Ackerman Residence; Tokyo, Japan - 1:00 a.m.
When Levi had left that damned facility 10 years ago, he never thought he'd be driving a nine year old around Tokyo to different classes and to school almost all day everyday. Doing some unfavorable jobs every so often gave them enough funds to live comfortably. Levi glanced in the rear view mirror as he pulled into their driveway, seeing Mikasa asleep in the backseat. After parking the car in the garage he flipped the light on in the backseat, tapping her leg to arouse the girl. "Mikasa, wake up or you're sleeping in the car again." Levi said.
Mikasa slowly woke up, tiredly getting out of the car with her dance bag and walked into their condo. As she walked up the stairs and Levi walked into the kitchen to make tea Mikasa mumbled, "Goodnight Levi." just before reaching the top of the stairs leading to their bedrooms.
Levi called back, "Goodnight Mikasa." He heard her door open and close quietly, mindful of his fiance sleeping in a nearby room. After making his tea, he looked out one of the windows in their sitting room, not surprised by many of the nearby buildings still illuminated, despite the late time. Tokyo never seems to truly sleep.
Levi felt his phone buzz in his pocket repeatedly, electing to ignore the call and instead finishing his tea and cleaning up a little before heading off to bed himself. Once the call had stopped and his phone buzzed again, signifying a voicemail.
Before he began ascending the stairs he played the voicemail. "Ackerman, I've got a job for you. Call me now." Getting called by Masaru Watanabe, Yoshinori Watanabe's nephew, wasn't a new occurrence and has been happening occasionally for the past three years, since his first job for them in 2007. They've held him under their thumb, threatening Petra and Mikasa. He was sick of their shit. But he has to listen to them.
After a few short rings Masaru picked up. "Ackerman, we've got a job for you. Meet us in Senda Park in 6 hours. And if you miss our call again, one of your loved ones won't see the sunrise. Glad we understand each other." The line clicked leaving Levi standing in his dark house.
Scribbling a quick note to Petra he headed back to his car and drove to JR Station. As much as he didn't want it to happen, he was happy Hange's kid was 'assembling' the kids. Getting Mikasa and Petra away from this shit. His shit.
