[...]: Sorry to keep you waiting, Erwin..-Erwin's eyes look up at him- I know it's sudden, but let's get the interrogation over with..

Outside, two reporters question a Nile by saying.

[...]: So, it's unmistakable that the Scout Regiment murdered a civilian?..-Nile sighs, crossing his arms together-

[Nile]: Judging by the evidence, at least. Having said that, we can't say for sure at the time being..

[...]: Are you saying the Interior Police are responsible for issuing the search--?..-The other reporter asks-

[...]: Hey, Peasure!..-The other reporter said, taking Peasure's journal from his hands- Sorry about him, Commander Dawk. He's still a rookie, through and through. He doesn't know how we do things within the walls. Don't you worry about the Interior Police. We won't write anything about 'em. That goes for their new ODM gear, too..

[Nile]: I appreciate it, Roy..-Nile said, before looking away from them and going into thought- Their new ODM gear... That buckshot is useless against Titans, but it's perfect for killing people. It's a weapon practically made for killing the Scouts... Plus, its existence being hidden even from us means... sooner or later, we might find ourselves staring down their muzzles all the same...-He then starts to walk away from the two- Anyways, we should hear a report from them soon, so be patient..

Meanwhile, Flegel runs through the street, being chased by the Military Police as one calls out to him.

[...]: Wait up, you fat-ass!..

He looks over to see three people chasing him before he takes a left towards an alley way. He stops though when he's met with a dead end.

[...]: You idiot! That way's a dead end!..

[Flegel]: Shit!..-Flegel tries to climb over boxes of crates, but then, Hanji flies down, grabs him and covers his mouth with her hand, and flies up as the three men finally reach over to the alley way-

[...]: Shit, he's gone!..

[...]: Find him! Find him!..

As those three run away, Hanji watches them before turning back over to Flegel.

[Hanji]: You're the son of Boss Reeves, right? What's your name?..-Flegel takes a moment before answeing-

[Flegel]: Flegel..

[Hanji]: Nice to meet you, Flegel. I'm Hanji Zoe. The thing is, if the Military Police is after you, that must mean you know the truth about your father's death, right? Can you tell me what happened?..-Flegel places a hand on his head as he went to explain to her-

[Flegel]: While I was busy taking a piss, the Interior Police got my old man. A tall guy wearing a black goat... he killed my father...-Tears were in his eyes as Hanji said-

[Hanji]: In any case, it's great that you're still alive. Now we can make the truth public.. 

[Flegel]: How's that?! Haven't you seen the paper?! If the Military Police say the Scouts did it, that's the truth! My testimony means jack shit! They know I was there... The Interior Police found out I saw everything... Now there's nowhere safe for me to go. All I can do is run and hide in these cramped walls... My life is... shit!..-Tears are now falling down his cheeks as Hanji had her eyebrows furrowed-

[Hanji]: Well, you have a point... The thing is, that doesn't sound like living to me. Look at it this way, Flegel. Instead of scampering around like a scared little mouse your whole life, wouldn't you rather face up to your enemy, even if it means risking your life--?..
