Tonight was awfully cold, Hanni noted to herself. The cold temperature seemed to dig down deep into her bones, to the very core. She pulled her cloak closer to her body to trap as much warmth as possible. Her knees seemed to jump impatiently as Bertholt steered the wagon as fast as the horses can bring them.

Hanni looked up to see Levi staring at her and she could feel herself wanting to shrink into her seat as much as possible. She felt like Humanity Strongest could stare right into her and he knows what she is feeling right now.

"Didn't you tell the rest to trust her? To put more faith in her?" He asked her, "From the looks of it, you are going against what you are preaching." Levi tore his gaze away from her before she could open her mouth.

That's right, what he said was right. She tucked a loose lock of hair that tickled her cheek behind her ear. Was she losing hope that fast? She violently shook her head like it could expel the thoughts in her head that seemed to continuously knock into her brain.

"Everyone would reach the safe house safely." Hanni's hand jerked when a warm hand was placed over hers. She stiffen for a second before relaxing when she realised the hand belonged to Christa. She nodded her head, attempting to throw those words into her head to get rid of the negative ones.

Christa reminds her of Alexandria. But of course, Alexandria being more deadly.

The blonde girl gave Snow a faint smile and a light supportive chuckle.

"You ready?" Ritsuka asked.

"You mean getting my ass back into bed as quick as possible?" Hayden asked, and pretended to think over the answer, "Yes, I am." He nodded eagerly like a child, a mocking act.

The questioner flipped the Hayden off before telling Hayden that he had a few minutes left before he has to jump off the wagon. That's right - jump off.

Hayden has no particular group to stick with, to protect, to lead. Ritsuka was assisting Hanji, Hanni assisting Levi, and Alexandria assisting Erwin. He is a lone wolf, a lone wolf that protects one group for a second before protecting another, leaving the other unprotected.

"With the silencer or with not?" Hayden fished out a black tube and twirled it in his hands.

"If it affects your performance, I rather not you use it." Ritsuka shrugged, "Get off the wagon,Eyes." The brunette looked at his black haired friend for one last time before he jumps.

"Well. See you guys later...If my head doesn't get blown off." Hayden added the last part like a joke but the chances of that happening brings a sense of dread to everyone on the wagon, even Hanji.

Hayden glanced at the faces and nodded at each one of them. Hanji, Bertholt, Mikasa...

He jumped off and surprisingly, managed to land on his two feet and started a light jog so that he wouldn't fall on his face because of the inertia. He didn't bother to look at the wagon that seemed to get smaller and smaller before attaching the grapple hook on one of the houses. With ease, he landed on the ceramic tiled roofs. He pulled up the hood of his cloak after tying a mask to cover the lower part of his face.

-Hayden POV-

I held onto the chimney top and pushed my body up. Is this the highest I can get? I steadied myself and look to the left. At the left, it was dark and dense with trees. I pretended that if I listen closely, I could hear the panic breaths of the people who had just escaped from the warehouse. If I listen closely, maybe I can hear the hurry footsteps belonging to the South Mob and their ugly rats.

I looked down now.

This is the old part of town and it was barely a lively part of town. It takes about 15 minutes before reaching the safehouse. By right, the wagon I was on is the first to reach this part of town. Then Erwin, and finally Levi.
