"Well, well, Levi. It's been a while, boy. You haven't gotten any taller."

Levi didn't reply he just kept staring without blinking. As if he would be dead if he did. Then the man looked at me. I almost jumped out of my skin and grabbed on to Levi's shoulder. "And who is this pretty bird? Your girlfriend? Don't you think it's rude not to introduce her to your father?"

"The day I'll call you father will be the day I reach 6,5ft."

"What an ungrateful brat." Sighed the man.

It felt really weird and wrong for Levi to be called a brat. I was certain of one thing though. This man was Kenny Ackerman.

"Did you forget Levi? I'm the one who made you what you are today."

"Tch."

"The offer of working for me is still on you know. The only condition would be to slaughter all your little scouts. You can start with her."

"Cut the shit out, Kenny."

The man ignored him and kept talking to me. "I've seen you somewhere before haven't I pretty bird? Where could that have been? Oh yes. Actually I only saw a photo of you. You're Ral's kid. Yeah, I remember how he called out your name with his dying breath. It was so sweet."

"You... killed... my father?" I stuttered.

"That's right sweetheart. And now..." He took a gun out of his belt. "I'm gonna kill you."

He pointed the deadly weapon towards us. "Don't make that face darling. Don't take it personally. I just really hate people who drive Levi away from his true self."

"His... true self? What bullshit are you talking about?"

"Let's just say the soft, easy going Levi you know is just a mask. You wanna see what he truly looks like, you should see him kill. The light that shines in his merciless eyes of his when he does is truly something to be witnessed."

And once more the reverse effect kicked in. My fear turned into anger. "I don't know what Levi you're talking about, but this one nearly killed me once. He may have the eyes of a devil but I didn't see him enjoy it in the least, you sick psychopath!"

"Ho ho! She barks." Said Kenny smirking again. "Do you have the slightest idea how many people he killed? He doesn't belong in a gang for lost brats who can't make it on their own because they don't have the guts to pull on the trigger."

"You'll regret underestimating them, son of a bitch." I forced myself not to blink.

"Don't waist your time talking Petra." Said the short thug. "Nothing is gonna get through."

"You're actually scary when you glare." Continued Kenny. "Okay, Levi. I'll let you keep this one. But the rest goes."

"I just told you to cut the shit out." Snapped Levi.

Suddenly, Kenny stopped smiling and lowered his head. As if to show great disappointment. "Well I tried. Too bad Levi. You blew your chance to accept my offer... and save your girl's life by the same occasion."

He fired. Levi grabbed my arm and threw himself under the desk. I was pulled on him. If we weren't in that situation, I would probably have turned crimson. I was practically laying on his chest. The Scouts chief took his gun and a set of cartridge. Putting his arms around me, he charged his weapon. While doing that we heard Kenny's voice. "Levi, do I really need to count to 10?"

"Listen up. I'll take care of him. You get the hell out and find out where they're holding the little princess."

"I can't just leave you with this guy."

"I know him better than anyone. Imagine having me as your deadly enemy."

"I get your point. You better not die."

"Tch. Who do you think you're talking to, brat?" He said giving me his signature glare. He took something else out of his jacket. "Take this."

"Your cellphone? Why?"

"The others don't have your number. If they are able to contact you, they might be of some help. But first things first, we get you out."

He started moving. "Wait." I said.

I took my own cellphone out of my pocket and gave it to him. He put it in his pocket. When we got to our knees the countdown was almost finish. "...9...10. Time's up little lambs, the wolf has come out."

This guy was seriously twisted. We got out from under the desk but kept hiding. We could hear his steps get closer and see his feet from under the desk. He turned on the right side to go around it. I took my knife out just in case. Levi, as silently as a cat, stuck a small black box to the right side of the desk and then backed off next to me. Kenny was getting closer...and closer...He suddenly appeared and pointed his gun at us once more. But again, Levi was quicker. He shot the little black box …. and the desk exploded, sending the psychopathic man against the wall. Levi pulled me up and pushed me towards the door. "GO!"

My body obeyed the command but my mind was screaming not to go. I ran through the maze of the 68th floor until I was certain I was far enough. I stopped to catch my breath. I had reached an outer wall made of glass so I could see the city. I looked at how high we were. Geez! How was I suppose to find Krista in this gigantic maze? On my own, with no map. Not that a map is useful if you don't know where to go. RING! RING!

No way! Communication is still operational? "Yes?"

"Petra? Where's the chief?" It was Gunther's voice.

"He's busy." I didn't want to worry him.

"First, Erwin came out of the building. Second, Ymir has something new for us. I'll give her the phone."

Ymir? That must have been the missing Scout. "Hey, are you Petra?"

"Yeah."

"Listen up. The girl they took told me her name was Krista Lenz. That's your friend right?"

"Yes!" Thank god, Krista and Historia really were the same.

