Never…never in a million years did these men think they would see so much blood in one place. Blood was lathered on the walls and at least four inch deep puddles could be found on the wooden floor boards, turning the color to a cherry red. The military men allowed their eyes to wander around the room and take in the gruesome sight until they heard a weak and trembling voice coming from the closet.

"Al?" the unknown voice said. "Al, please say something." Finally one of the men in the group, Alex Armstrong, was brave enough to approach the blood stained white door and peer inside to find……

Roy Mustang breathed in deeply trying to keep the bile down his throat. Ever since he came back from war cases have been pretty easy. The occasional out of city job but nothing a good shower and a luxurious hotel room couldn't fix. And there was always the hard to deal with civilian who hated 'Dogs of the military', but this was unbelievable!! He usually NEVER got sick at the scene of a crime! Soon he felt a hand resting on his back and opened his eyes to see a washcloth in the hand of his partner Riza Hawkeye. She was in her blue military uniform with her hair in a bun and a gun in her pocket. (A/N: Now that's what I call a woman) He gladly took the cloth and washed his face while standing to his feet. The funny thing is he can't even remember falling to his knees. He returned the washcloth to Riza who put it in her pocket and headed into the room, Roy was right behind her.

The men found two young boys huddled together trying to hide themselves from these strangers. The metallic smell of blood filled the air as they opened the door wider. The men were filled with shock and disgust once they looked the mangled boys over. Blood was in their hair and on their clothes and cuts and bruises littered their bodies but one thing the men could never overlook was the obvious fact that the blonde boy had no left leg and no right arm. The other seemed to be fine physically but his eyes were glazed over with fear and he seemed irresponsive. Finally Alex Armstrong reaches down to pick the boys up when the blonde boy shocked everyone.

"Get the hell away from us!!!!" Ed screamed in a loud and lively voice. Once Ed screamed Riza and Roy ran towards the closet to help. Once again Armstrong reached down to take the boys outside but once his arm was close enough Ed bit down as hard as he could and drew blood. It tasted spoiled in his mouth and he wanted to puke but instead he sent the men and solitary woman a fierce glare that surprised everyone. 'How can this boy still be alive…Let alone conscious?' thought a concerned Riza.

Before anyone could speak Mustang walked forward and crouched down in front of the two boys inside the closet. And then, in the harshest voice he could produce due to the circumstances, he asked Ed, "Do you want your brother to die here?" At this Ed's eyes widened and he looked at his brother who still refused to make a sound, and reluctantly, with only one arm, Ed handed Al over to Riza who easily picked him up and ran outside to the ambulance.

Ed sighed in relief and closed his eyes, unaware he was now being carried to the ambulance outside along with his brother. All he could see was darkness and all he heard was someone's faint humming, and the feeling of someone running their hands through his golden locks.

Roy picked up the nearly unconscious Ed and slowly made his way to the ambulance. There was no need to worry. Ed wouldn't die and leave his brother behind and even though the two just met Roy knew Ed wouldn't abandon his brother. Involuntarily Roy began to hum a lullaby he had long forgotten and he ran his hand through Ed's bloodied yet still silky locks of honey colored hair while he made his way through the disheveled house. Finally he arrived at the ambulance and Ed was taken from his hands and placed on a stretcher inside the vehicle next to his younger brother.

Roy looked up and noticed a small arm and leg on a shelf in the ambulance but quickly turned his head before he got sick. The doors to the ambulance closed and the sirens turned on as it drove on the only road of the town to the nearest, but still far away, hospital. Roy finally noticed the crowd of people gathered around the orange tape but he still ignored them. Riza walked over to Roy and he barely caught what she said, "Maybe you should go home and shower off that blood."

Roy looked down and agreed, only now had he noticed the bloodied military uniform. He nodded to Riza and slowly went to his car to drive home but he had a sickening feeling. He felt as if he was abandoning the boys……..
