sam was rubbing the back of his head, this was the first girl he ever talks to ever since the frog accident back at kindergarten. "So… Where are your parents? I don't see them anywhere around here…" She asked.
Sam shook his head, snapping out of his daydream. "Huh? Oh… They're here somewhere… What about you?" he asked back.
Jen shrugged her tiny shoulders. "I don't actually know, probably at Kindergarten." She answered.
"Really? You're parents are still in Kindergarten while you're in the first grade?" Sam asked, trying to make a joke.
Jen shook her head, "No… They're at Kindergarten dropping off my little sister, Emily." She answered bluntly.
"Oh…" Sam nodded. Looks like I'm not going to be a comedian when I grow up. He said in his mind, laughing a bit.
Jen looked around and saw that Trent was punching his fist on his palm, eyebrows furrowed down with anger. The bully and his friends slowly approached the two kids. Quickly, Jen grabbed Sam's hand and dash out the playground with Miles following from behind.
"He's after me!" Both Sam and Jen shouted at the same time. They both glanced at each other. "You too?" Sam asked curiously.
Jen nodded as she, Sam, and Miles hid behind a bush. "Uh-huh… I accidentally dropped my water on his pants… I apologize to him but he won't accept it…" She said sadly.
Sam and Miles started to laugh their butts off as Jen only stared at them weirdly. "What? What's so funny?" She asked.
"Oh boy!" Miles wiped his tears away while laughing. "That must have looked like he's peeing!" He clutched his sides.
"Yeah! You're a natural joker Jen!" Sam laughed and placed a hand on Jen's shoulder. "Oh yeah! You haven't met Miles yet. Miles this is Jen, Jen this is Miles." He introduced as he directed his hand from Miles to Jen and Jen to Miles.
"Why hello there, pretty girl." Miles smiled and flipped his hair. "What do you say about you and me go on a date?" He asked.
"Miles!" Sam scolded as he smacked his best friend's head.
"Aw! Joking! Just Joking!" Miles laughed. "Maybe you're right Sam… My brother is a bad influence to me…" He smiled as he rubs the back of his neck.
"It's alright Miles… Perhaps… we should go to our class? Which class are you two in?" Jen asked as she dusted the leaves off her skirt.
"1-A… How about you?" Sam asked back.
"1-C… Looks like we won't be seeing each other often… But maybe we could see each other after school and such…" Jen smiled as she waved goodbye to Sam and Miles.
Sam and Miles waved back. Miles noticed that Sam was checking Jen out. "Ooooo! Sammy has a crush on the girl! Sammy and Jenny sitting at the tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" And he makes kissing sounds to match the song.
Sam once more smacked his best friend's head. "I do not!" he yelled.
"What's this about our Sammy having a crush on a girl?" Judy Witwicky asked from behind the boys.
Sam and Miles spun around to see the two Witwickys standing right behind them with a big goofy grin across their faces. "Well? Son? Where's this girl that you like? Is she pretty?" Ron WItwicky asked with a smirk.
"DAD!" Sam yelled out loud, embarrassed. Why do parents always have to embarrass their kids at the first day of school?
"Oh… Mr. Ron… She's very dang hot." Miles nodded.
"MILES!" Sam yelled again.
"Ooo! Is she going to be your girlfriend Sammy? Awww My boy is going to have a girlfriend in his first day of school! You're a natural hun." Judy cooed at her young child,
"MOM!" Sam yelled in frustration.
Eventually, Sam and Jen became good friends. They were in the friend zone, but Sam's parents kept on pushing him to be in a whole new zone. They both were going to be just friends. Sam already had a crush on someone else; the pretty new girl, Mikaela Banes. Jen agreed to help him get noticed by Mikaela, but it was worthless since Trent always gets in the way. Then at the second grade, there were rumors about Jen being an emo girl who like to speak to herself and always gets into trouble. Sam didn't believe those mumbo jumbos, but Jen told him that he and Miles shouldn't be friends with her anymore and try to avoid her as much as possible. They both disagreed, but Jen was already gone and never spoke to them again.
Mikaela was sobbing quietly. She was upset that her best friend was gone because of unknown reasons from the Decepticons. They both had been good friends since the beginning of the senior year in high school. They get along just great at the beginning of the school year in elementary school twelve years ago. They first met in class when the teacher asked Mikaela to answer a math problem and she doesn't know the correct answer. She remembered that day, the day when it almost gone to the worst first day of school ever. But a cool nerd came into the rescue that day.
