"A new recruit?"
"Yes, sir. Her name is Anna Bernette."
Colonel Roy Mustang sat back with his feet on the desk. He paged through the report of the new member of Eastern Command. This new girl mysteriously appeared in Amestris sometime after the Ishval War. There wasn't much dirt on her. Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing was up to the colonel.
"Sir, should I bring her in?"
Roy looked at his second in command, Riza Hawkeye. She looked as serious as usual with a stern face that was perfectly unreadable. Roy shrugged and threw the papers on the desk.
"Eh, why not? I'd like to see this girl for myself," Roy said.
"Understood, sir," Riza said. She opened the door and a young girl walked in.
According to her file, she was twenty-two, a very young age to be in the military. She had short blonde hair that just barely passed her shoulders. She wore blue glasses that sat in front of sad blue eyes. "Hello," she muttered sternly.
"Hawkeye, you're dismissed," Roy said. He wanted to get to know his new co-worker in private. Riza nodded and left the room. "Please have a seat."
"I'm fine standing," Anne said. Roy was a bit surprised by the statement but let it go for now.
"Where did you come from, Anne? It says here you've only been in Amestris for three years," Roy asked.
"I don't know. I woke up in a pile of dead bodies near the Ishval border. I ended up in Amestris, taken in by an old couple on the outskirts of Southern command," Anne said.
Roy felt that this could be true. The military didn't really have proper burials for the deceased enemy. She could have somehow been caught in the crossfire. "Why are you here?" he asked.
"I was sent here from the South," Anne said.
"No, no. That's not what I meant. Why are you in the military? A young girl like you should be trying to find a husband, not a death wish," the colonel said. Anne's eye twitched as she turned.
"May I please leave?" she asked. The room was filled with suffocating silence. Roy sighed and dismissed the blonde.
"Such a strange girl. She's very interesting," he whispered to himself.
