Here's the second chapter, yay ^^ at first it was meant to be a one-shot, but several people asked me to write more, so I did. Please tell me what you think :)
A chill wind silently swept through the office. Apparently someone had left the window open. At 8:00 am, just as usual, a young, blonde woman entered the room.
- What a mess, Hawkeye sighed. She picked up the papers the wind had blown down from colonel Mustang's desk and started to stack them in piles. Roy Mustang had never been a very well-organized man. Maybe that's why she liked him so much. Opposites attract.
She looked at the clock on the wall. Ten past eight. He would be there in 15 minutes. After tidying up the room, Hawkeye started going through the documents in the file someone had put on her desk the day before. She and the colonel had been away inspecting one of the many mines in the West. The owners of the mine perhaps had to close down the mine due to the many earthquakes in the area, which had caused large cracks in the tunnel walls. Not many people knew that the earthquakes weren't normal earthquakes, that the source of them was a Homunculus digging a tunnel all the way around Amestris, deep under ground.
It was almost nine o' clock when Breda and Havoc interrupted Hawkeye's work by slamming the door wide open.
- Lieutenant Hawkeye! Mustang is hospitalized!
- WHAT?!!
This was the first time ever they'd seen her look scared.
- They say it was a car accident, but it doesn't really seem like…
Breda didn't have time to finish the sentence. The lieutenant had already run out of the room, down the stairs and out on the street. Through the window they could see her running down the street heading towards the nearby hospital.
Roy Mustang had overslept. It wasn't his fault, since his alarm clock hadn't set off. Things like that can happen to anyone, can't they? However, it was only a couple of minutes until he should be at work. He would be late no matter what, but he tried to be as little late for work as possible. He got dressed in a hurry, skipped the breakfast, took his keys and drove to work.
Suddenly something jumped out in front of the car and Mustang, who was driving quite fast didn't have time to break and drove straight into a wall on the right side of the street. The front of the car got totally crashed and Mustang was lucky to stay alive. The car started burning and Mustang, who had hit his head pretty badly, couldn't get the door up before he passed out.
- Excuse…Me, what's the room… Number… of Roy… Mustang?
Hawkeye was panting for air after running all the way to the hospital. The young woman on the other side of the desk looked up.
- Roy Mustang? Don't say you're dating that bastard. It was more like a statement than a question. I'll give you an advice. You'd better break up with him right now or he'll leave you for someone else as soon as you look away.
Hawkeye sighed. Apparently this was just another of the many women the handsome colonel hade dated in his 29-year-old life.
- No… it's not that way, Hawkeye said desperately. He's just my superior officer. Could you please tell me the room number?
- Yeah, yeah just wait a second… No, I'm sorry. There is no Roy Mustang here at the moment.
- What? But… Havoc and Breda said that he had been in a car accident and that he was here! Hawkeye almost shouted of desperation. The other woman's eyes widened.
- I heard of an accident not far away from here, she said slowly. But the car had exploded or something so it was completely demolished, but the strange thing was that there was no signs that there had been any persons in the car. Kind of confusing, isn't it?
Hawkeye didn't reply and just walked out. The weather was nice, sunny, and neither too warm nor cold. It was in the end of September, and the leaves on the trees were all yellow. She didn't have time to enjoy the weather. Don't cry, she told herself and started walking back to the office. What else could she do?
- So, how was he? Breda asked when Hawkeye returned to the office about 15 minutes later.
- Who told you that the colonel was in the hospital? Hawkeye asked back without answering Breda's question.
- We don't know, he said. But it wasn't anyone close to the Führer, that's for sure. Don't know his name though. I've never seen this guy before.
- That would make sense, Hawkeye said. Since the colonel isn't at the hospital at all. The woman in charge there told me that there had been a car accident but no one had been in the car.
- So you mean he's kidnapped?!
- That's a possibility, yes. And please don't shout. We don't want this to spread all over the military, do we?
The following days seemed to pass in slow motion. There had been no signs of the flame alchemist and Hawkeye was starting to lose hope. She wanted to search for him, but she didn't know where to start. There were no clues of where he had went, or if he had been kidnapped where he had been taken. What she didn't know was that he wasn't far away from her. Actually he was almost straight below her. A few kilometres under ground, tied up against a water pipe. Just in case he would wake up.
So, what's really happened to Roy? Help me to find out, I don't even know myself. Send me a message or something! :D
