Chapter 2

------------------------

General Roy Mustang walked down the filthy corridor, his feet and the persons in front were the only sound being made as they walked hurriedly, almost a sprint, in single file down the rat infested Xing prisoner camp. The strong copper smell of blood almost making him gag.

The man in front of him wore the same blue uniform as he. The only difference was the white ignition gloves with his flame array on the back of hands that Roy wore.

As the adrenalin ran though his veins, he only had one thing on his mind. Ed.

The moment he had heard that Ed could be in this place he had almost started a war again trying to get clear-rents to storm the place, but the higher ups had made him wait any other month, on top of the other 2 there already was, so they could scope the place out. They had found it to be active by a few Xing people who seemed to be non-military personal.

And still Roy had to wait for the Xing government to give permission for the storm of this prison he stood in now. After days battling in court Xing had given their permission for the 'rescue' but so far they had only found dead soldiers killed in the most horrific ways.

Roy sighed heavily as they reached the last door, on the last floor, on the deepest underground corridor.

The man in front of him, his best friend in fact, Maes Hughes stopped and positioned himself flat backed on one side of the door, gun raised and nodded at his long time friend.

Roy walked to the door, while taking the keys he had found in the guardroom and finding the appropriate key for the door's lock. He slipped the key into the rusty, discoloured slot.

He prepared himself for the worst; his hope of finding Edward had been vastly dissipating after each door that opened, each dead body he'd seen. This door was his last hope.

He turned the key and pushed the heavy door open on its rusty hinges, to which the door gave a loud groan of protest, spilling a sickly yellow light into the window cells only occupant, chained to the wall.

Roy let out a gasp of surprise and shock, drooping the keys on the floor and running towards the man he used to know so well.
