Author's Note: So, here I go with my first fanfiction. Keep in mind that I'm still fiddling around with styles and such, and that the wording of a few sentences may be awkward or confusing at times. Overall, just be nice. And I would really, really, really LOVE constructive criticism, even more than people just saying "OMG greatest story ever, you're so awesome" and stuff like that. Although if you manage to acknowledge my koolioness among constructive criticism, that'd be nice, too. (wink wink) NO FLAMES[End author's note
"Okay, so, let me get this straight. You actually want me to go investigate a murder case?" Edward stared at his superior officer in disbelief, wondering how much more utterly random missions Roy Mustang could assign for him.
"Yes, Fullmetal, you heard correctly. But it's not just one murder, it's several, numbering in the hundreds."
"You don't have to remind me to chase Scar, he finds me."
"Funny, but its not Scar. Not a single one of the victims were alchemists. Only ordinary civilians, men, women, children."
Ed sighed, rolling his eyes, "So you expect me to magically transform into a detective and go chasing some sicko?"
"Yes, Fullmetal, that's exactly what I'm saying."
"Right, so, where am I supposed to start looking? In Psycoland?"
"Hardy har har, no, actually, it seems most of the killings have taken place mainly in rural places. But the most recent one was here in Central, so I suggest you start searching for suspicious people around here."
Edward stormed out of the office, giving the Flame Alchemist a glare and a one-fingered salute as he left, slamming the door behind him.
