Again, sorry for the wait. Enjoy and please review!
"The snake will bite the unicorn! It's a power takeover plot." Shouted Hanji.
"And the owner of the Naja company is Dok." Said Armin's voice through the phone.
Everyone was quiet for a moment, staring at the phone. We could guess he was blushing on the other side. He just said. "I read the papers."
"Now we have a bunch of info. Let's not waste it. We have to act fast." Said Levi.
"You have a plan?"
"We can't just barge blind into enemy territory. We're gonna need Erwin's help for that. Eren, get the team back here ASAP." He hung up. "Hanji call Erwin here now."
Levi went to go get his computer and looked for an image of Naja's Central building. I looked over his shoulder. The building had a weird donut shape, with nothing in the middle. But as I thought, it was impossible to find blueprints of such an important building online. An hour a later, after Eren's group was back, Erwin came. "You guys discovered that info at just the right time."
"Tch. Whenever you make that face, it means you have an idea." Said the short thug.
"What, do you trust me now?" Replied Erwin, chuckling.
"Not even a little. I trust your intuition that's all. Anyway let's get down to it."
Krista's POV:
It's been 48 hours since those guys came to kidnap me. I'd been blindfolded the whole time, so I had no idea were I was. I remember that at some point I'd been left in a room on a bed. I'd managed to take of my watch that was hurting my wrist because of the ropes. Then I'd been moved again. I fell asleep during the second travel and when I woke up, I had been placed in a room with a bunch of other girls my age. All of them had blond hair and blue eyes and looked about my age. I wondered if it was a special kind of human trafficking. There were about fifteen of us. They were all too panicked to have a normal conversation. Most were in small groups trembling and sobbing, imagining the worst. But yesterday they'd brought a freckled brunette in the group. And that girl smelled like trouble miles away. Ever since she got here, she'd been sitting in a corner staring into space. Somehow she reminded me of Petra. She looked like a complete tomboy. I was sitting against the same wall not far from her. I sighed loudly and thought about my best friend, hoping she wasn't doing something stupid. "Please be okay."
"Aren't you scared?" I turned around. The brunette was looking at me from the corner of her eyes.
"Of course I'm scared. But a friend of mine told me to never give into panic. It doesn't solve anything."
"That friend of yours...who is he?"
"She's strong and amazingly stubborn. Knowing her she's probably looking all over for me."
"In other words, she's an idiot."
I chuckled. "I guess she is. Please don't be offended but...why are you talking to me?"
"You seem like the only person in the room with who I can have a normal conversation. And I'm bored."
"Aren't you scared?"
"Nope. Got no reason to. The Scouts never abandon one of their own."
"You're a Scout?"
"What, are you scared that I'll do something to you?"
I shook my head. "You don't seem like that kind of person."
She bursted into laughter for a few seconds and looked at me again. "And how would you know what kind of person I am?"
"I don't know...I just do."
She looked at me with disbelief for a second and then smiled. "Are you from Sina?"
I gasped lightly. How could she know my secret? "No...I live in Maria. I'm Krista Lenz by the way." I added holding out my hand. She stared at it for a couple seconds and then grabbed it. "Ymir."
"Nice to meet you. Can I ask you why you're here? Were you kidnapped like us?"
"Not for the same reason, I don't fit the profile. I was actually investigating your case. I just got caught like an amateur. The chief is gonna kill me."
"You're not even worried a little bit?"
"Even if my gang's too late and they kill me, I'm not worried. Death ain't nothing but another step."
"How can you speak so lightly of your own life?"
"My life ain't worth much blonde. I've got nothing to regret."
I know I should've be shocked, but instead I started laughing. Ymir looked at me with a surprised look. "Looks like I have a knack for meeting the most stubborn people in the city. First, Petra, and now you. I must be cursed."
"You're a strange girl Krista Lenz."
"So are you. Don't think so lightly of your life."
"Did your friend teach you that too?"
"Yes. I was like you once. Thinking my life was just a hindrance to everyone else. Petra told me 'If you don't fight for yourself, I'll do it for you.'"
"Fight for others huh? That's my life. If I can't fight for the Scouts, than I'm worthless."
"Geez, stop being so negative. You're sure that they'll come right?"
"Of course they will."
"Then prepare yourself for when they do."
Before Ymir could reply, the door was opened and a group of four men came in. Three of them were wearing black suits and looked like body guards. The man in the middle wore a white suit. All the girls in the room backed off against the wall. The man smirked at us and spoke. "Alright ladies listen up, I'm looking for someone and you all fit the description of that person. Would Historia Reiss, kindly step forward?"
