HIYA! First of all, I'd like to apologize for my sudden hiatus from updating regularly. I have literally hit a writer's block and I'm trying to squeeze ideas out of my head (cause it's a bit sad without having Levi around haha). Anyway, like i mentioned before, regular updates weren't promised as this is only a side project of mine but i totally appreciate you all being patient and reading this story. Love you all 3

Recap:

Speaking of them, I roughly flipped the body over and pulled back the hood. As their face registered into my mind, a smirk crawled onto my face.

"Well, if you look at that…"

"Lily Adams, Military Police of two years, born from within Wall Sina." Fuji read through her report as we stared down at the girl cuffed to one of his office chairs. The prissy blonde girl shifted in her restrained position, glaring at everything in the room. I eyed her from my position in the office.

"Don't forget a major pain in the ass." I added, leaning against the door, arms crossed. Lily glanced behind her shoulder and glared.

"You have no right to speak, trainee. You attacked a senior Military Police officer. Under the unofficial MP Act, page 2-"

"-segment 2. Basically, violent actions towards a senior Military Police officer with the intention to do harm is punishable. Blah, blah-" I grinned, "-blah."

"My family will make sure you fry, trainee." She threatened. Fuji snickered, catching her attention and confusion. He looked over at me.

"Now that she is in our custody, do you want to introduce yourself Hazura?" Fuji suggested. I smirked and began to walk towards the desk.

"Despite the circumstances, it's nice to meet you Lily Adams." I began, earning another glare from the girl. "My name is Rina Hazura, Special Inspector of the Military Police. Which makes me your senior, actually. Also, may I quote 'Under the unofficial MP Act, page 2, segment 2: violent actions towards a senior Military Police officer with the intention to do harm is punishable.' "

"You wouldn't punish me." suddenly, her confidence seeped out in one go and she turned into a meek defenseless girl.

"Well it depends." I pondered, placing a finger on my chin in thought.

"On what?"

"On what information you can confirm for us. First, what I want to know is why the Military Police sent you of all people to attack me."

At that, she scoffed. "I'm more capable than you put me out to be."

"I find that hard to believe." I muttered, quickly coughing to cover the slight laugh that had slipped out. Fuji rolled his eyes and continued, letting me recover my wits.

"You don't strike me as a person who just willingly does favours for people. What was in it for you?"

"I was promised that I could get fast tracked into a Senior, regarding my abilities." She prided herself, lifting her chin slightly in confidence. I noted that into my head. So the MP contact had enough power to fast track a cadet into a Senior officer. That rounded it down to the top few levels of management Military Police officers. However, that was still too many people to connect. We needed more.

"You? A Senior officer?" I chuckled, successfully earning another glare. "Please, as if they suddenly saw you during training and took an interest in your abilities."

"You underestimate me, Rina Hazura. I was approached by Officer Rehardt himself."

I shot a look to Fuji and he quickly noted the name down, mumbling in reply to my silent question.

"He's a senior officer in the administration department of the Sina military. He must be some kind of recruiter for the corruption ring."

"We need to put out an eye on his actions and grab anyone that would testify against him." I stated, moving my gaze back to Adams.

"Hold up, corruption ring? What the hell is going on here? I have nothing to do with any damn corruption here!" Lily suddenly exclaimed at the two words, her pleading gaze shooting between Fuji and I.

"Could've fooled me." I leaned against Fuji's desk crossed my arms again. "You were caught red-handed stealing evidence related to a corruption case from a Military Police investigator. I'm sure you can do the math and realise what you put yourself into."

"You're now an accessory before the fact." Fuji answered, his eyes still reading the folder in front of him.

"But-but-"

"There is one way to help us out." Fuji finally looked up from his reading and shot her a sharp look. "You do what Investigator Hazura says."

Adams glanced over at me, wary. The tip of my mouth quirked up.

"It's nothing juvenile. I want you to arrange a meeting with Officer Rehardt regarding the task that you were given."

"All charges against me will be dropped?" Adams perked up.

"Honestly no. You will still be charged with attempting to remove evidence from a MP investigator. However, that seems much better with being charged as being an accessory of a corruption ring currently operating within these walls."

"I arrange a meeting with the officer. That's it?" Adams gave me a questioning look. I raised an eyebrow.

"Unless you want spend 10 more hours within this office reading through files, yes. You make it sound like it's just an update on the task that he sent you on and we'll take care of the rest."

She pressed her mouth into a tight line, pondering over her choice. Mentally, Fuji and I were praying that she would go with the deal. Pulling Rehardt out of the blue for sudden questioning would receive too much attention and may blow the case out of the water should the Mastermind catch up. Then the next four words from Adams gave us a silent wave of relief.

"All right. I'm in."
