After our encounter with both Hitch and Marlo, they've cooperated and given their full loyalty to our cause. It may sound weird, but at this point we need every given opportunity of support from others besides us. Though I was battling with confliction and questions about that man, that almost tried to kill me, my main priorities lie in surviving and saving both Eren and Historia's lives.

It sounds rather straightforward, but obstacles will only seize us from time to time.

Finally both the Mp's lead us to the main checkpoint, which was less secure and protected with less occupants within the area. Too easy it seemed, but in our case an opportunity to demand answers. With all regiments targeting us, never have I felt so uneasy and unsafe in my life. 

Two soldiers stood guard outside the gate, feeling it was very deserted.

"Far as I know, this is the least-manned checkpoint in the region," Marlo explains, quietly. Tucked behind the thicket of bushes, and the trees we remain undetected by the Mp's. Rested on one knee and the other propped up, I kept my head low.

"Good, we'll handle things from here," Levi notes, as I turn to the two young ones.

"Just get back to your squad, before they're suspicious of your disappearance," I order softly, while giving them a thankful look.

"Yes, ma'am," they both say in unison. Turning around, they begin to walk off as I noticed Levi wanted to say more. 

"Marlo, Hitch....we're grateful," Levi admits, more softly. This surprised me, and even the two were taken back by his generous words. The two soon stood straight and saluted, with a 'sir'.

Once I initiate them to resume moving on, I turn back to see the rest of our squad in hiding as well. My eyes narrow forward, "Seems like we're gonna get our hands dirty, again," I sigh, discontentedly.

Levi falls silent for a moment, before discreetly patting my knee with comfort.

"It'll be alright," he assures me, feeling my chest flutter with his warmth. He soon lifts his head to the others. "Alright, this time we're picking the fight...."

After only a few minutes of a plan being conducted, it was the only best we've got in our situation. With Sasha, Connie and Jean barricading into the checkpoint at full speed, it gave me and Levi the chance to sneak in. Giving the distraction we've needed, it soon was a piece of cake stealing the Interior Mp's captain. Taking a few bruntal attacks to the Captain's assistant and another soldier, Levi managed to fulfill our plan.

Dragging the Captain by the collar, the man tried resisting against us. Hopelessly.

Walking ahead to give the children warning of our approach, they soon all stood down lowering their weapons from alarm. "Captain......isn't he--?" Armin trails off, assuming who this man's position was.

Levi throws him towards me and Armin, with a heavy grunt, "he's with the interior police," he informs the squad. "I've got questions for him.......let's move."

My eyes narrow dangerously to the man, seeing a flicker of fear flash in his eyes when he locks with me.

"Time to get the truth out," I mutter, while clenching my teeth firmly.

All the children were on guard around us, as night finally fell upon us. The moon was bright, and the crickets chirped their tune in the distance. Peacefully it was beautiful, but currently a blood trail of blood splatters across the trees. However, this man wasn't being easily cooperative. Stubborn as a mule, and imbecile he was being.