I swallowed harshly. Kidnapping all these girls to find one? What a horrible man! No one moved. "Very well then." The man in white lifted his arm. One of the man in black with a nasty scar on his face grabbed the nearest girl and pulled her towards him. He took a gun out of his jacket and pointed it towards the girl's head. She froze and her face became as white as a sheet. Sweat drops were falling from her forehead. "NO STOP!" I screamed as I stepped out of the group.
The man in white got closer to me. I recognized his face from the papers. Nile Dok. "I finally found you Miss Reiss. No mistake. You're the spitting portrait of your mother. Ackerman! Take her to the transparent room."
"Yes sir. Come here princess."
The man made a move to grab my arm but a foot collided with his stomach. He fell to the ground and Ymir turned to the two man in black left. She punched one real hard in the face and his nose exploded in a bloody splash. She grabbed the last one by the arm and twisted it in his back. "RUN FOR IT!"
"Ymir..."
"JUST GO IDIOT! AHHHHHH!" She screamed and fainted . The first man she'd hit first was back on his feet and holding an electric taser. "If you thought that kick could keep me down you're mistaken. Didn't Levi train you better than that?"
I tried to turn around and run but the man grabbed my arm and hit me behind the neck. I fainted instantly.
External POV.
Naja Central building
Erwin walked into the building and made hi way to the receptionist desk. He spoke to the lady in charge. "Excuse me, I have an appointment with M. Dok. My name is Erwin Smith."
"Ah, yes. May I see your ID card please M. Smith?
"Of course." The lawyer handed it to the woman who soon gave it back.
"Thank you. May I ask who is this person accompanying you?"
"This is my assistant, Miss Hanji Zoe. Is it a problem if she accompanies me."
"Not at all. Please follow me."
The woman led Erwin and Hanji through security to the elevator. They went up to the 68th floor. She led them to a big living room and asked them to wait for someone to come and take them to the director. A few minutes after she'd left, a man in a black suit came. "M. Erwin Smith?"
"Yes, that's me."
"M. Dok is waiting for you, but I'm afraid your assistant cannot accompany you."
"That's alright. Hanji wait here. If this takes too long you can go home."
"Very well sir."
Hanji waited a few minutes and looked at her watch. She got up and went to the bathroom. In there she went into a cabin and quickly changed into her usual cloths. 'Ah finally. It would be impossible to do anything in that that short skirt and tight jacket.' She thought. 'Let's get down to business.' Hanji took a small gadget the size of a coin out of her pocket and discreetly placed it on the light button. The lights instantly went out. Hanji escalated the door of her cabin and pushed air vent open. Once inside the small tunnel, the woman took the building's blueprints out of her pocket. "Good thing Annie agreed to hack this one for us. Let's see, I'm in the North side of the building, so the closest security control room should be... there!"
The thug crawled her way through the air vents until she reached a way out into an empty hallway. Hanji pushed the vent open and placed the thing back in place. She walked up to the security room door. "I swear. The only place they don't think of putting cameras is the one hallway that leads to there security system. Not very smart, Dok."
Hanji knocked on the heavy metal door. It opened and a man in black appeared. "Who are you and what do you want?"
"I'm sorry." Hanji answered with a bright smile. "I'm the second in command of the scouts and I'm here to knock you unconscious. But don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you."
The man made a move to grab his gun, but received a needle in the stomach and instantly fainted. Hanji entered the room and shot the paralytic needles to all the eight guards occupying the room. "See? I told you it wouldn't hurt. You should be awake..." She checked her watch. 13:00am. "...just in time for dinner."
Hanji sat at the main control board and placed the communication headphones on her head. She looked at the screens. She took out her cellphone and dialed. "Levi, I'm in."
"About damn time. Tell me where you got eyes."
"Nice to hear you too. It looks like the the security is divided in four rooms for four areas. I've got the entire North side in view."
"Good. Everyone, remember your goals. Eld and Mikasa's teams are in charge of distraction. Go easy on the explosives though. We're not trying to bring the building down. Gunther's team will find the girls. Oluo, you bringing Armin to wherever Hanji is. Petra, you stick with me and Eren, we're gonna make a little ruckus in the upper levels. If you meet titans, think before you act. They aren't stupid. Let's move."
'I'm coming Kris. Hang in there a bit longer.'
Cliffhanger! Sorry, I had to do that.