"Ms. Banes! Would you like to tell me what the answer is?" The Math teacher, Mrs. Rachel slammed her ruler to the chalkboard as the children flinch at the noise.
Mikaela stood up from her chair and stuttered as she thought for an answer. The beautiful black haired girl with blue eyes was getting nervous with the stares she was receiving from the other students. To make it worse, Mrs. Rachel was also giving her the creepy stares that could make her faint in just a few seconds. The black haired girl was fiddling her hair with her finger, the same thing she always do when she gets nervous. The butterfly hairclip always slips away from her wavy black hair as she kept on fiddling her long hair.
"Uh… Um… the answer is… Um…" Mikaela stuttered.
"Well?" Mrs. Rachel asked, getting impatient.
Mikaela shut her eyes closed as she was going to fail this class. She reopened her blue eyes as she saw a piece of paper with a number written down on it. The small paper only has a single digit number. She glanced to her right as she saw a blonde girl with twin tails smiling up at her, encouraging her to read what's written on the piece of paper.
"Um… Nine?" Mikaela answered unsurely.
"Correct," Mrs. Rachel adjusted her glassed as she cleared her throat. "You may take a seat now Ms. Banes." She said.
Mikaela sighed in relief as she sat down, getting a few praises from her fellow classmates. She leaned to her right a bit closer to talk to the blonde twin tail, who just save her butt from getting yelled at by Mrs. Rachel. Her blue eyes observed the blonde carefully. She looked rather quiet and nerdy, but Mikaela likes it.
"Hey… I'm Mikaela Banes… Call me 'Kaela or Miky sounds good too." Mikaela offered a soft, warm smiled.
The blonde girl placed a book right in front of her and turned to her left, "I'm Janette Jones… But call me Jen if you like Mikaela…" She introduced.
"Well Jen… I think we're going to be good friends from now on!" Mikaela shook her hand with Jen as both girls smiled warmly at each other.
Mikaela and Jen got along pretty well for the pass year. Jen was trying her best to make Mikaela notice that Sam was having a huge crush on her, but it was impossible since Trent always shoved Miles or Sam into a locker. Jen always ended up getting them up, by picking the combinations. The friendship quickly ends on one rumor in the second grade, a rumor about Jen being an emo and likes to cause trouble for everyone. Mikaela disagreed with that rumor, but Jen already said to stop their friendship because she doesn't want to ruin Mikaela's image of the school's beauty. Mikaela was about to objected, but Jen was already gone and the next day, she wasn't talking to anyone besides reading a book.
"Oh… Sam… What are we going to do now?" Mikaela sobbed.
Sam glanced down to his girlfriend. "I don't know yet… Tomorrow's going to be the day where Emily and Trent get into the court room and the judge to decide on their complete fate… But with this happening, I don't think I'll go tomorrow…" He ran his fingers through his brown hair.
Mikaela nodded in agreement.
"Hey…" Will began, "We need to… You both are the eyewitness and so am I… If we don't go tomorrow, the Judge might free both Emily and Trent without any sentence to anything… Remember, Jen's dad is a famous lawyer…." He said.
Sam nodded, "Yeah… I know…" He stared at the two soldiers. "But why didn't Jen stayed a bit longer? So she can witness everything and be the eyewitness too? Evidence too…" He let out a loud sigh.
Epps shrugged his shoulders. "She did say that she didn't want to witness her sister getting a trial… Man… Jen's too nice for her own good… Never thought that being too nice is also bad…." The African- American man shook his head.
"Excuse me ya?" A Sweden accent was heard behind Epps. The four humans turn around to see a Sweden girl with short black hair and a pair of black sunglasses. "Do you know? Where can I find the exit ya?" She asked with her thick Sweden accent.
Epps was the first one to snap out from his stare, "Uh… Yeah… It's just over there…" He directed his hand to the big exit sign.
"Oh! Thank you ya!" The girl bowed her head and quickly ran towards the exit, leaving the four stunned.
Will shook his head as he tried to process what has happen. That Sweden girl looks familiar, but he just can't seem to put a finger on it. He shrugged it off and clapped his hands loudly for Sam and Mikaela to stop staring at the Sweden girl.
"That was… kind of weird…" Sam admitted.
"Who was that Sweden girl?" Mikaela asked.
