It Started In A Barn

Chapter 27

“I get the rest of your winnings.”

‘Doc Knock’ thought hard for a moment, but I wait. His hood then fell down further, now covering his eyes as he then pulled down his mask, revealing a smirk.

I held my hand out for us to shake.

“Ya got a deal.” He said with a smirk as he then grasp my hand tightly and he shook on it

Strong grip with this kid. He then let go and pulled his mask up.

There was then the ringing of the bell for the next round.

Just as he started walking away, he looked back at me.

“By the way...not a scratch on any of them.” He said before heading off

I smirk.

We’ll see kid.

We'll see.

Zoey's P.O.V

I yawned and woke up, sunlight hitting my eyes. It had been a few days, and I think today was when it was alright for me to leave this place with everyone else.

I sat up and stretched slightly.

Mostly I couldn't though seeing I had a cast on my wrist and ankle.

On the upside they made it indigo colored. It's just very itchy though.

I hummed softly as I waited for the others to wake up. Or at least one of them.

Cade, Tessa and Lucky came back a couple days ago and had been sleeping in ‘Bee's room along with Optimus, Ratchet, and Hound.

I got to see Hound’s holoform a couple days ago too!

He has slightly messy, dark green hair. Along with a dark grey t-shirt and a army green colored jacket. He also had a pair of dark grey cargo pants, which held a army green utility belt with a lot of pockets. Also with an army green pair of a running shoes and a black set of dog tags.

I felt a furry lump at the edge of my bed, and looked up to see Silver curled up asleep at the end of my bed.

Ratchet had explained to me that during the chaotic rush for me and ‘Bee, that Silver used her power and got us here in Vegas. She has the ability to teleport. And it was a lot getting literally ALL of us here, including the ‘bots alt. So she's been sleeping a lot to regain her strength.

I smiled slightly and looked around again. Queen’ was asleep in a chair beside my bed, the story she was reading to me last night still in her lap.

Soul’ was asleep in a chair across from me, her head resting on Gadget’s shoulder. Gadget was asleep beside her, his head tilted back slightly, and Ironhide was asleep in a chair, on Soul’s other side.

I did notice something new though. The past few morning’s I've seen Gadget with a new small injury like a cut on his lip or a bruise on his hand. Also that the once light circles around his eyes had grown darker, like he hasn't slept for a while. Which was odd cause I see him go to sleep.

Maybe it was just him being extra tired.

I hummed softly again, and saw Drift still asleep in the same spot.

I think Optimus said that the stuff should wear off today.

I hope he's right. Drift’s been asleep for the pass four days I think.

Remind me never to take any sleep liquid of any kind.

Or to teach Crosshairs, Ironhide, and Soulspark what a measuring cup is used for.
