Attack on Titan: The Show Season 3

Chapter 4 Trust

"Hey, don't you think we're a bit far out?" Hitch asked Marlo as they were walking in the forest where Levi Squad was hiding.

"No point in searching if we're not spread out." Marlo said.

"So those two are the ones that Sasha heard in the last episode?" Connie asks.

"Who are they? Do you guys know them?" Levi asks.

"No... we don't know them..." Armin says.

"I know. They are from the Military Police." Annie says, much to everyone's surprise. "That guy over there is Marlo Freudenberg while the girl is Hitch Dreyse. Both of them are in the same year as us, and that girl is my roommate."

"So that means they are here with the Military Police's orders to arrest us..." Jean says.

"Why did I get stuck with you?" Hitch asked. "Wait, Marlo... You just wanted alone time with me, didn't you?"

"Hitch... I'm sorry, but you're not my first choice either." Marlo said.

"Oh, is that right? Well, good for you." Hitch sighed.

"But, don't you think it's odd? Why would the Scouts kill a civilian and run for the hills? They're the same group that's always risking their lives for the sake of humanity."

"Well, he's smart. I like him." Hange says.

"Seems like not all MPs are idiots." Levi adds.

"I agree... he must have joined the Military Police out of noble intentions..." Erwin says.

Like Marco... Jean thinks with a frown.

"I can't believe you... Did you forget? Remember what they did to Stohess District?" The flashback of Eren and Annie's Titan fight flashed on the screen. "How they turned it into a battlefield? All the corpses we had to carry? And how Annie's still missing? All of her junk is still in my room... and it's annoying."

"Hold on... did that mean Eren and Annie were fighting in Titan forms and in Stohess District?" Historia asks.

Eren and Annie gulp as they can't believe what is happening. Ray says, "Technically... after you found out that Annie's the female Titan, you tried to lure her underground so you could capture her, but Annie saw through your plan and that's why she transformed on the spot."

Annie frowns as she lowers her head, and Reiner says, "It doesn't happen yet... now that they already know the truth..."

"And what happened?" Gunther asks.

"Eren managed to win against Annie in the end." Ray says. "But Annie decides to trap herself inside the crystal so that nobody can gain information from her, and nobody can break her out."

"Damn... you could also do that..." Eren stares at Annie, who sighs, "So at this time, I was captured, and both Reiner and Bertolt ran away... seriously..."

"But if that's the case, why didn't the Military Police know about Annie being the Female Titan if the attack happened then?" Moblit asks.

"The Military Police have always been intent on keeping important information available only to the higher-ups." Erwin says. "I won't be surprised if recruits like them know."

"But they also uncovered that Titan hiding and somehow managed to capture it." Marlo said. "You think any other regiment could do that? If the Scouts get disbanded like this, humanity can't..."

Hitch noticed something and readied her gun. "Quiet!" Marlo also spot it and did the same. "I hear water."

It turned out a man with a cloak was at the water filling the bucket. Marlo yelled, "Don't move!" The face of the cloaked figure turned out to be Armin.
