Chapter 1.

No Luck

The train rattled as it sped down the tracks, Roy mustang was going over a criminal profile on a clip board. "Remind me again why you're here?" he asked the Woman next to him.

"To protect you Colonel, it's my job." The woman replied.

"Are you sure that's your only reason, Riza ba-," Reza cocked her hand gun and glared at Roy, "Please, call me Lieutenant."

"Yes Lieutenant."

"So about this guy," Roy changed the subject, "Have you got any now info other than what's stated here?" he asked.

"I'm afraid not sir." Riza replied, "Where shall we look first?"

"Well, let's check where he was last seen to see if we can gather some clues." He suggested. "Sound's good." She replied.


Roy and Riza stood behind the Blue Turkey Hotel.

"Well, this isn't giving us much." Roy commented.

"I agree." Riza sighed.

"Let's split up, we can search for clues faster that way." Roy suggested "You go that way and I'll take the other ally."

"No."

"But why not?" he queried.

"How can I watch your back when I'm not there?" Riza raised an eyebrow. Roy really didn't have an answer to this latest rhetorical question but persisted."As your commanding officer I order you to search that ally!" he wanted to get this over with ASAP, he had things to get back too in Central. Riza looked as though she was about to protest and stopped herself."Yes sir." She complied.

They each went their separate ways searching for something useful. Roy scanned the walls as he walked down the back ally. Nothing, nothing, no, no, no. after 15 minutes he decided that continuing would be pointless and turned around. When he returned Hawkeye was standing with his back to him, obviously having returned first. This could be his opportunity; on the other hand he didn't really want to be shot at, so maybe not now. She snuck up behind her planning to rest his hand gently on her shoulder, but before he reached her she turned.

"Hello sir, any luck?" she asked

"No, you?" Roy replied innocently.

"No." she admitted.

"Let's check the next place." Mustang said. Hawkeye nodded agreement.


It had been a long day, neither had found anything pertaining to the criminal they were searching for. They were very tired especially the Colonel, who suggested they check in a hotel, the Lieutenant agreed and they chose the run down Blue Turkey Hotel for the slim chance of the criminal's return.

In the hotel room Roy set down his things, "I'm going to take a shower." He told Riza and took a change of clothes with him to the bathroom.

The shower was refreshing after the long and fruitless day of searching. He stepped out of the shower and dried off then he got into his fresh uniform and combed his hair, it was important to keep one's self tidy. He walked out closing the door behind him. Riza was putting away her things away in a drawer. Roy stepped up from behind and put his arms around her waist, "Colonel Sir, what are you doing?" she flatly.

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"Colonel Sir this is inappropriate here." She scowled.

"So are you saying there is a time when this would be appropriate?" Roy whispered in her ear.

"Yes, with your girlfriend." Riza pushed him away. "You should put away your things too, by the way things are looking we might be here for a while." She suggested, referring to their lack of success finding their man. "Right, good idea." Roy was slightly crestfallen, but didn't let it show in his voice.
