"Ah!" A scream rang out as Lucas fell to the ground, hit by a stray bullet.
"Lucas!" Cade called out.
Tessa stopped and looked at Lucas, who had fallen to the ground with a horrified expression. "Lucas!"
William jumped up and stood in front of Tessa, using the shield to block several bullets aimed her way. "Run! Get away from here if you don't want to die!"
"Go!" Cade shouted, but his voice was filled with grief.
In truth, William could have easily saved Lucas, but was it really worth the effort? After all, Lucas held no personal connection to him—there was no bond, no shared history. He wasn't someone William was particularly invested in. He wasn't even an attractive woman, someone worthy of the time, so why bother?
Optimus Prime's massive hand grabbed Cade and Tessa, and William jumped onto Optimus Prime's back. "Drive." Optimus began leaping from the building to the ground, transforming into a rundown truck and speeding away.
The Confinement leaped from the building, roaring as it transformed into a sleek black Lamborghini and sped after them.
Inside the truck's cockpit, Cade and Tessa sat in mourning. "Lucas left us," Cade said softly.
"Yeah," Cade muttered, wiping his eyes.
