Prowl stormed down the short walk of the command corridor to Optimus' office.

Prowl knew that he did not have any right to be angry. Nowhere in his agreement with Jazz had either of them mentioned any grievances against interfacing with other mechs.

However, Prowl could admit to himself that he liked to be in control. And that he had enjoyed being in control of the unpredictable entity known as Jazz.

Unprompted images of last night flashed across his optics. Of the spy usually so loud and brazen, pinned in silence ecstasy beneath him.

Distracted, Prowl forgot to knock before barging into the Prime's office.

As expected Optimus Prime was sitting behind his desk. What Prowl did not expect was the fact that the Prime had been applying a streak of red liner under his blue optics, that was now accidently smudged across his cheek.

"Prowl!" Optimus startled, quickly shoving the paint into a draw. "I apologise I was just... preparing for tonight's festivities."

"That was what I wanted to talk to you about Sir." Prowl said, marching across the room. "Commander Jazz has invited Devcon to attend this evenings party."

Prowl was hoping that Optimus would see the obvious danger that this posed. Instead the Prime just smiled.

"Excellent! The more the merrier!" He cried.

Prowl resisted the urge to call the Autobot leader a fucking idiot.

"Sir, for the record I would like it stated that I disagree with your decision and that I don't trust him."

"I shall make a note of it." Optimus said, grabbing a large datapad that presumably held a list of such similar statements Prowl had previous made. Once he'd finished, the Prime glanced back up at Prowl, still wearing that smile.

"Do I need to order you to attend the party tonight? Or can I trust that I will see you there?"

Actually Prowl had already spoken to Red Alert about taking first watch of the security cameras in an excuse to avoid attending the party at all.

However Devcon was clearly not to be trusted. It would be irresponsible to not have surveillance on him around Ja- the other Autobots.

So Prowl nodded.

"Yes sir, you can."


A/N: Sorry the past few chapters have been a bit short! But its meant I've been able to get them out quicker! Also I have been busy with a new fic in this series called "Streaks of Sunlight". As you may have noticed I have added some Blue Streak x Sunstreaker moments into this fic. But I couldn't fit in all the scenes of them that I wanted too without drastically taking away attention from Prowl and Jazz. So now they've got their own fic which is set before and during this one! If you want to check it out then check out my profile and it should be the latest in this Across This New Divide series. I hope you guys enjoy it! Xxxxxxx
