Reiner

He trambled down an already smoked cigarette when a dark car appeared within his sight. Reiner crossed his arms and leaned against the hood of the car as he watched the vehicle park in front of him, bright lights sweeping the road around him. Unknowingly, he started tapping his foot on the ground. His nervousness had reached its limit.

Zeke Yaeger rolled out of the car, surrounded by the inseparable Gaillard brothers.

"What's up, Braun?" The man asked, slamming the door behind him and walking towards Reiner. He was wearing dark, tight pants and a leather vest that exposed his chest. He gave Reiner a crooked smile. Gray eyes glittered behind round glasses. "Let's do it quick, I don't have much time...".

"Where's Grisha?" Reiner boomed, taking a step forward. He knew he should calm down, but during the last several hours he had felt like a ticking bomb. Ironically.

"You think my old man will just find time for you? It's up to him, he appoints your meetings, not you" Zeke regarded the detective calmly. Apparently, Braun's nervousness didn't impress him. "Is it about the money? Something's wrong with your paycheck?".

"You fucking lied to me!" Reiner raised his voice and clenched his fists. He stopped in front of Zeke to get a closer look at him. He no longer cared about the possible consequences. The anger was bursting from within him. "From what I remember, you were supposed to give me the GPS device, but it turns out there were explosives hidden in that little shit! Didn't you think I should know about this? If I dropped it, I could fucking die!".

"But you're okay, aren't you?" Zeke smiled charmingly, but suddenly a menacing gleam appeared in his eyes. "Okay, Braun. If I were you, at this point I would let it go...".

"These two may not have survived it! Do you know what would have happened then?" Reiner, however, refused to calm down. "What if someone finds out it was my fault?".

"Oh, please, give me a fucking break! Don't tell me that you suddenly felt sorry for your colleagues..." Zeke chuckled softly. "If you took the precautions as advised, they won't find anything. Turn on local news tomorrow morning, it should calm you down...".

"I want to speak to Grisha!" Reiner called again, reaching out to grab Zeke's vest. It was too much for Yaeger. The man punched Braun with his fist, making him stagger in place and almost fell. Reiner wasn't idle, he sent a punch right into Zeke's face. He wanted to do it again, but he failed, because Marcel and Porco grabbed his shoulders. He groaned softly, feeling Zeke kick him in the stomach. Strong fists were hitting his body, but the pain was nothing compared to the rage and remorse Reiner felt from the moment he found out that Zoe and Smith were badly injured. He didn't agree to this plan. If Grisha wanted to blow someone up, he should have told him.

Zeke finally stepped back, and the Gaillards released him. Braun dropped to his knees, feeling the throbbing in the most injured areas, mainly around his kidneys and ribs. Zeke obviously didn't want to bruise his face too much, so Reiner wouldn't look too suspicious the next day at work.

"You'll see Grisha soon... I promise" Zeke muttered, then headed for the car. "Until then you keep your mouth shut. Soon you will get another job to do. All I can say is that it will happen sooner than you think".

Reiner watched in silence as the men got into the car and then drove away. He got up slowly from his knees. The one blow he landed on Zeke wasn't enough to soothe his rage. He still felt the anger inside. He also felt betrayed: Grisha hadn't told him the truth, which meant he didn't quite trust him.

Braun watched the car until it disappeared around the bend. He clenched his fists, feeling more helpless than ever.

Levi

There was a light in front of his eyelids.

Levi slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised, because it was already morning.

He couldn't remember the last time he'd slept all night. He suddenly winced, feeling the almost paralyzing headache. Well, he drunk a little too much yesterday's evening...

Suddenly his eyes widened. Memories from the last night came back to him.

Eren showing up in his living room. Eren sitting right next to him. Eren holding his hand. Eren lying next to him...

Levi looked to the side and saw the young man's still face resting on his chest. What the hell! So, it was real. Eren was here. Moreover, he was lying right next to him, with his head on Levi's chest! But it wasn't all, they were even hugging each other closely. Ackerman cursed mentally. How could he allow that? He was older, he should be wiser. He couldn't only blame the alcohol.

He studied Eren's still face for a moment.

On the one hand, he wanted to wake the boy up right away and told him to leave. He knew, however, that Eren, like him, hadn't had many opportunities to rest quietly lately. Seeing his sleeping face, not disturbed by anything, he hesitated.

