Chapter 9 - Return (1/2)

A week had passed since the incident. Besides some minor injuries, no one was killed except for the kidnappers. Karl, Dr. Yeager, and his son became witnesses for the investigation. After a few days, it was concluded that these men were responsible for the kidnapping of 3 other families and 4 murder cases.

---------------------------------

”It's been a week, Grisha. Have you got any news about the boy?” Karl asked a tall man with glasses beside him.

”No, there's no trace of him at all. The MP isn't taking this too seriously. God... these people are corrupted to the core. I bet some of their higher-ups are the root of these kidnapping events.”

”Haiz... we were just about to adopt him to the family. Who knows such a thing would happen. Goddamn it, I wish I could have killed them all myself.”

”How about we try searching in the city? Maybe the boy is somewhere there.”

”L-l-let me go too!” Mikasa suddenly exclaimed out from behind the wall which surprised Karl.

”No. I got this myself. You will stay here with your mom, is that okay Mikasa?”

”NO!” Karl was suddenly taken aback. Mikasa was usually a shy girl, rarely has she ever been this brave.

The man named Grisha looked at their conversation for a while before sighing. ”How about you all go live with my family for a while. Would that be alright with you Mikasa.” The man then smiled warmly at the young girl after suggesting her with his idea.

Feeling like someone is on her side, she decided to take a chance and nodded quickly.

”It seems like she agreed, it's alright Karl. We can just think of this as a vacation and tour around the city for a while.” Mikan, who was in the kitchen cooking up some breakfast, finally spoke up.
