Partnership

Chapter 24: warning.

Erwin's pov:
Here I was sitting with Pixis and my fiancé waiting for my other employee and his wife to arrive. I knew Farlan used to be in the military I just never thought Levi would have been the one to bring his name up before I did.

"Sweetheart somethings been bugging me about all of this." I turned to look at Hanji as she was looking through all the equipment.

"What do you mean?" I felt like something wasn't right about any of this but I wanted to see if she had come to the same conclusion as I did. Not surprising she did, she was as brilliant of a woman as she was crazy.

"Well...I don't know, don't you think this is a little much for this boy? I mean why would he throw his life on the line just for his pride." I nodded once and watched her lean closer.
"And why are we using all this equipment I mean we can take care of Eren ourselves and keep him safe but why do we need the help of a private investigator? And why the hell would a private investigator be principal of a school?"

Hanji had come to the same questions as I had. I was just about to answer when the door to Pixis office opened and there stood a pissed off Farlan and I'm assuming his fiancé Isabel.

"What the hell! Would you care to explain to me why you're involving innocent students in your man hunt?!" Farlan marched over to Pixis and slammed a folder in front of him.

"With all due respect Mr. Church. I have no idea as to what you are speaking of."

"Cut the shit Pixis, you're jeapordizing their lives to catch a man that you haven't been able to catch for over 7 years now!" Isabel handed us the folder that was in her hands.

I looked at them confused and Farlan sighed, "something didn't sit right with us when Levi called. I assume you two came to the same conclusion. Once I got off the phone with Levi I called some of our old military friends and Isabel is a police officer so she called her job."

I opened the folder and stared at the picture of a young brown haired boy covered in blood and a picture of the same boy leaving a house as it was burning.
"What's the meaning of this Pixis, what have you gotten these kids into." Hanji stood up after reading the report in the folder.

"I'll tell you what he got all of us into not just the kids, he's using us to chase after a 18 year old teenager who has been wanted since he was 7 for murder." I clenched my fist and stood up.

"Why hasn't he ever been caught? If he was only 7 why wasn't he caught then?!" I slammed the folder on the desk.

Pixis sighed and drank a sip of his coffee, "the reason he has never been caught is because ever since he was young he's been extremely talented. We found him once on the night that Mikasas parents were killed doctor Jaeger was with us at that time, we broke into Mikasas house and I saw him standing over her unconscious body ready to stab her when he saw me before I could shoot, he jumped out the window and ran off. After that he managed to wipe himself off the face of the planet. That's how the Jaegers got custody of mikasa."

"So wait he's after Mikasa and not Eren?" Hanji stood up as Pixis shook his head.

"At first we thought he was coming back for Mikasa but nothing ever happened. We were keeping watch over the family, one day though Carla and Grisha Jaeger were called into the hospital both were doctors. There was a blonde haired boy standing at the surgery waiting room, his parents were in a car accident and they needed immediate surgery. The boy that was there looked worried but at the same time distant." Pixis stood up and looked out his window.

"I remember that, there was something in his eyes that scared me. I couldn't point out what it was though. It was when I was just starting my job as a police officer. I was the first person on the scene after I did what I was given to do I decided to go check on the boy, he was tall but thinner than a child that age should be." Isabel leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. "I remember when he was given the news about his parents not making it off the surgery table....he didn't react like how anyone expected...he almost looked happy..." She looked up at Pixis.
