Chapter Five - Deep Wang

After dropping Mikaela off at home, (YN) heads off to meet up with his older cousin Sam. After years of fighting off the Decepticons and other ongoing battles, (YN) finally got a chance to reunite with the person who was like an older brother to him.

Once arriving at Accuretta Systems, during the elevator ride up, (YN) couldn't help but feel uncomfortable as he glanced at a five-foot Asian man that just stared intently at him. (YN) just rolled his eyes as the elevator reached his floor and he walked off. (YN) then spotted Sam at a desk.

(YN): "Ring-ring! Somebody order a bro-hug?" He asked cheekily. Sam turned around from of his desk and saw him walking up, arms spread.

Sam: "(YN)! What's up, man?" He and (YN) embrace each other after what felt like forever. He lets go and breathed in awe at (YN). "Look at you, dude! Freakin' older and more fit. Didn't know you were coming in. How's Mikaela?"

(YN): "Oh, she's doing great, man." He answered to Sam. "That woman, she never ceases to amaze me." Sam laughed.

Sam: "So, how's the whole 'saving the planet' job going?" He asked.

(YN): "Ah. You know I can't talk about any of that. Classified and sensitive information." He stated back.

Sam: "Oh." He snapped his fingers playfully. "Right. I forgot. Sorry, dude."

???: "Ladies and gentlemen, I need some lunch time filling done, stat." Called a voice.

(YN) and Sam both turn and see a man in his late 40's or early 50's in a black business suit with a gray/black tie walking up to them.

Brazos: "Who would like to score some Bruce Brazos points?" He then spotted (YN) and Sam. "Witwicky. The man who makes this company run. Who have we here?"

Sam: "Mr. Brazos," He puts his arm over (YN)'s shoulders. "this is my younger cousin, (YN). (YN), meet Bruce Brazos, my boss."

(YN): "Sir, a pleasure." He greeted, shaking Brazos's hand.

Brazos: "Well, pleasure meeting you." He said with a smile. "My, what a handshake."

Sam: "Well, listen uh, I got orders to fill so, (YN), why not take a look around and gaze a bit." He insisted.

(YN) nodded and decided to go check out the next floor. He hit the up button and the elevator doors opened up, allowing him to step inside, as well as a few employees. Once inside the elevator, the doors are fully closed, and the elevator went up. (YN) noticed the man from before that had been staring at him on the previous elevator.

???: "I'm still stewing about that binder incident, Jerry." He said to the Asian man. Jerry sips his box of milk.

Jerry: "May I finish my Shuhua milk, Donny?" He sneered.

Donny: "I don't care about your exotic milk." He snapped. "I care about respect!"

Donny and the other workers in the elevator then exit on the next floor, leaving (YN) and Jerry in the elevator alone. It was quiet for a moment until Jerry fool another sip from his milk before pinning (YN) to the wall.

Jerry: "I know who you are!" He stated, getting too close to (YN)'s face. "Witwicky!" (YN) abruptly grabbed him and twisted his arm behind his back, making him cry in pain as he slammed him into the wall.

(YN): "You touch me like that again, I promise to snap this in so many ways you didn't know a bone could break at all." He threatened.

Jerry: "Wait, wait, wait!" He pleaded, wincing through the pain.

The elevator bell dings and the door opens, (YN) pushing Jerry against the wall before getting off. Jerry then ran after him and grabbed his shoulder.

Jerry: "Slow down, tiger. You showed up in the background of six different photos, two continents, with aliens." He explained. "That was you in Egypt, huh? Right? Because you know the aliens." (YN) grabbed him calmly and pulled him into the bathroom. (YN) took him to the last stall, locking the door behind him, then slamming him against the wall.

(YN): "First, touch me again and I promise to do what I threatened back in the elevator." He threatened. "Second of all, how do you know who I am? Did Sam tell you?" He interrogated.

