Gunshots and voices were echoing through the open steel door; the sound of bullets hitting steel and pained groans from the ones that got hit. Team L had arrived at the door, waiting for Levi's next order while they checked their weapons a last time.

Levi scanned the area. On this site there was only the steel door and a fire exit staircase from the roof. As he saw the corkscrew stairs, he had a feeling that they wouldn't meet the Leader inside the building. "Go inside and take orders from Dita," he said to his team, which looked rather perplexed by this order. However, they didn't question anything as they set in motion.
Levi looked a last time at them, before he went over to the stairs. There was an emergency exit on the first floor, but the stairs lead up to the roof. The raven had had an uneasy feeling about them since he first saw them. He had the feeling that something would await him up there, but he didn't know exactly what. Stepping closer, he asked himself whether he should risk it and go up. Maybe, it was just his fucked up imagination, and there wasn't anything on the roof. Another possibility would be receiving a bullet in the head while climbing up.

As if he's stupid enough to wait on the roof for me – Levi thought as he started his way up.

Levi: On the roof.

"Dietrich, drive me back to their quarter," Nanaba shouted against the wind.

"But if we turn around, we'll lose track of them," the man driving the motorboat yelled back.

As predicted by Levi, some of the members from the Organisation tried to escape over water.

"Do it before we move even further away from the coast."

With a last helpless look over to his puzzled colleagues, who didn't understand what was going on neither, Dietrich performed a sharp U-turn, letting the boat they were chasing escape.

Sawney and Bean were hiding behind two of the numerous roof vents – which were absurdly huge. They had their guns pointed towards the top of the fire-stairs.

Like there's an idiot who'd look for the leader on the roof – Hanji thought and rolled her eyes. She had the feeling that they dragged her here in vain. And to make things worse, the Leader was here as well, running in circles around her and the guy waffled on how he'll kill her the whole time.

"Drop your gun!" she suddenly heard Bean yell and looked in their direction.

Oh, there IS an idiot who'd check the roof – she thought and nearly let out a laugh when she saw Levi's shocked face.

"Ha- … Hanji?" he exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief. His grey eyes were fixed on Hanji's face, scanning every millimetre, as if he had to assure himself that it really was her. "How? Why?"

Hanji heard the Leader, who had stopped next to her, chuckle.

"Surprised?" he asked self-congratulatory.

"I will fucking kill you!" Levi shouted angrily, but as soon as he made a move forward, Sawney and Bean jumped in his direction and caught him by his arm.

Levi was held back by Ackermann's subordinates while he watched that scum using Hanji as human shield, pressing his dagger against her neck. He couldn't understand why she was here. On the roof, standing in front of the Leader. That was the last possible scenario he imagined to greet him while climbing up. It was obvious that Kanye wants to use Hanji against him. However, the thing that scared Levi was the realization that it worked. Giving the fact that it always had been Levi who preached to his subordinates that feelings were nothing more than an emotional break, this realization was ridiculous. The realization that there actually seemed to be a person, he was developing feeling for, scared him.

Ackermann grinned his demonically grin as he dragged Hanji's head back, exposing her neck to the edge of his knife.

"Do you see what you get for trying to kill me?"

Levi gritted his teeth. He tensed up his arms, trying to escape out of the grip from those two gorillas that were holding him. Unfortunately, those two seemed to be as strong as they looked like. Levi was struggling, trying to kick at least one of them in his shinbone. Just one little distraction and Levi was sure that he'd be able to escape them.

"Look at you. When did the great Levi become so pathetic?"

"Comes from the guy who teamed up with the MP," Levi shot back through gritted teeth.

Ackermann let out a laugh. "They were only a means to an end, which I would have eliminated as soon as they finish their job." The leader paused and looked Levi in the eyes. "Just like we did with the little mole in your team."

After those words, Levi stopped with the struggling. Surprisingly, the Leader was talkative. If he used this wisely, he could buy himself more time.

"How did you manage to bribe Petra?" Levi asked.

"So you did find out it was her?"

"The tape over the mouth and a slashed neck," Levi said with no emotion in his voice. "That's the method you use for people who 'talk too much'."
The picture of his subordinate flashed before his eyes. The way they've killed her had made Levi angrier than the fact that Petra was the one who betrayed him.

"Feelings, Levi," Ackermann suddenly said. "That's what hinders humanity from achieving success. And it looks like your little girl wasn't immune against it. The MP threatened to kill her father." He laughed outright. "It's absurd how weak she was and it's even more ridiculous that you're not different."

The Leader looked at Levi. There was so much hatred in raven's eyes. Kanye knew exactly that all this anger was directed towards him, and it made him feel powerful.

The woman in his arms was shifting the weight from one foot on the other, trying her best not to move her head because a wrong move would mean that the grind of the dagger would cut her. She shot him a mad glare and huffed. Ackermann was sure that she would all that willingly like to put her oars in, if he hadn't silenced her with the tape before.

"It seems like your friend is getting impatient," Kanye said and slowly stroke his dagger over her neck. "Maybe we should silence her, what do you think?"

"I'd rather hear another of your stories," he heard a voice next to him. Before Ackermann could even turn his head, he felt something cold press against his temple. "Drop the knife, asshole."
