(Annie's POV)

I agreed to do a sort of top secret infiltration mission for a shady dude wearing a suit. I was supposed to infiltrate my dad's house and steal titan serums for him. Why? Because I was promised to be cured of this titan crap and be free to live however I please.

I informed the shady businessman guy that I will start the mission on Friday, as I had lots of exams I needed to study for. The guy in black agreed immediately, and didn't have a problem with it. I was actually surprised by this.

Friday arrived and the end of the school day was the time I'd meet with the goons of the man, who I still didn't even get his name.

I was at my locker taking the books and stuff out of it and placing them in my bag. That's when my eyes laid on a folded paper on one of my books that were still in the locker. I unfolded the piece of paper and read it.

"Why is our relationship on the down low these past few months? We talk less and less to one another with every passing day. You've been silent these past few days. I don't know why you're still avoiding me, but I want to let you know that whatever you are planning to do and whatever secrets you're trying to hide, I'm comfortable with it and I will always stand by your side and support you 'til the very end.

Yours Truly,
Eren."

My heart started to beat very quickly as soon as I finished reading the piece of paper. A smile was drew on my face. I immediately folded the piece of paper and placed it in my pocket right after closing the locker and heading out.

"AAAANNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE"

The screams of a certain girl made me jolt and instantly look behind me, ready to punch. It was Sasha. A girl in our school famous for loving food and being very athletic at the same time. Her and I are close friends.

"Hey... Sasha..." I said, holding back my crave to punch her.

"Annie! How long has it been?! Months? Years?!" Sasha asked right before opening her arms and waiting for a hug.

"It's been days Sasha, days. Barely days, even."

"Aww come on! At least give your sister a hug!"

"Sister?"

"Yea! I see you as my sister."

"Oh man. What did I get myself into?"

I hugged her, considering that I don't want to make her sad. The entire school is in complete shock seeing as how Sasha, of all people can be friends with me.

"Aww. Here's the Annie I know and love!" She exclaimed happily. After we broke the hug she asked "What are you planning this weekend?"

"I'm busy. I'm gonna go see my dad."

"Oh yea? Well have fun! And tell me what happens, ok?"

"Yea sure."

Suddenly her phone rang. She pulled out the phone and saw that the contact was a boy named "Erik"
She immediately looked at me and pointed her thumb in the direction away from me and left while waving her hand and answering the call.

I made my way out of the school and headed home. Along the way I got a text from the shady man who I named him 'Gamer' on my phone because I was bored.

Gamer: Hey Annie.

Me: Yes?

Gamer: Ready?

Me: Yes.

Gamer: Sorry but we will start the operation at the afternoon. Exactly at 8:20 PM.

Me: Fine by me.

Gamer: Acknowledged. I will contact you when my men are ready to take you.

Me: Alright.

I made my way to my house and threw my backpack in the living room. Then I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. Drank half of it in one go and then placed it on the island.

I then got a call from Sasha herself.

"Hey Annie! I didn't get to ask this but... where does your father live?"

"What? Why?" I asked out of confusion.

"Because I wanna know how long you're taking to get back!" She stated.

"Yea umm... I'm taking a day or two at max. Maybe more I'm not sure."

"Okay... talk to you later then!"

"Alright." I hung up the line and ran to the living room, jumped midair and landed face first on the couch.

Time flew by as I was sleeping on the couch. I was suddenly woken up by the ringtone blasting out of my phone at full volume.

"Yea Yea. I'm ready." I answered.

"Alright. Meet my men outside."

I got off the couch and went to the bathroom first and readied myself. Then I went outside and headed inside the car.

I was driven to the airport, same like last time. And I was taken to the same jet as before. As I entered I was greeted by the same dude who called me, sitting in his seat. He pointed at the seat across from him, telling me to sit.

(A/N): HAHAHAHAHA! I found this today and this is exactly how everything I described! Except for the time of day. And the lady... and the red carpet.

"So Annie. Are you ready?"

"Yes." I replied emotionlessly.

"Feeling nervous? Scared? Angry?"

"No."

"Good."

That's when I heard the jet's engines starting. I looked outside and saw the jet itself moving towards the runway.

"Where are we going?!" I asked, shocked and confused.

"What? You don't know your father moved to Ukraine?"

I became puzzled. I didn't reply and just looked out the window and watched as the plane took off.

"Annie, buckle up." The guy said.

"Oh! Yea, right."

I buckled up and looked at the guy. He also was looking outside the window.

"I didn't even get to know your name." I said, instantly grabbing his attention.

