Chapter 17

                                    

                                          
Zoey's P.O.V 
                          
After the guy left, ‘Bee let me out for a bit while he agreed with Lucky Charms. Sorry Lucky, but I'm rooting for ‘Bee to win. No regrets.
                          
I started to grow mildly bored with them bickering. Being my seven year old self, I wandered off. I snuck through the hallways wig out getting seen.
                          
Lemme just say, this place is gigantic.
                          
I saw Cade slip into a lab looking room. I wandered around for a bit before finding another lab room. 
                          
This one had a sign that said ‘Gone for Lunch’ on it. Interested, I checked the door to see if it was unlocked.
                          
Which it was.
                          
And these people call themselves geniuses but they couldn't lock a door? Wow
                          
I opened it and slipped inside. It looked like another lab. As I walked I saw a head with writes connected to it. I shivered and quickly kept walking.
                          
I then came across a room that had a clear wall. I peered inside and saw a guy in there. His eyes were shut and his arms were closed while he sat.
                          
It looked like he was about the same age or so as Ratchet. Hmm, I wonder.
                          
I hesitantly tapped on the wall. In an instant, his eyes snapped open and he stood up. He came over towards me. 
                          
He was a bit scary looking, but I stayed put.
                          
“Whatddya doin’ here?” He asked
                          
His voice was rather deep and it had an accent of sorts. I looked up at him before answering
                          
“I'm helping my friends.”
                          
“It's that so?” He replied before crouching down so be was at my eye level
                          
I looked right at him. He seemed familiar, oddly. He had the same bright blue eyes like the rest of the Autobots. Ithen noticed that his right eye had a large scar over it.
                          
“Your Ironhide, aren't you?” I then asked him with a slight smile
                          
He looked rather amused with me.
                          
“Per’aps. How would ya know?”
                          
“Gadget told me about you. Your good with weapons and have a scar over your right eye.” I answered
                          
His eyes flashed and he grinned at me.
                          
“Well then, seems like you're a good listener.” Ironhide commented back
                          
“Your also his uncle.” I said with a grin
                          
“Also correct.  I think I'll take a likin’ to ya rather quick.” He mused back
                          
“I wish I could get you out right now.” I said as I looked for a door
                          
“Trust me. I've tried.”Ironhide replied with a slight huff
                          
“Why do they need you here?”
                          
“Tryin’ ta get information outta me. It ain't gonna ‘appen though.” He answered with a low growl at all the machinery 
                          
I then heard the clicking of the door I first came in.
                          
“I'll let Optimus and them know about you being here.” I said to him
                          
Ironhide nodded back.
                          
“There's another door down that ‘allway. To a prototype model.” He said back to me and I saw anger burning in his eyes
                          
I don't blame him though. 
                          
“Thanks Ironhide.” I said with a smile
                          
I quickly scampered off. Just as I turned, I saw Ironhide give me a light salute. I smiled and went the way he said.
