Karina's POV

I now know the names of the other three autobots. The female is Arcee, the leader is Optimus and lastly Ratchet, who is their medic. "And since you now know of our existence, I fear that as of last night the Decepticons know of yours" Optimus states.

"Got it, we spot any strange vehicles, call 911 - Can we go now?" Jack asks.

"Are you insane? I'm living a dream here in Bots-wana and I will not allow you or anyone else to shatter it" Miko tells Jack annoyed.

"It is best that you three remain under our watch.At least until we can determine our enemies' intentions" Optimus states. Just then an alarm goes off.

"What's that?" I ask pulling Raf close. Bumblebee beeps and whirs.

"Proximity sensor someone's on top" Raf translates.

"It's Agent Fowler" Ratchet states pulling up a camera of the roof.

"I-I thought we were the only humans who know about you guys" Jack says.

"Special agent Fowler is our designated liaison to the outside world, as he tends to visit only when there are issues.It may be best if you do not meet him at this time" Optimus tells us. We all run and hide. A tall black middle aged man steps out of the elevator.

"Seven wrecks, thirty four fender benders, a three hour traffic jam, and on particular note numerous reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make and a black-and-yellow custom muscle car! So, anything you care to get up your tin chassis, Prime?" he asks annoyed.

"We have the situation under control Agent Fowler" Optimus assures him.

"They're back, aren't they?" Agent Fowler asks him.

"If you are referring to the Decepticons I have doubts that they ever left.Your planet is much too valuable" Optimus says.

"Then it's time to wake up the Pentagon" Fowler states.

"Hear me, agent Fowler.We are your best, possibly your only defense against the Decepticon threat" Optimus tells him.

"Says you" Fowler says and I clutch my fists.

"Hey, fleshy! Did anyone get splattered on that freeway? Team Prime knows when to use force and how much to use" Bulkhead tells him. While crushing a mechanical device.

"Bulkhead, I needed that!" Ratchet exclaims.

"Enough" Optimus says firmly. "Military involvement will only result in catastrophe.Perhaps you can condone widespread human casualties, Agent Fowler.I, however, cannot" Optimus tells the agent.

"Then do us both a favor and handle this, Prime! Under the radar.Or I will" the agent states before leaving. We come out of hiding. Bulkhead made a snide comment.

"Agent Fowler is concerned for his world Bulkhead, as he should be" Optimus tells him.

"He still shouldn't treat you that way, if you're allies" I state crossing my arms.

"Blasted Earth check! Cliffjumper's signal popped back online" Ratchet announces.

"Who's Cliffjumper?" Miko and I ask in unison.

"How is that possible?" Optimus asks.

"It isn't, another bug. The system is chock-full of them" Ratchet states.

"If there's any chance Cliff's alive" Arcee says.

"Ratchet, prepare sickbay.We may need it" Optimus instructs.
