69 A Girl's Dilemma

Annie saw how Levi barely escaped the onslaught of bullets raining down on him. She saw how skillful Levi is in using his ODM gear.

Seeing that Levi fly successfully without getting hurt. Annie then followed them in a considerable distance to not be found out.

Annie then jumped down and began to follow their trails.

… .

As Vincent observed his past Classmates on the roof. Based on their appearance, they look like they successfully apprehended the snatcher. 

Then…

*bang*

Vincent frowned as he heard a faint gunshot from the distance. It's not just one gunshot, but a heck ton of them.

He looked at the rooftop and it looked like Mikasa and the others heard it too. Seeing them quickly left and using their ODM gear to go towards where the gunshot location is, Vincent then uses his means to and quickly uses a little amount of gas on his ODM gear and parkour his way towards the gunshots.

… .

As Annie observed from the distance. She saw Levi barely escaping alive and quickly used his ODM gear to hide inside one of the bars.

In the distance, Annie observed and quickly counted the People at Military Police. 

'19'

Annie thought of that as she finished counting when… 

With a quick movement, Annie kicked the person that appeared suddenly behind her. 

*thud*

Annie then felt that her kick got blocked and so back down to distance and said, "Who?!" As she asked that, a Familiar voice drifted from the person's location as he revealed himself.

"Calm down, Annie. It's me."

Annie saw Vincent and quickly calmed down, "Sorry." Annie bowed and then asked as she looked at Vincent's hand.

"Are you hurt?" Since she kicked him. Annie wondered if he got hurt.

"No, I'm fine," Vincent said and then looked towards where a lot of people in Military Police sort of Uniform, was standing on the roof, circling a Bar.

"What happened here?"

Annie was relieved that Vincent was fine, even though she knew she never landed a solid hit on Vincent and always got blocked. Annie threw all the useless thoughts she had and began reporting the details.

"Captain Levi of the Survey Corps hot besieged and circled by a bunch of Military Police with those toys they had," Annie paused and looked towards the bar and continued, "Kenny Ackermann got inside the bar with Levi, and currently I don't know Levi's status."

"Is Levi hurt?" Vincent asked as he looked around the roof. 

"No… I think he's fine." Annie answered since he knew how strong people can be and a little bit of scratch is no big deal for them.

*bang*

A gunshot was heard and a person suddenly flew outside the bar. 

"Who is it? Is it Levi?" Annie asked as she looked at the person, but then saw Kenny Ackermann. 

Without a pause. A glass has been broken and one of the Military Police members fired two shots towards the chair that flew. The person mistook the chair for Levi and shot it. Levi then used this chance and used his ODM gear to kill the guy, and even dragged him to use as a Shield. 

Vincent watched a bit stunned as he saw how Levi skillfully used ODM gear to kill and escaped the encirclement of Military Police. Levi killed three people in the process of escaping and then flew towards where Historia and Eren's carriage was.

Looking towards the person that was still on the ground, Vincent thought. 

'Kenny Ackermann. Such a strong opponent. I am 80% confident of killing him, but that burst of power he did that time in the tunnel… is so strong that it flipped my chances of killing him to low as 30%.'

Putting down his Telescope, Vincent then said, "Let's go and chase Levi."

… .

As Annie and Vincent followed Levi. They spotted a Carriage that was driven by one of the Military Police. Vincent stopped and looked towards the carriage using his Telescope and saw the unconscious Eren and Historia, "They drugged them?"

Vincent then saw Mikasa and the others called out towards Levi who just killed another Military Police. 

Looking at them. Vincent then saw them occupying the carriage. 

He then saw 2 two people use their guns to shoot towards Jean and Armin who barely escaped thanks to the timely rescue of Levi and Mikasa.

As the carriage near the Wall towards the Mitras Capital. The people in Military Police then occupied and captured Historia and Eren again.

Looking once again, Vincent then looked towards Annie and said, "Chased the carriage. And I will be in the Inn as always."

Annie nodded her head and began chasing the Carriage sneakily watching it far from the distance. But because of the Telescope, the carriage can be easily spotted.

… .

"As I chased the Carriage towards Mitras City. The carriage stopped at one of the noble houses. Historia is fine with Rod Reiss and he, from what I see, is treating Historia quite caring."

Annie reported towards Vincent who was still in the bed. 

"Ok…" Vincent absentmindedly answered and just looked up at the ceiling. 

Annie was worried and so asked Vincent in concern, "Vincent! You've been acting strangely in the past days… Just what exactly happened?"

Vincent got up and said, "Nothing…"

"Nothing you say… Is it perhaps you still did not trust me?" Annie said that as she bit her lips in frustration and looked down from the floor. Her eyes were starting to moist and tears were threatening to fall.

Vincent looked towards Annie. Annie waited and just felt the warm hand of Vincent patting his head. She looked up and saw Vincent who then said, "Trust me, everything will be fine."

Vincent patted Annie's head and then began walking towards the shower where he could wash himself. 

Annie watched as Vincent began to disappear and entered the shower room and mumbled. 

"I trust you, but… I can't leave everything in your hand… I want to help too…"
