Disclaimer: I don't own FMA or any related titles.

Warning: This story is not fully thought through yet, it's kind of just a random series, but this should come together after I write a couple of chapters. Please bear with me here, I do my best…

Riza: 'Ello, y'all. Lol sorry, couldn't help myself. Anyway, this is another, idea that hit me early in the morning. Luckily it's only 12:30 instead of 2 when I wrote my last story. This story is basically about…or it's going to be about…a boy who has been trained since his childhood to be better than Roy…

Kago: So let us begin already!!!

Riza: WOOT!!! Here we go:


Chapter 2: Enter The Murderer
Riza Hawkeye looked up at her superior then down at the newspaper which had been plopped onto her desk by the man.

"Another man missing…he's a state alchemist and he's one of the better ones…he's the 7th officer and 3rd alchemist." Roy said angrily as Riza opened the newspaper.

"Think it's the same people?" She asked.

"Definitely…"

"Do you…" Riza started, but was interrupted.

"Colonel Roy Mustang, 1st Lieutenant Elizabeth Hawkeye, 2nd Lieutenants Jean Havoc and Heymans Breda, Warrant Officer Vato Falman and Master Sergeant Kain Fuery please report to the Fuhrer's office immediately. That is all…" The voice of Ms. Douglas, the Fuhrer's Secretary announced over the intercom. Roy and Riza looked at each other and stood. They made their way through the corridors of Central Headquarters to the office of Fuhrer President King Bradley. They entered and saluted with the others. The Fuhrer stood, that annoying, oh so familiar smile on his face. He seemed nonchalant about absolutely everything.

"Hello all of you," he said in that easy-going way of his, "I'm sure you have heard about the recent abductions."

"Of course, Sir." Roy said, being the most superior save the Fuhrer himself.

"Mustang, I'm assigning you and your subordinates to the investigation. I'm sure that each of your individual skills especially those of both you and Miss. Hawkeye will be extremely valuable to the case." He said, Roy heard Riza's name mention and was confused. He looked to his favorite subordinate, but she was glaring at Ms. Douglas.

"Yes, Sir." Roy said.

"I am also going to give you a new, trainee alchemist, same rank and position as Full Metal. His alchemist name is Typhoon. The Typhoon Alchemist masters in water techniques and although this is opposite to your personal techniques, I'm sure that he could be of use to you. Ms. Douglas…" He said and the woman went to open the door. A man with red hair and icy blue eyes stepping in. He looked just a cocky as Mustang.

"Hello, sir. My name is Major Charles Hamilton, The Typhoon Alchemist." He introduced himself.

"Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist."

"First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye."

"Second Lieutenant Havoc."

"Second Lieutenant Breda."

"Warrant Officer Falman."

"And I am Master Sergeant Fuery." They all said in order of rank. Charles looked at Riza and smiled. She smiled back slightly. Roy looked at the Fuhrer.

"I'll leave you all to become acquainted." The Fuhrer said and they all walked back to Roy's office. Riza sat and Charles smiled, walking over to her. He took her hand and got on one knee, kissing it gently.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Hawkeye." He said and she blushed.

"The pleasure is all mine, sir…" She said. Everyone turned as they heard a loud snap. Roy was pink and was holding the top half of a pencil, the other half rolled off of his desk.

"Just holding it a little too firmly." He said with a nervous laugh.

"So what's going on in this case?" Charles asked.

"7 military officers have mysteriously disappeared." Havoc said, lighting up another cigarette. Riza sighed, looking at him.

"Seven?"

"Yes and 3 of them were alchemists…good ones at that." Heymans said seriously…for once.

"Any crime pattern, anything like that?" Charles asked.

"No, they all just vanished, out of the office, while doing random things." Riza answered.

"You said out of the office so what if the captors were making sure that the military didn't know and would think that it was a normal abduction? Maybe it's a mass murder like that scar guy a few years back…"

"Possible…"

"Not very probable though, what would killing 7 military personnel help any?"

"The military would just hire even more people…"

"It's pretty tough…"

This babble continued throughout the next few days. Mindless ideas being thrown into the mix along with all the others. After 3 days, they had a criminal profile of the kidnappers. They figured out that there had to be more than one seeing as how the "kidnappees" were trained army personnel. They also found that all the attacks occurred in the day so the kidnappers had to blend into society pretty easily. There were several other things they figured out, but Riza Hawkeye's mind was already to full to think about all of it.

Riza walked through the hall of her apartment, heading to the bathroom. She needed a bath…badly. Not because she smelled or anything, but she was just dying for a bath. She slipped out of her army uniform with ease since it was pretty big on her as is and turned on the warm water. She lifted her favorite bath towel off of the ring on the back of the door and laid it next to the tub. Black Hayate had trotted in behind her, but she really didn't care. His warm, fuzzy-ness would be more relaxing than anything. She smiled a little as she dipped her leg into the hot water, lying down gently in the tub, leaving her left arm handing out. With that, dry hand; she idly began to pet Black Hamates' fur as he lay next to the tub. She leaned her head back, closing her eyes.

Riza thoroughly enjoyed her bath, but forced herself to get out when the water began to give her goose-bumps. She wrapped her towel around her and headed for her bedroom, being followed by her puppy. She dried off and got into a pair of pink and blue pajamas, crawling into bed with a content smile. Black Hayate jumped up and curled up next to her chest.


Dreams:


"Profecy?" The little blonde inquired.

"Yes, it's a story about the future…" Her father answered.

'INFANT HAS DISSAPPEARED!' 'BABY STILL MISSING!' The headlines read. No one knew what happened to the young boy who had been kidnapped…

Riza stood in a cold, damp room, surrounded by other little kids. She looked down to find her hands were small and covered with dirt and blood. There was a little boy crying nearby. Riza looked around and saw a man keeping watch. He turned to her and yelled incoherent words.


End Dreams


Riza shot up to the sounds of her phone. She groaned, getting out of bed, running to the phone.

"Hello?" She grumbled.

"Riza! I need you in the office immediately!" Roy said urgently on the other side of the phone.

"What time is it?"

"Three in the morning."

"Can't it…"

"Wait? No, no it can't wait, I need you here, NOW!" He said. She mumbled an 'uh huh…' and hung up. She dressed and drove toward Central HQ.


Riza: Hm…….not as good I expected, but hopefully you people like it.