Eren was so close. Their faces were centimeters apart. Levi could clearly see smooth skin, long eyelashes, slight stubble on Eren's chin... A few brown strands were falling on the boy's face. Levi, without thinking, reached out and brushed them away. His hand was suddenly next to Eren's face. Ackerman didn't move for a moment, but finally he touched the boy's cheek and stroked it gently. A sudden thought struck his mind… What on earth was he doing?

Eren must have felt his movement because he opened his eyes. They exchanged silent glances for a few seconds. Levi was the first to break the eye contact. He rose on his elbows, freeing the boy from his arms.

"Good morning" Eren said sleepily, smiling gently. He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, elegant pants and a black shirt that needed to be ironed again. A silver pendant flashed around his neck. The boy must have seen the consternation on Levi's face because he sat up straight and looked into his eyes. "Everything's okay? Do you have a headache?".

"What are you doing here?" Levi asked in a gruff, slightly hoarse voice. He quickly reached out to his shirt and buttoned it to a decent length. Then he touched his own temples and rubbed them gently. He didn't know what was driving him more crazy, the headache or the fact that Eren was sleeping in his bed again… and this time they were sleeping here together.

"I don't really know. I was drunk, too" The boy confessed, shrugging his shoulders. "Well, but maybe not as much as you were".

Levi looked at Yaeger warily. After a while, he managed to gather his thoughts to ask another question, which he really didn't want to ask.

"Did we…?" He asked, meeting Eren's surprised gaze. "You know…".

"Wha-at?" The boy widened his eyes and blushed. "Of course not! I would never do anything like this. I mean, I would like you to remember that".

Levi pursed his lips in exasperation. Eren was starting to irritate him more and more. The man suddenly reached out and grabbed the boy by the collar of his shirt, pulling him towards him to look at him closely. Yaeger's cheeks flushed even more.

"How many times do I have to tell you this, so that you understand?" He asked, squinting at the green pupils. "I'm not interested! From what I can remember, I said you can only count on my friendship. Now I'm wondering whether or not to withdraw this proposal".

Ackerman let Eren go and stepped back. The boy swallowed and breathed out. Levi got up from the bed, and then he heard soft voice, saying:

"We were just cuddling, so everything is correct".

"What?" Levi turned around and fixed Eren with exasperated eyes. "What the hell do you mean?".

"Well..." The boy also rose from his seat and smiled slightly. "If you can only be my friend, I guess everything is fine. Friends hug and cuddle sometimes, don't they?".

Levi shook his head in disbelief. He stated that further conversation with the boy didn't make sense. He had to change, to eat some breakfast and to take something for a hangover... And at the end, he wanted to visit Erwin and Hanji.

"Whatever. It's time for you to go, I have a lot to do today" The man said, then walked into the living room. His legs immediately carried him towards the pots. He watered a few flowers and checked the plants he forgot the night before. He was surprised to see that their soil was damp. Then he remembered that Eren had taken care of them yesterday. At least one thing the boy did right...

After a moment he heard footsteps in the living room. He saw Eren smoothing his shirt, then brushing his hair back.

"Let me know when you want to meet again" The boy said, looking at his reflection in the mirror. Once he thought he looked fairly fine, he glanced at Levi. "Until then, I will try to find out as much as I can".

"We need to know what Grisha is up to" Levi replied, grateful for the change of subject. "Besides, we need to find out which detective works for your old man".

Levi walked over to the table and reached for the tablet there. He opened a browser and went to a local news site to see if there were any new reports.

"Besides, I'll try to convince Shadis to gather a group of technicians as soon as possible to examine the remains of my car" The man said, leaning his butt against the edge of the table. "We have to somehow tie this explosion with Grisha. I will not rest, until...".

Levi suddenly fell silent and widened his eyes. He saw the headline of one article and for a moment he couldn't believe what was written there. He heard Eren's footsteps, and the boy walked over to him and stopped beside him.

"What's happening?" He asked, leaning towards the detective. Suddenly he inhaled loudly.

Levi clicked on the "play" sign, and the video started playing. The journalist began to say:

"This morning, Günther Fischer came to the police station in Trost and admitted to yesterday's attack on two investigative agents. We have not yet reached the information about the man's motives. He has been detained and is currently being questioned".

