Sina Labs; Chicago, Illinois - 7:35 a.m.

Grisha knew from the moment he joined this 'experiment' of sorts, that one day he'd have to watch all of the children, including his own son, be spread out across the planet and going into hiding with their mentors. He just never thought it'd be while they were all toddlers, little 3-5 year olds, being taken away from the only home they'd remember. Most of them had already became friends, Sasha and Connie were the last to learn how to speak and understand what others were saying.

The first ones that were able to leave were Eren, Armin, and Historia since they were staying in the country. Grisha was never told where the children were all going, city or state-wise, since they were going into hiding. Within an hour of the threes departure, Bertholdt's mentor, his other son Zeke, had arrived to take him up north to Canada. So did Connie's, taking him south to Mexico.

The second round of people were for Mikasa, Ymir, Sasha, and Marco. Mikasa and Marco were both going to parts of Asia, Japan for Mikasa and South Korea for Marco. Ymir was going to Australia, and Sasha was going to England. She wasn't the only kid going to Europe, just the first one.

The final round of departures was for Annie, heading to Russia, Reiner who was going to Germany, and Jean, he was the only kid going to the Middle East. The kids weren't showing signs of their genetic adjustments yet, that wasn't supposed to start until they were 7 or 8 at the earliest.

Grisha still didn't know why they were sending the kids out prematurely, the plan was to disperse them once they started showing their powers, but something happened to the president of their supposed 'company' and they were ending the program. Their idea of ending the program was to kill all of the kids, Grisha was doing an unauthorized task, which would result in his death.

As each kid left, he gave their mentor the paper with a list of the possible powers the child might have for them to watch for, he then proceeded to burn every file that mentioned the current kids. All of the mentors are passed kids that were heavily paid hush money by the government by the time they had all turned 21, not to mention any of this to the news, threats lingering over them, their families, and their friends.

By the time the final round of kids reached the airport and were about to leave, FBI, CIA, and NSA agents were storming the building that was supposed to be emptied except for the kids that were to be terminated, instead of getting 12 kids, they got 1 adult man, who was sitting in his office finishing making sure all files were burned that contained anything about the kids. It only took 1 bullet to end everything for the widower.
