Home is Where the Heart Is (Aruani Fanfic)

What Now?

Armin walked into the office. He saw the captain of the facility. The man looked up. "What do you want," he asked in a rough, cold voice. The man stared Armin in the face. "I was just checking in, sir," Armin said as a bead of sweat rolled down his face. "Okay, you're dismissed," the man said, looking back down at his reports. Armin backed out of the office and turned. He was face to face to with Mikasa. "Hey, Michael. I was looking for you. We're on patrols," she said, grabbing Armin's arm. They walked out the same way they entered. Mikasa sprinted ahead of Armin, holding out her modded pistol. Armin closed half the distance between him and Mikasa. He had his pistol out too, cautiously surveying the landscape. They approached the garage on the South Pasture with caution. They went to the patch of grass they hid their swords in and grabbed them. They swung the swords on their backs and pointed their guns ahead of them. Armin found the key to the lock on the door. He gave it to Mikasa and pointed his gun at the door. Mikasa unlocked the door and quickly ran inside, followed by Armin. He closed the door behind them. "So why are we on 'patrol'," Armin asked, using air quotes. "Well...Eren was in the West factory. And he saw me and asked me questions. So I lied and told him that I had to go on patrol so we can escape and reassess our plan. I set up a camp three miles from the South Pasture. We have to leave now." Mikasa turned to the car and opened the door. Armin stopped her and said "We're on 'patrol'. So we can do a sweep of the entire farm and leave afterward." Mikasa nodded and they went through the same procedure of hiding their stuff and walked around the farm for an hour and a half. Armin went back to the South Pasture to get their weapons. He got back safely after killing six guards and hiding their bodies. They made sure that no one saw them leave the farm or was following them to their camp. They made to the camp at sunset. Mikasa set up a large tent inside the woods and had been hunting before she entered the farm because she had part of a deer wrapped up next to a pile of white ashes. Mikasa took off her jacket and stretched. "So how are we going to get this farm shut in four days?" she asked turning to Armin. "We have our ways. But we need to rest up and focus on what to do tomorrow." Armin said. "But what about the plans that bastard Eren has for all those weapons? Hmm. What do we do now?" Mikasa asked furiously. 'What can we do now?' Armin thought contemplating the outcomes.
