Jack was happy school was out. Summer finally started! He decided to see what the bots were up to.

He asked his mom to drop him off. Upon arriving, he got a tight hug from Miko and a warm welcome from Arcee and the bots. Optimus smiled down at him, an arm around someone's shoulders. Squinting, he saw Bumblebee standing there, clearly leaning into the touch. Jack chuckled. Optimus really loved Bee like a son.

Jack turned to Arcee. "So, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just trying to find an Energon mine."

"Cool."

"Anyway, what are you up to?"

Jack explained about how school was out and summer had started. "So I could spend all day here." he finished. Arcee grinned.

Circus Baby and the others watched in the shadows, watching every move of their prey. Waiting for the time to strike. But the problem was those huge figures. How could they get rid of them? It seemed as if they stood and watched each of their prey very closely, waiting for any signs of danger.

This was a hard obstacle to pass by.

But Baby and the others would not give in. 

"Optimus," she heard one of the figures say. The biggest figure turned. "Yes?" he said. Baby made a noise. Something like a groan and a laugh. "We'll get you," she said, knowing full well that all of them could hear her. Their backs straightened, and they stood quiet and alert.

"Baby, what are you doing?" hissed Freddy through her earpiece. 

"Don't worry," she replied. "I'll be fine."

She crept around, knocking over things as she went. She laughed. "You are so weak," she said. "Who's there?" asked Jack. She knew his name was Jack.

After all, she was the one who killed his father
