ARMIN: My body was shaking. I knew we weren't in trouble, but I still didn't like the idea of being in a police office this late at night.
Officer Gunther Schultz sat down in front of us. "Good evening, mind if I ask you kids a few questions?"
"Go ahead, Officer," Mikasa replied.
"Do you three have any relation to Miss Annie Leonhardt?"
"She's a student at our high school," Eren said.
"Do you spend any time with her outside of school?"
"No, sir," I replied this time, my voice trembling.
"Have you noticed any strange behavior with Miss Leonhardt?"
"Strange?" Eren inferred.
"Drugs, alcohol, smoking, overall shifty behavior?"
"Um, well we've seen her hang out with two other kids but that shouldn't be too strange." I said.
"Describe these two individuals."
"One of them is really tall with black hair, and the other is also really tall but he has blond hair and a bulkier physique." I tried to describe them the best I could, but I didn't really know much about them besides the fact their names were Bertoldt Fubar and Reiner Braun.
"Can you tell me what kind of student Miss Leonhardt is?"
"She's pretty quiet, always sits in the back of the classroom. Not really a delinquent. She's kind of antisocial besides being friends with Bertoldt and Reiner." Eren said.
"Alright, I don't think I have any more questions." Officer Shultz said, writing down the last bit of Eren's testimony. "I'll take you kids back to Levi's office."
"It's awfully late for you three to be out with Mr. Ackerman," Officer Ral pointed out, "aren't your parents concerned?"
Eren shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Mikasa pulled her scarf over her mouth.
"We...we don't have parents anymore." I said.
"The Titans, they killed my mom and my dad left me shortly after," Eren growled. "Mikasa's parents were murdered by human traffickers right before her eyes. And Armin, his parents died years ago and he had to live with his grandfather until recently."
"I see," Officer Ral said, "I'm very sorry to hear-"
"Don't apologize!" Eren snapped, standing up.
"Eren, don't shout." Mikasa mumbled.
"I'm actually grateful we were left on Levi's doorstep! If we hadn't, we might be in some miserable orphanage. And this way, I can avenge my mother's death by incarcerating every Titan out there!" Eren said.
"You have such strong ambitions." Officer Jin said. "I think you'll do well to achieve your goal."
Eren sat back down in his chair. "T-thanks..."
"Alright, we'd better get you back to Mr. Ackerman's office." Officer Shultz said. "Officer Jin will take you. Have a good night, you three."
"Thank you, Officer," Mikasa said. Eren and I nodded in response.
