Edward stepped down from the train, onto the platform and looked around. There were many people. Not only those he already knew, but workers and salesmen. In a brief second he wanted to look for Roy but dropped the idea fast. He took his luggage and continued towards the station house. His part of the operation was to prevent possible terrorist to attack from the main road. It was very quiet. Except the noise you normally hear at a train station in the evening everything else was quite. Edward could feel that somebody was watching him. He couldn't blame them. He was in his early twenties, had light hair in a pony tail and his clothes made him look like a farmer.

He watched the two blue uniforms enter the station house throw the sliding door. He sighed and followed them. Seconds later he heard a gun shoot. First he looked around like everyone else. 'What happened?' he thought. He dropped everything in his hands and ran into the booth. He tried to act like everyone else would have done.

"There was a gun shoot outside!" he yelled. The man in the booth panicked and could the police. The two blue uniform looked at each other. They knew that they had to act normal. They followed Edward outside and they began to look around. Edward grabbed his stuff and went around the station house instead of though it. He walked around the corner looking at the two blue uniforms and then…

"Umf!"

He stopped. He had walked into an extreme tall man. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" Edward apologised. The tall man smiled at him. "Don't worry about it my boy. Things like that happens. Are you okay?" Edward nodded and smiled. Suddenly two more gun shoots were fired and Edward turned around and suddenly he felt an instant pain in the back of his head.

"What…?" was all he managed to say before he felt to the ground.

"How in the world did they find us?!"

"How should I know?!"

Edward could hear several voice. He had his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.

"All we got is this boy here! They already caught half of us!"

'Yes…' Edward thought. 'That means Roy and the others are doing fine.'

Edward began to wonder how long he had been in this place. It was very cold and the air itself were like ice. His hands were tight behind his back and he sat on the floor in the room.

"All we have is him! One hostage?! We can't negotiate with one hostage!"

Edward's head hurt. He wanted to open his eyes and see the men who had kidnapped him. Roy came into his mind.

'Roy… Save me… please…'

One of the men walked over to Edward. It gave him the shiver.

"Colonel!" someone shouted from the outside. "I can see one of them!"

"Shit! He saw me Ralph!"

"Get away from the window you idiot!"

Edward could hear some movement and some mobilize under him. He could fell the men's footstep in the floor.

"Show yourself now!" a man yelled

'Roy?!' Edward thought.

"You are surrounded and you can't escape. Surrender now!"

"Never!" one of the men yelled back. "We have a hostage! Do anything funny and he will be a dead hostage!"

"A hostage..?" Roy mumbled and raised an eyebrow. "Show me!"

Edward could fell a massive force drag in him. He was held to his feet and the cold air stroked him directly in his face. He could hear a huge gasp around him.

"It's Fullmetal!" some yelled. Others yelled bastard and cowards after them. Edward opened his eyes slowly and looked down. He was about 20 meters above the ground. His eyes caught Roy's glance. Roy looked like he had seen a ghost. Edward tried up keep his eyes open, but it was hard. The pain in the back of his head became worse.

"You know this kid?" the strong man holding Edward asked. He looked at Edward.

"What a minute.. " The other one said. "Fullmetal.. I have heard that name before… shit! He's a state alchemist!"

"What?! This little one?!"

Edwards eyes began to burn. You could call him many things, but little… He began to twist and turn his whole body. He tried to get his arms free. He knew his cover were shoot dead so now he needed to get away. Edward bid and screamed his lungs out. Apparently the strong let go of Edward. The young alchemist stood at his feet trying to keep his head cold. He could see two men. One smaller them himself and the other bigger then Major Armstrong.

"Edward! Jump!" he heard Roy yell from behind.

He took a little step backwards. "Get him!" screamed the little man. Edward took one more step backwards but he was not fast enough. The big already had him in his grip.

"Let me go!"

"Now, now.." a third voice said. Two other men came into the room. They was tall and more normal looking. "You are en alchemist right?" the one asked.

Edward look at him, but didn't answer him. "I will ask you again.. You are an alchemist.. right?" Again Edward didn't answer. "well…" the man said in a low voice. He turned briefly away from Edward, but stopped. Turning fast around and hit Edward on the side of his head.

"Argh!" Edward cried out loud. Blood flowed down his cheek and eyes so his one eye became blind.

"He is kind of cute.." the fourth one said "I will take him. The military has taking so much from us and since we are going the die here anyway…"

'Take me..? how..?' Edward thought. He had to get out from there.

A gun shoot was fired and the small man dropped dead on the floor next to Edward. The fourth man pulled forward a knife and placed its blade in his mouth. "Now…" he said sarcastic. "Little mister state alchemist.. We are going to have a little fun right?"

