...FMA...
Roy shuddered as he could feel Ed's blood slipping through his fingers, "Dammit Fullmetal- stay with me!" He yelled and peeked over his shoulder to see if he could spot the medic. None so far, "Come on." He urged, looking back at the young Alchemist.
Where had that come from? A moment ago he and Ed were bickering and teasing like always- and now, he was just trying to keep him alive.
He remembered the car that was driving away- who was that? The Colonel focused on the young bleeding Alchemist.
"Col-onel?" Ed whispered, "I-is that- y-you?"
"It's me Fullmetal- stay with me, you're gonna be alright- just stay with me." The Colonel said quickly- looking to see if the young Alchemist had opened his eyes. His eyes were weakly cracked looking at him.
The Colonel scooted in closer to Ed's limited view, "Fullmetal?"
"M' t- tired-"
"No!" Mustang snapped, "You stay with me! That's an order Fullmetal!" He yelled- keeping pressure on the wound. He peeked over his shoulder.
"D-don't yell-"
Mustang turned back to the kid, "Stay with me Fullmetal- I can see the medics." He said and tapped Ed's cheek- gaining the young boys weak attention.
"Col-onel-"
"Stay with me Ed-" He was practically begging as the medics ran up.
As the medics showed up one of them took over keeping pressure on Ed's wound, "We need to get him to a hospital."
Mustang nodded as the stretcher was brought up then sat back in shock as they loaded the young boy onto it. Another medic looked over at him and helped him up, "Let's go."
...FMA...
Ed was quickly taken into surgery with a team of doctors and Roy was taken to a checkup room.
Mustang's nurse was pretty cute- but for once the Flame Alchemist didn't seem to care as multiple thoughts ran through his mind at once.
Soon he was cleared and Hawkeye entered the room, "Colonel?"
The Colonel looked at the Lieutenant, "It's not mine." He said- seeing the sniper staring at the blood on his uniform. The sniper nodded- telling him that she knew, "Any word on Fullmetal?"
"None yet sir." Hawkeye said and held out a fresh change of clothes, "Alphonse will be here soon sir- I suggest you get changed."
Roy nodded and took the clothes and Hawkeye left- giving her superior some room to get changed.
Once Roy was changed he wandered out to the waiting room where the rest of his team stood nervously.
Al sat silently on a chair next to the group, Mustang knew that if he could the young boy in the armor would be sobbing. Mustang put his hand on the armor's shoulder, giving him an encouraging nod- at least he hoped it was.
"Is my brother going to make it?" Al asked quietly.
Mustang nodded, "He'll be fine- He's the Fullmetal Alchemist- he won't let this beat him." Mustang said, hiding all doubt from him as he gave the young boy a confident smirk. It must've worked because after a moment the young boy nodded and sat up straight.
Hours passed and the group stood in silence the blonde haired smoker peeked over at the Colonel- who stared at the surgery doors silently. He sighed and looked away- wishing that he had a cigarette to help relieve his tension.
Finally one of the surgeons walked out, "The Fullmetal Alchemist?"
Anybody who had sat down immediately sat up, "Is my brother okay?" Al quickly asked.
"He's stable, right now he is resting." The surgeon said, "He is suffering from a shot to his back just an inch above his heart which rickoshea through his body before exiting through the front between the seventh and eighth rib. He lost a lot of blood and suffered from shock and a popped lung." The doctor said.
"Can I see him?' Al asked timidly.
"He's resting right now. You can go ahead and see him though."
Al nodded and followed the doctor to his brother's room, Hawkeye looked over to the Colonel, "Go." was all she needed to tell him and he took off after the doctor.
As Mustang entered the room he held his breath when he saw the small pale body lying on the bed with tubes attached to the boy and a breathing mask placed over his nose and mouth. He was still asleep and was breathing quietly.
Al sat down silently in the chair next to the wall and the Colonel stepped up next to the bed looking down at his young subordinate, "Do you know who did this?" Al asked.
"We're looking for the person-" He said out loud but was mentally cursing. They had no clues on who the person was- nobody was able to get even a license plate, "We'll find whoever did this."
And when we do I'll burn them into a crisp...
...FMA...
Al sat silently in the hospital room as his brother slept- knowing that he wouldn't be happy when he woke up. He looked over at his brother, how had this happened? It wasn't like Ed had gone out looking for trouble like it was normally- he had been attacked, and that made Alphonse even more angry then he already was.
I should've gone with him- he mentally cursed himself, I could've shielded him- I could've-
"There was nothing you could have done." Hawkeye said as she walked into the room. Bewildering the suit of armor- how had she known, it wasn't like he could show emotion.
Al looked over to his brother, "But-"
"No-" Hawkeye peeked over, "The Colonel was standing right next to him when it happened. Nobody saw it coming, but there is something that you can do right now."
Al stood up, wanting to be able to help his brother, "What is it?"
"Right now we are trying to keep it quiet that Edward is alive- however that won't last too long. The attacker may come back- Edward will be kept under security until the attacker is caught. You don't sleep, so do you think that you can stay with him?"
