Edward walked into the hotel room, carrying a package in his arms. It was small, but it excited Alphonse. They hardly got gifts from anyone.
"Brother!" Al exclaimed with excitement. "What's in the package? Who is it from?"
"Slow down, Al", said Ed, with a grin. "I barely got through the door. And to answer your questions, I have no idea what it is or who sent it."
"Well, hurry up and open it, slow poke!" the suit of armor was almost jumping up and down with the newfound excitement a small package gave him.
"Jeez Al, I'm going to."
Edward ripped open the paper wrapping, and inside were two boxes. One addressed to Al, and the other one to Ed. They both took their boxes and ripped them open.
Inside Ed's was a small figurine. Almost like an action figure. The interesting thing about it was that it looked just like him. It was such an intricate little doll, that it even had every little detail about him on it-from his gold eyes, down to every last screw on his automail. Inside Al's was something similar. It was an action figure that looked exactly like him-blood seal and all.
"Nowhere on any part of the package does it tell who it's from", Ed blurted out. "Maybe someone's stalking us..." He shuddered.
"Brother, you're such an idiot sometimes! It's probably a gift from Winry. Or maybe someone from the military was playing a prank on us. It seems like something Havoc would do."
"Don't call your older brother an idiot!" Ed yelled at Al.
Suddenly, a phone call interrupted their argument. Ed dashed for it. "Hello", he said. Al could faintly hear a voice on the other end, and Ed's eyes went wide. "Yeah, we got it", he told the person he was talking to. "Wait-who is this?" Ed yelled into the phone, before he shook his head and hung up.
"Who was it? What did they want?" Al asked.
"I don't know", Ed replied. "They wanted to know if we got the package, and the things inside of it. They hung up before they could tell me who they were." He looked very worried.
Al burst into laughter. "Ed, I can't believe you fell for one of Havoc's stupid pranks. You actually look worried."
Ed's face turned red and he retorted, "Al, I don't think this is a prank. I think we should get rid of those action figures. They could have hidden cameras in them, or they could be coated with poison."
Al laughed harder, and Ed sighed and left to go to bed. Once Ed was gone, Al went up to the action figure shaped like him, and studied it closely. It didn't seem dangerous. It just looked like an ordinary toy. Ed was overreacting. This thing could hardly be dangerous. One of these could easily be made with alchemy, couldn't it? He shook his head to clear his mind, and went also went to bed.
When he entered the room, he seen that the window was wide open, and Ed was nowhere to be seen. "Ed?" he called, and when there was no answer, he switched on the light. What he saw made him gasp, and back up a few steps.
On the floor, there was a cloth, soaked with, most likely, chloroform. There was a pool of blood on the bed, and even more on the floor. The lamp was smashed, and the bed's covers were messed up. Obviously, there had been a fight, and someone had gotten hurt enough to bleed very much. There was a note on the dresser, and Al, worriedly, read it out loud to himself.
It read, 'Edward has been kidnapped, and if you wish to check up on how he's feeling, why don't you take a peek at that doll you received in the mail? Sincerely, The Doll Maker Alchemist.'
Al placed the note where he found it, and ran to the action figure his brother had left on the floor. There was a cut on its forehead, and red lines were coming down from it, as if they representing blood or something. It had a bullet hole, or some kind of hole in its shoulder, and its thigh had a stab wound deep in it, with a toy knife still intact. Was this real, or was someone playing a sick prank on them that had gone way too far?
"Get started on your damn paperwork already", ordered Riza, as Mustang stood at the window, gazing at the scenery outside. He would go to extreme lengths to get out of having to work on the paperwork that had built up on his desk throughout the day.
"Alright, alright!" complained Roy. "It's not like it's going to run away or anything. It's just paperwork. There'll always be time to do it later!"
Riza took out her gun and pointed it at his head. "I'll work! I'll work!" said Mustang, as he began to furiously sign the papers.
Suddenly the phone rang, and Roy dove for it, in order to avoid having to work on the paperwork, even if for just a second or so.
"Colonel Mustang? It's Al. Something terrible has happened. I need you to come to our hotel room immediately", Al was hysterical and he was making sobbing noises, even though he was unable to cry because he was a suit of armor.
"Alphonse! Tell me exactly what happened! Where's Fullmetal?"
"Ed's been kidnapped", Al sobbed. "Please Colonel! I think he's hurt."
Roy hung up the phone, and slapped a hand to his forehead. "Sir, what's wrong?" Riza asked.
"Fullmetal has been kidnapped, and Alphonse thinks that he's been harmed. We must go investigate as soon as possible."
Riza went pale. "Y-yes sir!" she said.