"Dunno… But c'mon, Optimus is waiting right in front with the others. He wanted us to go on a search party as soon as possible." Will jabbed his thumb to the waiting Peterbilt and the other vehicles.
Mikaela wiped her tears away and nodded. She along with Sam, Will, and Epps jogged towards the awaiting vehicles outside the airport.
The white building stood tall with somewhat looking like a palace. The Autobots and the four humans stared at the building for a moment before glancing at each other, exchanging looks. They have agreed that some of the Autobots will join them on the courtroom and some would go on a search party. Apparently; Ultra Magnus, Prowl, Barricade, Bumblebee, Blurr, Ironhide, Chromia, and Sideswipe decided to tag along the four humans. Prowl and Barricade were supposed to be the only two Autobots that were suggested by Optimus to come along with the four humans, since they needed someone to be on Jen's side.
Sideswipe has agreed he would record everything on footage for Sunstreaker to witness. His twin wanted to kill the Decepticon who dared showing his disgusting face back to Tranquility. Sunstreaker wanted to see all of the things that happened in the courtroom, not a single thing will be left out. As much as Sideswipe wanted to go along with Sunstreaker, somebot has to record everything. The yellow Lamborghini also promised to record the battle scene when he found out who was the Decepticon. The twins agreed.
"You-humans-have-very-tall-buildings-and-busy-ones-too." Blurr quickly said as he observed the activities around the building. People dressed in neat clothing were coming in and out the white building. "Yo-what-are-all-of-those-people-look-so-stress-and-why-do-they-all-look-so-angry?" He continued pointing to everyone who passes by him.
Prowl adjusted his glasses, "They are probably here for a trial as well… Humans tend to break the laws almost every day, not just Cybertronians." He glared at a certain prankster.
"Whatever…" Sideswipe waved the SIC off. "Let's just get in and get this over with… I'm going to join in with Sunny after all of this is over." He sighed, walking towards the doors first.
Chromia jogged towards the mech. "Why didn't you just join with your brother?" She asked curiously.
"Because… If we both came here, then we can't beat the slag out of the Decepticon and if we both went to beat the slag out of the Decepticon, then we can't see this trial." Sideswipe explained, eyebrows furrowed down in anger as he saw Jen's Mom.
Chromia looked to the direction Sideswipe was glaring. She huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. She has heard stories about Bertha Jones from Bumblebee and the Terror Twins, and their description fitted the femme creator perfectly. The purple femme observed the black haired femme creator. The creator looks furious that Emily was at trial, accused for three attempts of Murder even though she hasn't really killed Jen (nor will she ever kill their allies when the Autobots are around) and of course Robbery. The purple femme placed a hand on Sideswipe's shoulder to let him know that he can't beat people up and if he did, he will end up in trial himself.
"Don't worry sweetheart, daddy's here to break you out. You didn't do anything wrong. You're innocent!" The voice of Henry Jones said encouragingly to his daughter.
Will's left eye twitch at the father of Janette Jones. His first daughter is missing and was almost killed three times by her own sister, and he still defends his terrible daughter. A father shouldn't be like that. A father supposed to side the good and would scold their children if they've done something wrong. The soldier himself would be upset if Annabelle does something bad in his eyes and he will give the appropriate punishment, like grounding her or something. Optimus and the others wouldn't be so happy when they hear Jen's father was defending the guilty Emily when all of this is over.
Will cleared his throat and Henry Jones spun his head to the soldier, acknowledging his presences. "A quick word with you?" He said.
Henry nodded, "Alright but be quick! I have to defend my daughter for her innocents." He replied as he followed the Lennox to a hall, less busy than the one they were at. "What do you want to talk about? If you're going to ask me to be your lawyer then I'm not taking it… You need to wait in line." He crossed his arms.
The soldier spun around to give a hard cold glare to the Jones. "Listen here punk," Will said warningly. "How can you defend your 'innocent' daughter when your other daughter is the one who's completely innocent! Are you just blind or are you just too dumb to see it?" He half yelled half whispered.
Henry scoffed and adjusted his black suit. "Janette Jones is the one who's guilty. I would never admit that she's my daughter. My daughters should be smart, diligent, fearless, and perfect. None of those fitted her." he glared back at the Lennox.
Will snorted. He almost punched the man square in the face, but he remembered; this guy wasn't worth his time and with even one punch in the gut or face, he sure would have a concussion. The black haired man hung his head down in disapproval. None of those words fitted her, for Emily. He knows that Jen is smart proven by getting a scholarship to Germany, diligent proved by always be hard working at her job, fearless for sacrificing herself to the Decepticons in order to save his precious daughter, and of course she's the perfect daughter for any parents.