'No… you don't mean…!' The man cut his shirt up and threw it into the corner. "NO!" Edward cried out loud but the man only grinned. Edward was in much pain and couldn't control his alchemy. The big man grabbed him and throw him over to the window. Edward grabbed the windowsill and pulled himself up. "Edward!" Roy yelled and then gasped. He looked at his men. "How long time can it take to get your men up there?!" "Roy…" Edward almost whispered. He looked down at the people standing underneath him and sighed. He reached up his hand in a attempt to caught Roy. The older alchemist held up his hands, trying to give Edward hope. A little smile and a tear fall down Edwards face, and suddenly it disappeared. A huge pain from his anus made him scream so fearful that it made everyone gasp. "Argh!" Edward screamed. "No! don't!" He looked down. "Roy…" he fainted. "Edward!" cried out lout. The men dragged Edward inside again and Roy lost Edward from his eyesight. He shook his head and looked into the ground. 'This can't be…'

A man came running "Colonel! We are ready!" Roy looked up. "You have order to kill at first sight… understood?!"

Seconds later a huge explosion from inside the room caught everyone's attention.

"No…" Roy mumbled and shook his head. This was not part of the plan.

"They are gone sir!"

"What?! Find them!"

"Over there!"

From the long distance Roy could see the bigger man carried Edward on his shoulders. A wise move. Then neither Roy or the snipers could do nothing. But where were they going?

"What's that way?" Roy asked fast.

"A river, sir."

"What! Why is it not covered?"

The men looked at each other until one said. "That was Full metal job. To stop them if they went that way."

"After them!" Roy yelled and 16 men jump after the three men and the unconscious alchemist.

10 minutes later and the three men had reached the river. A bout was there, waiting for them. Meanwhile, Edward was starting to get a grip of himself. He had been kidnapped.. and raped.. in front of others.. in front of Roy… He could never face his lover again. Now.. he just wanted to die. He was cold and he couldn't move a muscle.

'Roy… I'm so sorry…'

"What should we do with this guy?" the big one asked.

"We can kill him later! Come on!"

They entered the bout and sailed out on the huge river. The current was really strong the men had to put up a fight against mother nature just to get over to the other side. Edward was in front of the bout.

"Stop!" Roy's voice yelled from the shore. Edward's mind made a twist and he went berserk. He transmuted his auto-mail to his fighting sword. He looked up at the man who raped him and speared him right in his back.

"Argh! You little! Awwh!"

Edward pulled his arm back. He made one movement and cut the head of the big man. The last man screamed and jumped into the river. Edward was now alone in the bout covered in blood and feeling half dead.

"Edward! Catch the rope!"

The young alchemist looked over at the shore and saw the man he loved throw a long rope. It landed on the bout. Edward looked at it and couldn't decide what to do.

"Pick it up Full metal!" people yelled. "You can do it!"

Edward turned slowly, looked at them and shook his head. He wanted to cry but he couldn't.

"Edward! Please!" Roy yelled. The current became more powerful by the second. Edward took the rope, kissed it and throw it back in the water. His mind were made up. He could never be with Roy again. He didn't want to. In his mind hundreds of voices yelled at him for being a coward. He just shook his heard. He look at Roy for the last time and lip-read to him: 'I love you…'

"Edward! don't!"

The young alchemist leaned himself backwards and fell into the strong river. The water absorbed him the second he touched the surface. The combination of cold water and lost energy Edward fainted once more and made the river to be his guide.

Up on the shore Roy had completed lost it. Along with many others he cried his eyes out. 'Why…?' he thought. 'We could have saved you god dammit!'

"Colonel?" a soldier said quiet.

"What?" Roy mumbled.

"We need to report to the others. We have sent 4 others to look for full metal's…"

Roy swallowed and stood to his feet. He knew there was no way that Edward could have survived the cold water. He took a deep breath and followed the soldier back to the city. He stopped for a second and looked at the river again. He sighed and another tear felt down his cheek.

"I have to contact his family…"

The other soldier nodded.

A year later went slow for Roy. After giving the news of Edwards death Alphonse had had a break down. Roy himself had entered a depression of unknown dimensions. He didn't eat or sleep. His personal staff were worried. He was off work for 5 month but when he came back he lost his mind. Every time he was dressed in his military uniform could he see Edward in front of him.

After 6 month the military declared Edward dead and buried him on the same graveyard as his mother. An empty grave since they had never found his body. So now a year had went by. In the occasion the military had sent two men to the river for a last chance of a hope to find something.

Roy knew he had to move on. He still hadn't told anybody about him and Edward. He could fell his heart twisted from time to time. This day he had a meeting with some of the generals. He didn't mind. Every single one at headquarters thought that Roy had changed from a handsome living man to a handsome living dead. He was ach grey on his face and didn't really talk much. Mostly 'yes', 'no' and 'you don't say' was all he could manage.

The meeting started and Roy acted like he had been for the last year. Not even a single smile had been visible on his lips since that day. He still thought of Edward a lot. Every moment of everyday. His whole life was now empty and full of silence… until…

The door opened itself wide without a knock.

"General Jones!" the soldier felted out.

The general stood up and received a map filled with pictures. He opened it and read out loud:

"Up summing rapport on: The Full Metal Alchemist Edward Elric...? Can't this wait?"

Roy signed. 'Great' he thought.

"No sir," the soldier insisted. "look here. The picture." The general grabbed his glasses and gave a gasp.

"What is it?" one of the others asked. General Jones looked at them. "It is a picture of a blond man running with a auto-mail leg and arm…"
