The next morning Knock Out woke up in the medbay with a start but Ratchet and Failsafe both went in and told him he was safe. Then the red medic started to relax.

And they explained to him what had happened and how they'd gotten him away from Night Wolf and Pharma.

"Thanks for saving me." Knock Out told them. And he was glad to see Failsafe was alive and well after thinking she'd been shot and killed.

"I'm sorry I didn't find out what they were doing to you sooner I should have checked that basement more thoroughly and I should have known something was wrong when you didn't meet me there." Ratchet apologized.

"It's ok there's no way you could have known I was being held there." Knock Out tried to reassure him. "And I was the idiot who got himself caught."

"And Failsafe I'm sorry you got hurt trying to help me earlier and that I lied about who I was." He added.

"It's ok you were undercover you couldn't exactly say who you were and for the record I think Knock Out is a much better name and I think the red paint job looks hotter then the orange one did." She told him with a smile.

Just then they heard a knock at the door and a mech handed Knock Out a package then started to leave but Ratchet stopped him. 

"What's that package?" He asked.

"I don't know a couple of mechs just paid me to deliver it they didn't say what it was." The mech explained before leaving.

"It's not signed do you think it's safe?" Asked Knock Out.

"It's not ticking so I don't think it's a bomb." Added Failsafe.

"Let's see what it is then." Knock Out said as he opened the package to only for a razor snake to jump out at him.

Knock Out leaned as far back on the berth as he could to avoid the razor snake that was trying to bite him. Lucky Ratchet managed to grab it by the back of the neck and quickly put it back in the box before closing it.

"Are you ok?" Failsafe asked the cherry colored mech.

"It didn't bite you did it?" Asked Ratchet.

"No I'm fine it didn't bite me." Knock Out told them sounding shaken but starting to calm down.

"Good because I got a look at it's marking and that particular breed of razor snake is highly venomous." Ratchet explained.

"What was it doing in the package?" Knock Out asked not sounding happy.

Then they stopped a note and tape on the floor and Failsafe picked up the note and handed it to Knock Out who read it. And it said.

"Dear Knock Out.

"Hope you liked the gife we sent you and that it didn't kill you because it was supposed to send a message that we're going to make you pay for interfering with our plans."

"Oh and have you seen Starscream lately because we have him and will kill him if you don't come to the clinic tonight so we can settle the score."

"Oh and come alone or the seeker dies."

"Sighed."
"Night Wolf and Pharma."

Then they watch the tape that had the same message and they saw Starscream restrained to a berth and Night Wolf stab him in the wing. And knew how much danger their friend was in and were glad Sunsprite hadn't been in the room to see that.

"So what do we do?" Asked Failsafe.

"I don't have a choice I have to do what they say and go to meet them alone or they'll kill Starscream." Said Knock Out.

"But this is going to be a trap." Ratchet told him. "So we'll set the ground bridge to to clinic's location and bridge over as soon as you give the signal from your com-link or if you fail to return within 15 minutes."

"Deal." Knock Out told him.

"Be careful." Failsafe told him.

"I will be." He replied.
_                                                                       

Later that day Knock Out went to the clinic and found Pharma and Night Wolf waiting for him.

"I'm here as you requested now let Starscream go." Knock Out told them. But what they didn't know was Sunsprite had taken a ground bridge to get inside the clinic without them knowing it.

"I can't believe your willing to put yourself right back in danger to save your friend." Said Pharma.

"What a dumb move." Added Night Wolf as he injected Knock Out with the chemical restraint again before the red medic had time to react.

"Now do it." Night Wolf told Pharma. Who walked inside the clinic with a torch and was going to set it on fire.

"No.." "W..what a..are you.." "D..doing?" Knock Out managed to choke out. "S..star..scream.." "Is still.." "In there.."

"Exactly the seeker will die in the fire." Night Wolf hissed. "And all the evidence against us will burn with him."

"Y..you.. monsters..." "Ww..we..had.." "A deal..." Knock Out said finding it harder and harder to speak after being drugged again.

"We said we kill him if you didn't come we never said what we would do if you did." Night Wolf mocked the downed Austin Martin.

This was bad Knock Out couldn't reach his com-link to give the others the signal. He didn't expect Night Wolf to get him with the chemical restraint again so quickly he had been planning to run before the black and red transformer got to him but had underestimated how fast he was.

"When Pharma come back out we're taking you to a hide out we have set up so I can finish making you suffer." Night Wolf growled at Knock Out who could only look up at him.
_                                                                       

Meanwhile inside the clinic Sunsprite had found the basement where she saw Starscream strapped down on the berth and heavily drugged and unconscious from the circuit boosters.

Then she saw smoke and flames coming from the hallway and Pharma who had just about finished starting the fire about to leave and she ran over and talcked him not about to let him walk out and leave Starscream to die.

The next thing Pharma knew he was being attacked by an angry seeker femme. Pharma punched Sunsprite knocking her back and injured one of her legs as he finished starting the fire and ran towards the exit and Sunsprite was forced to choose between going after him or saving Starscream she chose the later.

Sunsprite managed to limp over to the berth unfortunately with her injured leg she wouldn't be able to move him.

"Starscream wake up we have to get out of here!" She cried. But he was so heavily drugged he didn't respond. And she wasn't about to leave him there. So desperately kept trying to rouse him and pleading for him to wake up.

While at the sometime Pharma rushed to the exit only to be greeted by Ratchet who had just brought Prowl and some other members of the police force who grabbed Pharma and slapped a pair of stasis cuffs on him. But he broke free and Prowl had to shoot him and he died instantly.

While Ratchet rush in to help Sunsprite and Starscream seeing not only was Sunsprite not able to move Starscream but that the flames were now blocking the path between the seekers and the exit.

So he grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and start using it on the flames and fortunately he managed to put it out.

Then went to check on the two seekers and called another ground bridge to take them to the hospital where First Aid and Red Alert were waiting to treat them.
_                                                                      

Meanwhile Night Wolf saw Pharma die and that the fire had been put out and spotted Prowl coming his way.

He looked down at Knock Out who to spite being drugged and feeling really bad and out of it smirked being just conscious enough to know one of his enemies had just been killed and the other was about to be arrested.

Night Wolf wanted to get revenge on Knock Out but wouldn't be able to carry the red mech without being caught because it would slow him down so he decided to use the red sports car to cover his escape instead.

"This isn't how I wanted to get my revenge!" He growled as he stabbed his claws in to Knock Out's midsection then jerked it back out and change into his alt mode and drove off leaving the now severely wounded red medic behind.

Prowl seeing what happened rushed over to the cherry colored transformer's side. Ratchet had come out and saw Prowl leaning over Knock Out.

Night Wolf had just escaped but right now both Prowl and Ratchet were more worried about Knock Out's wellbeing especially when Ratchet saw how deep and serious the wound was.

"He's alive but just barely and bleeding out fast." Ratchet said as he jumped into action as his medical training kicked in. "I need an emergency ground bridge to the hospital now!" He yelled over his com-link.

They wasted no time sending them one and Failsafe who had stayed at the Autobot base on Knock Out's request because he didn't want her anywhere near Pharma or Night Wolf after they'd nearly killed her the last time. Was told what happened by Prowl over the com-link and wasted no time bridging over to the hospital as a medic herself she wanted to help anyway she could.

And she and Ratchet ending up being the two to operate on him because Red Alert and First Aid were just finishing with Starscream and Sunsprite who fortunately were both going to be fine. Starscream just hadn't woken up yet.

Ratchet and Failsafe were currently doing everything in their power to save the red medic. Right now all that was on their minds was would Knock Out live?
