"Hanji? Hanji, wake up!"

Hanji could hear Moblits voice next to her. She slowly opened her eyes. Moblit was sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing his jacket. So he just came home.

"How late is it?" Hanji asked with a sleepy voice. Her temples were throbbing and she just wanted to go back to sleep. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to drink with Levi in the morning.

"It's 3. I just came home," Moblit said. "Is everything ok? I heard you ran away from your lesson today." He mustered her with an anxious look.

"Headache," Hanji said hoarsely and pulled the blanket over her head.

Moblit looked down on Hanji's clothes, which were carelessly thrown away next to the bed. There was a strange smell in the room and the man needed a few seconds to understand what it was.

"Why does it stink of alcohol?" he asked. "Have you been drinking in the morning?"

She popped out under the blanket and looked at him with a tormented glance. "I have a headache. I don't want to talk," she whined and hid her face again.

"Hanji, get up! We need to talk about this," Moblit said, this time with a stricter voice. He stood up and ripped the blanket away.

His girlfriend let out a frustrated moan. "Give me my blanket back, I want to sleep."

"You can't," Moblit said with a determining voice. "Besides, you've promised me that you'll help me to make dinner for our new neighbours."

This time Hanji looked up. "We have new neighbours?"

/

" ... So we're sharing a flat, until we earn enough money to pay back the college fees and buy our own apartment," the blonde boy sitting across from Hanji said.

She looked at him and tried to remember his name. Her head still hurt and she was too tired to concentrate.

Their new neighbours had come over for dinner, three boys and one girl who shared the flat next to Hanji's and Moblit's.

"What kind of college did you visit?" Moblit asked curiously.

"Mikasa, Eren and I went to the Police College of Trost together. And we met Jean when we started to work for the MP," the blonde explained and Hanji nearly fell down of her chair.

I'm having dinner with the MP - she thought and nearly laughed at the irony.

"What department?" It was Hanji asking this time. Her new neighbours had now claimed her interest.

"Anti-Mafia. We're serving Special Agent Dawk." It was Jean who answered.

His answer sent shivers down Hanji's spines.

"Were you part of the swoop from the other day?" she asked dryly.

"No, Agent Dawk had some other men out that night," Eren said bitterly. "He should have called me too!"

"Yeah, sure. Like he needs such a suicidal idiot in an important mission," Jean barged in.

Eren looked at him angrily and Hanji was sure that he was about to say something, but then Mikasa interrupted him.
"Thank you for the dinner. I'll help you with the dishes," she said and stood up.

"You don't need to," Moblit said friendly, but Mikasa only gave him a glance that signalized that she wasn't accepting a 'no' as answer.

"You seem to hate the Survey Corps more than the other policemen I've met," Hanji said to Eren, when Mikasa and Moblit left the living room with the dirty plates.

"I'll personally kill every single member of them," the boy said eagerly. His voice didn't leave any room for questioning the statement.
"My father left us to work for those assholes. He left his family and his well-paid job as scientist for those assholes. And in the end, they've killed him!"

In the time that Levi was injured, his flat had become some sort of alternate headquarter. His squad was assembled around the coffee table in his living room. Erd and Gunther were sitting on the couch next to him with their laptops, doing some research. Previously, they've found out that Sasha was in Stohess, a town 120 km away from Trost. The Survey Corps had their second headquarter there, which was supervised by Dita Ness.
Levi had ordered them to keep the weaponry Sasha had in the van there, they didn't need it in Trost for the time being anyway.

"You know what would be good now? One of Petra's coffees," Gunther said and glanced in her direction.
Petra stood up wordlessly and left the room with a frown mien.

"She's behaving strange," Aorou stated when she left.

"She's mad at her Corporal," Erd said with a grin, which brought him in a grimly look from Levi.

"He had been drinking with the new scientist, despite taking painkillers. Now she won't talk to him," the blond continued his story, ignoring Levi's glance. "I wonder if she'll bring him some coffee too."

"Shut up," Levi said annoyed to Erd, when his phone beeped suddenly. He took it from the table and looked at the display. There was one new message from Hanji.

Hanji: I have new neighbours…

Levi looked at the text in disbelief. I didn't give you my number for such ridiculous shit – he thought and put his phone away.

Some minutes later, when Petra came back with the coffee – she didn't have the heart to skip Levi – they were discussing theories who the mole in their ranks was.
Even though Levi tried his best to concentrate on the discussion, his eyes wandered to his mobile the whole time. Irritated with his own behaviour, he took the phone and sent her a text back.

Levi: … and what makes you think that I care about this?

It took Hanji exactly 45 seconds to reply.

Hanji: they're from the MP

Levi had to read this sentence four times, to be sure that he wasn't only imagining things.
"Aoruo, I need you to find out if the MP knows that Hanji is one of us," he said to him.

Then, another beep.

"Why, is she in trouble?" Aoruo asked, but he took his laptop out anyway.

"She just told me that her new neighbours are working for the MP. Find out if this is just a coincidence or not," Levi ordered, while unlocking his phone.

Hanji: Why did Dr. Jaeger had to die?

Before Levi could even think about the fact HOW she even found out about Dr. Jaeger, another message came in.

Hanji: will i end up the same ?

"What the hell?"
Levi pressed the 'call' button and left the living room. He walked in his room and stopped in front of the glass wall, waiting for that damn woman to pick up.

" … yes?"

"Can you meet up with me?" Levi asked.

"Isn't it late now? … Will you tell me about Dr. Jae …" Hanji tried to ask, but Levi cut her off.

"Not on the phone! I'll be there in 10 minutes."

Of course it could be pure coincidence that Hanji's neighbours were from the MP, but Levi didn't really believe it.

Better safe than sorry – he thought as he opened his wardrobe and took out his leather jacket and his two motorcycle helmets.

When he came back in the living room, Aurou looked up from his laptop-screen.
"I've found out the names of her neighbours, but I still have no clues if it's only a coincidence or not."

Levi nodded. "Good. Do you guys need long?"

"One hour, maximum," Gunther said. "Where are you going?"

"Lock the door after you, when you leave," Levi said, ignoring his question. He turned around to leave the room, when Petra's voice stopped him.

"You are not seriously planning to drive you bike now! For god's sake, you're taking painkillers AND you've drank!"

"That was 1o hours ago," Levi only said without looking back and left the room.
