The hospital was in chaos as someone was attacked a second time that day, not to mention it was a nurse. They shut down the hospital, trapping everyone inside to question them further and try to catch the killer.

Arcee held on to Orion and looked around for her baby girl, calling her name as Jack and Cliff stayed with her. The father and Jack made a break for it and looked for the little girl as the father tried not to panic. Cliff looked around frantically and ran into Bulkhead who also looked frantic.

"Have you seen Peregrine?!" Cliff asked at the same time the bigger man asked his own question of concern.

"I can't find Miko, have you seen her?!" Bulkhead stressed then stopped as he processed what the other man had said.

"No... I haven't...." they both said and glanced around as Jack frowned deeply, how were both girls missing? Unless they found each other in the chaos.

"They might be together holed up somewhere." the teen said as he looked at them. "Doesn't Miko go visit Andi sometimes?" he asked.

"Well it wouldn't be Ratchet.... she annoys the crap out of him." Bulkhead said as he headed towards the other room that was suggested. As they went, one nurse was running to the room where Andi stayed.

The bigger man gasped and ran forward only to stop at the doorway and stare. Jack came over and froze as he saw his mother on the ground. His world seemed to stop as he watched them attempt to save her but she wasn't moving. He felt his blood turn to ice and his heart broke as the realization settled over him.

The teen felt a scream rising from his chest but no sound came out. He suddenly felt so small and his world started to spin as he tried to focus. He heard them pronounce her dead and give the time. He heard the scream of anguish leave him and he rushed forward, even though his limbs felt like led, he made himself move. He fell to his knees as the room spun and he held his mothers head to his shoulder as he hugged her close. His heart breaking as each second passed. He let himself cry and scream as he held on to his mothers now lifeless form. The others in the room just moved away as the teen mourned for his mother.

After a moment he felt someone kneel by him and pull him into a shaky hug. He didn't fight and knew he had to let them take his mother. He looked to the person that was now hugging him as he let go of his mother. He sobbed into Optimus as he tried to calm down. The old cop watched them take the teens mother away as he stared blankly and tried to comfort him.

Jackson Darby was now an orphan.

Megatron walked through the hallways as quickly as he could without being suspicious. He hadn't seen Beta in a while and Baylee was with her brother. He glanced around as he saw and heard the panic. Why did he leaved her? He stayed hidden as he saw a firefighter looking around outside before he came back in. He watched as Heatwave went over to him. The ex-mafia leader recognized the young man as Beta's middle son.

"Where is she?" Heatwave asked as he narrowed his eyes and looked around, panic quickly filling him.

"I don't know. She was with me as we headed out and suddenly disappeared. I've looked everywhere but I can't find her." He quickly explained. Heatwave shook his head and yelled angrily, knowing his father had her. She wouldn't just leave.

"Tarn has her... she doesn't wander like that when he's..." he trailed off and looked around as tears filled his eyes. Megatron remained hidden and narrowed his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.

"It's okay.We can just get her back. I'm sure-"

"You don't understand! He'll kill her before the day is over!" Heatwave exploded as he looked at him. "Tarn... will.... kill... her." he choked on each word the went to a chair and sat down. How was he going to tell Soundwave?

Megatron listened for a moment then glanced towards an ambulance as it came up to the doors. He decided to make his move. The medics quickly took a young man out of the back and quickly went inside. The mafia leader recognized him as Smokescreen and he furrowed his brow before slipping out.

He quickly made his way to his car and got out of their, texting Baylee before he left.

She told him to be safe and bit her lip as she looked to the window. A storm was coming, despite it being a sunny day, she could feel it. She only hoped her father didn't get caught in this storm and die again.

Bumblebee heard about the fire and ran over to his brother as they wheeled him in. He tried talking to him but the medics told him to stay back for now. The young cop stopped and watched them go then narrowed his eyes. He looked over to where the firefighters were and went over, but stopped as he overheard part of what they said.

"I'm going after her. I'm not letting him kill my mother." Heatwave said and went towards the doors.

"And how are you going to do that? We would need the team together... even though.... there isn't much left of our rescue team..." he muttered and looked to his feet.

"They're trying to get back together... we had to wait for Blades to fully recover, remember?" Heatwave muttered in irritation. "He had to go through a lot to get better." he said seriously. Kade nodded and sighed as he rubbed his face.

Bumblebee stared blankly as he realized something after talking to Arcee, Bulkhead and some staff. Miko, Peregrine and Beta were missing and had gone missing during the chaos. Knockout and June were dead and had died the same way, through a fast acting poison.

The cop glared and called his team up, not only his, but Ultra Magnus' old team as well. Drift was in charge of it now and Bee knew they needed to get to the bottom of this. He was told that they found Grimlock and were on their way, but they lost five more people, including the deaths.

"One step forward and too many back." the young cop growled as he made a few calls. "Come on... let's end this." he muttered angrily as the phone rang.

Tesarus sighed in relief as they got to the second cabin, since the first one was compromised. Nickel was already making dinner as he walked in carrying the small sleeping boy. She looked at them and blinked in surprise but said nothing as the man took the child upstairs. Tarn entered with Beta and his expression was dark, Vos and Helex close behind.

"W... where's Kaon? And Pet?" Nickel asked and the leader glared at her for a moment before his expression softened. Beta frowned a little and feared for the young girl.

"He is no longer a member of the DJD and a traitor to all of us." he said then walked down the hall as he gripped the woman's arm harshly. Nickel couldn't help but stare at the woman's scars and how Tarn was pulling her around with hatred and anger.

"W.... Who was that?" she asked trying to be careful, since they all seemed angry about a few things.

"His ex-wife." Vos spat as he glared at her then huffed as he sat on the couch, he was mad that Kaon left them. "That blind idiot will pay." he seethed as he folded his arms and glared. Helex was about to answer when the door opened and Pharma came in with two others.

The two men started to get mad at him and asked what he was doing. He yelled back as he shoved the unconscious Miko to the floor. Peri hugged her cousin and sobbed then screamed as they continued to argue.

"Shut up all of you!" Nickel yelled at the top of her lungs. Surprisingly, they all fell silent and looked to her as she put her hands on her hips. "Now stop arguing and sit your butts down at the table to eat. Now." she demanded and pointed to the said room. "Helex!" She snapped. "Get these two girls somewhere so they don't run off. Honestly you stupid heads need to use your brains." She huffed and walked off.

They put the two girls in another room that was upstairs by the boy. Tarn came out of the room where he took Beta, and looked at them then sat in the dining room to discuss the list. Nickel was silent and curious about their guests.

What were they planning now?

Windblade sighed as she smiled and walked down the street. she had just gone on a date with Wheeljack, and actually enjoyed it. She was curious to get to know him better and was glad she went on her first date with him. She paused as she heard someone behind her. She turned around ready to fight as she saw a man she didn't know.

"Windblade?" He asked as he watched her intently and she furrowed her brow. "Drifts daughter?" He said. She glared but said nothing as she clenched her fists.

"That's all I needed to know." He chuckled darkly and shot her in the head. Killing her instantly before she even hit the ground. Shock and surprise in her eyes as she stared at the sky.

Barricade looked at her and cocked his head to the side. He then looked around a little as he smirked. He inhaled deeply as he felt powerful and in control.

"Come and get me." He sneered to no one in particular before he walked off. Disappearing into the night.
