~6~ Surprises

a/n- Ahhhhh prepare for tears because I was literally sobbing writing all this, but I hope ya'll enjoy!

Cordelia's POV

A couple of days have passed and I've been laid back on purpose to get not only myself un-winded but the possible double spy in my squad. Over the course of these few days I've been studying the map of the Reiss bank every now and then when I get the time. Looking for any other possible routs or hidden vault traps that I could've missed. I groaned in annoyance every time I found nothing. After wasting an hour of my day studying a a map, now covered in all sorts of pen markings, I needed to get the news paper again, the email that a new one would come in came oddly early this time, normally it updates every couple of weeks or months. This time it should be rather interesting.

Dina and Bean had their usual outside walk horsing around while I got the paper. It was extra thick and heavy which was abnormal.

"Hmph not surprised, c'mon darlings inside!"

Back in my office I unraveled the fancy red ribbon on the thick paper package to reveal the front cover. I would be pretty nice if there were another big brand bank out there or the Reiss bank could just somehow magically restock itself overnight. Little did I know my little wish would come true.

I think my heart went into cardiac arrest just reading it. I could feel my heart light up like a fuse in my throat just reading the headline.

Reiss bank astoundingly losses 5 trillion yet mysteriously recovers in one day!!

"The fuck?!"

How was it possible

I need to pause and think about this, the mafia newspapers never lie, there's never room for jokes in this industry.

I slumped back into my chair carefully examining each and every detail of the paper.

"This really is happening huh?"

The first detail hit me in a flash, the bank lost 5 trillion...yet Levi only bright back half. So he really does have a little alibi. And the amount was pretty damn accurate for such a quick grab. So not only did he not get the money, but he willingly shared it. There shouldn't have been any other time window available after he left, anyone would've been killed from backup in the aftermath. I couldn't help but chuckle, it wasn't funny, but it certainly was exciting.

"So Levi fucking Ackerman has a mystery alibi, and fails...on purpose. How. Very. Cute."

I snatched a dagger from my desk and harshly threw it to the Reiss bank map on the wall, landing perfectly on the vault.