"Dumbass…" Will muttered under his breath. "Do you know that your first daughter is missing?" He asked with a glare.
"No," Henry shook his head, his expression straight. "Not that I known of nor do I care. Look, this is going nowhere. If this is all you want to discuss then I'm leaving." He shoved his hands into the pockets of his silk black pants.
"Son of a—," Will raised his fist and was about to punch Henry, but a hand stopped his fist from ever hitting the Lawyer. He turned his head over his shoulder and saw Ultra Magnus, holding his wrist. The Autobot had a slight glare towards Henry as he was staring straight at the Lawyer. "Magnus? Why did you stop me?" The soldier asked confusedly.
Ultra Magnus released his grip from Will's wrist and stared down at the soldier with electric blue eyes. "It is simple Major Lennox… He is not worth of your time and the trial is about to begin. We should join the others now; they are waiting for you in the courtroom." He said.
"Right…" Will mumbled as he ran his fingers through his short cut black hair.. "Let's go…"
Ultra Magnus nodded and trailed behind the frustrated soldier.
"Order! Order at the court!" The Judge slammed his gavel to the matching colored block. The room became silent at the sound of Judge Marty Lee Junior. The Judge adjusted his round glasses as his eyes observed the room. It was crowded by many spectators and reporters, probably because one of the Lawyer is Henry Jones; one of the best Lawyers out in America. "Now, let the trial begin." Judge Marty said.
Will was sitting at the plaintiff's seat while Epps was sitting at the counsel's seat. Apparently the African-America man insisted to be the Lawyer for Will. It was shocking, but where are they going to find a Lawyer in such short notice? They decided to pick Sergeant Robert Epps, the best talking at base, next to Blurr of course. The African-American man stood up and acted like a Lawyer, even though he isn't one.
"You sure you're good at this?" Will whispered to his best friend.
Epps makes a hurt expression, "Will! You don't trust your best friend to be your Lawyer?" He asked.
"Well… No actually… You don't have any experience as a Lawyer and you're dealing with Henry Jones, the best Lawyer in America, dumbass." Will sighed as he flashed a smile to the court's reporter.
The African-American man gave a smile and a reassuring pat to his best friend. "Don't you worry about a single thing, man. I've dealt with this stuff back at home all the time! Just this is much harder… and messier." He said.
"Oh boy…" Will groaned as he face palmed. "I knew I should've pick Magnus…" He muttered. The soldier remembered when Epps was being a Lawyer to his little brother all because of their older brother ate their candy.
Epps pretended he didn't hear that.
"Your Honor," Henry Jones began as he stood up and began to walk around the front, glaring at Will. "My client was accused at attempt of murder for three times, but she was really innocent!" He shouted.
"Objection!" Epps shouted as he slammed his hands to the wooden table.
"Overruled!" Judge Marty yelled and turn to Henry. "Please continue, Mr. Jones." He said.
"As for witness, I call Trent DeMacro!" Henry pointed to the blonde teenager, who shrugged and headed towards the witness seat beside the Judge's table. Sam glared at the teen while Mikaela kept giving him the looks. As Trent sat down, he flashed a smile to Emily, who smiled in return. "Now… Mr. DeMacro, did you witness my client attempting murder?" the lawyer asked.
"No, I didn't and I'm her boyfriend, right baby cakes?" Trent smirked as Emily nodded happily.
The jury began to murmur to each other, discussing the trial.
"Objection!" Epps yelled once more. Judge Marty and everyone turn their gaze to the African-American man. "Your Honor! The Defendant is guilty! I'm one hundred percent sure! My client had witness her trying to kill her own related blood sister!" He yelled.
The room was filled with murmurs.
"Objection!" Henry Jones exclaimed.
"Overruled! Please… continue Mr. Epps." Judge glared at Henry and nodded his head towards the direction of Epps and Will.
"Thank you, Your Honor" Epps felt a proud smile curled up to his lips. "Now Mr. DeMacro… You said that you didn't see your girlfriend attempted murder right?" He asked.
"Yeah," Trent answered with a bored tone.
"I have a conclusion on that," Epps took a deep breath. "That was because you were in this as well!" He accused as he pointed his finger at the blonde.
The whole room was noisy once more.
