I look at Faith in surprise.
"What?"
'It's crazy because we have some agents in that hospital that are weak at this moment. If we lose any more...I don't think HQ will be alright!'
"Agents...ARMIN! He's in that hospital! W-we have to go get him - Hey!" Eren started to panic. He was about to run out until I pulled him back by his shoulder.
"We need to think rationally about this." I regained my composure.
"How can you be so calm about this?! That's my friend and - quote on quote - 'the brains of the group' in that hospital. He's probably getting threatened and...and -" Levi slapped the back of his head.
"Brat, shut up. We're going right now to save the hostages. Calm down." Levi said. Eren winced and rubbed the back of his head.
"Tell Erwin we'll talk to him later," I told Faith to which she nodded. I gestured the guys to follow me and we all ran to my car. We exited the underground parking garage and went to the hospital. Police cars and S.W.A.T. teams were surrounding the area and entering the place. Civilians were looking at the hospital and talking amongst themselves, some crying and some praying. We parked nearby and snuck into the hospital through the front entrance. Police officers barely noticed us.
'Well, aren't you doing just great at your job.' I thought as I glanced back. I could hear the threats of the serial killer ring throughout the whole hospital. Damn, he had a loud voice.
"Take the stairs," Levi said when Eren was about to go into the elevator. He glanced back at the elevator and sighed but reluctantly followed us through the metal door. I took out my pistol, locked and loaded it and got ready for anything.
We ran up the stairs as quietly as we can do the killer couldn't hear us. We made it to Armin's floor in a matter of two minutes. Eren burst through the door with his gun up, ready to shoot. Levi did the same to the other side and I walked through them, hand at my hip where my dagger rested. The yelling was louder this time, echoing through the blank white halls. The smell of medication and disinfectant no longer present, I only smelled fire and gunpowder. A smell I was familiar with. With a gesture to follow me, we swiftly went through the hall to Armin's room. Our boots clanked quietly against the white tiles. We entered Armin's room to see the coconut head was not present.
"Damn! Fu(nking) sh(et)! We are too late!" Eren started to panic. He pulled off the covers of the bed, hoping it was a prank.
Unfortunately, it was not.
Armin was gone and it would only be a matter of minutes until he was really gone. To the point of no return. I grabbed Eren's wrist and ran out the door, Levi was in tow. I heard the sounds. The sounds of crying and yelling.
"Over there," Levi spoke and pointed towards the room at the end of the hallway. We neared the door and peeked inside. What we saw made Eren's blood boil.
Armin was being held up by his shirt, bruises and cuts lined his face. His shoulder was bleeding, I assumed his wound had opened. Armin looked at the guy, blue met brown. Fear met with insanity.
'I feel like I've seen this guy before...' I thought as I looked at him.
"Wait...that's the-" I whispered until Levi cut me off.
"The serial killer is the same guy from the plane..."
'F(lippity), this will be difficult.' I thought of a plan while looking around the room. Armin was on the floor, groaning in pain and clutching his nose. 2 children, one was bald and one looked similar to her, a woman who looked about 30 in a doctor's coat, and a male accountant, clutching onto his briefcase. I then had a plan.
The killer turned towards the woman, a book in hand. He smiled sinisterly and laughed at her terrified face. Luckily he was facing away from the door, I took this chance and snuck into the room. The two children gasped quietly and cried more, in joy I'm guessing. The accountant was too busy rocking back and forth and looking down to notice me. Armin looked up and smiled at me, his face all bloody and terrible.
"So your name is Mika Show, huh? Haha...HAHAHAHA! I remember you!!! Do you remember me~" The guy said. She shook her head no and the man stopped smiling. He slapped her across the face and the little girls screamed. I took this chance to tackle him and punch his face. Levi quickly got the two little girls while Eren got Armin. The man pushed me off and looked at me with murderous eyes.
"No...NO! IT'S YOU!!!" He screamed. Before I can move he got me in a chokehold. I kicked his private part but he didn't flinch. He was too angry to even notice. His grip on me got tighter and I couldn't breathe. I could see black dots surround my vision.
That's when everything came back and I could breathe again. Levi kicked the guy in the face but was only pushed back. The guy got up and he looked behind him. He started to run towards the entrance where Eren was dragging Armin out.
"Get back here! I'm not done with you yet!!!" He yelled. I tried to tackle him but he dodged me and punched me in the gut.
"OOF," I grunted and landed on the floor. I got up and kicked the guy in the back but he roundhouse kicked me in the gut again. Levi went after him but not even Levi could push this insane guy down. We both charged at him but were only pushed back. I hit my head on the floor and everything got dizzy.
"Sh(ift)..." I mumbled. Though everything was blurry I could see the guy push Eren almost out of the window. I thankfully saw his fingers on the ledge. The guy pulled the accountant by his tie and dragged Armin by the back of his shirt out the door. I tried to get up but stumbled and grunted. I could see blood drip onto the floor and a thick liquid trail down the side of my head. Levi came into my vision and I could feel him shaking me. Everything was ringing in my ears and I couldn't hear a word of what he was saying. He set me back down into the floor gently and the doctor came into view. She had a medical kit and she kneeled down and started to treat me. I could see that Levi was pulling up Eren from the ledge. I sighed in relief and felt my eyes closing.
"Don't...eyes....stay....me....!" I could faintly hear what she was saying. I couldn't help it and just let my eyes closed and then it was darkness.
----
I awoke with a groan and winced when I looked around. A pounding headache greeted me as I sat up slowly. I smelled the disinfectant and medicine around me. I was in the hospital. I looked up and Levi was leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. His eyes snapped open when he heard movement.
"(Y/n)?" He said a little surprised.
"What happened?" I instantly said. He sighed and pushed himself off the wall. He pushed me back so I was laying in the bed again. The bed rose so I was still laying down but now I was tilted up.
"Do you remember anything?" Levi asked as he took a seat next to me. I nodded.
"I can remember everything just fine. Except, I'm curious. What happened to Armin and Eren?" I asked. He clicked his tongue and turned towards me a little more.
"Don't get mad but...after the killer left, dragging an accountant and Armin with him, he got into this truck and threw the two in there. Without my consent, Eren just has to be the hero and jump into the back of the truck as well." He explained. I groaned and facepalmed.
"That stupid, determined boy. What am I going to do with him?" I sighed.
"I guess it cannot be helped. We'll have to go after him." Levi said. I nodded and started to get up when I was pushed back down again.
"Hey!" I growled at Levi.
"You need rest." He simply said and walked outside of the room. I heard him shut the door with a soft click. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"Godda(mbit)."

A/n: Sup' fangirls. I'm back with another chapter that isn't as much as a cliffhanger. I know that this is a shorter chapter but I lifted myself a bit and got to writing this chapter. Sorry for mistakes, I'm typing this on my phone again.
Anywho, it seems that the plot just got twisted again and now Eren is missing as well as Armin. Levi and (y/n) are the only ones left at the moment. What will they do next? How will they save Armin and Eren?
Eren is getting all determined again. But we all know that we secretly love the stubborn, teal-eyed boy.
Alright! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Byeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
