A dim light fluttered across his face, causing him to raise a hand in response to it. He didn't want to wake up; the dream he had been having was too beautiful. The cherry blossoms and the Tsubaki flowers were just so sublime. The valor of the memorial of the ones who died in the senseless attack on the city was all there was to be expected when it came to living in Central. He rose slowly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, and got up to yawn. This part of town was usually quiet on this type of day, so he had cataloged every animal, looked at every document and still had time to spare. He walked to the door of the Vet medical clinic and stood. It was raining. Looking through the glass door, he saw the busy streets, cars honking at one another and dogs barked. They had no idea what had happened five years ago. When he, the Elric brothers, their teacher, and a few other people fought with the Homunculi and their "Father" for the protection of over 10,000 lives.
Within the five years, he'd given up becoming the Führer. He really didn't care for the military anymore and Edward was off in the west while the other one Al was going to the east. They were off doing something. The clicking of heels caught his attention and he looked to his left to see Hawkeye coming his way. She was still her usual self, hair clipped up off her navy blue uniform and was accompanied by Havoc.
"Good Evening Sir." Hawkeye said. Havoc held up his hand and smiled, "Yo Roy. How ya doing?"
Roy smiled and walked into the Veterinarian clinic and they followed. He sat behind his desk and pulled out a chart of a small cat that was brought in by a boy. "How's life treating you two?" Roy asked. Havoc sat down in the chair across the way from Roy and began to spark up one of his cancer sticks and Roy gave him the evil eye.
"If you dare ash any of that in my Clinic I will have your head." he growled. Havoc stopped midway between lighting up and he put his lighter away. Hawkeye cleared her throat and said something Roy hadn't expected to hear in a million years.
"Full Metal has been kidnapped Sir."
"What?"
"That damned Roy Mustang! He has made a mockery of me for the last time!" Growled a man. Ed sat in the corner, his eyes covered by a thick black scarf and his hands bound behind his back. He'd been in this situation many times before, however this one was the most dangerous... He was no longer an Alchimest, meaning he was utterly defensless when it came to this. He'd been sleeping on the train he'd been on like he did when he was younger, but now he was twenty years of age and he needed to be more alert.
The guy whp'd snatched him was talking about Mustang. How did he know him in the first place?
"YOU SHORTIE! Where Is ROY MUSTANG?!"
"WHO YOU CALLIN A MICROSCOPIC PENUT WHO'S SMALLER THAN AN AMEBIA WHO'S CANT ANSWER THE PHONE BECAUSE IT'S UP ON THE COUNTER BECAUSE HE'S TOO SHORT TO REACH IT UP THERE?"
"We need you back in the feild Colonel. The kidnapper has requested you spesefically and will not change his demands until he hears from you." Havoc said his face grim; a completely different look from his usual happy go lucky self. It was rather disturbing. Roy put down the chart and rubbed the bridge of his nose. A flash of blond hair in a brain displayed behind his closed lids, natural golden eye and a smile bigger than life itself showed. Edward Elric.
"Has anyone notified Al Elric? Or tried to get himto speak to anyone else?" Roy asked. Hawkeye shook her head and Havoc's phone began to ring. He answered it.
"Hello? Yes. What? When? What news station? Ok. Ok. If the Rockbell girl calls, give her this number." there was a breif pause, "Understood. Right. We're talking to him. No, we can handle this. Thanks." with that his clicked his phone shut and looked at Roy. "Turn to channel seven."
Roy clicked on the television and turned the volume up on a news story that was currently playing.
"That's right Brian. And now in other news, A tewnty year old former State Alchemist named Edward Elric was reported missing this afternoon by his fellow journalist. Not only that, the kidnapper that supposedly says he has Elric under his watch and is demanding for a retired Colonel Named Roy Mustang who currently cares for animals in a small Vet Clinic."
"That's just tragic Dianan in other news..."
Roy clicked off the television and looked back at Hawkeye.
"I trust... you have my uniform ready for me Hawkeye." he said without turning around.
"That and your gloves... Colonel."
"Good. Because once you call out a Ghost that's bee dead for a while, its bones aren't so kind." Roy growled.
