"How much for the two of you?" asked the shuttle-former, bright optics leering down at Swerve and Tailgate standing outside a hotel holding hands. It looked cute. Cuteness always got them customers.
"Eight hundred for one cycle. Six hundred for each additional cycle." Swerve had become quite the bargainer, tracking the current rates and quoting prices based upon how many mechs were out selling themselves and how far from or to payday it was. The dreary weather of late had brought a slump in business and there wree a lot of streetwalkers out tonight.
"But you two hardly make up one mech put together," the Decepticon teased. They all teased that. "I should get the two of you for five hundred," he suggested.
"We could go to seven hundred for both of us for the first cycle, and five for each cycle afterward." Swerve countered. "That's half of what we charge on payday."
"And it isn't payday, is it?" The mech squatted down and reached a hand out to stroke it down Swerve's chestplate. "How about this?" He pulled a couple of shuttle-sized cubes of highgrade from subspace. One thousand and these two beauties for two cycles at my place. And you've gotta moan real nice for me. Hearing a little mech moan really gets my thrusters going if you know what I mean."
Swerve's visor glinted. "All right. You've got a deal."
The big mech handed Swerve the two cubes, and Swerve immediately subspaced them. Then the shuttle-former transformed and opened the door to his passenger compartment. "Get in."
Tailgate put his hand on Swerve's arm. "Are you sure about this?"
"Should be okay. I've seen him around here before and no one's said anything about him." He led the way inside and the two minibots strapped in for flight.