Levi turned off the video. He put down the tablet and stared straight ahead, disbelief mixed with rage.

"Fischer? Who the fuck is he?" He swore aloud.

Eren was still standing next to him. He shook his head helplessly, apparently he also didn't know this name. He looked just as shocked. Suddenly his eyes widened.

"Zeke mentioned something about Grisha having a plan. Marcel asked him if they were sure they wouldn't connect us to this outburst, but my brother said no one would. It's very possible that he meant it". The boy looked at the detective. "You think they paid this man to confess to planting the bomb?".

"It looks like it" Levi muttered, straightening up and taking a few steps towards the fireplace. "We'll definitely have to question him thoroughly, but if Grisha is prepared for this… They may even find his fingerprints, which, compared to this man's testimony, will prevent us from continuing our investigation".

"I'll find out and let you know. I'll talk to Grisha" Eren announced as he approached the man. "Let's meet in a few days, okay? By then, I should know more, and you'll be back on duty. Just send me a text with the place and time, and I'll be there".

Levi sighed softly, then nodded.

"Just try not to be too obvious. I think they know that we also have a spy. They can't suspect you".

"Sure, I'll try" Eren promised, then looked Levi in the eye. "If you see Hanji today and if Erwin wakes up... Tell them I'm sorry. And that I hope they will recover as soon as possible".

"I don't have to tell them this. They know it" Ackerman replied, looking back at the boy. "But if you want, I'll give them your regards".

"Thanks" said Yaeger. Instead of walking away, he was still standing still, not breaking eye contact. "And you, Levi... Take care of yourself, okay?".

"Stop saying me this. I always do it" The detective muttered, quickly looking to the side. "You don't have to worry about me".

"You know it's impossible. I don't want anything bad to happen to you...".

"Well, it's not up to you. You're not the one who decides about it" Levi interrupted, returning his eyes to Eren. Something in the boy's sight twitched at these words. He widened his eyelids slightly.

"I know. I wish I was..." The boy, frowning slightly.

This time it was his gaze wandered to the side. He looked thoughtful, as if he were considering some very important matter in his head. Levi didn't know what it was about, but he didn't like it.

"Hey kid, stop worrying again" Levi lifted a finger and gently touched Eren's forehead, which instantly smoothed out. "My job involves constant risk, but it also means that I am well prepared. If your brother shows up here, I'll welcome him with open arms and a loaded gun. Now stop whining and get out".

Yaeger looked at Levi and smiled slightly. The strange shadow that appeared on his face fortunately disappeared. Levi hoped never to see it again, because it didn't herald anything good.

Eren nodded. Ackerman was sure he would turn around and walk away, but as always, the boy had a different plan. He stepped steadily closer to the detective and wrapped his arms around him, hugging him. Levi's eyes widened slightly. He felt the young man's body pressed against him. Levi heard his calm breathing on his neck. Eren put one hand on the detective's back and threaded the other into his hair, brushing the black strands tenderly. Levi stood motionless, struck by the sudden closeness.

"Eren...".

The boy finally stepped back to meet the detective's eyes one last time.

"See you later" He said and then briskly left the apartment, using the back door as always.

Levi looked after him for a moment.

He wouldn't even admit it to himself, but his house immediately became unpleasantly empty, as if something important was missing.

Annie

She opened her eyes and sat immidiately This caused an explosion of pain in her right arm that made Annie groan loudly and immediately drop back onto the pillow.

"It wasn't very smart" Jean admitted, standing next to her. The man was just packing medical equipment into a bag.

"Where am I?" Annie asked weakly after a moment.

"Back at Grisha's mansion" Annie heard Ymir's voice. She looked in that direction and saw a brunette standing against the wall. Fritz lifted the corner of her mouth. "So you woke up after all. I thought you're dead".

"What are you doing here?" Annie asked, her eyes narrowing a little.

"Well, someone had to undress you. I figured you'd prefer me instead of Zeke" Ymir shrugged. "Doc also wanted someone to assist him. I don't mind the sight of blood, so... You're welcome".

Annie sighed, then looked at Jean.

"How long was I unconscious?" She asked, looking towards the window. It was starting to get dark.

