Trust No One
One day Bumblebee was at the scrap yard with his team. When they suddenly got a call from Optimus Prime.
"We need you and your team to help us we fear there is a mole in our ranks." Optimus Prime told Bumblebee. "As of late it is like the Decepticons know our moves even before we make them."
"So you think someone is a spy?" Asked Sideswipe.
"Who?" Asked Bumblebee.
"That is what we need you to find out." Optimus explained. "So far the only ones we can rule out are the original members of Team Prime and your team."
"We won't let you down Optimus." Said Bumblebee. "Well team looks like we're going to Cybertron."
Then after the call ended Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, Grimlock and Fixit went through a space bridge Optimus sent for them. While Drift and his Minicons stayed behind to help Denny and Rusull look after the scrap yard.

Seconds later they arrived on Cybertron. And were greeted by Team Prime.
And introduced to the other Autobots who had joined them. Which include Springer, Hot Rod, Ironhide, Hound, Crosshairs, Tracks, Getaway, Pharma and Sental. And one bot who Sideswipe knew and greeted right away.
"Sunstreaker how's it going." Sideswipe greeted his twin brother before introducing him to Bumblebee and the rest of his team.
"Great the Autobots are awesome." Sunstreaker replied.
"Hi guys." Greeted Knock Out who had just arrived there.
"Where were you?" Asked Arcee.
"Sorry I was racing some bots I ran into and it took longer then I thought it would." Knock Out explained.
"Ok." Arcee replied looking at him supishusly.
"I'm going to the medbay." Knock Out added. As he walked inside the base.
Then all the new members left to do work around the base. Leaving Team Bee and Team Prime to talk.
"I think Knock Out is the mole." Arcee said without missing a beat.
"Why are you so sure it's Knock Out?" Asked Smokescreen.
"Because he keeps being late and he used to be a Decepticon so it's got to be him." She explained.
"I tend to agree with Arcee." Ultra Magnus told them.
"Enough Knock Out is one of us now and he must be given the benefit of a doubt." Said Optimus Prime. "I believe he has truly changed."
"Yeah and you can't convict him with out evadence." Strongarm added. "Innocent till proven guilty."
"True but I'm keeping my optics on him just the same." Said Arcee.
And they continued to discuss how they were going to find the mole.

Meanwhile in the med bay Knock Out was cleaning some medical equipment and crying a few coolant tears because on his way to the med bay he'd dropped his energon prob and upon going back to retrieve it had heard Arcee and Ultra Magnus accuse him of being the mole.
Then he heard pedsteps coming down the hall.
And when he looked up Getaway was standing there. Now feeling embarrassed Knock Out quickly wiped away the coolant tears.
"What wrong Knock Out?" Asked the escape artist. "This wouldn't have anything to do with them thinking your the mole would it?"
"How did you know about that?" Knock Out asked him.
"I was practicing my escape methods in the vents right above where you were standing." Getaway explained.
"I gave up being a Decepticon and thought I'd proven myself too them but I guess the Autobots will never really accept me as one of them." Said Knock Out hanging his helm.
"What you need is to get your mind off things how about after your shift ends we have a race and then go to my place where I have an extra berth room we'll just have a mech's version of those Earth slumber parties?" Getaway suggested.
"That actually sounds like fun." Knock Out replied. "And I could use a break it's a deal." "Thanks Getaway."
"Oh think nothing of it buddy." Getaway told him before going back to practice his escaping skills. So Knock Out could finish his work.

Later that night when Knock Out's shift ended he and Getaway had their race which the Austin Martin had won. And were now at Getaway's place talking about how much fun they'd just had.
"You really left me in the dust back there." Getaway told Knock Out. "Talk about some great driving."
"Well I did grow up on Valocitron and I did a lot of street racing on Earth." Knock Out explained.
"Here I have some highgrade energon with you name on it." Getaway said handing Knock Out a cube.
"Thanks but I usually avoid the hard stuff." Knock Out replied starting to hand it back.
"You don't have work tomorrow and you had a hard day so as long as you don't drive tonight I don't see any harm in you getting a little crazy." Getaway told the red sports car pushing the cube back into his servo.
"Well when you put it that way I don't see why not." Knock Out said taking a sip of the highgrade.
"So they think your the mole that's gotta suck being part of a team that doesn't trust you." "Do you ever regret switching sides?" Getaway asked him.
"No being a Decepticon is what I'll always regret I wish I could take back everything I did in the war." Knock Out explained. "I'd do anything to make amends for all the wrong I did."
"Do you really mean that?" Asked Getaway.
"With all my spark." Knock Out replied who then saw what time it was. "Oh it's getting late I'm gonna go try to get some recharge."
Then Knock Out started to stand up only to slump back down feeling dizzy as the room was now starting to spin.
"You don't look so good Knock Out I think that highgrade must have gone straight to your processor." Said Getaway noticing besides barely being able to stand Knock Out was also rubbing his helm and blinking his optics as if struggling to keep them open.
"But I only had one cube it shouldn't be affecting me like this!" Knock Out said weakly. "Something's wrong with me I need to get to a med bay!"
Then he struggled to his peds and started towards the door as Getaway did the same. Knock Out felt grateful that his new friend was going to help him. Until instead of helping him stand Getaway kicked his feet out from under him making him fall to the floor.
"W..what was that for?" Knock Out whimpered trying desperately to get back up but his body just wouldn't obey. "I Nn..need to..... g..et to a hospital..." He struggled to choke out feeling weaker and more out of it by the minute.
Then Getaway bent over and put a servo on Knock Out's shoulder in an almost sympathetic manner. "Don't worry your only feeling sick because the circuit boosters didn't mix well with the highgrade." Getaway told the cherry coloured medic in a mocking tone.
"Y..you drugged... me.." Knock Out groaned as his helm was bobbing up and down as he struggled to hold it up.
"I'm afraid I didn't put enough in since your fighting it this long." Getaway hissed as he walked to a desk and got a syringe out of the dour then went back to where Knock Out was trying desperately to get off the floor.
Then Getaway punched him and pinned Knock Out down as the medic continued to squirm and try to struggle but his moves were sloppy and weak from being drugged.
"Why.. are y..ou doing.. This?.." Knock Out vented feeling horrible from the circuit boosters and not wanting to be given anymore. "P..please no...m..more..." He pleaded .
Then Getaway injected the circuit booster into Knock Out's servo that he stretched out and had no problem since Knock Out was to weak to fight back very well.
Then Getaway continued to hold Knock Out down until he went unconscious then dragged him out the door.
To Be Continued.
I know I shouldn't be starting another story right now but the plot bunnies just kept coming. Don't worry I'm still going to update Redemption. And work on both stories. And I'll try to have both updated soon. In the meantime feel free to send feedback. I hope this first chapter turned out ok it was a nightmare to come up with.
