The car looked beautiful. Sleek, sensual, a veritable diamond in the rough. What was it doing parked here in a rest area of a mountain road? Darin looked around, seeing nobody. Where the hell were they? Maybe they were still in the bathrooms. He didn’t have a lot of time.
He quickly approached the side of the car, the slim rod producing from his jacket in a flash and between the window and the door. He searched with the controlled focus of a professional. He did not measure seconds, just breathless moments before finding the right lever to unlock the door with a satisfying “click” and he slipped into the driver’s seat.
He was about to rip out the facade covering the wires needed to start the car, but jumped when he felt the car jump to life beneath him. Looking around to check again for any onlookers, he instinctively backed out of the parking space, and sped off.
This car was incredible. Darin never thought he’d make a score like this. The ride was smooth, responsive, tight. Was this a prototype for a new car? Was it a concept car? His mind raced with possibilities and dollar signs when he could find a fence to take care of this product. Someone would pay well for this.

Darin couldn’t believe it, he was looking up to what was once a car he thought he had stolen, but it looked as if he was stolen instead.
What was once a car, now was a robotic woman that towered over him. Through some sort of transformation that took seconds, he felt small at the cold, metal, angular boots and into the eyes of this woman, the red glow in her eyes pairing nicely to the cruel grin on what he guessed was her lips.
”What’s wrong, human? You seemed so interested in me earlier, when you were the one driving me. I was a prize to you, a trophy… Where’s your confidence now?”
Darin stumbled backward as the robotic woman knelt in front of him. With a whir of unseen servos and a flash of movement, he felt her fingers wrap around him, trapping him in her hand, before standing up again.
“Well I’ll give you purpose now. You will serve me well, or I will see just how sturdy humans truly are. Lord Megatron had plenty to say, but I can’t help but wonder if there were some things he’d learn if he had the time to really… dig in to research.”
She pressed the tip of her thumb into Darin’s stomach, sending a wave of pressure and panic through his body, struggling to escape her vice-like grasp.
”Let’s get started, shall we?” She said, as she carried him back to the caves they had passed on the way. This tiny house could not fit her, and she needed space to work.
