Grim sigh as she check on her horse, she was starting to feel a headache coming on from all the planning her and the rest of the Commanders have to do. Her horse neigh rubbing its nose on her shoulder, "General Grim!" Hange hollers waving papers in her hands. "Yes?" Grim turn around her hands on her horse stable door, "Ma'am! A letter have arrive regarding information on the 104th soldiers." Hange hand her the letter. 

Grim took it nodding in thanks, "Let's gather everyone than." Grim know what the documents consisted of. It was time for the rest of the Scouts to know just what they were fighting against, Hange ran ahead to corral everyone in the area. 

Everyone salute Grim among entering, "General Smith. Is something wrong?" Eren ask with hesitation. "Well, I was finally able to get the background reports regarding Annie Leonhart." Grim starts. Eren, Mikasa, and Armin along with the rest of the Scouts were confuse. "Annie?" Eren ask.

Grim nod, "It took longer than I was hoping for. The paper trail was a bit of a catastrophe at the moment with everything that's happening." Grim explains. "Anyway we have more names that connects Annie and its her region mates, Reiner Braun and Berholdt Hoover."

Gasp were heard from the fellow 104th cadets, "We do know during the scouting formation, I gave their units false intel. I intent miss lead them into thinking Eren was in the right wing." Armin thought about that day, "That's the section Annie attacked." Grim nod, "Correct." She said to him.

Sasha stare at Armin and Grim, "What does that mean?" She ask. "Right now we don't have time to explain." Grim interrupts, "Coincidence doesn't establish relationships. I am curious, how did the three interact during your training?" Grim ask the 104th.

Levi cut his eyes to the cadets, "I knew Bertholdt and Reiner were from the same region as Annie but I never saw them act friendly." Armin went first. "Same with me, you never catch them shooting the breeze." Eren put in. Grim once again nod, "When they did talk it was pretty curt." Eren sigh. "I've got nothing. Except maybe that-" Mikasa was intruppted by Eren, "Guys what are we doing? These are our comrades we're talking about. Yeah sure Bertholdt never has a lot to say but Reiner's like everyone big brother you know?" Eren whines.

Grim only ignore the rest of what the cadets were saying knowing what needed to be done. "Armin." Hange calls. Armin full attention went to her,"Do you recall, Reiner being especially interested in Eren location?" Grim was interested in the answer herself.

Everyone can see the answer already in the young boy face, Grim sigh folding the papers. "Well, I think its clear what need to be done." Everyone attention turn to her. Grim stare at everyone, "We need to take down the traitors. That is all." She handed Hange the papers, "Hange, I'll leave this to you. I'll send Nifa with you as extra hands." Hange nod saluting her, "Yes ma'am."

Levi only watch as she walk out the area to who know where, with a sigh he watch along with Hange the cadets faces as they process their new mission. 'This is just a mess.' He thought to himself.

The following few days everyone was waiting on words from the Scout regarding Reiner and Bertholdt. Grim currently was sitting on a wagon with Levi and Nick rubbing her head reading reports. Levi sat watching out while listening to the Military Police being cocky over the fact that nothing was truly happening. "What a joke, I thought this was suppose to be an emergency." "Yeah. We just come here to sit on our assess or what?"

Levi didn't know how Grim was ignoring the fools, they were getting on his last nerves. "Hey Levi! Where you hiding the Titans?" One laughs. Levi over his shoulder ready to shut them up once and for all. "Problem? You seem ear to be eaten alive solider." He starts. "Huh, sorry we couldn't make it happen for you today. Plenty of opperturnies outside the wall if your lookin, lots of scouting expeditions." Grim turns smile at them, "I'd be more than happy for the help gentlemen."

The Military Police stare at the General smile flinching at the real possibility that she may actually sign them up.  "We could all fight Titans together." Levi finishes. The M.P. all swallow sweating, "Well, you know. There's our work in the interior ma'am so." The man was interrupted much to his luck, "Hey! The advance squad is back!" Grim attention turn to the young man shouting. 

Gathering all the paperwork she sigh walking over to the circle that was forming now that Pyxis joined the fray. "I see, so no breach is that correct?" Pyxis ask is underling. "That's correct sir." The young man answers. "But sir! A situation has developed. You see we ran into another group on our way back to Trost. It was the Scout unit led by Section Commander Hange. They were recruits with them with no equipment. This may sound crazy sir but three of them were Titans."

Gasp was heard all around circle, Grim and Erwin share a look. Jean was shock to hear, "Wait hold on? Who were they?" he ask. "Who damn it!?" He shouts. Sasha jump at the sudden shout, Erwin walk to him placing his hand on his shoulder, "Jean clam down." Jean stare at him nodding. "What happen when their Titan form were revealed?" Erwin asked.

"The Scouts engaged the Armored Titan and the Colossal in battle as best they could sir!" Grim listen intently. "But by the time our units arrive on the scene it was too late." Grim along with the rest of the Scouts knew it wasn't easy, "Alright. Commander Erwin go to Hange and begin a recuse mission. I certain they didn't get taken down that easily." Grim commands walking away handing Levi the papers as she pass him. "Yes General." Erwin along with some Scouts ready their horses to leave.

"The rest of you, bring the lift. They may still be on the wall needed all the assistance they can muster." Grim orders. "Yes ma'am!" Grim frown as she walk along with Pyxis at her side. "It's always a treat watching you work General Grim." Pyxis smile to her. Grim smile back, "I know."

Grim was sitting in her temporary office watching the sunset, its been many hours since everyone left and something was eating away at her. "You didn't want my help?" Levi ask sitting on a chair. Grim shook her head, "No. You are on leave, you need to heal Levi." Grim told him for the hundred time. Levi sigh, "Even with the Military Police and Garrison help Erwin may need more back up." Levi turn to Grim blinking.

Grim sigh turning around facing him, "I don't know Levi." She mumbles. "What do we have to lose?" He ask. Grim sigh once again, "The Scouts has nothing to lose, but." She pause thinking things over. "You knowing something isn't right. You can feel it. It's on your face Grim." Levi softly told her. 

"Levi, I could lose everything. What if Erwin-" Levi place his hand on her interrupting. "He loves you Grim. I don't think nothing you do would change that fact. But I do know dealing with the Armored Titan and the Colossal they are going to need your help." Grim smile at her friend, "Ok." Was all she said. Levi nod with a stern face, "I'll be here when you all get back. Good luck Grim."