"A few hours. The wound is not deep, none of the vital organs have been damaged" Jean said, looking at her. "The hardest part was removing the bullet. You didn't lost too much blood, but you do need to rest and drink plenty of water. I'll be back in a week to remove the stitches. Try not to move too much. Here are some painkillers, but try not to overuse them, they're strong".

Annie nodded.

"Thanks, Jean".

The man reached for his bag, then left the room. Ymir walked over to the blonde and crossed her arms over her chest.

"So, you'll live. Can I leave you alone now?".

Annie frowned slightly.

"What about Armin? He was there with me... What happened to him?".

"Well…" Ymir nodded suddenly appreciatively. "That boy somehow escaped from Tybur's men who wanted to kill you. They must have been following you earlier, thinking that Zeke was there with you. Armin found a hiding place and used your phone to call me. I brought you here.

"Us?" Annie was slightly surprised.

"Well, there was no way to leave him. He wanted to know if you're okay" Ymir smiled with amusement. "I think someone here is sweet on you".

Annie ignored that comment, instead asked:

"Where is he now?".

"When I brought you back, Grisha decided that he could use the boy's help right here, in his place. From what I've seen, I think they're going to finish soon".

"Can you tell him to come here?".

Ymir raised her eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Are you sure? Don't give that boy false hopes...".

"Eh, just do it, okay?" Annie added, her voice irritated. She turned her face to the side, wishing she could turn her entire body that way so as not to have to look at Ymir.

Luckily, the woman said nothing more. She left the room, closing the door behind her.

Annie sat slowly. She wanted to move the pillow a little because it felt a little unconfortable. Still, she couldn't put it in the right position. When she heard footsteps in the hallway, she quickly smoothed her hair. She frowned slightly, not understanding why she was doing this for. She shouldn't care about her looks right now. So, why...

The door opened slowly and Armin peered inside. The boy looked at her a little shyly, but when he made sure that she was awake, he entered the room, closing the door behind him.

"How are you?" He asked, taking a few steps towards her. He was still wearing the same sweatshirt he had worn hours ago when they left his apartment.

"Better. I'm fine, Jean is exaggerating" Annie replied, rising slightly on her elbows.

Armin walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. Before she could ask what he was doing, he leaned toward her and put the pillow a little higher, so Annie could lean back against it. Then the boy moved back, but only a bit. He was still sitting right next to her.

"Oh… thanks" The girl muttered. She didn't know how this was possible, that this man could always guess everything. "I didn't know if you would still be here...".

"Grisha said I can work from here this time. He was also grateful that I helped you".

"Yeah, I can only imagine" Annie said sarcastically.

"I didn't do it for him" The boy confessed, looking into her eyes.

Annie suddenly felt her cheeks burn. It had to be a fever. The girl cleared her throat softly and looked to the side.

"I still can't understand how you got away. These two cars followed us, right?

"Yes" Armin admitted, nodding. He adjusted the glasses resting on his nose. "After you passed out, I stopped the car to quickly switch places with you. That people also stopped their cars, they must have thought they shot both of us. They wanted to be sure we're dead or maybe to kidnap us. I have no idea what their plan was... But they stepped outside, and it gave me some time. When I started the car and moved, of course they started chasing us. I knew I couldn't escape them, so I had to do something else".

"What did you do?" Annie wanted to know. She listened to Armin with widened eyes.

"Well ... you're not gonna like this..." Armin confessed, smiling embarrassedly and touching the back of his neck. "I ran a red light at an intersection and caused a small collision… Okay, quite a big collision. I broke your car a bit, but due to the fact that several other cars collided with each other, the intersection blocked a bit and the people who were chasing us were unable to move. I managed to escape, though not unscathed. I parked in a place where no one would notice us from the street and borrowed your phone to call for help.

"Wow" Leonhardt commented after a brief pause. "I'm impressed. Grisha doesn't want to hire you for my position?".

Armin laughed softly, but it was quite a bitter laugh.

"Fortunately not. This would be the last thing I need".

They both said nothing for a moment. The boy was still sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Annie steadily. The girl looked to the side. As the silence was taking too long, she looked up at Armin with her blue eyes.

"Thank you for your help. Sorry for being so useless".

"It's not your fault, you're hurt!" Armin widened his eyes. "You could have died...".

"Such a profession" Annie narrowed her eyes and gently lifted the corners of her mouth. "I chose this job myself".