"One more thing...ey took he... transparent ...oom."

"Shit! Interference again. Repeat the last 2 words."

"Tran-spa-rent...room." BIP. .

I hung up. Transparent room. Well, I didn't have a map or time, I might as well do it Levi style.' Suddenly the alarm went off. "Now of all times."

The employees in the building started panicking and all heading towards the emergency exit. I stopped a woman that was running in that direction, I grabbed her arm and asked with the most threatening ton I had. "Yo, tell me what's the transparent room. If you refuse you're gonna have to stay here until you spit it out."

"It's the glass room in suspension at the top of the building. Please let me go!" Screamed the terrified woman. Man, I hated doing that. But I didn't have a choice. "Tell me how to get there."

"Go the the top floor. But the entrance requires a passcode! Please..."

"Thanks for your help."

I let her go and dashed to the elevators. I pressed the button. "Please work, please work, please work." It opened and I pressed the highest floor's button. While going up I thought of the Scouts leader. Was he alright? Of course he was. If one person in the world was alright against anyone it was him. DING! The elevator doors opened on the 74th and final floor of the building. On that floor, there was... nothing. It was like a giant empty room. No walls no office. Might as well have been the roof. Suddenly I felt a threatening presence and turned around. Two titans were waiting close to the inner glass wall that showed the center of the donut shaped building. They looked just as odd as the three others I'd met with Levi and Armin. They turned as soon as they saw me. "Hi there cutie! You new in the gang?"

"Is it that obvious handsome?" WHAT THE HELL WAS I SAYING? "You should be careful, I could actually be a Scout." I said as I walked towards them, flapping my eyelashes.

The other one whistled. "Whoa. Lucky for us. Ya know, we don't have that many chicks in the gang. And the last cute one was a total statue."

Annie huh? "So baby, you're actually dangerous?"

He came closer to me. When he was about three feet away, I ran to him as fast as I could and struck him in the stomach with my elbow as hard as I could. "You bet I am."

He fainted and fell. The other one got to his feet and took out a switchblade. "You bitch!"

He ran towards me. I dodged the stab and hit him right behind the neck. He joined his pal in dreamland. I out the window and froze. The transparent room...was actually a glass room suspended over the hole of the donut shape building. It was held by three bridges all connected to the final floor. "Boy, if that thing were to fall, it would make one hell of a mess."

However, the glass was shaded. You couldn't see anything from outside. But I bet it was different from the inside. The door that led to the bridges was locked with the same kind of lock than Dok's private office. I wondered why that room didn't show on the blueprints. I got to the door that connected to the closest bridge. It had a lock similar to the one in Dok's private office. Krista was here. So close. 'Hang in there Kris. I'm almost there.' I took my knife and tried to force the cover of the metallic box open. However this one was a tough nut. "Well hello Miss."

I jumped up and turned around. In front of me was a man in a white suit, with three people behind him. He had short black hair and very thin beard and mustache. He was pointing a small handgun at me. "You're Nile Dok."

"Correct. However, I'm not sure I caught the name of my lovely intruder."

I couldn't tell him the Scouts were here. "My name is Petra Ral. I'm the daughter of the man you killed."

"Are you now?" He said unimpressed. "I have to say, I'm surprised you were able to track me down. I was sure Kenny left no traces. Did I overestimate his capacities?" He asked himself.

"More like you underestimated mine."

He chuckled. "I don't think so Miss Ral. The presence of the Scouts here and that tattoo on your neck prove that you didn't come here by yourself."

Crap, he already knew. I needed to distract him. "Why did you kidnap Krista?"

"That is none of your business. Now what should I do with you? I can't say I appreciate having a a bunch of thugs breaking and entering my Central."

"Are you going to kill me?"

"You shouldn't tempt me like this, Miss Ral."

"Wait sir! She could be useful. As a member of the Scouts, we can get something out of her."

A man that I hadn't noticed stepped out of the shadows. He had short blond hair and a very muscular stature. I had found our third traitor. "Reiner."

"Hey, Petra." He said with no smile and no joy in his voice. He almost sounded sad. That really pissed me off. It was like he felt sorry he'd left the gang.

"You're an asshole, you know that?"

"Look Petra..."

"Save it! I haven't been in the gang very long, but I can't even think of one good reason that push you, Annie and Bertolt to betray the Scouts. And for what? People who don't give a damn about others lives."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm saying that sending a sniper to silence your friends that were caught is a very low move, unworthy of a human being."

"A sniper?"

"They shot Bertolt. He's dead."

He froze and stared at me for a long moment. He was lost in thought, staring into space then. I turned to Dok. "If you're going to kill me, can I ask for one last request?"

"What would that be?"

"Let me see Krista."

He thought for a moment. "Very well. But I advise you not to try anything. He took a small remote out of his jacket with his free hand. "If you try anything, I can send that room crashing down along with your friend."
