It was a dreary night in the city of Central. The rain fell as if the Gods above were crying for what was to come. Streetlamps flickered, mice scattered, and nobody wanted to be out on a night like this. The thunder rumble in anger, warning everyone. A scream pierced the night from an even darker alley. The body of a woman with blonde hair, brown eyes and a military uniform lay still on the pavement before a young girl in black clothes. She had dark aqua hair, and the purple eyes of a murderer, a homunculus, with the symbol just below her right eye. But she didn't kill the girl. Not yet. She tied up the unconscious Riza Hawkeye and took her back to her apartment. Her plan was now in effect. She, the newest homunculi that consisted of each sin blended into one, Echo, would take over Riza's position in the military just as Pride had said. The hours passed and it was now time to enroll into that position. Greed would take care of Riza when she wasn't around. And with that, she headed to HQ.

Meanwhile, a sigh escaped from Mika, a hard worker in the military for about 5 years. As she walked down the hall with a few files in her arms, she sighed. "Last time I'm staying here all night and working." She muttered. She had brown colored hair that she wore in a braid and light blue colored eyes. She was dressed in the military uniform, but was one of the few that wore a skirt rather than the pants.

Echo walked down the hall in her military uniform that consisted of a skirt as well. She accidentally bumped into Mika, who dropped all her files and papers, since she was reading as she walked. "Oof. Hey, watch it!" An announcement came over the loud speaker. "Echo and Mika, please report to Roy Mustang's office." Echo smiled and started walking. She had been waiting for this moment since she came into existence. "You watch it." She said in a low voice as she watched Echo walk down the hall. Hearing the announcement she sighed and knelt down to pick up the files. She then stood and walked to Roy's office. Roy sat his desk. Nobody else was in the room except him, Echo, and Mika. "Good morning, ladies. Please take a seat if you wish." Echo sat on Roy's desk and smiled. Roy just shrugged it off. Mika walked over and placed some papers on his desk. "Here are some files you wanted yesterday…" She then stepped back and stood, instead of sitting. Roy nodded thanks.

"I'm not sure if you've heard, but Riza Hawkeye has been missing since last night."

Echo gasped and spoke up. "That's terrible! What happened?"

"Well, we're not sure. We have search parties going out, but, in the mean time, the Fuhrer has asked me to accept you, Echo, as my first lieutenant, and you, Mika, as my second. Your jobs will be to help me with investigation and whatnot."

Echo smiled. "I'm very pleased, and honored. I will accept."

Mika nodded. "Very well, then. Is there anything you need right now then?"

Roy nodded once again and sighed. "Well, I'm not sure at the moment." He shuffled through some papers. "Could you two take these files and copy them for me?"

Echo nodded and took them, smiling at Roy cutely, then at Mika as more of a smirk. Mika glared a bit at her. "I have to go put the rest of these files I have away." she said turning to walk out the door. Echo followed her.

"What's wrooong?"

"Nothing's wrong." She then said as she left the room and started to walk down the hall.

Echo giggled. "You don't like me. You really shouldn't make it obvious. Ever hear the phrase 'looks can kill'?" She smirked and went to the copy room.

"Bite me..." She muttered as she went to another room to set the rest of the files on a desk. She then sighed and rubbed her eyes a bit. The Fuhrer then walked into the same room.

"Thank you, Mika. You're doing a very good job here." He smiled.

"I'd do better if I didn't have to stay up all night." she sighed. She then looked at him. "I heard Riza has gone missing..."

His face turned serious. "Yes. This is rather peculiar because she's one of our strongest. Whoever, or whatever, has her must be very strong. Be on guard."

"I certainly will be, Fuhrer Bradley."

He nodded. "Please take care of Roy and Echo." He then walked out into the hallway. Echo poked her head in.

"There you are! Have you finished yet? Everything's copied. I'm heading back to Roy's."

Mika watched him and then looked at me. "Yes, I'm finished." She muttered and sighed. "Fine, go. I'll be back there in a minute."