Al quickly nodded, he wasn't going anywhere.
Hawkeye nodded and looked down at Ed, she quietly flicked some hair out of his face, "Sleep well Edward." Then she turned and walked out peeking back at Alphonse, "Keep him safe."
"I will."
...FMA...
"Dammit." The Colonel cursed after he set down the phone. He folded his hands and rested his face in them- growling to himself.
"Sir?" Hawkeye looked over at him.
"Just as I thought- nobody was able to identify the attacker." The Colonel sat back- he may have been acting calm but his entire team knew that he was the exact opposite. However nobody said anything- knowing one more thing would make the Colonel snap, literally.
The Colonel looked out the window then picked up his phone again Dialing the number as quickly as he could after a moment of silence besides the ringing on his phone the entire office could hear the click of the phone being picked up and the familiar voice answered the phone, "Yo Roy-boy! What's up you never call-"
"Hughes-" Mustang interrupted, "I need your help."
...FMA...
Ed groaned, feeling a full pain throughout his whole body, what happened? I feel like someone ran me over several times...
"Ed?" a familiar voice said next to him. After a moment Ed realized that his eyes were closed he slowly opened them and was met with empty welcome of a hospital ceiling.
Ed scowled- he hated hospitals.
"Brother! You're awake!" Ed looked over at his younger brother who would've been in tears of he could.
"Al... What happened? I don't remember the assignment being that bad."
"Do you not remember brother?" Al asked worryingly.
Ed drowned then it hit him as he remembered. He had about to give the Colonel-bastard the smack down of his life when he heard a gunshot followed by a sharp pain. He felt someone tackle him to the ground before everything came too blurry to remember. "I remember a gunshot..."
"You were shot brother." Al whispered quietly, "You almost died. If the Colonel hadn't been there you would be dead."
Ed sighed, he hated being indebted to the Colonel- but he couldn't leave his brother alone. "Did they get whoever shot me?"
"They're still looking for the person. Whoever did it shot you then took off before anybody has the chance to identify the person."
"So that's why there's guards out my door," Ed said- being able to see a ruff of the military blue uniform in the doorway. So nodded silently in response. Ed sighed and shifted- wincing at the full pain. "So how long am I in here for this time?"
"A few weeks." The doctor answered as he walked in, "I'm glad that you are awake Fullmetal Alchemist."
Ed nodded as the doctor checked his vitals, "You're lucky to be alive."
Ed nodded once again, keeping the conversation small- another thing he didn't like, nosey doctors.
The doctor started asking questions about how he felt, but like everything else Ed kept his answers short.
The doctor left and after a moment there was a knock at the door, Ed looked over as the Colonel stepped in, "Al- how about you get some Alchemy books for Ed, he's gonna be here for a little while we both know that the only way to keep him still for more than five minutes is to have him dissect one of those."
Al hesitated, then got the idea and nodded, "I'll be right back."
Ed nodded and watched his brother leave then he turned to Mustang, "What was that?"
"How are you feeling Fullmetal?" the Colonel asked as he pulled a chair up to the bed and sat down.
"Like I was just shot." Ed said then looked into the Colonel's eyes. "What's up?"
"Fullmetal, have you noticed anybody following you recently?" Ed was surprised by how serious the Colonel's voice was at that moment.
"Wha- no..." he stopped- remembering the man at the train station.
The Colonel seemed to be able to detect that Ed remembered something, "What is it Fullmetal?"
"There was a man at the train station. I'm not sure if he got on the same train as us but-"
"Did you see what this man looked like?" Mustang cut in.
Ed frowned, "He was tall- with a brown coat with it's hood up. I couldn't see his face."
"So you think it's a he?"
"Judging by the build, yeah." Ed said then turned back to the Colonel, "Why are you asking this?"
"I was just mailed pictures of you on your last assignment." The Colonel said and watched Ed's face as it turned to shock.
"Somebody took pictures of me?" Ed said, then he looked around- feeling slightly creeped out. Was somebody watching him now? He looked back at the Colonel, "Do you think that whoever took pictures of me is the same guy who shot me?"
The Colonel nodded, "Probably." He watched as Ed looked over at the far wall, he reached out and touched his shoulder- gaining the young alchemist's attention. "You get some rest Fullmetal, and don't worry- we'll find this guy."
Ed was silent- he looked away and slowly nodded, Mustang stood up and reached out and messed up Ed's hair. Ed scowled up at Mustang who smirked down at him. Then he turned and left just as Alphonse returned with three books in his arms, "Keep an eye on him." Mustang said then peeked over at Ed one more time. Afterwards he quickly left.
...FMA...
Hawkeye stood out by the car as the Colonel approached, "How is he?"
"Scared." Mustang sighed, "He did notice somebody watching him at the previous train station. Didn't really see what he looked like, the person was a tall and was male judging by the build."
"That's more than we have right now." Hawkeye pointed out, "What shall we do now sir?"
"We'll find this bastard." The Colonel growled.
