Ed and Al Elric were sitting in the train station next to the pay phone.
"And that's why Whinry was mad at me." Ed said in is superior tone of voice.
"Then why did have to say it like that, why did you have to say that the military made you use to it?" Alphonse asked in a blunt way.
"Well you see." Ed started when the phone rang.
"We were wondering when you'd call." Ed answered, when he picked up the phone.
"You really should be more respectful of a high ranking officer like me." Roy said in a pleasantly irritated voice.
"Whatever you say." Ed mocked.
"Brother did he give you a mission or something, come on I can't hear." Al whined, Ed covered the mouth of the phone.
"Hold on I'll ask." Ed returned the phone back to his mouth.
"So Mustang what's the deed we must do now?"
"Now aren't you eager, you are to meet with the Chairman of CDF."
"CDF, got it then what?"
"He'll tell you when you meet him in central, just be sure not to be late." Roy hung up the phone. Ed put the phone.
"Well Al we need to get to Central, we have a train to catch." They stood and boarded a train for Central. Once aboard and seated Al's curiosity over came him.
"So brother what are we supposed to do when we reach Central?" Ed's adjusted himself in his seat.
"I really don't know Al, Mustang didn't tell me anything other then get to Central." Ed hunched forward with his head down.
"That and we have to meet some organization called the 'CDF'." Al was still concerned.
"So what do you think that CDF stands for anyway?" Al's question went round and round in Ed's head until he sat up.
"I think the answer is obvious, it must be the "Central Department of Force." As Ed had said the name he stood to feet and thrust his fist in the air. Al was glad to see his brother was in a better mood. Ed continued on his rant.
"Yes it stands for Central Department of Force and they need us to help them track down and capture renowned criminals." The train came to a stop breaking Ed's train of thought. As they exited the train Ed continued to think about the great heroic deeds that he would do on this mission for the CDF. When they left the station a man with a sign that read "Full metal Alchemist" was standing by a car. Ed and Al approached the man and Ed was about to speak when the man interrupted.
"Hello you must be the Full Metal Alchemist." The man stretched out his hand to Al. Al tried to deny it and stop Ed from exploding at the man.
"No I'm not, it's." Al tried to explain, but the man interrupted once again as he put his glasses on.
"Oh I'm sorry, you must be him." The man redirected his hand to Edward. Ed held his head hotly.
"Yes, I see my reputation proceeds." Ed took the man's hand and shook it proud.
"No, I have a picture." The man showed them the picture in his hand.
"My name is Fredrick Albrecht, and I represent the CDF." Fredrick motioned towards the car and opened one of the doors.
"Well gentlemen if you will please get in, we can move on with this assignment." The three of them entered the car. Ed looked all around the car noticing a small fridge in the corner of the car. The car's engine started up and the car began to roll down the road.
"So what's in the fridge?" Ed asked as a general question. Fredrick pulled a bottle out of the fridge.
"Here take one." Fredrick handed the bottle to Edward. Ed examined the bottle, but before he could open it the car rolled to a stop. Fredrick opened the door and stepped out. Ed and Al followed and found themselves surrounded by carnival tents and booths.
"So what are we doing here?" Al asked. Ed had been wondering the same thing, but his mind simply went back to thoughts of grandeur. Fredrick waved to a woman directing the other men who were working on the tents. The woman walked over to the three of them. When she was standing next to them Fredrick introduced them.
"Ms. this is Edward and Alfonse Elric." Ed and Al bowed their heads and Fredrick continued.
"And This Ms. Sarah Wolfe." Fredrick pointed to the women. "Head of the advertising department at the Central Dairy Farm."