"And why do you wanna know my name?" He asked.

"I'm dealing with someone who wants me to travel outside of the states and go to my father's house—which is in UKRAINE by the way—and steal a box or two full of titan serum, and I don't even get to know that someone's name?" I explained.

He chuckled lightly. "Fine."

"My name is Jad. That's all you need to know. That's my real, true first name."

"Fine by me. That's a start!" I exclaimed. He chuckled again.

A few hours later, mid flight, Jad told me we will land in the UK to refuel the plane. I didn't mind since I was enjoying a nice VIP catering.

"Enjoying the food?" Jad asked.

"It's amazing."

"Well. I'm glad you like it." He said in a nervous tone with his voice breaking.

"What do you mean? What's wrong?" I asked, confused.

"I'm kinda having doubts about this mission. What if he did something to you? Hurt you, drugged you, or anything?"

"Oh so you care about me?" I asked.

"Who me? Well I-I um... I just don't want you to die, that's all." He stated. He then looked back out the window.

I looked at him and realized he was lying. He did care about me. Just from that sentence alone I realized it. Somehow he no longer feels menacing, shady and evil, but seemed to me like a regular person.

"GoldEagle!" Jad shouted behind him.

"Yes sir." GoldEagle responded.

"Get me the undercover operative loadout! Right now!"

GoldEagle then arrived, holding a briefcase. He placed it in front of me and opened it. Then he left.
I looked inside the briefcase with bewilderment as my gaze laid on the gadgets on it. I was going to become a spy. A secret agent. An undercover operative! With my own loadout!

"What you see in front of you is the latest cutting edge undercover operative technology. First, this watch in front of you is a high tech smart watch that can scan any object in front of it discreetly and quickly. It also can pass through any search lasers and scanners and go undetected. It can be used as a location beacon and has a hacking software that can hack either analog or digital devices. Just press the button on the right side of the watch, a cable will stick out, change the connector and plug it in to whatever device you want to hack and I'll walk you through it."

"Next up we have the micro headset device. Take it and plug it into whichever ear you prefer. It can make me contact you without the need to worry about getting caught. It transmits the signal to the ear and the ear alone. No one will hear you talking to me. But we will hear them."

"Here, this big thing in front of you is a taser gun. Highly modified to be discreet. Just don't go using it willy nilly. It's discreet, not silent. It can also fire electric projectile rounds that will knock targets out cold if fired in the right place. But be warned. You can kill a guy if you're not careful."

"A utility belt. Useful for storing any kind of small item that you don't want on your person at all times. With a single press, a slot will open and you can put in it whatever you desire."

"Black Leather Gloves. They're just black leather gloves."

Arriving at the UK I took my time to get ready by setting up all the devices and testing them. I was equipped with a bulletproof vest just in case anything happens. Once the jet was to take off, I was ready to put an end to my father's schemes.

Arriving at Ukraine, Jad told me what to do once I get to the house. He told me to behave normally and  try to sound very serious about this ruse I was to tell my dad. He really was scared for my life, but he knew deep down I can do it.

I got off the jet and into a car that was modeled after a taxi. The two goons, who wore civilian clothes, drove me for a long time. So long I lost track. In that time I was enjoying listening to music and thinking about Eren.

Never have I ever thought that I would be on a secret spy mission, and thinking about a boy along the way.

The closer we got to the destination the more scared I wouldn't see Eren again I felt. The only think I could think of was Eren and how much I was scared. I was starting to regret avoiding Eren for the past few days and maybe even month.

Once I arrived to the destination, which was a mansion. The gates had the letters LH on them, meaning I was in the right location.

"Way to be inconspicuous, dad."

"Ms. Leonhart. Come in." An agent spoke to me on the earpiece.

"Yes?"

"I'm Walrus. I'm the interpreter. I'll tell you everything to say in Russian."

"Walrus, not to be rude, but... I know Russian and Ukrainian."

"Copy that."

I pressed the speaker button and awaited a response.

"Привет" A lady said hello from the speaker.

"Я здесь, чтобы увидеть Мистера Leonhart." I said I'm here to see Mr. Leonhart.

"И кого мне ему сказать?" She said who should she tell him.

"Его дочь" I told her his daughter.

"Хорошо. Я открою ворота. Заходите." She opened the gates like she said she would.

I got inside the gate and headed towards the front door. As I passed the garage I saw two fancy sports cars. One was a Ferrari, the other a Lamborghini.

"My dad sure loves his ego."