"And I have prove! I call Barry Cade to the Witness!" Epps yelled and the ex-Decepticon nodded.
Barricade let out a snort, "Please… I don't need to take a seat. I don't want to sit where your filthy sweat has touched the chair." He said to Trent. "And yes, I do have evidence that Ms. Jones over there is the one who attempted murder to her own sibling." He said as he pulled out a see-through bag.
"This is her blonde hair," Barricade wasn't even finish and he was already cut off.
"Objection! My client has brown hair! Not Blonde hair!" Henry slammed his fist to the table.
"Overruled! Please let Mr. Cade continue Mr. Jones." Judge Marty said and nod to let Barricade continue.
"As I was saying, why don't you lift her hair up? She still has a blonde spot on the back, covered by her brown hair." Barricade crossed his arms as he placed the bag down at Will's table, leaning back on the table.
Judge Marty monotone his hand to the Bailiff to check. Emily tried her best to calm down and kept a smile on her face. The Bailiff raised an eyebrow and lifted Emily's long brown hair and his eyes widened as he found a blonde spot on the back. The spectators who were behind the defendant's chair gasped in shock while the jury observed everything carefully.
"Objection! That might be anyone's hair!" Henry objected.
"Oh? Then I have plenty more of the prove we need to put her to prison." Barricade narrowed his eyes while Will and Epps smirked.
Sam and Mikaela watched with awe. They both never thought Barricade would make such a good witness and Epps was a pretty good Lawyer even though he hasn't step his foot to Law School. The two humans were watching with awe and suspense, hoping that they would win. The Autobots were amused to see Emily and Trent panicking, and Henry was getting out of objections because the evidence was all very real and strong. Like the hair, the footage, the knife, and the black jacket.
"Serves her right," Ironhide snorted in amusement as Chromia nodded in agreement.
"Sunny's gonna love this." Sideswipe mused to himself and whistled.
"Yeah… Sergeant Epps is a good one…" Bumblebee nodded.
"Wow! Never-thought-that-Candy-and-Epps-are-good-at-accusing-people! Maybe-i-should-hire-them-the-next-time-Hatchet-tries-to-kill-me!" Blurr grinned.
Ultra Magnus and Prowl only nodded.
"Ob-Objection!" Henry yelled. "Your Honor! He doesn't have any prove for child neglects!" He glared at Will, who was smirking.
"Oh but I do." Will answered. He reached into his pocket and grabbed a GSM Bug that has been on since the private talk with Henry. He played the recording, earning complains from Bertha, Henry's wife. "How can you say that when you're daughter is missing hmm? Henry Jones? Is the Lawyer breaking his own rules?" He teased.
"Why you…" Henry growled as he clenched his fist into a ball.
"Does the Jury made their decision?" Judge Marty asked.
"Yes, Your Honor…" A person stood up from the Jury's seats. He handed the Judge a piece of paper.
"Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Ms. Jones, and Mr. DeMacro, the verdict has decided." Judge Marty said. There were multiple gasps from the spectators, maybe because three more were involved in the trial. Mikaela gripped on Sam's hand as they waited for an answer. "Guilty." He said. "Juvenile for Ms. Jones will serve under community service for forty eight hours and would continue her time in prison when she turned eighteen."
"Mr. DeMacro, you will be sentenced twenty years in prison with parole."
"And as for Mr. and Mrs. Jones, you both are sentenced to community service and would pay ten thousand dollars for child neglect for twelve years." The judge slammed his gavel to the block. "The trial is now closed."
The reporters began to move to interview with the three Jones, who declined and quickly exited the room with the reporters trailing behind and Trent following with the police officers behind him. The room was all empty except for the four humans, the Autobots, and a woman with a big black hat and black sunglasses. They were too relieved that they didn't even notice the presence of the woman.
"Gosh Epps… That was amazing!" Sam clapped.
"Why thank you." Epps smiled proudly. "See Will? I am the best Lawyer." He said smugly.
"Whatever… if it wasn't for the GSM Bug we could lose you know…" Will sighed and placed a smile.
A clapping sound was heard from behind them. They all spun around and saw the woman with the big hat and sunglasses. The woman had long wavy blonde hair and pale skin which could only be seen with the little part of her skin showing. She was wearing a cream colored coat and black leggings with black leather boots.
"Very good ya!" The woman smiled.
"Wait a minute… You're the lady from yesterday right?" Sam asked as he pointed a finger at the blonde woman.
