Chapter 20: Plans falling together

AUTHORS POV

You dodged and hid behind a tree to avoid any guards that were patrolling the HQ gates.

With how crazy the Section Commander was, she surprisingly took care of the building, as well as all the soldiers within it, very well.

You gazed over to the side of the wall to see the location Erwin had spoken to you about.

You could hear his voice and remember the plan clearly.

'When you get to the South side of the building, you will see a large rock just sitting there.'

You ran over to it and started to shove.

'It covers up a hole to the jail cells below the building. It was built in case of any emergencies...since Hanji always dropped the key for the dungeon entrance under the door.'

The rock moved, and, looking around a final time, you crawled into the dungeon.

As soon as you got in, you grabbed any torch nearby and blew it out.

'There should be two guards in front of Eren's cell. Your only hope will be your ability to camouflage with the darkness and take them out...'

You blew out another torch, got on all fours and crawled around the corner to Eren's cell. You were, now, right next to one of the guards ankles.

'...and I don't mean kill them. When you're done, you know what to do for Cadet's Arlert and Ackerman... DON'T allow yourself to be seen!'

...

...

...

While Eren was half asleep, peacefully about to drift off, a loud KLANK shot through the room and he heard two loud thuds... he opened his eyes to pitch blackness.

He could only slightly see your silhouette as you opened the cell.

You smiled at him from the door.

'God Bless, cadet.'

AUTHORS POV (Earlier that day)

It was the afternoon, the journey to the HQ in the forest took a while... but the cleaning of the HQ took even LONGER.

The Captain WOULDN'T allow any dirt to survive!

Once the cleaning WAS done... everyone retired to their rooms and started packing their stuff away... well, Derik took yours and Christa's stuff while you and Christa sorted the blankets, food, water, and the few clothes to be evenly distributed between everyone.

One little pile belonged to the Commander, another little pile for the Captain, another for Derik, the other belonged to Christa, and the final pile was yours.

Meanwhile you and your blond girl-friend laughed about things and shared your thoughts and discussed which clothes would suit which person... someone walked in.

"...(Y/n)..." A deep voice called.

"Captain? ... is there something you need?"

"...yes. I just have a few...SIGH...
questions."

Placing a hand in your shoulder, the blond girl nodded and left the room.

"So...what's on your mind?" You folded a shirt.
