It had been awhile since Bumblebee and Strongarm had gone to Earth. And this turn of events hadn't made Prowl's job easier. He had been trying to catch a ring of Decepticons who had been killing bots and stealing their parts to sell on the black market.

Then his best friend Jazz had told him about Bumblebee mission on Earth and not to long after he had been contacted by Optimus Prime who told him to keep at his mission and look after Cybertron but not to trust the counsel.

Which wasn't a problem Prowl didn't trust the counsel anyway. He was currently speaking with the Prime over a frequency from the Autobots base on Cybertron.

"How is your mission coming along?" Optimus Prime asked him.

"I can't seem to find a good lead." Prowl replied. "I've figured out they've been finding their victims at a club in Kaon but I can't figure out who's involved in the murders and parts thefts."

"Maybe if you could get a former Decepticon to aid you on the mission?" Optimus suggested. "Someone who knows how they think."

"No I'm not teaming up with him." Said Prowl knowing who the Prime was talking about. "With all do respect Knock Out was a Decepticon till the last minutes of the war and we don't know if his change of faction was genuine or just to save his own hide."

"Prowl Knock Out has changed for the better you must give him the benefit of a doubt he can assist you with this mission and you must learn to put aside your differences with him." Optimus told him.

"OK I'll try to work with him." Prowl replied knowing he couldn't refuse Prime's orders. But he hated the thought of working with a former Con and even after claiming to change sides Knock Out still wouldn't wear an Autobot shield well he'd never worn a Decepticon one ether probably because it would be easier to run out on a team if he didn't sport it's logo.

After ending his call with Optimus. Prowl walked outside the base where he found Knock Out waiting for him. Apparently Optimus had already informed the red medic of the mission.

"Hi there guess we're gonna be working together on this one." Said Knock Out trying to be friendly. "Maybe when the mission is over I can help you wax that paint job of your white, black and red look great on you but white can be hard to keep clean." He offered. But Prowl just ignored him and drove off for the club.

"This is gonna be fun." Thought Knock Out seeing that Prowl wasn't happy about being partnered with him. Then he changed to his vehicle mode and followed the police car.

A few minutes later the two arrived at the club it was mostly a Decepticon joint just your run of the mill nightclub setting. Prowl was setting up a stakeout outside the building planing to watch for any suspicious activities.

"So what's the plan?" Asked Knock Out.

"I'm going to stakeout the area you just stay out of the way." Prowl told the Austin Martin.

"But Optimus said we have to work together as a team." Knock Out told him.

"OK then go in the club and mingle with everyone and call me if you see anything suspicious." Prowl ordered Knock Out.

"OK that I can do." Said the red medic as he entered the club. Then Prowl found a spot to hide and conduct the stakeout.

It was quiet for most of the evening then Prowl noticed a seeker femme she was yellow with red as a secondary color and she was poking around in the back alley and looked suspicious.

Not wanting to let the closest thing to a lead he'd seen all night get away Prowl took off after her and she took off running when she saw him coming and he chased after her.

Meanwhile Knock Out was chatting with everyone in the club trying to see if he could find anything that could give him and Prowl a lead on the murders and who was taking other bots parts.

Then he saw something that made his spark race it was Tarn the leader of the Decepticon Justice Division a group of Decepticons bent on punishing anyone who betray the Decepticon cause. If someone betray the Decepticons they'd put them on their list then hunt them down and kill them in brutal ways and they had been known to sometimes take parts from their victims.

And Knock Out remembered all the victims of the case he and Prowl were trying to solve were Con's. Had he just found the killers? He decided to call Prowl and tell him what was going on. But Prowl wasn't answering his com-link.

"Prowl I think I just found out who's been killing Cons." Knock Out said over the com-link as quietly as possible so Tarn wouldn't hear him. He still didn't get a response. "Prowl are you there?" He asked nervously.

After he still didn't get an answer he decided to tail Tarn knowing he'd get away if he didn't and he and Prowl might never catch him and the rest of the DJD.

Knock Out carefully followed Tarn taking great care not to be seen knowing he'd be in trouble if caught. He kept walking after the leader of the DJD while doing his best to stay hidden.

Then Tarn went to a back room where he met up with Kaon and Knock Out started trying to eavesdrop from outside the door but was having trouble making out what they were saying. But he was so focused on trying to hear what was being said he forgot to watch the hallway behind him.

When he was suddenly grabbed from behind in a bear hug manner by Tesarus.

"Hey let go of me!" Knock Out protested as he struggled to break free. But Tesarus was to strong. And dragged Knock Out into the room and tossed him to the floor in front of Tarn and Kaon.

"Well well what do we have here?" Asked Tarn mockingly.

"I caught this spy outside the door." Tesarus explained.

"Knock Out." Exclaimed Kaon. "You happen to be on our list thanks for saving us the trouble of hunting you down."

Now panic stricken Knock Out jumped up and started to run out the door only for Tesarus to block his path.

"Not so fast Doctor we have some business to settle." Said Tarn. "You betrayed the Decepticon cause and joined the Autobots but tell me all you know about them and rejoin the Decepticons and we my be able to overlook it."

"No!" Knock Out spit.

"What?" Asked Tarn.

"You heard me I said no!" Knock Out yelled at him. He was trying to sound brave but couldn't hide the fear in his voice or stop his body from trembling. "I'll never be a Decepticon again or help you!" "I won't betray the Autobots!"

"You've made a grave mistake!" Tarn screamed at Knock Out and smack him hard across the face. "Hold him." He told Tesarus who obeyed and grabbed Knock Out by both arms that he held firmly behide his back as the red medic attempted to struggle but in vain.

"Don't worry we're not going to kill you yet I have other plans for you." Tarn explained. "You must have some valuable information about the Autobots and mark my words you will tell us everything you know about them in time."

"No I won't!" Cried Knock Out as he continued to struggle against Tesarus's grip only for him to tighten it.

Then Tarn looked Knock Out in the optics and could see fear in them. And went over to a bag they had in the room and took a syringe out of it. And approached Knock Out who started struggling harder when he saw what was coming his way.

"You look stressed Doctor this tranquilizer will claim you right down." Mocked Tarn. "After a shot of this you'll drift off and by the time you wake up we'll be far away from here."

Knock Out's optics widened and he desperately tried to break out of Tesarus's grip as Tarn got the syringe ready to drug him.

But struggling proved useless and Tesarus held Knock Out's servo out while Tarn injected the tranquilizer into his arm. And gave him the full dose. Knock Out tried to fight the affects but could feel himself losing consciousness and was trying to keep his optics open and hold his head up but Kaon saw this and gave him two circuit boosters in addition to the tranquilizer. Even though Knock Out was already pretty much out on his feet.

Then he fell to the ground unconscious and heavily drugged unable to do anything as Tesarus picked him up and carried him out following the other two DJD members who were present as they left the club.

The bot who was watching the door stopped them for a second to ask why Knock Out was unconscious and if he was OK.

"Our friend here just passed out from too much high grade so we're taking him home." Tarn told him and the bot bought it.

Then they took Knock Out to a ship they had where the other two members of the DJD Voss and Helex were waiting for them. And laid the unconscious frame of Knock Out on a berth.

"We have a gust and when he wakes up we'll torture him till he tells us everything about the Autobots and maybe use him as a barging chip then when we're done with him we'll sell his parts and I'll add his T-cog to my collection." Said Tarn then he and the rest of the DJD laughed evilly.
