Red Alert had briefly considered tagging along with Kitten Prime and Company, if only to make sure Rodimus stayed safe and out of trouble, but thought better of it after contemplation. Right now, at a glance, who would even know that the small orange Terran cat is the Autobot Prime, unless someone draws undue attention to him

He wishes he were surprised. Honestly he does. If the samples had proven to be Drath in truth, that would have surprised him, and Red desperately wishes that he could have been surprised.
This? Does not surprise him.
He opens a secured channel to human and Autobot security forces that he'd already contacted for this event, and orders them to tighten their surveilance of the Witwicky household. Until Spike's results come in, Red doesn't want so much as a bacterium leaving the Ambassador's home without someone knowing.
He'll apologize to Spike later, IF Red Alert turns out to be mistaken in his doomsday predictions.
He prays to be surprised with the fervor of the devout. He doesn't, however, as Sparkplug was once wont to say, hold his proverbial breath.

Drath isn't dead. This is bad. Very bad.
...because Not-Dead Drath might do it again.
And why are they watching Daniel's house?
Unfortunately, Duskwing still isn't aware that Frostbite can sense his presence.

"Wha-? I don't get it. I didn't touch you." He frowns. "I'm not--" The ghost Seeker waves two clenched fingers around in a gesture of frustation. "Dunno how to say it. We're not.. 'connected', see? I could figure it if you were my old wingmate or somethin', but you ain't, I don't mean nothin' to youse, you shouldn't oughta... feel me."
He scowls; a thought occurs to him. "Can you feel the others?"

He continues, filing the information away as simply confirming his suspicion that the conversation itself was not entirely secured. Of course the Autobots would be listening in, it's what he'd be doing under the circumstances.
//Anyone recognize that voice?// Onslaught asks over a secured channel of his own.
The responses vary, from Blast Off's //No//, Vortex and Swindle's chorused //Nope// and Brawl's snort //Sounds like just another flyboy t'me.//
//Interesting,// Onslaught says. //Now, the Autobot's offer. I fully intend to accept it.//
//Are you crazy, Ons?// Swindle asks. //She says she'll help us unofficially, but you know how well that worked out last time ( ... )

How is he to maintain any kind of security if Duskwing, and presumably any other ghosts of any persuasion running about, can pop in and evesdrop with impunity?
Duskwing's confused question grabs Red's interest, however. He, too, would like to understand how Frostbite knew Duskwing was present. Perhaps it is a skill that Red Alert can develop as well. He looks at her curiously until Onslaught's transmission reaches them.
Damnit. Red Alert had been expecting as much from the double-dealing Combaticons. He hadn't wanted to deal directly with them for exactly that reason, as the potential for blackmail was just too huge a temptation to dangle before the Decepticons and not have them make a grab for it. As much as he ( ... )

//Don't get caught,// murmurs Swindle over their private channel, as his brothers chorus their agreement.
//As for you having our payment ready quickly, I have no objections. We will begin preparations to depart our present location. Do you have any leads for us? If not, we'll work with what we can to find Drath's holdings, but any information you might have for us to start with would be a help and I would see it as a gesture of good faith.//
