A New Companion | Attack On Titan

20: Revenge

Levi's POV

"It's quite the surprise to see you in the hospital again, Levi."

"What do you want Bassett? We all thought you were gone by now. . ." Bassett laughed loudly as he held his stomach.

Commander Arnald Bassett, a man filled with schemes and lies. He gets into other people's heads just to meet his gains. It was said that he was a part of the black market for some time when he was younger, and gained redemption when he entered the military.

But I bet, it was a much worse scenario. . .

"Gone you say? I never went away! The military still needs me!"

"They don't need your bullshit anymore."

"Oh?" Bassett then glares towards Eren, then back at me. Then, his sour expression turns into a sadistic one.

That bitch better not TOUCH Eren.

"Who's the lackey behind you? The doctor?"

I clicked my tongue at him. "That's none of your concern."

"But it is my concern, unless you want your friend dead little Ackerman, I'd suggest you tell me otherwise. . . ." I backed up, which causes Bassett to snicker under his breathe. "So? Who's the kid?"

". . . Jaeger."

"Jaeger?! As in Grisha's kid?"

"What do you think?" I didn't waste any time by answering quickly. Bassett seemed to be taken back for at least a second or two before regaining his "composure". He just glares at the environment around him and then back at me.

"That's nice and all. And I would like to chat, but as you can see," Bassett quickly digs his hand into his pocket. And the next second, he's taking the safety off the gun. "I ain't got the time."

"What do you want?"

"Your cat, Levi."

The fuck- he's threatening me with a gun. . . . Cause he wants my cat?!

What a stupid brat.

"That cat is special to me. Give her here."

"Why the hell do you want (F/N)? She has nothing to do with you."

"Even though she's my daughter?"

"Wait, what?" How is it possible? "(F/N)'s father's name is Edward (L/N)."

"Don't believe me?" Bassett digs into his pants pockets with his other hand and takes out a folded piece of paper. "Have the kid get it from me. That's the only way for you to read it."

"Then you can keep your stupid note."

"Are you sure Levi? It involves that cat of yours. . ." He waved the paper around to try to get my attention, but it wasn't working. "Bassett" shrugs his shoulders.

"Fine by me. I'll leave it here. I have to go before being caught here." Placing the paper on the ground a couple of feet away, Bassett was on his way.

"That brat."

"Who was that Mr. Levi?"

"An ex-military leader, Arnald Bassett, or whoever the fuck he is." I stumbled my way to the small piece of paper and barely managed to pick it up. "Here. Read what it says."

"Ok." I feel Eren's finger graze mine as he slowly takes the paper out of my grasp. I can hear him messing with the paper, and then silence.

"Are you going to read it or not?"

"Um. . . . It talks about (F/N)."

"What does it say?"

"It's a. . . . birth certificate. . ."