As soon as I reached the door, it opened. And my gaze met with that of the disgusting troll who is my dad.

"Annie! My sweetheart! Come give your dad a hug!"

I hugged my farther and forced myself not to puke. He pulled me inside and closed the door behind him.

"Come! Come! Follow me! Christina! Приготовить лимонад!" He told the girl to prepare some lemonade.

We sat, with me trying not to sound so fake with my conversation. When Christina brought the lemonade, she placed it on the coffee table and left.

"Annie. How did you find me?" My dad asked, sounding very impressed and not a little bit skeptical or anything that shows how worried or uncomfortable he should be.

"My mom told me." I replied casually, with one of the many lies I had the time to carefully fabricate.

"Ah Yes. Your mother. A very smart, cunning, smart and most of all... beautiful. But why did she tell you? Why did you want to come here?"

"Because... I made up my mind."

The look on my dad was priceless. I could tell he knew what I was about to say. I really didn't want to say it, knowing what would happen to me. But since it was all a big lie, I knew I could do it.

"I want to join you. Turn me into a professional... Titan-Shifter."

My dad jumped out of the couch and laughed out loud like a man winning the lottery.

"HAHAHA!!! YES! Finally! My daughter, you and I are going to achieve the impossible!"

"I... can't wait."

"Come with me! I've got lots to show you!"

I got up and followed him. As we walked he kept talking about how great I am and how proud he was that I am doing the right decision. I could stomach this situation for so long. I was going to break soon, but I held it together.

Finally we arrived at his office. He opened the door and walked me inside. There I found what seemed to be a normal office, with a fancy desk and some decorations around. He had a bookshelf where lots of books from different genres and authors were on display. When he got inside the office, he immediately went towards the shelf, pushed some books aside and opened a small vault that is embedded inside a wall. He pulled out of it a small cube box.

"Come here, Annie." He said as he walked towards his desk. "I want to show you what the future will be like."

I walked towards the desk and watched as he opened the box, revealing a number of syringes each containing the titan serum itself.

Suddenly the phone in front of the desk started to ring. My dad immediately went to answer the call right in front of me.

"Hello? Oh yes! Adrian! Hi! Listen. I've got someone here you'd love to meet. Come."

"Who's Adrian?" I asked after he finished the call.

"He's my... assistant, in a way. I can't wait to introduce you to him." He replied. "Now come. Follow me."

We went outside his office and back to the living room. There he kept talking about how his ambitions will shape the world and would make life ever so better. I believe that better is only in his case. But for the rest of the world, it would be hell on earth.

"Hello?" A voice of a guy said, announcing his arrival. My father and I got up and looked at the person.

"Adrian! Oh, you're here." My dad said. Adrian then walked towards us waving his hand.

"Adrain, this is Annie, my daughter. Annie, this is Adrian."

"Hi." Adrian said.

He was a handsome white boy with silver blonde hair and blue eyes. His face gave the look of a fuckboy, which I assumed he is. He was taller than Eren, but only by a few inches. His body was ripped and muscular. I wouldn't be lying when I say that he did look a little cute.

"Nice to meet you." I said.

"Likewise." His eyes didn't drift away from me. His gaze always focused on mine.

"Now. You two get to know each other. I have to do some business. Annie, come find me in an hour or two."

"So. You're Mr. Leonhart's daughter? He didn't tell me about you." Adrian stated.

"I liked it that way." I replied.

"I'm sorry if you didn't want to meet under these circumstances, or at all." He said. I felt a genuine sadness in his voice.

"Oh, no. It's not about you. It's me. I... wasn't on good terms with my father." I replied.

"Hm... I feel you. I'm not on good terms with my mother either. My dad left us and my mom took care of me alone. That is until I met your father."

"Oh yea?"

"Exactly. He's my... mentor, you could say. A good father figure."

"Alright..."

"So why are you here?" Adrian asked.

"Hm?"

"I mean... what brought you to Ukraine?"

"What brought you to Ukraine? You neither look nor sound Ukrainian. And your name doesn't scream so either."

He chuckled. And rather cutely I might say. "Your father and I came here on business. What about you?"

"I guess you could say business as well."

"No fatherly love?"

"I can't quite say myself."

"And uh... how long are you staying here?"

"I can't quite say that either. I'm not sure."

"Enough for me to take you out for dinner?"

Taken back by his question that came out of the blue I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"From the US to here. You must be tired and hungry."

That's when Jad butted in to the conversation.
"Play along, Annie. Play along!"

"Hm... Alright."
