Chapter 3

xxxxx Al's POV xxxxx

Brother and I walked up the halls of the motel, brother, Winry and I were currently staying at. Our rooms were on the third floor, witch happened to be the last level of the building. As we started to climb the first flight of stairs, I instinctively began to study my surroundings. In doing so I realized that not much had changed since brother and I had left. The motel we were staying at was an old building mostly made of bricks. The floor had many cracks, the walls had wallpaper peeling off and the stairs were rickety and unstable. over all; the motel was very ramshackle. The motel was ironically called, Motel Muerte. Earlier, when brother, Winry and I checked in, I asked the receptionist why the motel was called motel death in, Spanish, She said that Muerte was the surname of the motels first owner, Brandon Muerte. Looking around the ramshackle building all I could think was, 'Motel Death, sounds like the perfect name for a place like this'.

Brother and I continued climbing, reaching the top of the second flight of stairs when brother stopped abruptly, causing me to bump in to him.

"Brother! why'd you st-"

"Be quiet! Do you smell that?" brother whispered

Being ghouls, brother and I have an animistic sense of smell, meaning that we can easily pick up on peoples scents. Concentrating I focused on my sense of smell. in little to no time, I picked up on Winrys scent and then a stranger's coming from the same area. Brother and I started to dash up the stairs. Once we reached the bedroom, Winry was staying in, brother and we leaned against the wall, listening for any sound coming from the other side.

"H-hello, Mr. Hughes it's a pleasure to meet you" I heard, Winrys nervous voice from the bedroom

"The pleasure is all mine" came the strangers cheerful voice.

" I'm sure that you've heard of two ghouls, who have been roaming the streets lately. Normally, the CCG wouldn't get too involved with non-binge-eaters but you see, theses ghouls have been troublesome in more... political ways. The two have been described as young males, most likely in their teen years. They also wear nearly identical masks are both completely made out of metal and cover their whole face, except for their eyes. There's also a strange symbol painted on the masks in black paint. The symbol is that of a snake draped over the top end of a cross with a crown directly above the cross and wings on both sides of the crown. However one mask has a cat nose and whiskers carved into the mask."

"Mr. Hughes, why are you telling me all of this?" Winry asked

there was a brief pause.

"Because, one of our investigators has reported seeing these ghouls retreating to this area, a few nights ago". The stranger now known as, Mr. Hughes answered.

I looked over at brother. As expected, his posture was stiff and his jaw was set. I knew what he was thinking without asking. The conversation went on for about a half an hour longer, Mr. Hughes would ask Winry questions about brother and I and in return, Winry would claim to not know who we are. By the time the questions had stopped, brother and I had made a mad dash for the window. We watched as a man with, short raven hair, green eyes and glasses walked into the hallway. This man was obviously, .

Brother and I waited until we could no longer see before entering the room.

Roy Mustang, sat at his desk, at the New York CCG headquarters. The phone on his desk started to ring for the millionth time this morning. Fearing that his best friend, Mase Hughes was on the other line calling to talk about his darling daughter Elicia, he hesitantly reached for his phone

"Hughes, if this is about Elicia I don't want to hear it!" Roy yelled angrily.

"Roy, I have a lead on the new ghouls" Hughes said in a serious tone

"Tell me" Roy said in an equally serious tone

"The ghouls have just vandalized the side of the south american CCG headquarters in what we believe is blood. The words 'equivalent exchange' were written on the side of the building in blood. One of our investigators saw them retreating to a motel called, Motel Muerte with a young teenage girl. We have reason to believe that there next target will be the CCG headquarters in, California."Hughes explained

"Thank you,Hughes. I'll inform the CCG headquarters in California, asap."Mustang said

"Hey, Roy. before i forget to tell you, get a wi-"

Roy hung up before his best friend could finish

" Looks like we're going to California" Roy responded
