A/N Sorry for not updating yesterday I was tired when I got back from work. Special thanks to KayleeChiara :) Thank you all for the reviews/alerts/ favorites. I'm so happy to see that you like this story so much.

I was so mad at my mom for trying to control my life. She never acted like this before, what got into her? I thought to myself as I packed my things. Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door. Probably my mom, I thought.

"GO AWAY I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW!" I shouted.

"Sandy it's me," a male voice said, on the other side of the door. "Your father; open the door."

I walked to the door and unlocked them.

""How are you?" my dad asked softly, as he entered my room.

"Upset," I replied.

He nodded.

"Come sit," my dad said, grabbing my hand and sitting me down on the bed. "I want to talk to you. I know you are angry at your mother right now," he began, as he sat next to me on the bed. "But, moving out isn't a solution; you need to talk to her."

"I tried dad, but she won't listen," I said, lowering my head.

"Your mother is a very stubborn woman," he said, grabbing my chin and lifting my head up. "But, you are too; you are your mother's daughter."

I quietly listened to him.

"So, what should I do?" I asked.

"Well, first don't move out and second talk to her again. You have to understand that all parents want the best for their children."

"I know that dad, but why she doesn't want to give Ironhide a chance?" I asked. "She does not even want to meet him."

"She has her reasons for that," he said, looking down at his hands.

I looked at my dad confused.

"What kind of reasons?"

"For that you will have to ask your mother," my dad said, as he got up from the bed and began to walk toward the door of my room. "So, are you going to stay?" he asked, turning his head to look at me.

"Yes," I said.

"Good," he said, smiling before he walked out the door.

Spectra drove down to a small café at the corner of Williams and Green; she turned off her engine and stepped out of the car. She looked left and right, making sure no one was following her, before she headed toward the front door of the café. Spectra opened the door of the café and entered; the people who were sitting at the café, sipping their coffee turned their heads to see who entered, before they continue the conversation with the person across from them. Spectra's gaze went from one table to another searching for someone, and soon she spotted the person she was looking for. A man in his early thirties, dressed in a black suit, with dark brown hair that was almost black was sitting in a chair in the corner of the café, reading newspapers.

Spectra quickly made her way over to the table and sat across him.

"Long time no see," the man said quietly, still reading the newspapers; not bothering to look at the person who sat down.

"Yeah," Spectra shortly replied.

"I was surprised when you called me," the man began. "Especially after what happened in Florida," he said, still not lifting his head to look at her. "What do you want?" he asked calmly.

"I need a favor from you," Spectra said.

"Oh, really?" the man said, as he lifted his head to meet her gaze. "What kind of a favor?" he asked, his reddish-brown eyes fixed on Spectra's violet-blue eyes.

"I want you to keep an eye on my daughter," she said.

"Eye….? Daughter….?" the man said surprised, not believing the words that came out of Spectra's mouth. "Wow, I have to admit that you blended very well into human society. Hiding among humans was a great idea" he said, clapping his hands.

"I'm not amused," Spectra said, narrowing his eyes at him.

"I can see that," he replied. "Why do you want me to keep an optic on her?"

"Because, she is dating an Autobot and I'm afraid for her."

"An Autobot?"

"Yes, and not just any Autobot, but Optimus Prime's right hand and second in command."

"Your sparkling is with Ironhide!?" the man said shocked; his eyes wide open. "Does he know?" he asked, leaning toward Spectra.

"No," she whispered. "And I want to stay that way."

"Good luck with that," the man said, leaning back in his chair. "We both know Ironhide, and it's only a matter of time when he will find out the truth" he said. "Beside, I'm not a babysitter, I'm a soldier."

"You forget that I'm your superior and you have to listen to my orders," Spectra remind him.

"I thought you needed a favor?" the man said sarcastically.

"And I thought you didn't forget the day I saved you from the Autobots," Spectra said, looking him in the eyes. "Remember? You were running from them and you were badly injured."

"I didn't forget it," he said, leaning toward Spectra again. "And I also didn't forget who wounded me," he said, trough his gritted teeth. "The same Autobot your sparkling is with and now you want me to go and babysit her? The answer is NO!"

"Thundercracker…. "Spectra calmly began.

"What!?"

"You will do as I say, or I will go this instance and raveled to the Autobots your location."

"You would never do that; they will offline you, the moment they see you," Thundercracker said.

"I'm prepared to take that chance; the question is are you?" she asked.

Thundercracker looked deeply into Spectra's eyes searching for something that will tell him she's bluffing. But there was nothing; she was telling the truth.

"Alright, what I have to do?" he asked.
