When they got to the library it was hard to tel that it even was a library in general, due to having no one to keep it up and the many times a Decepticon decided to destroy things the library looked like a complete wreck. Walking through a hole in the wall Christina was met with a row of tattered old books some looking like they wore never messed with while others looked as if they went through a fire then run over by a truck. "Remind me why we're here again?" Christina asked as she held up a old tattered book the soon dropped said book.

James shrugged. "Like I said I thought it would be nice to get out." He said

Christina only nodded she turned away from him and looked at a few decent looking books. She pulled one down off a shelf and looked at the cover. 'Micheal vey: prisoner of cell 25' she tempered reading that book in her spar time when she was younger but she had some how managed to lose it. Seeing as there was no use for it at the library and she highly doubt anybody would be checking out the book anytime soon so she held the book in one hand and continued looking around.

"Why would you take a book that looks like it was hit by a missile?" James asked

Christina glanced at him before looking at another shelf. "Because I like to read and it's been while since I've read this book." She said.

James nodded. Out of the corner of his right eye he saw one out of two alt forms of Soundwave drive up (being a Mercedes Benz.) James looked around hopping that what was surely to happen would t happen fast as it would look suspicious if it happened right as they got there. "Hey Christina look at that!" He suddenly exclaimed looking at a dusty old computer.

Christina looked in the direction he was pointing. "Dang that's old." She said and went over to it. She sat down in a chair and looked for the on button on the laptop. The laptop was a Mac which as of then was considered old. She turned it on and was met with what she figured was the screen saver of the Decepticon logo. She looked down at the 'google chrome' icon and noticed there was a tab already open. Who would have been there before them? Curiously she clicked on the icon and was met with a wanted picture of her self. She nearly fell out of her chair! The picture had a photo of Christina from when they had to be re-registered into the 'cons data base after a malfunction. At the bottom it had the words 'wanted alive' in bold lettering along with her name, her age, what she was last seen wearing, and who she had been with last. "Shiz.." she breathed

Suddenly with out warning the laptop begain to transform into the robotic bird form of Lazer beak Christina screamed as she purposely pushed the chair backwards causing it to fall, she flinched as her head hit the ground but shook off the pain as she relized the mechanical bird was inches away from her face. Out of pure instincts Christina shoved Lazerbeak away and stood up and took off, she grabbed ahold of James arm and ran for the way the cane in only to be met with the now transformed Soundwave. She quickly took off once again only to be stopped by James who refused to move. "James come on we can't stay!" Christina yelled

James stood there his head bowed with his hands gripped into fists. "I'm sarry." He said

"Sarry for what?! C'mon we can't stay here!" Christina said. "With out warning James had punched her in the face clearly aiming to knock her out but fire to Christina moving she was punched in the nose. She lifted a hand up to her nose and pulled it away. There was blood. She looked to James but before she could say anything she was punched once again this time she begin to fall to the ground if it wasn't for lazerbeak catching her and carrying her by his talons as he flew out the hole in the wall to Soundwave.

"There happy? I did your duty work for you." He said.

Soundwave said nothing, only dropped a bag down at James feet and then transformed around the unconscious Christina and took off leaving James standing there alone.

Connie smiled a rear ginuan smile as Mika told them a story of s time when Christina had helped her build a volcano for a project. "Then what happened?" She asked as she got out of the alt form of Gemblaze

"Then the volcano erupted and there was stuff all over the both of us! It was so funny!" Mika stated

Mika looked to the corner where Christina was last seen "where's Christina?" She asked

Jazz shrugged. "Last I saw her she was here." He turned towards Red Alert "where is she anyways it's been quit around here."

Red alert sighed. "Last I saw her she was talking to James in the corner she usually sits at. They should be still there o would have heard them if they left." He said

"She's not there and neither is James" Nolan said

Red alert quickly turned to the said corner. The only thing g there was Christina's phone which Nolan picked up.

" she never goes anywhere with out her phone, I have a bad feeling." He said

"Christina always states where she's going why would she suddenly not?" Mika asked

Connie bit her lip. "That James kid. Maybe he had something todo with it? I never really fully trusted him." She said

"If he did we need to figure it out." Prowl said suddenly he headed over to a sacuraty camera that was pointed to said corner of the room, and took out the tape. He walked over to the cybertronian sized computer and put it in. Nolan, Connie, and Mika wore lifted up by Gemblaze and Jazz so they could see.

"Hey Christina do you want to perhaps go to the library or something?" James asked

Christina had glanced to him then away. "I just told Mika I didn't want to go any where do you think I would have said yes to you?" She asked annoyed.

James looked away then back at her "I was just wondering since you know, it's been awhile and you've clearly been through a lot I thought it would be grate to get out or something."

Christina sighed and looked at him. "I swear if your trying to ask me out your about to be slapped across the face." She said flatly

A corrus of laughter went around the room. "Yep that sounds like Christina." Nolan said smirking

James quickly shook his head "What? No! No! Not like that I-I just thought I would be nice and maybe go with you or something."

Christina sighed once again. "If I say yes will it end this conversation?" She said. James nodded. "Ok fine let's go." She mumbled.

James couldn't help but smile as he could get what was about to happen over with. He felt terrible for just handing her over to the cons but what else could he do? It wasn't like he would be able to live if he didn't and he wanted to live. He could only justify with himself that if he did this it meant he lived and in the world as it was now it was a one for one world meaning you could only trust your self to survive.

"Are you coming?" Christina called from the door way.

James nodded and picked up his bag.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Jazz said.

"Well at least we know they went to the library."

"And on that note transform and roll out." Prowl said
———————————————————

At the library James had thought about ways to make it seem like what had happened had nothing todo with him. He found a couple of sharp glass that had come from a window and purposely cut him self moltipull time making it look as if he had been attacked. When he heard the sound of familiar engine he tossed the extra bag (as he had already transferred the contents from the new one to his old one) away and laid down on the ground to make it look as if he was passed out.

He heard the rushed foot steps of Nolan and Connie (they had forced Mika to stay back with Jazz for obvious reasons). "James where is Christina?" Connie asked as She watched Nolan shake him slightly to 'wake him up'

"Give him time Connie don't ask people questions when their knocked out."Nolan said

James purposely didn't move for a few seconds before blinking his eyes acting as if he had indeed just woke up. "I-I don't know we wore jumped a-and the last thing I remember was Christina yelling and then nothing." He lied.

"Guys!" Nolan called "she's not here!" He yelled to prowl and jazz.

Jazz growled "the cons." He said causing all the freeze.
