Annie's POV
                          
I woke up suddenly in a bad sleeping position, I looked down my stomach to see the letter still there. Looks like I was really tired from all the shit yesterday. But... I have a job to do, I can't rest now. I have to focus on saving Armin. I flipped the letter to see a location here in Trost, that's where I have to meet up I guess. 
                          
I got up to dress up in my usual white hoodie and jeans and met up with Hitch and Mikasa in the lobby of the hotel. They told me that Reiner should best stay to protect the kids due to the situation that's going on. Gabi and Falco don't like that they are being kept away from the case, since they both have a strong liking to Armin. 
                          
We three went our way to HQ to meet up with Levi and Connie. I should definitely show them the letter I got from Connor Becker so we could make up a plan to save Armin the best way possible.
                          
When we we met up with them in the room, I slammed down the letter I received from Becker. Levi took it and read it, and after a few seconds his eye's widened. He looked up at me in shock. 
                          
"Where did you get this?" Levi asked more in demanding than curiosity.
                          
"Some mailman gave it to me in my hotel room" I told everyone. Levi then handed out the letter to everyone else to read it, all of them were shocked at more at the opportunity they've been given to save him. 
                          
"Alright, this is good. We can go to this location now and rescue him" Connie exclaimed. 
                          
"No, this location is definitely not where they're keeping Armin. You wouldn't give out a location to a stranger of someone incredibly valuable like that." Levi stated. 
                          
"Yeah, I guess the only good plan we have is for me to work for them, they said that we will transport him somewhere in Stohess so you can intercept them there. But, I don't know where in Stohess." I planned out and everyone else nodded in agreement.
                          
"Well, I guess that's the plan. We're counting on you, Annie. We'll try to look for more leads. If you get that location, find a way to send it to us" Captain Levi said before heading out.
                          
I nodded and headed to the location pointed out in the letter not until Hitch and Mikasa wished me a good luck and I smiled back. Ugh please don't fuck up Annie, they're all counting on you.
                          
I got to the location that was in an alley between two small buildings. There was a man smoking in the alley and threw out the cigarette to the ground to step on it as he saw me. He leaned on the wall and pulled out a black bag. 
                          
"You Annie Leonhart?" The man asked and I nodded. 
                          
"Well, to do this the safe way you have to put on this mask to not know where were keeping him. No offense but we don't trust you yet." The man coldly said and walked up to me. 
                          
"Yeah I get it, c'mon let's get this over with" I rolled my eyes and  crossed my arms. 
                          
The man then put the black bag on my face, it had very small holes for breathing, but I couldn't see anything. I felt as if I was put on a car and then drove off. It felt like half an hour until we stopped and the man held me and guided me inside a building. He then took off the bag of my face when there was a man with a black trench coat. 
                          
"Annie Leonhart, I'm am so pleased to finally meet you" The man pulled out his hand to me and I shook it. 
                          
"Oh right... sorry, I am Connor Becker, from the letter. I'm sorry for the way you've been transported here, but you know... trusting people nowadays." He laughed out as I furrowed my brows in anger at the mention of his name. This is Connor Becker huh? I quickly turned my angry expression to a straight one as he guided me to somewhere else.
