[ There's a clatter as the phone is knocked off the hook. Another as Jolt tries to pick it up you can hear him muttering: ]

I'm back- it can't be true, it can't-- I'm back.

[ A final scramble for the phone and he manages to grab it. There's no mistaking the urgency of his tone ]

Sideswipe-- I need to talk to Sideswipe!

[Jump hug]

Don't look in the living room!

[ He tenses and drops the phone again ] What?! What... Harley?

[crazyclownwoman]

.....they sent...

[And she's trying not to cry...]

They sent me their heads...

[electrowhipit]

[ He blinks a couple of times, and suddenly it's like he's really seeing her. He puts his hands on her shoulders and fixes her with a serious look ] What happened?

[weaponsparked]

[This has just been the weirdest day of his life. He's mood-swinging all over the place for some bizarre reason, people are breaking down left and right, that woman is back...]

What--? What is it?

[... and now Jolt is apparently panicking over the phones.]

[electrowhipit]

Where are you.

[ Someone's been learning how to ask questions from Ironhide. ]

[weaponsparked]

[CLEARLY. Which makes him pause a moment.]

... My house. Why? Are you all right?

[electrowhipit]

Just don't-- [ his voice breaks and he has to pause for a second ] Don't. Go anywhere.
