"Stop it right now!" Levi screamed and cursed after realizing that it was impossible for him to use equipment in such a place. He jumped out of the stairs and ran to Sebastian, who, after Levi just touched him, threw him away. Levi hit the wall hard. He didn't expect such behavior, but he immediately stood up again. Theia entered the basement, from which a terrible scream was heard. She was looking for Aldrik, but she didn't find him. She went to the room where only he and his close ones entered. This time, the door was open, but one of his huge gorillas prevented her from entering. She avoided his attack with his fist that ended up in the door. He destroyed them into pieces and Theia bent to protect her head, while turning on her heel and stabbed the dagger into his calf. She jumped on the handle to bounce and wrap her legs around the man's neck. The man turned, and painfully crashed into the destroyed pieces of doors, but Theia, through the pain, pulled out two short daggers and pierced his neck on both sides. During massive bleeding, the man fell to his knees and Theia from him, to straight legs. Levi saw that all, and his stone expression did not escape her. She returned the daggers to the place and wiped her hands into the clothes. She turned away from him and overstepped the corpse until she got to the secret stairs that led to safety. She smiled sarcastically and put her feet on the first step when she noticed the blonde kid, hiding in the corner of the room. Theia lifted her hand with a weapon, looking directly into the face of a frightened child, who opened the door to them at the start.

"I see that motherfucker was serious about the safety of his people when he lost like a snake," Sebastian also walked into the room and wiped the blood from his nose. "That Shorty of yours has strength," he laughed, and Levi looked into Theia's cold eyes. He wasn't sure what he saw in them. Pain, regret? He finally understood what it means to be a member of a specialized unit. Seriously, are those people willing to lose their own soul? For whose welfare, do they actually dip their hands with blood every day? He knew they didn't know it themselves. He didn't know either. He lived the same life, but with other opponents. Theia, without a word, hid the dagger in the palm and ran up the stairs.

"Aldrik betrayed Bred. He sold him to Rat, who drugged him to learn about a specialized unit and me. Under the influence of drugs and fear of Olivia's safety, he revealed your location, Sebastian. He thought you could defend yourself. But he didn't expect you to be with Simon on a mission. And then, you get caught instead of her, willingly," Theia walked carefully to the dark aisle towards a single light in the distance.

"How do you know all this?" Sebastian wiped his face to his shirt, which he had all wet by blood.

"Everybody always told me Bred was a good guy, but I didn't want to see it. I talked to him before his death. He had such remorse that he wanted me to kill him," she said disappointed. "Olivia knew it, she was sure because she loved him. I don't know how to explain that, but if someone told me that Levi betrayed me, I would probably not believe it and try to prove his innocence at all costs. That's why I started to believe Olivia and suddenly, everything made sense to me," Theia stood just in front of the crossroads, leaving the silent Levi to look for a safe way. "Bred's, and also ours fatal mistake was that we forgot that people from the underground hated those from the surface," Theia looked at Levi. He seemed to avoid her look again, but she wasn't surprised at all.

"So Aldrik betrayed Bred and now he betrayed us," before Theia could answer Sebastian's note, the strong Levi's arms pressed her against the wall. She raised a surprised look and could notice his back. Both, Levi and Sebastian, stood in front of her, in a defensive posture and hands stretched to her protection. Nothing like this has never happened in her life.

"I don't understand the only reason why that fool Bred thought, we would have the slightest interest in helping him. No one has ever been interested in someone from the underground, it doesn't matter to everyone that hundreds of people die every day here. Big Rat has always been a grateful businessman. For Bred's head, we had the money to buy food for a month," the only thing Theia could hear was Aldrik's voice. But through men, she couldn't see the reason for their defensive posture.
