Teaser Chapter 1:

The Bet

"It just happened one day, I guess…" Havoc said, "All of a sudden Ed can stand being in the same room as Roy."

"That's weird…how do you think it happened?" Fury asked.

"I don't know…" Havoc said thoughtfully, "What I do know is one way we can find out."

"And what would that be?" Fury asked. As soon as the words fell out of his mouth Havoc had a mischievous grin on his face.

"Why a bet of course!"

"A bet?" Fury paused to think, brushing a piece of hair from his face, "and what exactly are we betting on?"

"Uh well nothing specific…" Havoc stopped to grab for a cigarette from his pack and put together his newborn plan. "I know! We'll each think up one plausible reason Ed can suddenly stand Mustang. After said reasons are placed as bets, we go on a covert mission to figure it out. Then, when one of us does find what's changed, we compare our bets to the reason and whoever was closet gets the sum." Smiling and giving himself a mental pat on the back. "I'm so damn smart…" Havoc grabbed his matchbox and lit up his cigarette while Fury thought the suggestion over.

"Yeah…I guess that would work. Except…"

"Except what?!" Havoc shouted, "I am smart dammit…"

"No no…it is a good idea, it's just that if we were to get everyone in the bet…it would be easier to find out what changed…and more ideas would make it fun.."

"Oh…I see…" Havoc said, "and…the more people that are in the bet…the more…"

"Money we can get out of it!" Both men said in unison.

Fury grabbed a notebook out of his front pocket, while havoc provided a pen.

"Okay the first thing we need to do is figure out who all we're going to invite into the bet…" Fury said, noting Bet Holders on the top line of his paper.

"Okay, well the first person is going to be Hughes of course…" Havoc began.

"Are you sure?" Fury asked, "he's too good at this stuff…he'd wait until we got everyone in this and then come back with his bet, the answer – and of course it'd be correct, and take all the money!" Fury hovered the pen over the paper as Havoc thought it out, taking a drag off his cigarette.

"Okay you're right, Hughes is out…and then he can't know of it, because he'd tip Mustang off if he knew and that would ruin everything."

"Right. Okay, so who else?" Fury asked, "What about Armstrong? He's got a nice sum of money in the bank…"

"Yeah, good one. Jot him down." Havoc watched as Fury wrote the name Alex Armstrong down on the paper.

Okay, we'll get him in on it…now who else?"
