(19) Stupid idea

Jazz and Katy were having a serious conversation. I saw it by the look in their faces. Jazz also seemed pretty angry. Not with her, but with someone else. I'm sure that if I approach they stop talking and change the subject or Jazz will leave. I also end up in awkward situations. My gaze slid through the cafeteria. Everyone sitting together and here I was, all alone. Kammie went out with friends or something. She didn't really give me specific details. Why was Jazz so fed up? It kept me occupied until I felt a hard slap on my back. I grunted; turning my head.

Sideswipe held a cheeky grin and sat down. 'What?' I muttered. 'You're alone. You hate being alone.' He threw an M&M in the air and caught it with his mouth. 'And how many times did you almost choke doing that?' I taunted. He smirked and offered me a few. I grabbed a couple. 'Hey, you always hear something, right? Rumors and stuff.' Sideswipe nodded while chewing. 'You want to know what's up between these two?' He gestured at Katy and Jazz. I nodded. His face turned serious, I was not used of seeing that.

He bend over. 'Look, I don't know the whole story. Ironhide really tries to keep me out of this, but I have picked up a few things. If I tell you this, you need to promise to keep it a low profile. You just accept it and drop it. Otherwise I'll never tell you anything again.' I nodded slowly. 'Alright, sure... go on.' He sucked in a breath. 'There's a traitor in this base and they know who it is. Katy has pictures on her phone and showed Prime. I don't know who it is, but I do know that they're trying to see the bigger picture. Our traitor is also a 'her', if I heard it right. Why they don't tell you surprised me too, this is typically something you should be worrying about.'

I sighed heavily. 'Great...' I muttered. 'A couple of days ago, Katy was really upset. It was the evening you two went on that little mission because Jazz wasn't around. I asked her about it, she said she was scared you'll start hating her. I think she wants to keep you out of this because it has something to do with you. She's trying to protect you, man.' I frowned. 'I have many enemies, Sideswipe. She can't protect me from them.'

'I know...' his voice died down and I caught him staring at the table. 'What?' Sideswipe bit his lip. There was something else, but he didn't want to say it out loud. He gazed at Katy for a moment. 'I think she really wants this to work out, but she's stuck between two sides. The way she spoke about you made me believe she starts to develop feelings for you.' I looked at Katy. It's impossible not to like her, but I was dating Kammie and I'm loyal to her. 'I love her sister.' Sideswipe didn't reply and played with some m&m.

'But you got no idea who the traitor is?'

'No, I don't.' Sideswipe has always been a bad liar. Just as I wanted to confront him, he was called. He jumped up and sped off; leaving his m&m's behind. I grabbed and started eating out of pure frustration. Katy and Jazz finished shortly after. The femme walked up to me and sat down. She stole an m&m from the bag and was quiet for a long time. I stared at her and eventually caught her eyes. 'Stuck?' She nodded slowly. 'I can help. I'm a brilliant spy and I'm supposed to work on this type of missions. I am Optimus's best spy. I've always been the best and you know that. Jazz is not a spy.'

'I know, but I am and you're the only Autobot spy left, so it's not a surprise you're the best because they're literary no one else,' she sneered before she stormed off. I tried not to take that personally. She's struggling and they need me. It gave me satisfaction. I got up and walked off. I'm going to pressure Sideswipe a little bit. It's not that hard to break him in the right environment and setting.

I found him later, doing a little bit of cleaning. At least, that was what he was supposed to but instead he was on his phone. 'Sideswipe.' He looked up and became suspicious. I held up four of his favorite candy bars. He dropped the broom and put his phone away. 'I have high grade too...' I held up the whisky. 'Never had that before, is it strong?'

'Nah, don't worry about it.' I sat him down and filled the entire glass with whisky. He grabbed it and sniffed. 'Smells strong.' I shook my head. 'I can drink the entire bottle without getting drunk or are you implying you do? Then I'll take it.' I tried to snitch it from his hand but he pulled back. 'No! I can take it.'

It took him not even 45 minutes to get complete drunk. I lifted his chin. 'What did you hear, Sideswipe? Who's the traitor?' He chuckled. 'Traitor?' He slurred. 'Yes, who is it?' I snapped. 'Traitor!' He squealed, laughing at himself. I tightly grabbed his jaw. 'Who is it!' He chuckled again. I slammed him against the wall this time. He whimpered. 'You're hurting me.' I tightened my grip, digging my nails in his shoulder. 'Talk to me!' I screamed. He flinched and turned his head away. I smelt his nerves and even a little bit of fear. I had to hurry. Sunstreaker probably knows something is up with him. 'Sideswipe...' I said with a forced calmness. 'Who is the traitor!'

'I don't know.'

He slammed him against the wall again. 'Who is it!' I screamed in his face. Sideswipe flinched. 'I don't know...' he was so drunk he barely could stand on his feet. As I let go he dropped on the floor with a loud thud. 'Ow,' I muttered. 'Who is it!' He looked up. 'I don't know,' he repeated again. I really started losing my patients. 'Why are you such a waste of space! You can't even answer one single question!'

Someone cleared his throat. I took a step back. Sunstreaker was beyond furious. 'Sunny...' he charged at me and hit me a couple of times before throwing me against some cargo. I watched his sit besides his twin. He gently grabbed his face. 'What the hell did you do to him!'
'He's only drunk.' I glanced at the half empty bottle of whisky. Sunstreaker rubbed his brothers face. 'If I'm sure he's okay, you're going to die.' My spine ran cold. 'I need to know who the traitor is! He knows! I need to know.'

'Reacting your anger and frustration on my brother is one thing but this...' Sunstreaker cut himself off and turned towards his brother who had buried his face in his chest by now. 'Sideswipe?' All he got was a long groan. 'Come on, Sideswipe, you need to sleep this off.' Sunstreaker got up and helped Sideswipe stand. 'He's not a waste of space!' Sunstreaker spat out before leaving. I sat down on some cargo, rubbing my face. Great.
