Sentinel Prime

"Wait, but why would Decepticons want to kill humans? I thought their war was with the Autobots," Carly spoke.

"It is, but they're wicked. They'll do anything and they'll harm anyone or any bot to get what they want," I told her.

"It just doesn't make sense though. What is it that they want?" she asked as we climbed up the stairs to the second hangar level.

"I have no clue what they're after this time. I just hope Starscream has gotten over himself as of lately," I responded quietly.

"I highly doubt it, Lea," Sam stated. I scoffed and Carly shot me a look.

"What are you two talking about?" she questioned.

I just shook my head at her and continued on through the upper level door. "I'll talk to you about it later," I told her.

Sam and my dad stopped and the two of us walked over to them. Sam took out his papers from earlier and handed them to my dad. My dad took them and curiously eyed the sheets. Sam barely got a word out before a loud, annoying voice rang through the air.

"Excuse me! Colonel Lennox," Mearing huffed.

My dad turned to face her. "Director Mearing, this is Sam Witwicky," my dad started.

"I know who he is Colonel. I want to know who gave him clearance," she chided.

I rolled my eyes.

"Who gave me clearance? How about Optimus Prime when he touched down in Suburbia looking for my house," Sam shot back. I let out a snicker and my dad elbowed me in the arm.

"This is the National Intelligence Director. In case you didn't know," my dad informed Sam.

He immediately perked up, realizing his mistake. "Hi."

Mearing just gave him a look. "Disrespecting the federal officer. Maybe that'll get you somewhere. Who are they?" she asked, motioning towards me and Carly. I raised a brow. Did she have memory problems? I was almost certain that the two of us met a while back. How else would I have known about her shitty personality.

"Carly. She's my girlfriend and you've met Azalea before. She Colonel Lennox's daughter," Sam answered.

"Ah. So what is this? Is it like a date? Is it a family gathering or something?"

Carly's smile dropped and I just rolled my eyes again.

"They know all about the Autobots, okay? Carly knows Bumblebee and Ironhide, and Azalea is Ironhide's mate. Carly comes from a military family and obviously so does Azalea. I can vouch for them," my dad said.

"Hey, I have an idea. How about we get back to the important topics here, like the fact that Azalea and I almost had our faces cut off by a Decepticon," Sam grumbled.

"Alright. Okay. Listen. One of the software engineers in Sam's office was murdered today. He was involved in NASA's lunar mapping program," my dad said. He handed the bundle of papers to Mearing who took them quickly. She glanced at the first page before handing them off to a woman.

"Here's the thing Colonel Lennox. We can not entrust national security to teenagers. Unless I missed a policy paper, are we doing that now? No. Good."

I scoffed. "Excuse me. We're not teenagers."

She turned to us. "I don't care what you are. If you breathe a word of what you see in here, you will do time for treason. Do you understand me?" she threatened.

Sam squinted his eyes at her. "I'll take my orders from the Autobots. I know them, I don't know you," he said. I smirked at his response. Sassy Sam was definitely my favorite Sam.
