Chapter 4
After Bulkhead drove with Knock Out to his home the Wreaker went back to the hospital to help get to the bottom of what was going on.
The first thing Knock Out did upon going home was go to get some recharge but he was having trouble resting because he couldn't stop thinking about everything that had been happening at the hospital.
And he was worried about his friends. He decided to watch a movie to get his mind off thing since sleep was impossible right now.
So he went to his kitchen and got some energon and noticed the window had been opened so he closed it thinking it was odd because he didn't remember opening it but it didn't seem like it had been forced.
Knock Out brushed it off as having opened the window and forgotten about it do too being busy.
Then he started watching his horror movie while consuming his energon.
"Dummies you never make out in a horror flick." Knock Out said to some of the characters having gotten in to the movie.
"Well I know who at least two of the victims will be." He added at the edge of his seat. Then the characters scream. "I was right." He added with a smile before taking a sip of energon.
"Don't go in there." He told one of the characters. Then someone in the movie screamed. "When will they ever learn." He laughed shaking his helm as he leaned back into his chair.
Then suddenly he heard a crash and paused the movie and set his energon cube aside to go see what was going on.
He saw a shelf with a lot of his datapads had been knocked over.
"Ok how did this happen?" He thought as he started to clean up the mess.
But suddenly he heard what sounded like pedsteps. "Hey is anyone there?" He asked nervously.
But got no answer and didn't hear the pedsteps anymore. "I have to cut down on the horror movies their starting to get to me." Knock Out said to himself.
But the next thing he knew he was zapped with his own energon prob that the intruder had taken from his room. And Knock Out feel to the floor before blacking out not even seeing who zapped him.

Knock Out woke up awhile later but couldn't see anything because he was blindfolded with his servos tied behind his back.
"Hey where am I?" Knock Out shouted. "What's going on?"
"Your going to quit your job at the hospital." Said a voice that Knock Out recognized from the tape that had been left in Starscream's room after the attempt on the seekers spark.
"That's not gonna happen." Knock Out said fermly. "Why have you been doing all this to me and my friends and Cybertron's hospital?"
"All you medics are the same all those lives are just credits to you." The voice hissed.
"That's not true we do what we do to save lives." Knock Out responded.
"I think I'll leave you here for the night." The voice growled. "Oh and Doctor I wouldn't move if I were you." "You might fall off."
Than Knock Out heard what sounded like the bot leaving through a ground bridge.
Knock Out start trying to free himself but ended up falling off a drop of some kind and hit hard on something and was knocked unconscious by the impact.
_
Knock Out regained consciousness a little while later his whole frame hurt but the blindfold was still on him and his servos were still tied behind his back.
He didn't know where he was or what shape he was in. Or why that mech was doing this to him and what he had against medics.
"Focus Knock Out first line of business is to figure out where you are and how to get to safety and remove the blindfold and get your servos free." Knock Out told himself trying to figure out how to get out of his predicament.
He decided to try using his other senses he used his audio receptors but all he could here were city noises like horns honking and music from somewhere like there was a club nearby.
And he felt something under him that was metal strips and some of them were breaking off. Then he realized that they were shingles. And he was on a roof somewhere and could still fall and didn't know how big a drop it would be.
Then he thought of something if he really was in a city maybe he could call for help and someone would save him.
"Help!" Knock Out yelled at the top of his voice box hoping someone would hear him. "Someone please help me!" He continued to shout.
"Wow buddy your on an awning!" A mech said from below where Knock Out was.
"An awning?" Knock Out repeated.
"Yeah over the balcony on the 30th floor." The mech explained.
"Yikes!" Knock Out gulped.
"Of a 50 story building." The mech added.
"Oh scrap." Knock Out said now feeling sick as he realized it was just dumb luck that he landed on the awning instead of taking the full drop which would have killed him.
"Dude how did you get up there and don't you know how dangerous that is?" Asked the mech.
"Yes and I'm not here willingly." Knock Out told him.
"Oh it's an emergency want me to call someone?" Asked the mech.
"Yes please." Said Knock Out.
Then the mech took off to get help. While Knock Out held still trying his best not to fall off.

Meanwhile at the hospital one of the medics had just finished fixing Ratchet's legs and he was relieved to be able to stand up again.
And the other medics were relieved too because Ratchet kept telling them they were doing it wrong everytime they tried to fix part of him then insisting on them redoing it while he supervised.
One had stormed out and another one had asked if he could give him a sedative so he would shut up and let him work.
"Doctor's really do make the worst patients." Bulkhead joked when he heard about it.
Arcee just rolled her optics before she went to take her shift guarding Starscream.
Then Road Siren came in to chat with the Autobots wanting to get to know them better.
When suddenly Smokescreen ran in with a panicked look on his faceplates.
"What is it Smokescreen?" Asked Ratchet.
"I just got a call from Prowl it's about Knock Out." Smokescreen said before he explained the situation.
"He's where!" That all yelled at once.

After they all hurried to the scene they got there in time to see Jetfire lower Dropforge down on a rope they'd attached to his jet mode.
Then Dropforge untied Knock Out's servos and got the blindfold off him. And then Jetfire lowered a net and used it to get them both to safety.
Knock Out thanked both of them as well as the mech who called them which turned out to be Rattrap.
Then Road Siren ran over and hugged him. And the Autobots all went over and spoke to him glad he was ok. While Ratchet treated the damage had had received when he fell on the awning.
And Knock Out told them what happened. And they all agreed he was lucky and that they should all be careful till the mech who was causing all this trouble was behind bars.
And Prowl and Dropforge agreed to keep a look out for the mech. And told the them to call them if they needed any help and Jetfire was upset to hear about what shape Starscream was in having been friends with him before the war. But was glad to hear that the seeker had become an Autobot.
And Knock Out told Jetfire he could drop by the hospital anytime he wanted to visit Starscream and they could used all the help they could get guarding him. Both Knock Out and Jetfire hope Starscream would recover and be ok.
Though Knock Out was kind of glad the seeker hadn't seen his near death experience on the awning. Knowing Starscream would have a field day telling him how that wouldn't have been a problem had he chosen a flying vehicle mode.
But as far as Knock Out was concerned after what he just went through Starscream could have his jet mode. Knock Out wanted to keep his peds firmly on the ground.
Knock Out noticed there was a big crowd of bots and cons and learned that they had all gathered because they had misunderstood and thought a bot was jumping from the building.
"Believe me that's the last thing I wanted to do." Knock Out facepalmed hoping he'd be able to live that down.
He decided to go home and get some rest because now he didn't think he'd have any problems recharging because his ordeal had worn him out.
But this time Smokescreen decided to go with him and stay in the guest room to make sure he wouldn't get kidnapped again. And Knock Out didn't object having been frightened by what just happened to him.
To Be Continued.
Hope this chapter turned out ok. I'll try to get the next one up soon. In the meantime feel free to send feedback.