Jerry: "This has nothing to do with your cousin, okay?" He replied, quickly shaking his head. "I'm Wang, Deep Wang. Deep Wang." He introduced himself. "Deep Throat. Watergate? I'm talking code to you!" (YN) grabbed him by his throat and pinned him to the wall.

(YN): "Would you tone it down? What do you mean code?" He demanded. Jerry glanced around fearfully.

Jerry: "They watch and listen." He whispered. (YN) let go of his throat. "I can't go to the government, but you? You can! You're a soldier! Right? Because shit's going down, son! It is Code Pink, as in Floyd! Dark Side! Why do you think no one's been up there since 1972?"

(YN): "Dark Side?" He repeated in question, then his eyes widened. "Wait a minute, you're talking about the Decepticons and the moon program, aren't you?" He asked softly. Jerry nodded quickly, then pulls a file out from a pocket in his jacket, and pushed it against his chest.

Jerry: "It's my manifesto." He revealed. "They're whacking us out, everyone who knows what's on the dark-" He and (YN) then heard someone enter the bathroom. "Your alien friends are in danger." He whispered. "You know, the good ones. It's up to you." (YN) takes the file from his hand, just as he was about to leave when (YN) grabbed him arm stopping him.

(YN): "Wait. What about you?" He now asked quietly. Jerry only shook his head.

Jerry: "Don't bother. I'm dead man walking." He answered sorrowfully. "I'm a loose end that's about to be tied up. At least you're not. Go!" He said quickly, and ran out of the stall.

|—————————|—————————|

After that exchange, (YN) exited the bathroom and heads off back down to Sam's floor. Sam spotted him coming to his desk.

Sam: "Hey, (YN)! So how was-" (YN) doesn't let him finish as he pulled him into an empty office.

(YN): "Quietly." He whispered. He then pulls out the file that Jerry had given him and opens it.

(YN) and Sam looks at the file in awe of the various information on the 'dark side of the moon'. Some of them were old newspapers articles about the mysterious murders of NASA employees, others had drawings of the moon's dark side.

Sam: "Moon satellites. Russian space program. Experts dead. Space program ends. Dark side of the moon." He listed. "What is all this?" He asked in confusion. (YN) quickly covers his mouth and puts a finger to his lips, telling him to be silent.

(YN): "I don't know what any of this is, but whatever happens must stay in this room. Clear?" He asked. Sam nodded as he pulls his hand away from his mouth.

|—————————|—————————|

Meanwhile, Jerry was being tortured in his office. There was something on his left wrist that was piercing its pincers through his skin, sending strong jolts of electricity through his arm. Once it stopped, Jerry let out a painful breather.

Jerry: "I don't know him!" He lied, talking to a television. "I would never say anything!"

The television began to transform, revealing to be Laserbeak, and flew over to his desk.

Jerry: "Whoa whoa whoa whoa, okay, okay! I sabotaged the mapping satellite, just like I promised." He claimed in fright. "I can put a blind spot in the program as a bonus! What more do you want from me?"

Laserbeak: "Jerry, you are my favorite." He crooned wickedly.

Jerry: "I'll do whatever you want me to do." He whimpered in fear.

Laserbeak: "I know," He began circling around Jerry and stopped on his left. "but my superiors need me to..." He paused, and let out a low caw. "suicide you." He informed. Jerry frantically fix his glasses as he circled back around to face him. "What did you say to  Witwicky?" He demanded.

Jerry: "Ah, shit!" He laughed, pulling out a pair of Beretta 92FS Inox pistols and aimed at Laserbeak. He put on a brave face as his hands were shaking. "Huh? Who wants some chicken dinner now, bitch? Cause somebody messed with the wrong Wang today!" Laserbeak cawed and hissed at him. "Come on! You want some of me?" He taunted. However, Laserbeak quickly disarmed him with his tail and knocked him back into his chair, then turned him to face the glass window behind him.

