A/N: Wow, thank you all for the reviews I got! I'm so excited:D I was so worried about what people would think of it, since this is my first ff. I am sorry, I didn't realize anonymous reviews were blocked before, so I fixed that. I would never knowingly block anonymous reviewers, since I myself was one once. ;) But anyway, enough chit chat, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat, I do not own HP or FMA, or any of their characters. I am simply not brilliant enough. Maybe In my dreams, I do, but in reality, I don't. So don't sue me, I'm broke anyway.

Chapter 2: A Midnight Stroll

Edward crept quietly along the dark streets of Central, making sure not to be seen or heard. The night air was cool, and the stars were out. Some would say it was a perfect, quiet night with the full moon shinning in the sky. But Edward had no time to stop and admire the scenery. His time window was small, and at 1:30 in the morning, he was already running out of time.

Tonight his target was, he thought, a relatively simple one. Morris Green, a military official, not too high up in the rank of command, (he was only a Lieutenant Colonel) but he'd been snooping around and asking questions that shouldn't be asked. The Fuhrer wasn't terribly worried, but he wanted him gone, just in case.

As Edward came up Lincoln Avenue, he paused to check the address he'd been given. 38655, That was the house number. He looked to his right, and saw that the house was 38651. His destination was just a few houses down. He took the time to look around and make sure he was alone, which he was. The dark street was empty.

Edward continued his slow, almost casual pace until he reached the house. It was a small two story with a small front yard. The house itself looked a bit shabby, but the yard was clipped, with a few toys here and there. The front porch was also a bit of a mess, and Edward began to think that this Morris Green didn't even lock his doors at night, not that it mattered.

He quickly made his way up to the front door and immediately tried the knob. It was locked, so he'd have to find another way in. To his left was a small window, but if it was open he could squeeze through easily enough. He slipped over, and got lucky this time. It was closed, but unlocked.

Edward silently pried the window open and stepped through,(although he was on tiptoe as he did, the window was a bit high up). Once he was through he found himself in what looked like a small living room, with a couch, a few chairs, and a television set. This room was empty, he'd have to try another room.

The next room he looked into was the kitchen, which was also empty. The bathroom, and what looked like a laundry room were also a part of the downstairs. He would have to look upstairs.

As Edward ascended the staircase he heard a noise from above. He froze in mid-step, listening for more sounds. After a few moments of silence, he began up the stairs again. Once reaching the top, at the end of the hall he saw a closed door, and slowly crept up to the door.

The door opened without a sound, and at first the room appeared empty too. But over by the window the man slept upright in a chair with a book in his hands. He's obviously fallen asleep reading it. Then Edward's nose caught a smell in the air. Clearly booze, the man must've passed out.

Ed slowly pulled a small knife out from the inside of his coat. He preferred other means, but this way it would be silent and quick. He came up behind the man and tilted his head up, exposing the neck. For a moment his eyes opened, confused and foggy, but only for a second. Edward cut quick and deep, and the man's eyes emptied. Checking for a pulse, Ed confirmed the man was dead. The job was done, he could go back now… not that he would sleep at all.

A/N: whew, it's done. This one was longer, just as I had promised, and I hope it satisfied some curiosity. The next chapter will intro Flame and Deadeye, as all three get their new assignment together. I suppose I'll have to increase the rating to M now, since I just killed off some guy. On a different note, this is not a yaoi! I don't have any pairings in mind either right now either, but you may make requests, and I'll think about it. Anyway, I hope you all liked this chapter better, and please Review!! I live for them now! Any flames will be used to heat up my house, it's very cold out here in Oregon.