"We both know that's not entirely true" Arlert whispered.

Annie twitched slightly at these words. She didn't know if Grisha had any wiretaps installed on his property, but she didn't want to risk. The conversation began to take a dangerous turn.

"It was good to see you" She said, a little louder than before. She gave Armin a knowing look. "Unfortunately, someone else will have to drive you back because I'm not able to".

"Sure. I hope you get better soon" The boy was looking at her with tenderness that made the girl feel the blush appearing on her cheeks again. "And I hope to see you soon. You can come anytime, we could drink coffee sometime. Or tea, it depends what you prefer".

Armin hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took Annie's hand. The girl was surprised and looked at the blond man questioningly. He only smiled in response. They stared at each other for several seconds, until finally Annie replied:

"I prefer coffee".

"So be it then" Armin agreed. He touched the blonde's hand for a moment longer. Finally he got up and straightened. "I'll try to clean the apartment by then".

The girl suddenly smiled with amusement.

"I'll take you at your word".

Arlert headed for the door, opened it and, before disappearing down the hall, said:

"Get well soon".

Annie watched after him for a moment, not understanding what made her accept Arlert's offer. Ymir was right, she shouldn't give the boy any hopes. On the other hand, it was about drinking coffee together, nothing more. She could afford that...

The girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She should rest now. She had to recover quickly.

Levi

Ackerman nodded to the officer sitting outside the room. While holding a shopping bag in his hand, he entered the brightly lit room and immediately heard loud laughter.

At Hanji's bedside sat a bartender whom Levi knew well. He was holding Zoe's hand and they were obviously laughing at something that made them immensely amused. They were looking at Erwin, who was smiling gently. Everyone suddenly turned to face Levi. Ackerman stopped between the two beds and looked at Smith, eyes widening.

"Erwin ..." Levi whispered, then quickly walked over to the man and took his good hand. He completely ignored the fact that Hanji and Moblit were looking at him. "When did you wake up? How do you feel?".

"It's been better" Erwin replied in a low, tired voice. There were dark circles under his blue eyes. His mouth, however, stretched into a smile. Levi stared at him for a moment longer, then withdrew his hand and looked at Hanji.

"Levi, I can finally introduce you. This is Moblit" The woman said, looking at the bartender. The man nodded to Levi and smiled. "I wanted it to look a little different... But well, life. Moblit, this is Levi, my best friend".

"Hey, what about me?" Erwin asked, squinting his eyes slightly.

"Shhh… It's only for now, so he can bring us more donuts" Hanji explained in a conspiratorial whisper.

Levi lifted the corner of his mouth, then stood up and walked over to Moblit.

"Thanks for calling me, Moblit" Ackerman said and shook the bartender's hand. Moblit squeezed it gently.

"You're welcome. Nice to meet you, Levi. I really wanted to meet you officially since Hanji and I started dating".

Levi glanced at his friend, her cheeks flushed red.

"Yeah... Hm, back to the topic, what did you bring us, Levi?" Hanji adjusted the glasses on her nose. Levi reached down to the bag he had brought and laid out all the items on one of the tables. Hanji clapped her hands seeing fruit juices, grapes, rice wafers and a box of donuts.

Moblit spent a while with them, then said goodbye as he had to go back to work. He kissed Hanji on the lips with frank tenderness, which caused another blush to appear on Zoe's cheeks.

Levi stayed with his friends yet, making sure they had everything they needed. They both felt better, though Hanji was still very weak, and Erwin still didn't regain feeling in his injured arm. Still, the two detectives were thirsty for news. Levi summarized to them as best he could everything that had happened in the last few days.

"So to sum up ..." Hanji said, chewing on a donut. "Some completely random man turned himself in, claiming he was behind this attack. Technicians found his fingerprints, so you can't continue with the investigation... That's just too much".

"Look at the bright side" Erwin added quietly, looking at his friends. He reached up with his good hand to the plate of grapes. Levi immediately moved the plate closer for Smith, so he could help himself. "Tom's arrest was extended. Levi will be interviewing him in a few days".

"Well, I won't do it on my own" Levi said, also reaching for a grape. He was still sitting on the bed next to Erwin. "I'll be working with the team of people, collected by Shadis".