Laserbeak: "Have a nice ride." He used his thrusters to push Jerry to the window at full speed and smashed through it, letting Jerry fall to his death.

|—————————|—————————|

At the same time, they both hear a loud scream and crash from outside and they saw Jerry fall from the building to the pavement with a loud bang, killing him on impact. Everyone heard the noise and looked out the window, and were shocked and horrified to see Jerry's dead body, one of them even took a picture. (YN) and Sam also looked at the body, and Sam was shocked to his core.

Sam: "Oh God..." He breathed out.

(YN) was stone-faced as he saw Jerry's body motionless on the pavement, but deep down, he was horrified. He did say he was a dead man, a loose end ready to be tied up. Someone didn't want him to say something, and no doubt it was something regarding the Decepticons and the moon program.

Brazos: "Come on, people. Yes, a workmate died, but looking out the window is not going to bring him back." He addressed the staff. "The man was depressed. You can keep watching him, but he's not getting up. You all read "Humpty Dumpty". Okay?" He then approaches Sam and (YN). "Witwicky. I'm spearheading the press. You clean up. Wang is everywhere. He is in the bistro. He's in the bamboo. He's on the balustrade. Box up his personals. Get his name of his parking space."

Donny: "You see the sidewalk down there? Man!" He laughed, then saw a black Canon Color Imageclass Photocopier. "Hey, when did we get a new copier?" He asked, before he inspected it. "This thing is exceedingly Japanese." He stated, then started to press a few buttons, trying to get it to work. "They never make it easy, do they?"

Suddenly, the photocopier began to transform and Donny gets shot back and blown into the wall. Various people scream and scatter as small explosions erupted from the desks. (YN) then saw a large Decepticon-Vulture emerged from the desks and swooping in. Laserbeak.

(YN): "SAM! GET DOWN!" He tackled Sam down as Laserbeak knocked Brazos into the bookshelves.

(YN) and Sam then ran as Laserbeak flies after them, blasting the decks and people that barely missed the shots. (YN) grabbed a nearby pottery plant and smacked Laserbeak in the head, sending him to the bookshelves by the wall, then pulled down one of them to bury him, keeping Laserbeak down. But it won't be for long.

(YN): "Sam! This way!" He urged, motioning Sam to the emergency stairwell, just as Laserbeak shot out from the bookshelf.

Sam: "What is that thing?!" He cried as he and (YN) run down the stairs.

(YN): "A Decepticon!" He answered.

Laserbeak then tackled (YN) and both he and Laserbeak tumble on down the stairwell tackling and fighting each other. (YN) grabbed and smashes Laserbeak's head against the ground, then he kicked it across the room before pulling out his Springfield Armory Tactical Response Pistol and fired a few rounds at Laserbeak's thrusters, grounding him. Sam helped (YN) get up and they both ran outside, leaving Laserbeak squawking and cawing in anger.

(YN): "Bumblebee!" He whistled.

Bumblebee now drove up and both (YN) and Sam pile in. Once they're in, Bumblebee sped off away from the building as (YN) and Sam pant in relief, the two of them now relaxing in their seats.

Sam: "Geez, man. What was that?!" He demanded from (YN).

(YN): "That?" He gestured with his thumb back at the building. "That is the story of my life. No matter where I go in the world, Decepticons are on my ass, 24/7. Look, Sam, it's not safe for you to be in the city. You need to pack and fly out of here ASAP." He told him.

Sam: "What? No, I'm not leaving you to-" He tried to reason.

(YN): "Sam! This isn't up for discussion." He stated firmly. "You need to get out of Washington, and I mean NOW. Where's your apartment?" He inquired.

Sam: "Uh, several blocks from here." He stated.

(YN): "Bumblebee, drop Sam off at his apartment, then let's get Mikaela and head back to N.E.S.T. ASAP." He instructed to Bumblebee.

Bumblebee whirred in acknowledgment and he speeds off through traffic to head to Sam's apartment. Things have taken a drastic turn for them all.
