Chapter 2
Hello People! Here is the next chapter im going to be posting about 3 tonight :) Well, I guess 1 considering you guys have read the 1st and 2nd already but whatever haha. Although you might want to re-read this chapter because i added some things that you might want to read. If not it doesn't matter but i think it helps the story make sense more. I mean, after that happened he doesn't have any bruises or anything? Pssh, yeah right. Tell me what you think and please R&R if you feel like it :)
Also, I would like to thank some of the people who commented on my old story and gave me ideas.
Thank you 'fullmetalfan2' for helping me and thank you 'wolf girl' for giving me a few ideas that I might use later on.
"Um… I mean.. YES, SIR. I'LL GET THE FILM RIGHT AWAY WHAT CAMERA WOULD YOU LIKE?" Havoc shouted trying to cover his tracks. Roy put his hands through his hair. There are many security cameras around Fullmetal's house, he thought… Which one should I choose to see what really happened…
Mustang sat thinking at his desk. I don't want to choose all of them, because there might be nothing on them anyway that's worth seeing…. But I can't take a chance on it if there's something important on it.
Roy sat up and slammed his hands on his desk. "Havoc, get me all the surrounding video cameras around Fullmetal's house. Be silent and don't let anyone see you. Especially Edward. Is that clear? Bring them back to me immediately."
"Yes, sir!" Havoc replied and grabbed his coat as he flew out the door.
See Fullmetal… I'll find out whether you want me to or not.
Later that day Havoc came storming in sweating like crazy with a weird look on his face.
"What the hell happened, Havoc? I thought you were supposed to get those to me immediately! It's been what, four- five hours?" Roy got up and said as he looked at the bag Havoc was carrying. "Is that the footage?"
"…Yes..but… um before you watch it I think I need to tell yo-" Before he could finish talking the Colonel snatched it out of his hands and looked up at the tape.
"Perfect. Thank you, Havoc, you may return to work now."
"Sir… I need to tell you something."
Roy looked at the man and gestured for him to continue.
"Well.. it's about the footage. I made sure I wasn't followed, but I kept feeling like I was so I put the footage in that paper bag," he said as he pointed to the bag and continued. "I thought it would be best to go to my house to remain inconspicuous as possible, and I figured, 'Hey, why not check out why Fullmetal has been acting weird while I'm here?' heh heh… I watched the tape, sir…"
"Is there a good reason why he's been acting so strange, Havoc?"
"I can't even believe what that poor boy has been through…" Havoc responded.
Roy stared in bewilderment. After a moment of silence, he called in the rest of his team.
"Everyone, come in here! I want you to watch something…."
Havoc looked up confused. "Don't show them that! Do you know what Edward would do if he knew you were just thinking about looking at him through the tape, he'd murder you! He'd be so embarrassed if more people knew what happened!"
"I think we all have a right to know what happened, Havoc. And don't worry, no one here is going to say anything about it to anyone." Roy said. "….Unless Edward comes in. We need to tell him that everything's ok and he'll get through this…. Whatever… THIS is. Am I clear?" Everyone nodded as they came in and took seats all around the little mini TV screen in the office.
"Good. Finally I'm sick and tired of waiting around to convince everyone it's fine, let's just watch now."
He slid it in and a picture popped up on the screen of an alleyway. There were few people walking around in it and it clearly showed that nothing special was going on.
After sitting there watching for about an hour, Roy stood up and walked over to Havoc and whispered, "…What the hell, Havoc there isn't even anything on this…"
"It's a video camera Roy, it's been taping for like what, six hours on the street? Just because you turn it on doesn't mean we're going to see it right away…" Roy sighed and rubbed his hands through his hair. "Well how much longer do we have to wait until we see him?" Roy asked.
"….Right about now…"
Roy looked up at the screen. About a minute later, a short, blonde boy came running through the alley like his life depended on it. His clothes were ripped, he looked like he was in pain and was bloody everywhere. He tripped and fell over a hose in the middle of the alleyway, and laid there in pain for at least a minute. Then he slowly started to get up, and you could hear the whimpers coming from his mouth as he stood up and slowly walked away in pain and defeat. Then he was out of view of the camera, and more people continued to walk on by as if nothing had happened.
Roy stood up. "Ok… um… I guess that this was after whatever happened to him. As we see now, something bad did happen to Fullmetal… this was shot at…" He stopped talking as he rewinded the video where Edward came into the screen. He stopped and froze it there. "This was taken at 1:36 in the morning… whatever happened to him happened before this so we need to check all the other cameras to see if we can view what happened. Now, I don't think we'll have enough time to watch it today, so I'll bring it home with me and watch as much as I can and then bring the rest to work with me tomorrow. Am I clear?"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone shouted and walked up and left the room.
Jeez Ed…. What the hell did you do now- His thoughts were interrupted when Edward came marching through the door.
"You know, Colonel, you should really try to teach your subordinates some manners sometime. I just pass them by on the street, and they stare at me like I was DEAD or something. Then Havoc comes around behind me and starts checking me out. Could you tell him for me that I'm not interested or something… ive got the creeps now…"
Roy just rolled his eyes. "I don't think that's it, Ed. Why did you come in here, anyway? You already showed up earlier today."