"What about Eren?" Zoe wanted to know. A chunk of frosting was left on her upper lip. "Did you guys meet? Have you come to something new?".

The grape Levi was just holding, somehow escaped from his hand and fell to the floor. Ackerman was speechless for a moment as the memory of his last meeting with Yaeger returned to him. He could still feel the remourse because of everything that happened that night. He could only excuse himself for being drunk, but the guilt was eating him alive. He was supposed to avoid such situations, and somehow they still happened to him.

"Levi?" Hanji's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Everything's okay?".

"Yes!" Ackerman said quickly, bending down to get the grape he dropped and then dumped it in the garbage can. "We talked a little. He promised to find out what is Grisha up to. We'll probably meet again in a few days. He's worried about you, he wanted me to give you his regards".

"Oh, thank him from me!" Hanji exclaimed, smiling gratefully. "And hug him tightly from me. Oh no, wait a minute... I almost forgot you hate hugs".

Hanji laughed happily.

Levi just pressed his lips into a narrow line, trying not to show his panic.

To his relief, Zoe changed the subject.

As Smith said, a few days later Levi entered the small conference room where Keith Shadis was waiting for him. The man nodded to Levi, but before he got down to business, he asked how Erwin and Hanji were doing.

"Better, though hard to tell when they recover" Ackerman confessed, glancing at his commander. He knew Shadis was strict, but one couldn't accused him of not worrying about his subordinates.

"You may be surprised what I say, especially under the circumstances, but Yaeger has done us a favor" Keith said after a moment, reaching for the armful of documents. "We got an official letter from Senator Darius Zackly. Our department will receive substantial funding to continue the investigation. We'll get more people so we can get down to work. We just need to figure out where to start".

Levi leaned toward the papers, feeling the excitement rising within him. Finally, some good news.

"When we were breaking the Heckmann's group, their organization began to fall apart the moment the petty dealers stopped trusting their superiors. Do you remember, sir? It was like a house of cards. It started from the very bottom…" Levi's eyes narrowed slightly. "...until at one point it also devoured the top. Let's do it this way, let's not give Grisha a moment to rest. Let him panic when his people will lost his trust for him".

"I agree. Unfortunately, as I said, with Zoe and Smith being indisposed at the moment, we need a few extra pairs of hands to work" Shadis looked at the watch on the wall. "I asked them to join our meeting, they should be here soon".

As soon as Keith spoke the words, there was a knock on the door. It opened and two tall figures stepped inside.

"Levi, you probably know Nanaba Holz and Gelgar Backer?" Shadis showed the newcomers the free chairs.

Ackerman nodded to the two detectives. Nanaba was a slender blonde, her hair was cut short. Gelgar was a tall man, he had brown hair that he styled in a pompadour. Levi knew them and had to admit that the commander had made the right choice. Of course, he only trusted the agents with whom he worked on a daily basis, but unusual situations called for unusual solutions.

"I look forward to working together" Levi said, staring at the newcomers. "We just talked with the commander about our previous case, when...".

"Levi, hold on a minute" Shadis held out his hand. "We are waiting for one more person".

Ackerman blinked, but obediently fell silent. A moment later the door opened again. Levi looked that way and froze.

"Sorry I'm late" The tall, stately blond said, as he lifted the corner of his mouth gently.

"Just in time. Levi, you probably know agent Braun, too?" Shadis wanted to know.

Reiner dropped into the chair next to Ackerman and looked at the man.

"Yes, we know each other quite well" Braun replied, as Levi was reluctant to answer. "However, we haven't yet had the opportunity to work together on the investigation. I'm glad that this opportunity has finally arisen, although I would prefer the circumstances to be different".

Levi stared at the face of the detective sitting next to him, trying not to show the magnitude of the dislike he felt at that moment. He knew he had no reason to dislike Braun so much, but his intuition was stronger. He didn't trust him and couldn't imagine working with him. He only managed to mutter:

"Yeah, I'm glad, too".

Shadis cut to the chase immediately, started assigning tasks. Levi listened attentively and added something from himself every now and then, but he couldn't shake the acrid feeling of irritation, which was caused by Reiner sitting right next to him.

He had no choice but to adapt to the situation and give Braun a chance.

If setting up a new team was to help the investigation, he was willing to pay any price to finally catch Grisha.
