As he turned out of Perceptor's Lab and down the hall towards the proverbial "front door" of the Council Building, he couldn't help but shake the feeling that he'd forgotten something important. His hooved feet carried him closer and closer to the door, directly behind Prowl.
Suddenly, he stopped, and snapped his fingers. He hadn't forgotten something! He'd forgotten someone! Rolling his eyes, he tapped a communicator installed on his arm and spoke into it.
Nightshade! Where are you right now?
Cliffjumper waited a moment. No response? He started to try again when he heard Nightshade's voice.
Down the hall a just a bit, Cliffjumper. With the girl. What do you want?
Cliffjumper's face bunched up in a confused look. Had he detected sarcasm in Nightshade's voice when he had spoke of the 'girl'? He shook his head, dismissing it. There were other, more pressing matters to attend to. You're needed outside. There seems to be some sort of altercation on the streets, and Prowl wants us to try and stem the panic. Get out here, pronto.
Again, Nightshade's response was delayed. Finally, his voice once more came in response. This time, Cliffjumper certainly heard more than a bit of sarcasm and annoyance in his fellow Operative's voice. But again, other matters took precedence, and he shook the thoughts off.
I'm...on my way out now. I'll meet you out there. Nightshade out.
Cliffjumper heard an almost inaudible click. He knew better than to try Nightshade back. He had turned his Comm link off. Cliffjumper shrugged, and continued his path outside into the streets of Cybertron...
