Levi stood next to Erwin on the tall platform that sat in front of every member of the Scout Regiment. Some of the cadets were nervous and confused as to why they had called the sudden meeting. Rumors and whispers spread throughout the crowds making Levi annoyed. Eren stood on Levi's other side just as confused as his comrades.

"Levi, what's going on?" Eren asked for the tenth time. Levi stared straight and gritted his teeth together to stop himself from snapping at the Titan boy. Right now everything was going to be focused on Alex, not him and his easily provoked issues.

"You'll find out soon," Levi said, finally answering the question that has been on Eren's mind for the past twenty minutes. Eren mumbled something under his breath but Levi acted not to hear it. Eren was still confused about the situation, and he still hadn't seen Alex. It's been a day and a half since the last time he saw her - well, since anyone has seen her.

Eren's sea green eyes scanned the crowd trying to find the blue eyed girl, but didn't find her. There were too many people with blue eyes and black hair, but most of them were talking with their friends so Eren knew it couldn't be Alex. Alex would probably be standing somewhere off to the side, away from all the people. Eren knew she didn't like people, but he still tried his best to become her friend.

He didn't know why he kept trying to be her friend even though she's told him many times that caring for other only makes it harder for when they die. He knew her words were right because when he found out that Marco had died in Trost he didn't know how to feel. He didn't want to ever experience that feeling again.

"Oi, brat pay attention. It's about to start," Levi said snapping Eren out of his thoughts. Eren gulped and nodded then straightened his posture.

"I know you all are probably confused as to why we called a sudden meeting, I would be too if I were you," Erwin said speaking loudly. Everyone quieted down and turned their attention to their commander. Erwin scanned over the crowd before continuing.

"But this is a very important announcement, and afterwards most of you will be questioned by myself and Levi," Erwin explained then cleared his throat for the actual topic.

"We have reason to believe that Alex Bellerose, the girl we had taken into custody along with Eren, has been kidnapped," Erwin said boldly. Gasps and whispers came from the crowd as their eyes widened. Eren looked forward in shock. He hadn't even thought about it, but was that really what happened?

Reiner who stood next to Bertholdt cursed under his breath. Bertholdt's eyes widened and he glanced over at Reiner. "This is bad," Bertholdt mumbled, "this is really bad."

"Damn! How did they figure that out?" Reiner groaned earning stares from the people around him. He glared at each of them until they turned their attention elsewhere.

"Do you think Levi actually overheard us?" Bertholdt asked in a whisper. Reiner sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe. But this could still be of great help. They're probably going to have a lot of us search for her and find the hiding spot she was taken to. With that information we could possibly get there first since we know more information about the Schroeder's than they do. Even though it's not that much, it's still more."

Bertholdt nodded in agreement. Even though the situation has changed and their plans were slightly set back, this could also help them get to her faster. At this point, they didn't really need Eren that much. Everything was going to be focused on Alex, and Alex only for them.

Holly stood next to Terra with a scowl on her face. How did they figure it out so quickly? It hasn't even been two full days since she's gone missing. The plan was for them to think she ran off, but now that they 'have reason' to think she's been taken makes it a little bit more difficult. Holly glared at the commander, because now she has to sneak out again to tell the news to her brother.

"We could be in the wrong about this and she could have ran off, but we must take anything into consideration. Alex is a powerful being, you all saw that during our latest battle. It's dangerous for her to be on the streets, and it could be dangerous for Eren if someone took her. So from now on our main goal is to find Alex and bring her back, whether she was taken or ran away. Everyone from the 104th Cadet Corps Class stay behind, everyone who stays in the hallway of Alex's bedroom stay behind, and anyone with any information stay behind too. We will be interviewing you shortly. The rest of you are dismissed," Erwin said and immediately anyone who didn't have to do with any of those conditions.

As they walked away they talked among themselves about the sudden news they were given. It was a shock to everyone. Sasha's jaw dropped so far that Connie ended up shutting it for her since she was in to much of a state of shock. Armin was slightly sad and confused, Mikasa was shocked and angry because Alex was one of the small amount of people she trusted with her life, Jean was angry because he couldn't believe Alex let herself get kidnapped or was cowardly enough to run away, Christa was sad, Ymir didn't care that much but was sad because Christa was sad, and everyone else didn't know what to think of it.

As the people cleared out the small group from the same class as Alex got together and started talking about it. "I can't believe she would run away like that," Jean growled glaring at tree in front of him.

Mikasa frowned, "No, she wouldn't do that. I know how she thinks, and she wouldn't have any reason to run away. She was probably taken like they said."

Reiner and Bertholdt glanced as each other; they had to somehow convince them that she had ran away.

"I don't know.. Maybe she did run away. She probably got fed up with Levi's attitude and decided she was done dealing with it," Reiner tried. Armin shook his head.

"No, if anything she would fight back. She's too head strong about things," Armin said tapping his foot. Bertholdt and Reiner frowned.

"I just hope she's alright," Sasha said and Connie nodded in agreement. None of these people were friends to Alex in her eyes, but they had been together since the start of training. It would be strange if they didn't care about each other in the slightest way.

Eren still stood next to Levi still trying to comprehend the news. He couldnt' believe it; that Alex was kidnapped. He knew that she didn't run away, she wasn't that type of person. She didn't have a reason to run away. Eren sighed to himself and noticed his friends all talking to each other not to far from him. He tried to walk over to them, but Levi grabbed his arm. Eren turned his face and gave him a confused look.

"If she was kidnapped then you could be in danger too. You're going to be under supervision at all time from now on," Levi explained letting go of Eren's arm. Eren blinked then nodded, knowing it was probably for the best. Erwin stepped back up to the front of the stage and observed the remained soldiers.

"Okay, we will start the interviews now, starting with Reiner Braun."
