Hi again everyone. I am very sorry that it has taken me so long to write this chapter. Hope you'll like it, though.
He had done much worse things than this in his life. I mean, what's kidnapping someone compared to killing lots of people just because it was fun? So what did it matter if he kidnapped someone? He was desperately in love with the blonde woman he had met in town. At first he had thought of killing her as well but now he had changed his mind. She was so beautiful, he thought. She was strong and didn't get upset for small things. She seemed pretty smart, too. And her brown eyes... He could stare into them forever and even longer, it was like magic that kept his eyes glued onto hers. There was just one thing that prevented him from getting in touch with the woman of his dreams. And that was the flame-colonel. Not that the alchemist could do anything to him now, when he had knocked him unconscious and tied him against one of the many water pipes under Central City.
It was already late so Lieutenant Hawkeye got a bit surprised when she heard someone nocking on her door. Lots of thoughts about who it could be ran through her head. Maybe it was HIM?! Dressed in only her pyjamas she went to open the door. But it was not Roy Mustang who had come back.
It was Barry the Chopper.
"Hi missy" he said with a voice that sounded both happy and somewhat weird, as if he was trying to surppess a laugh.
"Umm... hi?" she replied, a bit confused. "What are you doing here this late?"
"Just wanted to see how you were a beautiful evening like this.... the stars are shining so brightly....."
"I'm fine. "
"I just.... wondered if.. you'd like to go for a walk."
"Are you embarrassed?" she asked. If she wouldn't have known that he was just a suit of armor she could have sworn that he was blushing.
"No..no!! I've just caught a cold! That's all! Nothing else!!"
"Hey... you're just a suit of armor. You can't catch a cold."
"Well.. yeah. Are you coming or not?" Barry asked.
"I'm sorry.. no. It's already late and I have to go to work tomorrow", she replied with a sigh.
Barry left without saying another word.
He had never fallen in love before. But now, the more she despised him, the more he came to like her. She was strong, independant and on top of that, she looked so damn good. But now he didn't know what to do. Should he just give up on her? No, it was still to early.
Hawkeye was a little confused. What was all that about? She definitely didn't want to go for a walk/date with Barry the chopper. She was Roy's forever, at least as long as he wanted her. Wherever he was right now, she hoped that he hadn't forgotten her. If he even was alive. She quickly shook that thought out of her head. He wasn't dead. He couldn't die! Not him... the flame alchemist.
Suddenly she came up with an idea. What if Barry the chopper knew anything about his whereabouts? She decided to go look for Barry the next day after she had finished her work.