Ed shoved a piece of paper in the Colonel's hands which Roy assumed it was his report. "What do you think bastard, I have a brother who's constantly on my ass everyday making sure I do everything perfectly. Damn it, Al…" Ed said.
Roy snickered and opened the letter as he leaned on his desk. "Hmm… all right, this will do."
Ed just stared at him for a few moments and then started to walk away when Mustang saw something.
"Ed?"
"…What?" Edward stopped at the door and turned around hiding behind his bangs a little.
"Get over here. I want to see your face."
His eys got wide when he heard that order and turned around so his back was facing the Colonel. "I don't have to do anything. Why do you wanna see my face anyway, it's perfectly fine." He grabbed the handle then yelped in pain realizing it was burning hot and scowled at the Colonel. "You could've told me you made it hot asshole!"
"Now where's the fun in that? Now come over here that's an order!" Mustang walked over to Ed and noticed there was a marking underneath his bangs. "Lift up your bangs, Ed." When he refused Mustang grabbed him by his shirt and pinned him against the wall lifting up his bangs himself to find huge bruises all over his forehead and cheeks.
"S-Stop it!" Ed yelled and then kicked the Colonel in his stomach knocking the air out of him. "Don't touch me! I can't take it anymore just stop!" He frantically searched the room to find a way to escape and then jumped out of the window onto a tree. He slid down and then ran away as fast as he could.
And with that Ed was gone leaving Roy in his desk once more that day bewildered at what was going with the boy.
That night Mustang went back to his apartment and started to watch all the other 5 video tapes there were with six hour long footage on them. "Jesus this is going to take me forever to get through…. This kid is going to be the end of me.." Roy thought out loud. Hours went by, and he finished watching the first tape. "Not a damn thing…" Roy said and looked at the clock. Two in the morning… shit… he decided he would watch another one in office tomorrow with the rest of the team.
The next day Roy arrived at work with one of the tapes. "Come on, guys. I brought only one since I figured that's six hours right there and we wouldn't have time to watch another one." He slipped it in and it started to play. There was really nothing too interesting on the tape yet as three hours already passed by. The only thing Roy noted was that there were at least three men walking down another alley that led to Ed's house, just about an hour before the other tape recorded Ed running for his life bleeding. The rest of the tape finished, without any other clues as to what happened.
"Did anyone else notice those guys walking towards Ed's house?" Havoc asked.
"Yes, I thought they were rather strange looking but I doubt they had anything to do with it," Riza answered. Roy put his hands through his hair. "Ok, everyone. Tomorrow we'll watch another one. I don't know if I can handle watching another one of these tonight…" Roy said and he picked up his keys and coat and left.
The next day Roy marched into his office. "Everyone! Office. Now. We're going to start watching another one." Everyone groaned as they brought their chairs around the tv and sat.
One hour went by, two, three….four…. Roy was getting impatient. How was he supposed to find out what happened if all the stupid videos didn't show anything?!
Roy was starting to get pissed, when he noticed that the time was about 12:30, an hour before whatever happened to Ed, happened. Or so he thought.
Roy almost shouted in delight when the camera showed Edward finally. Now he could get to see what was going on with him…
Ed was walking through the street, and stopped. He turned around suddenly. ...What's going on Ed…. Roy thought to himself.
Then all of a sudden off the rooftops three men surrounded Edward. Ed quickly transmuted his automail into a long deadly knife without hesitating. Roy's office was growing in anticipation, wondering how Ed would even consider taking on three huge men on his own. Roy started to break out in sweat. No wonder he got so scratched up these guys were beating the living shit out of him. But whenever Ed got knocked down, he stood back up to everyone's amazement. Over and over again, Ed was hit in the head, his groin, every place that would hurt unbearably. Finally, when one man knocked Ed down, another one came out of nowhere before Ed could try to stand, and kicked him in the head, like a football. Everyone in the room gasped. How could Ed even be walking around today after that happened?
Ed was unconscious, and the three men looked at him proud of their winning. The room watched in horror, as they took Ed and dragged him down into a corner of an alley, and positioned him there. They watched in horror as the men tried to think of ways to do next to Edward. "Oh my God.." Roy blurted out all of a sudden. He already knew what they were going to do to Edward…..
The office watched in horror as two of the men picked up the unconscious man and positioned him on the concrete floor of the building and held him down just in case he woke up. The other man pulled down his pants and Edward's as he started to rape Ed, without him even knowing. Everyone in the room didn't know what to do; if they should keep watching, or if they should turn it off. Everyone looked to the ground, afraid to watch what was happening. Then Havoc looked up and gasped. Ed was starting to wake up, probably from the pain.
The office looked at Ed's face and saw that he was crying and kicking and trying to do everything his weak body could manage. Finally, Ed gave up and passed out. The men just left him there on the ground, bleeding and hurting and unconscious. After fifteen minutes passed and the office crew just watched Ed lay on the ground unconscious. He woke up about a half hour later and started to sob, all by himself in the dark alleyway. They could hear his pleading for help, and after no one came, he tried to stand and walk by himself. They were amazed at how he got up and pulled his pants up and looked around in horror to make sure that no one was there still. He started to walk, then run, and you could see in the faint corner of the camera, Ed falling and getting back up after a minute or so. It was 1:36 in the morning.
The crew stared in disbelief and Havoc mumbled in horror, "…Edward?"
WELL THAT'S IT THANKS A BUNCH! XD
