Greed's POV

Greed stayed silent the entire time Marta led him inside Lab 7. It was one of those times where he thought more than talked. He was led through a duct that ended with them looking into a lab station. There were humans tied down to the bed with tubes stuck in them; most of them unconscious, others staring up with wide, fear-filled eyes.

Greed could hear the sound of Marta's irregular breathing. He only hoped she wouldn't crack and attack everyone down there… He could only hope.

The men and woman operating had big, glassed masks that magnified their faces. Greed bit back a laugh. Down below, he could see the iron doors that led out into the hall. Greed also noticed that there was only one pair of iron doors: one way in, one way out.

Marta looked at Greed with one of those I-told-you-so looks that made him want to roll his eyes. Then as Greed was about to hitch his way back through the duct, the iron doors were thrown open. Two men in military uniforms were carrying something inside. Greed didn't even have to squint to know it was a person. He grit his teeth.

It was another girl. Everyone knew Greed had a guilt thing when it came to women, or if you want to be specific, females. They usually never start fights or do damage. Only the ones like Marta, who never seem to give up.

One of the doctors stepped forward. "Dr. Michael! What is this!?" he yelled.

The two military thugs sat, no, dumped the girl on one of the operating beds. Greed got to see the girl's face for the first time. She was hot, Greed gave her that. Her hair was a caramel brown and by looking at her face, he could tell that she used expressions to show emotion. Her lips were tight into a grimace, along with squinted eyebrows. She did not look happy.

Ha. Who would be happy if you were being dragged into a lab unconscious? Greed thought sarcastically.

The man in a fancy-looking suit with military patches coughed to show recognition. "This is Kiki... my stepdaughter," he said without any emotion. Greed grunted at the pains in his knuckles as Dr. Michael continued. "She, um… let me say, found out about our operations here." Dr. Michael's lips lifted into a sneer that made Greed want to snap his jaw.

The other doctor didn't take to this either, because his eyes were wide with horror. "Your stepdaughter, Doctor!? But, she found out. So why did you bring her here!? She's just a kid!" He was most definitely distressed. Greed put this all together in his head. All the doctors here were only doing what the military told them to. They probably didn't know the humans they experiment on were captured teenagers. None the less, Greed planned on taking them out anyway.

"This kid, Dr. James, was planning on taking this information to the Full Metal Alchemist, Edward Elric. Now, if my memory serves me, that young Edward destroyed Lab 5 and put us in this situation in the first place. I… suggest that if you want to keep your job here, that you keep your mouth shut and do what you were hired for, eh?"

That was it. Dr. Michael had obviously won the argument, because Dr. James didn't say another word on the subject. Without ever looking at the Kiki girl, Dr. Michael walked, with his arms behind his back, out of the lab. Greed's attention was pulled back to the girl. She was stirring. Only Greed and Marta noticed because the doctors were now talking over what to do.

Marta had her hands on the vent cover like she was about to fall if she let it go. She was looking at Greed expectantly. He shook his head. If they burst in, they would never be able to get back in later. The girl would have to wait. Marta sighed, and Greed and Marta turned back toward the girl. She was looking around with wide, turquoise-blue eyes. She saw the men in the coats and the people on the beds. Her eyes stopped being fearful suddenly. She looked… determined. Greed saw her eyes linger over the unconscious red head.

Shit. Greed thought. She obviously knew the girl. Then Greed knew.

"No," Greed hissed angrily. She had the chance to get out. All she had to do was plunge a syringe into the doctor and thugs. Then she'd be home free. Greed couldn't understand why she wouldn't leave. She was going to try to save them.

Greed watched silently as Kiki walked slowly over to the other beds. Very quietly, she undid the straps, watching the men with cautious eyes. The captives that were awake started for the corridor behind the lab cabinets with alarming swiftness. All the unconscious ones were forced awake by Kiki and led out of the hallway.

She was undoing a blonde boy's straps when the doctor's yell bellowed from the other end. "Where'd they go!? She led them out! Hurry! Get her!"

Kiki froze with horror, but came out of it immediately. She shoved the boy into the hall and locked the door. Then, as a thug came at her, she turned around kicking her knee up his crotch. Ow. Greed thought. The thug bent with an agonized grunt. Kiki drew her arm back and punched him in the nose.

The other one was smarter. He kept trying to get behind her, making it hard for Kiki to get at him. Eventually, Kiki gave up on the ring-around game and lunged at the man. He toppled backwards; straight into an animal's cage. Kiki quickly clanged the door shut on him. Unfortunately for him, a coyote was locked up sleeping. All of the noise woke him up. Ha! Greed thought funnily.

Now only the doctor was left, and he wasn't looking too good. He was standing there, staring at Kiki with an "O" for a mouth.

"She beat them," Marta muttered in amazement. "She actually beat them."

"Any girl knows where to hit when it comes to men, Marta. All that was, was instinct," Greed explained casually. She just nodded and returned her eyes to the scene.

Kiki had grabbed a long surgical knife from a lab table, and had it pointed toward Dr. James, ready to plunge it in him at any time.

"Now you don't have to threaten me. I-I'm not taking another step," Dr. James stuttered. Kiki didn't drop the knife, but only raised it higher. This kid wasn't stupid.

Then Greed noticed movement in the corner. The thug that Kiki kneed was getting up. As the Doctor was keeping Kiki busy, he was making a move. Greed and Marta cursed. They could only watch as the man crept slowly behind Kiki. Then the gun hilt came down on Kiki's head. Her body hit the ground with a hard thud.

Greed grit his teeth.

"Little bitch. That's what you get for trying to take an officer," the man spat.

They were picking Kiki off the floor when Greed decided what to do. "Come on, Marta. Let's go."

"But-!" she protested, before Greed silenced her.

"We're going to get the others. We're gonna come back and destroy this place, so stop yapping and let's hit the road."

She took one look at Kiki before following Greed back up the duct.
