The carriage comes to a stop and Levi steps out first, greeted by a member of the Garrison. I follow behind, then Hange and Moblit join us.

"Captain," the Garrison guy salutes. "Right this way."

Levi follows the man and I do the same. I glance back to see Hange and Moblit take off in a different direction going with a couple of guards.

We enter the building and we're led through a few separate hallways, up some stairs, and then arrive at a large door.

"Commander Pyxis will see you now," he announces and opens the door for us.

I see the bald man with his bushy mustache sitting at a desk with his feet propped up on the surface, a flask in his hand.

"Ahh Sophie," he grins. "Darling, it's great to see you again!"

"You too Pyxis, I wish I was here on better circumstances," I frown.

"Yes indeed," he sighs. "But not to worry, we will put an end to their antics and throw them deep below the city in dark cells where they'll never see the light of day."

"We brought Sophie like you asked," Levi speaks up. "I hope you have your best soldiers joining her."

"Yes Levi, don't worry. They are all skilled fighters and very smart. The best of the best," Pyxis stands up and leans against the front of the desk. "Reoger bring them in would you."

"Sir!" The man heads to one of the side doors in the office and opens it, letting in four guards with Garrison patches on their tan jackets. I recognize two of them from yesterday.

"We have the squad leader for this mission, Vic Hart. He is most suited for this operation and has my full confidence. The others joining are James Chester, Emma Lidström, and Elias Fuchs. All three of them top of their class and well fit for this."

"Just know, if any of them bring harm to my Scout, there will be hell to pay," Levi glares. "I hope you four live up to my expectations."

"We will," Elias steps forward. "No need to worry."

"Sophie is in good hands," Pyxis laughs. "Don't get your knickers in a bunch."

Levi sends a cold glare at the commander and then turns to look at me. He gives me a curt nod and I smile softly, starting to get nervous.

"Alright soldiers," Pyxis stands up taller. "You leave for Mitras from here, the operation will commence at night fall. You five will go in through the top windows of the building, while a couple MP's and Garrison are stationed outside making sure to keep all the exists sealed. It's up to all of you to subdue these killers and hand them over to the MP's. They will then be put on trial and locked away forever. The rest of the details will be given to you guys as you head into Wall Sina."
