I'm baaaack! For this chapter, I want to remind everyone that we never got a last for Ymir from Isayama. So I used the last name of the Ymir after whom our dear current-show Ymir was named. And, SPOILERS! But I need to say this: R.I.P. Ymir! You were one of my favorite females in SnK - the other being Sasha, obviously, and... Hanji(?) - I don't know, Isayama keeps evading a direct answer on that one's gender, so we're still guessing, I'm going with the female choice though.

DISCLAIMER: ME NO OWNS SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN.


Meeting with the rest of the force's higher-ups was never a pleasant duty for Levi. It was tedious, took way too much time from his busy schedule, bored him to death, and, more often than not, made him want to punch those jealous fuck-ups, who loathed his team simply for completing missions despite its outcast members. The only ones who never acted that way were Erwin, Shitty Glasses, and Mike.

But, he could take all that. He was Levi fucking Ackerman. What he couldn't stand was the attire. Suit and a tie. A freaking tie of all things! Why on Earth did they need to dress like that?! They were law enforcers, not high-class tycoons, for fuck's sake!

As he neared his team's office quarters, his scowl deepened. Today's meeting had gone just as he expected. Shitty as fuck! His colleagues had drilled him about losing the only link they had to Delgado, and they had done so with the excitement barely hidden from their faces. Tearing him a new one was, after all, not an every-day occurrence and they loved the opening they had gotten. He let them yell at him for a good half-hour, deciding to let them enjoy it while it lasted, before he was done taking all their shit. Showing them just how vast his swear-vocabulary could get, he had made them all shut up by reminding them that, unlike them, his team had at least tried. And, oh, yeah, they had Delgado's wife in their hands thanks to B-Unit!

"Suck on that, bitches!", he had growled over his shoulder as he finished saying his piece, and exited the room. Like hell he would let them have the last word!


"Nice get-up, Captain", Connie's voice greeted him as he stomped in the room. "All… black and formal and shit. Whose funeral is it?"

The baldy nearly swallowed his grin when said captain stopped in front of his desk and sized him up, like he was seriously picturing him in a casket. "He kept his thoughtful silence for a bit longer, before he reluctantly replied "… Haven't decided yet."

The spotter gulped nervously. Satisfied, Levi turned to look at the desks of the mission's… stars. "Where are Kirstein and Bott?"

"Taking a shower at Colleen's across the street", Sasha answered in her boyfriend's place, munching a sandwich as she kept typing her report.

"Lucky bastards", the Captain scoffed, knowing this wasn't the first time the sweet coffeeshop owner had allowed her childhood friends such luxuries. "And the wife?"

"Krista and Ymir are working on that", Reiner grumbled from his desk, where he was leaning on his beefy arms, sulking. Levi shook his head. They hadn't found Constance Chamberlayn, and the bear of a man had thrown a fit of all things after coming back empty-handed!

He sighed and got ready to deal with his current problem: get Delgado out of his hiding place. "Alright, brats, we know Fritz is top bitch when extracting information, so be alert. As soon as we get the locations of this fucker's most important operations, we'll start shutting them down. See how long he stays holed up after we fuck his shit up."

"Excellent plan, as always", a male voice congratulated from the door, and Levi felt an eyebrow itching to twitch. His team scrambled to stand up, which only confirmed his suspicions. He turned and shot the smiling Chief a look of poorly-hidden irritation.

"What is it now, Erwin?"

"Ah, don't mind me", the bastard smiled in a patronizing manner. "I just came to see what was your next course of action. I must agree with you – cutting off his finances is a fine way to smoke Delgado out."

"But…", Levi finally realized what his old teammate was trying to say. "Let me guess. You have something more in mind."

"Why, how nice of you to notice!", Erwin grinned in victory despite the short man's sarcastic tone. "Indeed I do!"

The smile left his face, and his blue eyes glinted dangerously. Levi cursed inwardly. He knew that look from his own detective days in the past. Someone was going to end up used and seriously hurt…


Yikes... We all know what happens when Erwin makes plans, don't we? Wonder what he's thinking to do now?

"What's in your hair?"

"Trust me, you don't wanna know - wait, it's still there?!"
