"Havoc, Brenda, Farman and Fuery. Into my office this instant." Roy said in a surprisingly serious tone. "Lieutenant Hawkeye, into my office now." Everybody was slightly surprised as the colonel never called for a meeting. They all had their chances at guessing the aim of this meeting, until….
"Lieutenant Hawkeye, as your commanding officer, I now command you to marry me."
Roy stated in a dead serious tone.
The room instantly fell into a deadly silence. The atmosphere was tense. A killer aura was all over Riza. Time seemed to have stopped ticking away. Click. All of them didn't even had to look up to see that Riza was going to shoot the colonel. Although it had occurred many times, she didn't actually pull the trigger. But, this time was different.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The sounds of the three shots could still be heard as everybody was as quiet as a mouse. Roy had evaded all three bullets that threatened to kill him if he was not quick enough. Riza really is serious. This time.
"If any word about 'this' spreads out, I'll make sure that your heads come off. And stay off." Cold, expressionless eyes scanned the room. Well, if looks could really kill, Roy would have been a dead man by now.
Though, unbeknownst to them, Hughes had stopped by to visit Roy. He was just in time to hear Roy proposing to the lieutenant. He had been there the whole time, and he was so quiet that no one noticed him leaving. With a camera in his hands, which in turn contained the pictures he snapped throughout the whole incident. OH, HAPPY LIL' ME.
Cough "I believe that we all have our own work to finish." Riza stated as a matter of factly. With that, Roy and the others let out their breath that they didn't even know they were holding. Time seemed to have ticking as soon as Riza put back her gun.
The day had passed by very quickly. After work, Hughes invited Roy to a drink.
Glancing at his watch, Roy stated "It's only 5.45 in the afternoon. Isn't it too early for a drink?" 5.45 pm? Time sure passes by quickly..
"It's never too early for anything." But it was pretty early for a marriage…
"Yeah. Then, what are we waiting for?" I really need that Vodka now.
After 20 minutes of driving, they reached the all too familiar bar. Hughes and Roy had met in this bar. They were frequent customers. They still are. Probably.
"One brandy and one Vodka, please?" Vodka, hope that soothes my headache now.
"So, I hear that there's gonna be a wedding soon. In the military, I mean." Marriage.. it all depends on the girl's answer.
"Oh really? Who are they?" Marriage…………!
"I believe you must know best. Its your underlings." More precisely, you and Riza.
"Oh…" Underlings………
"How'd the lieutenant respond to your question?" JACKPOT.
"She shot me. Three times, near the heart and the head." That was a narrow escape. Wait, I just confessed that…! I'm in deep shit now.
