I've always had this, knack for listening to other people's conversations.

And that is what just happened, right now. I get back from the club only to hear yelling. Of course, it had to be the brat and his chick, fighting over all the problems they had apparently, neglected for some time.

I don't know why, but, hearing them fight like that…it filled my heart with warmth. No, not because I appreciate people getting hurt by their spouse…I actually can't really explain why I felt like this.

"That's my job; I can't just neglect it over some stupid dinner!"

I heard a muffled yell from Eren, and then there was a dead silence. I could only imagine what was going on in there.

On a certain level I felt kind of guilty, but after hearing all of the things they were arguing over; well, it's pretty obvious that their relationship has been failing for a while…you could say that I was just the booster pump.

I hadn't been here the whole argument, but I had heard most of it, so I wouldn't be surprised if they broke up after this.

Just hope that this doesn't cause any trouble in our line of work.

O.O.O.O

I arrived at six o'clock at the headquarters, feeling tired as fuck. So I went to the cafeteria and grabbed a cup of coffee, went to my office and began doing the paperwork that had accumulated during the week.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door, groaning I said a reluctant "Come in" and kept scribbling on the paper.

Lifting my head to see who had knocked, I saw Erwin along with Eren and his…girlfriend?

"Levi, I would like to introduce you to Mikasa Ackerman, she is the best in what she does back in Miami." Please tell me that this isn't going where I think it is. "So, I thought that maybe, she could help you and Yeager on the case."

"Are you giving me a choice, or are you informing me about it?" I asked with an annoyed expression and continued writing down on the files.

"I'm informing you."

"Then, I guess there's no point in coming here to tell me about it then." I responded curtly as I got up and left the room. Leaving the lovebirds by themselves.

I don't know why I suddenly felt this compression in my chest, could it be jealousy? No, it's probably because I won't be able to talk to the brat like I used to…Yeah it has to be that.

So as always I was observing the couple and noticed the tension, definitely not something I wanted to get in the middle of.

Since I was done for the day I decided to take a walk outside, so as I was passing by an alley, I noticed something.

Two buff men, with skull masks on, were holding a scrawny business man at gun point. Silently pulling my gun out of its holster, I took the safety off and ventured into the dark, humid and gunk filled alley.

"FBI put your hands where I can see them!" I yelled out as I aimed to the man holding the gun at the scrawny dude's head.

All three of them stiffened as they heard me, slowly turning around to look at me. Sneering I pressed the barrel of my gun on his forehead.

"Who the fuck are you?" I asked with a low menacing tone. Causing the business man with glasses to shake.

"I don't think that's any of your business pendejo." The man that was holding the, who I thought, innocent man against the wall, replied in a crude manner. I honestly don't know what the hell pendejo means, but I needed backup right now.

"Very well." Putting my gun back in the holster, I swiftly turned to the other guy holding the gun and punched him hard in the face. While he was distracted, I grabbed his mask and pulled it off, revealing a tan face with a goatee and a small mustache; he also had a scar that started from his forehead and crossed over his left eye.

I took him by the hair, and lifted my knee to hit him in the face. Of course, the guy that came with him grabbed me from behind, wrapping his arms around my shoulders, putting his hands on the nape of my neck.

The guy with the scar was still on the floor, giving me the chance to kick him on the nape of his neck. Knocking him unconscious.

I couldn't move my arms very well, but what this guy didn't know, is that he leaves an opening for me to grab his hair.

Moving my forearm to his head, I took a handful of his greasy hair, pulled him forward, and hit his forehead with the back of my head. Then, I moved my legs; I swung both of them up, causing the guy behind me to loosen his grip, while I flipped over the guy, I lifted my left leg, jumped, and kicked him in the back of the neck, knocking him out as well.

I turned to the guy that was still pressed against the wall, looking like he was about to piss himself. I hopped he didn't though.

Taking out my phone, I dialed Erwin, and waited for him to pick up. It only rung once before he did.

"Hello?"

"Erwin, I need you to bring Yeager and his chick over to the alley in between the Saint María Avenue and Shiganshina Street. Make sure to bring a patrol with you."

"Levi, what happened?"

"I'll tell you later, just do what I'm telling you."

"We'll be there soon."

I hung up and waited for them to get here. They didn't take long considering that I, came walking and they came by car. So as they walked up to the alley, the police officers immediately took out their cuffs, and hauled the two unconscious men into the car.

"Yeager, Ack-." I froze as I began saying the chick's last name. I don't know why, but I brushed it off as simple tiredness."

"Ackerman, I want you both to take this man to HQ, and question him. I have a feeling he's involved with these guys, I doubt that these guys were just looking to take his watch." I instructed quietly and I began walking towards Erwin.

O.O.O.O

"So, you're Joe Bryant?" I asked as I took the files I had in my hands, glaring at the scrawny man in front of me.

"Y-yes, that would be me." He stuttered pathetically as he twiddled with his thumbs.

"Why are you so nervous Joe? Are you perhaps, hiding something?" Mikasa asked from beside me, staring the balding man down.

"Tell us, why were those guys assaulting you at the alley? Were they trying to steal something from you?" I asked the man, leaning forward on the small metal table.

I knew that Shorty and Erwin were looking from behind the polarized glass that was set on the left side of the room. This was my opportunity to show the guy that I wasn't a useless kid.

And I would show him.
