After dealing with cadet Adams and doing a little bit of more digging into Rehardt, I headed over to the interrogation wing of the MP Head Quarters and found Fuji already with officer, inside one of the boxes. Deciding to let him do his thing, I entered the room, staying silent. Rehardt's eyes flickered over to me briefly before Fuji demanded his attention again.

"Rehardt, we have enough evidence to strip you of your status for simply being in coercive contact with a known criminal. Give us a same and this can all go away."

Rehardt scoffed. "I highly doubt you would write this one off, Fuji. You're too righteous for that." He crossed his arms, watching as my partner squirmed in frustration.

"Fuji, I reckon we both deserve a coffee. Any chance you can get me a cup?" I suggested, leaning against the wall behind him. Fuji glanced back at me, raising an eyebrow. I arched an eyebrow in return and with that, Fuji sighed, running a hand over his face.

"I am a little worn out. You like it strong?"

"Nothing better."

I kept my eyes on Rehardt as Fuji rose from his seat and strolled out, closing the door behind him. The MP officer gazed at me warily, waiting for me to speak.

I began, crossing my arms.

"Charlotte."

At this, Rehardt's eyes narrowed into slits and his fists slowly clenched. However, he didn't say a word.

"Lucy." I continued. Rehardt snapped and finally broke his silence.

"If you do anything-"

"-relax, Officer." I waved a hand lazily through the air. "I'm not one to harm innocent civilians. However, what I do know is that your children seem to adore you. What would they think when they found out Daddy was arrested for helping bad people? You know children. They are so easily influenced these days."

Rehardt had fallen silent again, his eyes still on me. It was a tense few minutes before he spoke.

"They won't believe it."

I shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. Considering you're their father, I also doubt it. However, once you're put into prison, I can assure you the only time you'll see them is through a drawn picture. Unless you give me a name."

"I don't have a name to give you."

"Ah, I almost forgot!" I clapped my left hand onto my right fist. "Everyone must have a trusted ally right? There was no possible way that you were in this alone. I bet you told your wife everything."

At this, Rehardt shot up from his chair, the wooden legs screeching across the floor.

"She knows nothing! She's innocent! I haven't told her anything about the corruption!"

I made a sound of interest and glanced at him.

"Corruption, you say?"

The officer paled at my point and slowly sunk back down into his seat.

"She's innocent…" he murmured.

"Give me a name, Rehardt. There's no way you don't have a name. You were simply a pawn in this corruption but even you have someone to report to."

At this, Rehardt looked up at me wearily. I moved and leaned forward on the table, trying to get into his head.

"Let's go hypothetical. They wouldn't care that you're with us, under arrest. Even if you didn't tell us anything, they'll still leave you to rot in here behind bars or worse, blacklist you once you get back into the ranks. Might as well help yourself out of this. We can lessen your judgement if you were to give us a credible lead. Of course, this is all hypothetically." I moved away again and slowly paced myself around the room, avoiding eye contact with the officer. "After all, we live in a world ruled by Titans. A world where the most important thing to humans is survival."

After that comment, the officer fell silent. However, his face showed that he was in deep thought, so I decided to let him think on his options for the rest of the night. Leaving Fuji to deal with locking him back into his cell, I made my way towards the Corps headquarters. Luckily for tonight, I didn't have to hide anything. He probably would think it was a waste of time but I needed to thank Levi for saving my ass the other night.

I made it to Levi's office without any major troubles and knocked on his door.

"Name and purpose."

At that, I twisted the doorknob and let myself in, closing the door softly behind me. Levi instantly looked up, a scowl on his face.

"Don't you understand what 'name and purpose' means?" with a short glare, he returned to his paperwork.

"If I answered, you wouldn't have let me in." I replied and sat down opposite him. "I wanted to thank you for saving my ass the other night."

Levi sighed and paused in writing. "You're right, I probably wouldn't have let you in."

I rolled my eyes. "Just accept the gratitude, Levi. It's not every day that I give out thanks."

"Ungrateful piece of-"

"Levi, be serious. Can you just give me a 'not a problem' in response?"

"If I were to say 'not a problem', I would not have entered the Survey Corps."

I brought my fingers to my head and rubbed at my temples. Why was he such a smart-ass half of the time?

"However, gratitude accepted. Also, in hindsight, any idea why you were attacked?"

My movements froze as I quickly came up with an excuse.

"I'm a Military Police officer. That should be enough reason to be attacked."

Levi made an unamused sound. "Try again, I don't believe you."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, Corporal. Either way, it may or may not be confidential."

"Then tell me the non-confidential side."

"I just did. You said you didn't believe me." I stood up, ready to head back and leave Levi before I spilled my guts out to him. "Anyway, I'll see you around, Levi. Hopefully it won't be under the same circumstances."

My friend watched as I headed out his door before replying.

"I hope so. So both of our sakes."
