The Fire

You could hear the rain beating down on the foursome as they searched in vain, Roy Mustang ahead of them all, determined.

"Sir, shouldn't we get out of this rain?" Riza said, slowing her walk.

Glancing, back at Winry, "Not until we find Fullmetal."

Nodding she understood, the girl looked desperate and Al, Ed's brother, was unusually silent. "I understand Colonel; at least stand under the umbrella, getting your gloves wet won't do Ed any good."

Exasperated, he turned back, "My gloves are in my pocket Lieutent!"

"Still no need to take chances, at this rate you'll be soaked, being in your pocket will do them little good." Formal as ever but there was a slight edge of worry in her voice, that only the Colonel noticed was directed toward him, not Ed. Sighing he went to stand next to Riza under the umbrella, sending her a questioning glace, "You entrusted me with your back the least I can do is fulfill that trust," turning to Al, "don't worry we will find him Al."

Pulled out of his stupor, "Where would Brother have gone to? He never leaves without telling me." He sounded so distraught Roy thought his heart would break if they didn't find the boy soon.

"I'm sure we will find him, Winry needs him if for no other reason than that he will come." Riza said trying to instill some hope in the girl walking next to her.

Roy, as worried as Al and Winry, "We need to get going, Alphonse," he was not going to let anything happen to the boy, he would save his friend this time.

Quieter than a whisper, the suit of amour answered, "Okay Colonel."

Almost to herself, Winry finally spoke, "Ed, you idiot."

Growing more concerned by the second, Riza looked up, "I'm worried about him in this rain. Doesn't this type of weather cause his stumps great pain?" As thunder rumbled throughout the night sky.
