A/N Thank you for the reviews/alerts/ favorites. The updates on this story from now will be slow because I got a job and I will not have much free time as before. I know this chapter is short but the other one will be longer. Hope you like this chapter.

Somewhere in the Nevada desert...

The bounty hunter proudly walked around his ship followed by two large wolves, making sure that everything was in his place. He walked into the trophy room where he kept the creatures from other planets, sealed in hanging cages; the creatures retreated further into their cages when they saw Lockdown entering in. The bounty hunter admired his big collection as he looked around the trophy room.

"Soon my collection will be complete," he said in a cold voice; a little smile played on his lips as he looked at the two empty cages hanging from the ceiling. Lockdown patted one of the wolves with his servo, scratching him behind the ears and with the other one touched the cold metal bars of the cage.

"Yes, very soon," he repeated.

The wolf growled softly, licking his master's hand.

All of a sudden, a beeping sound filled the trophy room informing Lockdown about incoming transmission.

"What do they want now?" Lockdown quietly mumbled to himself with a sigh as he left the trophy room and went to his computer room. He approached his computer, and slowly pressed a button; the black screen vanished and an image of a pink slimy egg-shaped creature with big black eyes resembling that of black holes appeared on the screen in front of him.

"What do you want?" Lockdown calmly asked, as he sat on the metal chair in front of the computer screen. He wasn't pleased with their constant checking.

"Do you have them?" the creature asked.

"Not yet," Lockdown replied. "I'm working on it."

"You are working on it for four human months, and you still didn't capture them. The others and I are slowly losing our patience, and you don't want to see us when we lose our patience."

"This type of hunting requires careful planning," Lockdown calmly replied, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together. "Optimus Prime isn't a fool and he will not go without a fight, beside you hired me because I'm the best there is."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Why didn't you capture him when you had the element of surprise?"

"Because, where's the fun in it? The hunting is even more exciting if the prey knows that is hunted."

"And what about human female? Why didn't you capture her yet?"

"I made a mistake with her. I assigned Barricade to bring her here, but he failed. I should have never assigned a Decepticon to do bounty hunters work, but I take care of it."

"We know…. " the creature said, surprising Lockdown. "We know that the Autobots captured him and we know that you kill him. We also know that he expose us to the Autobots, and now they know we are coming."

"How did you know?" Lockdown asked, with a shocked expression on his face.

"You forget that we track all of our creations trough the universe and that includes you too."

"Then you also know that he didn't manage to tell them more about you."

"Yes, because you were lucky."

"Luck has nothing to do with that; as I said I'm the best there is. I will deliver Optimus Prime and human femme to you very soon."

"We hope so, for your own good. We wouldn't want to be forced to destroy you."

"I don't like being threatened," Lockdown growled, trough greeted teeth. His optics narrowed at the creature on the computer screen.

"It's not a threat; it's a promise, and you should be able to differentiate these two things. We will contact you later, to see how are you progressing." the creature said, preparing to end the transmission.

"There is one thing that was bugging me since I came to this planet," Lockdown began, stopping creature for ending the transmission. "I know why you want Optimus Prime, but why do you need the human femme?" he asked.

"Because, she is one of a kind," the creature replied.

"How can she be one of a kind?" the bounty hunter asked. "There are seven billion humans on this planet; what's so special about her that you want her so much?"

"The human female wasn't born" the creature said. "She was created."

The information shocked Lockdown.

"By whom?" he asked.

"By a Decepticon," the creature said, ending the transmission.

"This just keeps getting better and better," Lockdown said, leaning back in his chair, smiling.