Echo nodded and skipped off to Roy's office. Since nobody else was in the room, she decided that she was going to have a little bit of fun with Roy. "Hey, Royyy?" She asked innocently as she opened the door to his office. He looked up at her. "What is it?" She walked over to him slowly and got close to his face. "I think you're adorable." She whispered. Roy sat there stunned for a moment. Echo giggled and put her mouth next to his ear. "I could just eat. You. Up." She nibbled on his earlobe for a moment. His body tensed under her as she sat on his lap. She let go of his ear and pecked him on the lips. His response was to instantly grab her upper arms and lay a passionate one. They kissed for a bit and somehow her arms were freed and were now entangled in his gorgeous jet black hair. His arms held her tight around her waist. She pulled back for a breath of air and gave him a teasing look. He swallowed hard. She suddenly gasped. "Huh? Mika's coming." Echo quickly readjusted herself on his desk. He sat back looking calm with wild thoughts running through his mind. She smirked to herself in delight as Mika entered the room. She observed them, but couldn't find anything out of place, except for Roy's messed up hair and his rapid breathing that he thought he was hiding well. Roy coughed and neatly stacked some paper.

"Your mission today..." He sat back in his chair thoughtful. "..Is to go out and investigate the new clothing store together!" He smirked.

Echo sighed, looking bored. "Yes, sir."

"And, you'll be doing it under cover. So, please wear these!" He pulled out two dresses. One was yellow, with white frills and was just finger tip length with a v-neck and spaghetti straps, along with a yellow bow to tie around your neck. The other was the same, but blue with frilly straps and blue bow. Roy grinned. Echo chirped up, "I call blue!" She grabbed it and spun around, smiling.

Mika face turned red. "I'm not wearing that! What kind of mission is this? Investigating a new clothing store?"

Roy frowned. "Well, if you're not willing... At least Echo is."

Echo smiled wide. "I'm going to go put it on now!" She ran outside the room, closing the door behind her.

"Are you just jealous that she got the blue one? I have pink!" He smiled.

"I hate pink... And I'm not jealous. This is not a mission..." She crossed her arms.

"Pleeeease, Mika?" He asked her in a sexy tone.

She glanced at him. "Fine... Give me the yellow one..."

He smirked. "That's my second lieutenant!" He handed her the dress. "The girl's bathroom is right around the corner."

Echo came in just as Mika was about to leave. "So, what do you think?" She spun around, her dress floating a little too high, flashing her cute kitten underwear. Roy stared and she giggled. "I take it, it looks great." Roy closed his eyes, trying to keep control. "Your turn, Mika!" She sang as she walked over to Roy, a tempting smile upon her face.

She took the dress. "I know where it is..." She muttered as she looked at Echo, sighing. She left the room and changed into the dress. She then looked at her self in the mirror. "This is a nightmare..." She went back to Roy's room and went in side. "There, happy?" she asked, embarrassed by the shortness.

Echo was sitting on Roy's lap, her head against his chest. Roy looked up at Mika. "Very!" He had a huge smile on his face.

Mika just looked at her and shook her head a bit, crossing her arms. "Look, can we just go and get this over with?"

Echo stood up, giving Roy a kiss on the cheek causing him to blush a bit. She then locked arms with Mika and started out the door.

"Stop flirting with him."

"What? I wasn't…" She gave her an innocent look. "…Why not?" She asked winking at the staring guys.

"Because... He's... Just not right..." She sighed. "Why do we even have to do this?"

"Not right? I think he's rather adorable... We're doing this as our mission. We need to go under cover."

"Investigating a clothing store? What are we going to find there? Nothing. Just some clothes and nothing about Riza."

Echo smirked. "You never know what might happen." She chuckled darkly. The clothing store was just a few feet ahead. "Do you have any weapons on you?"

"No... Why?"

She frowned a bit. "Don't worry. I do." We were outside the store now. "Are you ready?" She was using a deep concentration, warning the others to prepare.

Mika looked at the store and sighed. "Yeah, sure, let's go."