A car pulled up next to them and it's window rolled down to reveal Havoc, "Oh good- so you were heading back."
"What is it Second Lieutenant?"
Havoc sighed and held up and envelope, "You got mail."
...FMA...
"Bastard." The Colonel growled and threw the photos on the table, they were of Ed and the Colonel just before Ed was shot. In the photo Ed had his fist raised in the air and was yelling at the Colonel- who was smirking back at him, unaware of what was just about to happen. "So that was the same man."
He flipped the envelope over and frowned- yet again no return address or anything to give any hints of where it came from- not that he was expecting anything. "So nobody saw who dropped this off?"
"Nope." Havoc sighed, "It was dropped off in the Eastern Command mailbox just like the last one."
"Well I want eyes on every mailbox in East City."
"That's a lot of mail boxes." Breda pointed out.
"Well I don't get to rest until this Bastard is caught and neither do you- so you better hope we catch him soon." The Colonel said and picked up another photo- frowning.
The team looked at each other, they knew that Ed getting shot scared the Colonel- in fact it scared all of them- they had almost lost a member of their team. "We'll find this guy." Havoc said out loud and the others nodded and immediately got to work.
...FMA...
The next day Mustang immediately went to visit Fullmetal after work. He walked into the hospital and headed towards the room where he could hear Ed arguing with a doctor about something, although it was hard to hear what. The Colonel smirked- at least he could tell that Fullmetal was feeling better.
He walked up as the doctor left the room, "Oh good Colonel Mustang, you're here."
"Fullmetal giving you too much hassle?" Mustang asked.
"No more than usual-" The doctor peeked back, "Although Major Elric's condition has taken a bad turn."
Mustang looked over, "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be some more internal bleeding. He's going to need another surgery so we can patch that part up- that will make his hospital stay about a week longer." The doctor said.
Fullmetal isn't going to be happy about that- then he realized that the information he had just learned was probably what they were arguing about. He sighed and nodded, "When is the surgery?"
"We're going to knock him out in a few minutes- but if you want to talk to him go on ahead." The doctor said then left. Mustang sighed once again then walked into Ed's room.
Ed was still lying down- but he still seemed tired. "How it going Fullmetal?"
"Doc said that I'm still bleeding on the inside. He said that they're going to put me through a second surgery." Ed said and Mustang sat down.
"Any new news?" Ed asked.
Mustang sat back, "I was mailed photos of just before you were shot." He watched Ed's face for a moment then continued, "Judging by the pictures they were taken by the same man who shot you."
"So he took a picture before he shot me? That's sick." Ed scowled and winced at the dull pain running through his body. Mustang peeked back as the doctor walked in.
"We're going to take him to surgery." The doctor said.
Ed peeked over at Mustang who stood up and messed up his hair with a soft smile, "I'll be back tomorrow."
Ed nodded and watched the Colonel leave.
...FMA...
Mustang spent the next three days in the same routine- go to work then visit Fullmetal in the hospital. He would stay with him for a few hours then he would return home.
"Anything new?" Ed asked.
"Nothing- I have my men watching every mailbox in the city, he hasn't made another move." Mustang scowled, "But he'll move soon- and when he does we'll catch him." And I'll burn that bastard to ashes. He thought in his mind.
Ed peeked over at Mustang. Mustang stood up to leave and Ed quickly grabbed his sleeve. "What is it Fullmetal?"
Ed didn't look at him, his bangs hid his eyes, "Colonel-"
Mustang frowned and sat on his bed, "What's wrong Fullmetal?"
"It's just- what does this guy want with me?"
"No idea." Mustang reached out and put his hand on the top of the boy's head. "But I promise I won't let him touch you."
Ed stared into his superiors eyes for a moment and then he slowly nodded, "Mustang?"
"Yes?"
"Can- can you close the window? I feel like I'm being watched." Ed said while looking out the window. Mustang peeked over and nodded, then he stood up and closed the shutters- looking out to see if anybody was looking in. Then he looked back at Fullmetal once the shutters were closed, "Is that better?"
Ed hesitated then nodded, "Colonel-"
Mustang stood next to his bed.
"Thanks."
The Colonel nodded, "Get some rest Fullmetal."
...FMA...
Mustang sighed as he pulled into his driveway and shut off the car. He got out of the car, closing the car and wandered up to his door.
It took him a minute to unlock his door but when he did he opened the door and stepped inside- stepping on something.
He took a step back and looked down at his feet at an envelope on the floor, "That son of a-" He quickly pulled on his glove and turned on his light. Then he searched his house and found nothing- but the back door wide open.
He immediately picked up the phone after a couple of rings the familiar voice of Hawkeye answered the phone, "Lieutenant."
"Colonel?"
"He was in my house." Mustang said as he opened the envelope, looking at the pictures.
"Are you alright sir?"
Mustang looked at the pictures of Mustang sitting with the Ed in the hospital- he could see Al just entering the room. The picture had been taken the first day Mustang had visited Ed the photo had been taken through the window. "I'm fine, but we have a problem- the attacker knows that Ed is alive."
