{Eren}

I don't remember much after that. All I know is that when the code word popped up, I threw off my headphones and feel off my chair.

A teenager that was working in the library ran up to me, and began to shake my shoulders. 

"Herr Jaeger, Herr Jaeger, bist du in Ordnung?"

The rest is all a jumble of memories and voices. An ambulance siren ringing in my ears. The beeps of a heart monitor. All I could think of was that voice, and Agent Rain.

"Keep your friends close, Eren. But keep your enemies closer."

What enemies? What did they mean? What do they want?

I shot up and looked around. A hospital....?

"Eren!" I looked towards the door and saw Mikasa, disheveled and out of breath.

"They called me first because I am your sister. What has happened, Eren-kun?" she asked, hugging me. I shrugged.

"I dunno."

"Are you hungry?"

"I dunno."

"Eren, are you feeling okay?"

"I dunno."

She looked at me with big, worried eyes, and walked out the door.

{Shiloh}

I gave the glasses back to Marco and put my sunglasses back on.

"Did you do that just to scare them? Or do we actually want Jaeger?" he asked, and I smiled.

"Even though it would be fun, I wouldn't go as far as to scare them. Yeah, we do need him." I got up from my previous kneeling position and dusted myself off.

"Why do we need him?"

"That is beyond even me."

We discretely exited the bathroom and made our way to the exit, watching out for Sasha, Connie, and security. Once we made it to my car, we climbed in and I took out a pocket mirror.

"Shit, good thing I looked." The paling cream on my face was wearing off, and my natural tan was beginning to show.

"What?" Marco asked.

"Mar, an you pass me the lotion that's in the glove box?"

"Sure, hold on."

Once it was in my hand, I pumped the nozzle twice and rubbed the paste into my skin.

"Wait, hold on." Marco said. "You live in the states, right?"

"Yeah...?"

"Where'd you get this car?"

I laughed.

"Marco, how long have you been on the force? A year? It's a company car."

"Oh~."

"Yeah."

"So, how long have you been on the force?"

"Nine years."

"Since you were seven?"

"Haha, nope."

"Oh, um... what are we doing now?"

"We have to beat Sasha to the house."

"How? They left a while back."

I reved the gas pedal. "We'll manage."

{Levi}

"What the hell?" I asked my self. First, that stupid squeaky voice. Then, the brat says he'll be home around four thirty, and it's already six.

Someone knocked on the front door, and I heard one of the girls answer it.

"Shiloh, are you oka-"

"Eren's in the hospital! He hit his head!"

"What?" Armin poked his head out of his bedroom door.

"Yeah! He's in shock, apparently! You guys got that weird message too, right?"

By this time Erwin and I had joined everyone in the hallway. My mind was racing.

Eren's in the hospital?

Is he okay?

Is he dying?

Why are we still here?

"Yeah, we did!" Hanji yelled.

There was a freckled boy standing beside Shiloh. They were holding hands.

"Who's this?" Kaniss asked, and I growled.

"Why are we still here? Eren could be in a coma for all we know!"

"You're right," said Armin, blushing, "we should go."

We all trailed out the door and piled into Armin's Addison Lee.

{Eren}

"Woher kommst du?" the nurse asks me, and I tell her my address. As soon as she leaves, I'm a shaky, shivering mess.

"Mutter, mutter, mutter..." I whisper, putting a hand over the right side of my face.

I don't know what I'm afraid of, to be honest.

Wait, yes I do. I'm afraid of Rain. Why do they want me? What will they do to me?

Even worse, what'll he do to my friends?

I don't wanna go with her, but I can't let her hurt my friends.

I know what I have to do.

"Eren!"

I looked at the door, and my friends were there. Levi walked up to me.

"Are you okay, Eren?" he asked, inspecting my face. I sighed.

"I dunno."
