"This isn't over." Armin sighed, bandaging Erwin's eye.

Erwin snickered, "Clearly not. We should've left with Kenny to the island."

Armin flicked Erwin's forehead as he finished dressing the wound. "We owe it to Levi for losing Eren. I hope he doesn't beat our asses for letting him get loose."

"I hope he doesn't kick outer asses for letting Carla get shot!" Erwin exasperated.

Carla was in stable condition last they heard from Kenny, but Levi would still be pissed to hear she got hurt. The one person Levi bent backward for, besides Eren, is the last person you'd want to harm.

"Well, we know he's going to jail," Amrin stated matter-of-factly. "Let's plan on how to get him out."

Erwin snorted, "Ooh, look! It's jailbreak Armin!" Armin kicked his leg. "We're two teenagers, you idiot! What can we do?"

Armin pulled out his phone and dialed some of the criminals Levi introduced him to. Armin could do a lot behind a screen, especially with Hange's notes and USB flash drives. He had a bag he kept with him at all times. Those papers and flash drives were a hacker's goldmine.

Hange's crew cackled, watching Levi get drug away. Holly rolled her eyes at them as she continued typing away at her computer. Hange watched and noticed how Levi smiled in the handcuffs, and an uneasy feeling came over her.

"Holly," Hange called, getting her friend's attention, "can you keep a watch on Levi's prison?"

"Sure! Do you need cameras, records, security alerts—?"

Hange thought for a moment, "I need all of that. I can't let Levi slip out of there, and something in my gut tells me he's gonna try."

Holly nodded and got to work breaking into Levi's penitentiary. She managed to get everything, even the prison schedule. Berthold and Reiner raised a brow at her.

Connie wondered, "You think he'll try to escape?"

"No, I know he'll try."

As Levi entered the prison, he was greeted by old friends. About half of the prisoners joked about him finally being caught, but one prisoner knew.

"That boy ain't staying here! He'll get out!"

Levi grinned at that and nodded his head in their direction. The guard took him to his rickety cell, pairing him with a face he never wanted to see again.

"What are the chances I'd get roomed with you?" Levi sneered. "Chester Vito."

The disgusting man hitched his breath hearing Levi's deep, intimidating voice. His arm was still bandaged from Levi scalding his arm, and he was still terrified of the shorter boy.

"Y-You? How did you get caught?" Chester stuttered, peering from the bottom bunk.

"I could ask you the same thing." Levi looked around the cell. "This place is filthy."

The raven dropped his mattress on the bed frame. He shifted his uncomfortable prison uniform, trying to look somewhat decent. Chester hid back in the bottom bunk to hide from Levi's view. The teen brushed it off.

"They put me on trial as an adult, and I went ahead and pled guilty. Eren's gone."

Chester recalled, "Yeah, heard the group of victims were at Maria Hospital. I thought you two were together."

"We are." Levi shot, slamming his hand against the bunk frame.

"Then why is he running from you?"

Levi paused, trying to stay composed, "Because he's been brainwashed. He'll get used to it, whether I have to give him another concussion or keep him cuffed to a chair."

As the raven hopped up on the top bunk, Chester wondered, "How are you going to get him from in here?"

"By, first, getting out." The raven paused. "And I'm gonna need everyone's help, including yours."

Chester peered from his hole with a confused look. Levi scoffed at him, "You still better stay away from Eren, but we can't make a temporary alliance to get out. After that, you better disappear."

The man raised his brows but nodded quickly. He knew better than to say no to Levi. That teen had about half of the prisoners there in the palm of his hand, and some of them owed him either money, information, or their life. Any of them were prepared to cause a riot to get him out.

Levi commanded, "When able, spread this to my followers: Find a breach."
