A beat up envelope contains a decoded letter and a secret message.
Hello Fullmetal,
Do I need even offer to acknowledge the completion, late though it is? In whatever state Alphonse was made manifest, I am assured your dedication to his every need for a proper and worldly means is satisfied. Though I am currently in fact no longer effective as a colonel; I wish only the absolute most for the people that you love.
Regards to you,
Roy Mustang.
Carefully pulling apart the envelope a messy scrawl is revealed; hidden in the lower right hand corner.
Deal is made; AW safe; comply
After a few transmutations to remove glue from the paper, a secret communication is discovered, hidden in the seams of the envelop in the same left-hand scrawl revealing Mustang's secret communication.
W & A – I don't know what the Colonel's planned, but we can trust him. A large amount of $ is hidden –you'll figure out where. Use it as you need it. If all else fails, go to our other allies, including those newly acquitted.
-E-
Winry and Alphonse exchange glances before leaving the table, each to pack their respective bags.