"That is right ya!" The blonde woman grinned. "Do you know who I am?" She asked with a thick Sweden accent.
"Uh…" They all tried to answer, but no name came out of their mouths.
"It is I! Jennifer Lennox! I cannot believe you forgot about your own niece Uncle Will!" Jennifer Lennox said disappointingly and emphasis the word Jen on Jennifer.
Everybot and every human in the room stared at Will confusedly. The soldier just raised his hands up in defense. He has never in his entire life met this woman before. She was a complete stranger to him.
"Uh… I think you've mistaken miss…" Will laughed nervously.
"Oh no, I'm not mistaking." The young woman dropped her accent and took off her glasses and hat, reviling her long blonde hair and her blue eyes. She glanced around the room and took the wig off and her real shoulder length blonde hair fell to her shoulders. "It's me… Janette Jones. Don't tell me you guys don't remember." She gave a sheepish grin.
"Janette—," Sideswipe began.
"—Jones?" Ironhide continues.
"That's me." Jen answered with a huge smile.
"Holy Slag! It really is you!" Chromia quickly embraced the girl with a hug and Mikaela joined in the girls' group hug. "What—how did you escape the Decepticons?" She asked curiously.
"Well…"
~Yesterday~
Jen was walking down the metal stairs. She was the last passenger to be going down the stair to board the plane. She never did take a glance back at to the airport; it was just too painful for her to glance back. The blonde girl wiped her tears away from the corner of her eyes as she continued to walk down the metal steps. She wasn't really too paying attention to the route. She was suddenly been yanked away on her upper arm. The person quickly dragged her, under the stairs where there was a huge gap and cannot be seen because of the large boxes stacked near it.
"Shhhhs! Just stop it!" The voice commanded.
Jen's eyes widened as she slapped the hand covering her mouth away. She turned back and saw a pair of glaring crimson eyes. She recognized the person as one of the Trine, known as Thundercracker.
"Th-Thundercracker? What are you doing here?!" Jen asked, it was more like a demand than a question.
Thundercracker glanced around and sighed heavily. "Look… I know that I'm a Decepticon and all, but you have to listen to me… Your life is in danger. Believe me, Lord Megatron has sent me to come here and kill you. I'm only here to stop you because I pity you." He said with a small frown.
The blonde stared at Thundercracker in disbelieve. She didn't believe her ears. Thundercracker was telling his Master's plans and would risk of getting off-lined to come here and tell her about it. He didn't look like he was lying or playing a trick on her. What he said was true.
"Listen to me closely," Thundercracker began. "Your friends are still here, go to them and get the Pit out of here! Here I got you your suitcase and please wear this." He shoved a black thing to Jen's face and she took it and stared at it weirdly. "I found a wig and I made it a bit more… femme-ish. Change your jacket to this." He scratched the back of his head.
"You went into my suitcase?" Jen asked with her mouth opened in surprise.
"Well, yeah… But it's for your own good!" Thundercracker yelled in frustration. His fingers ran through his black hair as he took a deep sigh. "Listen, you are now dead. Janette Jones is now dead. She is no more. You are a whole new person! Get it? If you don't change your name, Sideways and Knockout will find out and do the job themselves." He warns as he gripped on both Jen's shoulders.
"O-Okay… But what will happen to the other passengers? You aren't going to kill them right?" Jen asked nervously.
"No… I'll dump them off at the Atlantic Ocean, easy." Thundercracker answered calmly.
"Will you be alright though? I'm sure you'll do just great with the Autobots…" Jen smiled as she stood up.
Thundercracker shook his head. "No… I don't like them. And this is the last time I'm helping you." He glared daggers at Jen.
The blonde laughed nervously. "Then why did you helped me?" she asked.
"Because I pity you," Thundercracker leaned forward and kissed the girl's forehead gently. "Now go you stupid femme… before I change my mind." He growled.
Jen let out a chuckle. "I won't change my mind when you want to defect to the Autobots, Thundercracker." She smiled and waved her hand.
Thundercracker sighed heavily before letting his holoform disappeared. He hated that a lot of squishes were going to sit on him with their filthy suitcase in his cockpit. He was also mad that he has to change his alt-mode to an airplane instead of a military jet. But he was the only one who didn't want Jen to get killed because she made Megatron mad by bringing two of his best Decepticons to the Autobots' side and set his prisoners free. The jet now airplane flies off from the launch path and was ready to do his mission; dumped the humans at the Atlantic Ocean.
