	Safe for the time being, Hubcap tunes into the police band, finding that they're wanted. After an unfruitful attempt to find help from other versions of themselves, the two head back to ''The Blue Deployer'', figuring no one would look where the two lost all their money to their "victim". Cryotek, however, refuses to hide them, telling them of the price Dirge has put on their head. Not unsympathetic to their plight, the TransTech allows for them to head out of the back and tells them to head to ''[[Widow's Cafe Cybertronian]]'', and sneak into the [[Heap]], where the [[United Anarchists League]] might be able to hide them. His guards backing him up when Hubcap threatens him, Cryotek tells the two that he won't sell them out if only to prevent his business from being hit, and sends the two on their way. Walking through the alleyways, Jackpot suggests that they should try to find the real killer. Hubcap objects; they aren't detectives, and besides, Gutcruncher was a Decepticon. While discussing this idea with his friend, Jackpot runs into a TransTech police officer. As the officer realizes who the two are, they run off, Hubcap carrying Jackpot on his vehicle mode top. ''Listening in on the police band, Hubcap manages to head the opposite way, but as the two run into a warehouse, the TransTech police surround in, having known that Hubcap was listening to their communications.''

	At [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration]] headquarters, Jackpot and Hubcap bicker until the Security Administration Officer, [[Cheetor (TransTech)\|Cheetor]], walks in. Ignoring the two bots at first, Cheetor instructs [[Stungun (TransTech)\|Stungun]] to get units out on security detail, with the council having ordered the offworlders to be locked down. Turning to his other subordinate, [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]], he orders her to assemble a team to look after three strange bots under the care of [[Alpha Trion/Shattered Glass\|Alpha Trion]]. Hubcap and Jackpot insist that they aren't the killers; Stungun probes Jackpot about his nucleon "addiction" before being stopped by Cheetor, who admits they don't have the firepower or the guts to murder, even if it looks like it. Jackpot asks if he can use the I.D. bolts to see who was with them at the time, but Cheetor informs him that they aren't GPS trackers due to civil rights and resource issues. The TransTech puts the two under protective custody, but on Jackpot's cue, Hubcap turns on his vehicle mode engine, flooding the room with smoke. Jackpot punches past Stungun, and the two rush out of the building. Stungun prepares to go after them, but Cheetor has him stand down, sending him to ''The Blue Deployer'' to keep an eye on Cryotek. As Stungun leaves the room, Cheetor watches as a figure wisps through the smoke out the door...

	Racing down the streets, Hubcap is suspicious, not even sure if they're being chased. Heading for ''Widow's Cafe Cybertronian'', the two almost reach the tavern, when a taut cable flips Hubcap over. Six Malignus flank them, ready to rip into the Autobots. Jackpot has Hubcap turn into vehicle mode again, and throws him at Jipe, knocking the bot over. Rushing forward, the two race off again, until heading into a dead end. Cornered, the two say their goodbyes as the Malginus fire a shot, but Jackpot's luck field warps the probabilites, causing the laser bolt to hit the near-indestructible I.D. bolt on his arm, reflecting off and hitting a bot on a nearby roof. Falling down, the near invisilbe bot weakly gets up, and announces that they're all under arrest. While the Malignus squabble about what to do, Jackpot and Hubcap drag the small bot out of the puddle on the ground, as a neon sign falls into it and electrocutes the criminals. Hubcap asks the cop who he is; the Mini-Con informs him that his name is [[Detectas]], and that Cheetor assigned him to keep an eye on the two. Jackpot tells the Mini-Con to hide, his damaged form being too much for them to lug around, and the cop reluctantly agrees, going invisible. Suddenly, the Malginus are back up and gunning for the two. The two run away yet again, and Hubcap uses a sonic decoy to lead the Malignus to an elevator shaft, sending the dumb bots tumbling 50 meters. Quickly running out of options, the two try to find a place to rest but are suddenly greeted by an unseen robot. Coming into the light, the voice turns out to belong to Black Shadow, who tells them that he knows they didn't kill Gutcruncher...because he did. Ready to tie up loose ends, Black Shadow aims his guns, but Hubcap quickly distracts him by announcing that his shoelaces are untied, causing the bot to reflexively look at his feet. The two split up, thinking the assassin can't chase them both...but as they run, Black Shadow's chest opens up, the true robot form jumping out of his [[Crossformer]] shell. Black Shadow and his shell turn into their jet modes, splitting up to chase after the two.		Racing down the streets, Hubcap is suspicious, not even sure if they're being chased.