~Now~
"—So I was pretty much relieved when you guys didn't found out that I was the Sweden girl… Or else Sideways or Knockout will find out and kill me themselves." Jen laughed nervously.
"Shit Jen! I'm so sorry we didn't realize sooner!" Will immediately embraced the girl to a tight hug.
"It's quite alright…" Jen hugged the soldier back. She did her handshake with Sam, saluted Ultra Magnus and Barricade, hug with Bumblebee and Epps, get hugged by Blurr, got her hair messed up by Ironhide, and shook hands with Prowl. Sideswipe was too stunned to even move, but he did contact his brother to come as quickly as possible to the courtroom. Jen turned to face the Lamborghini in disguised. "Hey… Sideswipe… You okay there? You spaced out a lot." She said smiling slightly.
"THANK PRIMUS YOU'RE ALRIGHT JEN!" Sideswipe yelled loudly, making everyone ad everybot flinch around him. He embraced the slight shorter femme in front of him as they all laughed. The red twin just hugged Jen while she raised an eyebrow and patting his back to calm him down. The mech was just too happy, that he didn't even realize that he suddenly kissed Jen… on the lips by accident. They both quickly parted away and blushed, acting all nervous around each other.
"Sideswipe… You glitch head!" Ironhide raised his fist.
"'Hide! Chill!" Will laughed.
"Yeah Sides… Nice move…" Bumblebee teased as he raised his eyebrow in amusement, he then high five with his brother, Sam, and Epps while a goofy grin was plastered on their faces.
"Awww… This was a Kodak moment and I didn't even get to bring my camera." Mikaela pouted and crossed her arms crossed over her chest.
"Don't worry sweetheart, momma got the goods!" Chromia held a Handy Camera on her hand and she was also grinning. "And it's on video record." She smirked.
"Ah… ups… forgot to turn that thing off…" Sideswipe admitted nervously.
Jen slightly nodded and she gave a weak smiled. "Oh yeah… I wanted to thank you guys for everything… I saw everything on what happen at the court… You were great out there Robert… I didn't know you could be such a good Lawyer." She praised as Epps grinned, which got him a one way ticket to a smack on the back of his bald head from Will.
"And Barricade… Thank you… For getting all of those evidence with Prowl… I really appreciate it…" Jen gave a salute to the two police officers as they nodded and smiled.
"Mostly… Thank you… Uncle Will…" Jen teased.
"Please," Will ruff Jen's hair. "You can call me Uncle… Or Dad would be good too."
"Alright…"
"SIDES! I got here as fast as I can! What's the emergen—," Sunstreaker froze as he saw a familiar blonde next to his twin.
"Jen?" He asked, blinking is his holoform's eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Yeah?" Jen answered.
"Primus! It really is you!" Sunstreaker gave a tight hug.
"Okay! What's with the hugs? I can breathe here." Jen laughed nervously.
"It is really good to have you back Jan- I mean Jennifer." Ultra Magnus corrected himself and Jen nodded.
"Jennifer? I thought… You know what? Never mind that… We're just glad you're back with us…" Sunstreaker whispered.
Jen gave a shrug to Chromia and Mikaela as she was being hugged by the twins. The two femmes only gave two thumbs up while Ironhide was cursing underneath his breath. Will, Epps, and Sam were laughing. Ultra Magnus, Prowl, and Barricade were slightly smiling. And of course Blurr was grinning happily. This was truly a Kodak moment for them. First they won the court and second they have their comrade back, save and sound.
Bumblebee smiled as he approached the twins and Jen. "You know what? You guys are lucky… But don't think that I won't give up just yet guys. I might steal the gem from right under your noses." He gave a wink and kissed Jen's cheek.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker smirk. "Like we'll ever let our gem get stolen from us, She's the one and only for us, Bee… Get another." They both responded and the three ended up in a glaring contest, leaving Jen puzzled.
"What is wrong with them?" Jen questioned out loud, making everyone around her chuckled and laughed. "Seriously… Why are they glaring at each other? Is there something that I said was wrong?" She asked.
Mikaela elbowed Jen on her ribs. "Looks like this is going to be a square!" She squealed happily.
"What's wrong with a square? I think it's cool." Jen's puzzled look was making them laugh harder.
"Nothing Jen! It's really nothing!" Sam grinned.
Jen let out a sigh, but smiled.
"You guys are really weird… But I like it."
