Rose woke up in what she thought was a bed. "Where am I?" She lifted her head to see that she was in a small white room with Doctors equipment inside it. "A hospital, What am I"... Suddenly a soldier walked in and noticed she was up. "Huh, oh good your awake, please come with me."

He said as he grabbed her arm and led her out of the room. "Wait, what's going on where am I!" She shouted dryly as she tried to pull away which was pretty pathetic considering she had no strength left. "Stop struggling I have orders to take you to see Brigadier General Grand as soon as your conscious now come with me!" He tugged at her arm roughly pulling her along with him while she struggled to get away.

"No stop what's going on!" she slapped at him causing him to let her go as she ran. "Get back here!" He shouted as he ran to try and grab for her. "I have to get out of here, I have to find the Elrics!"

She thought as she ran down a hall only to run smack dab in the middle of a big man who instantly grabbed her neck lifting her off the ground. "What is the meaning of this!" He shouted. "Brigadier General sir!" The soldier saluted as he stuttered out what had happened.

"Well you see sir the girl woke up and when I tried to get her she."… But he was interrupted. "Save your stories for the paperwork Johnson now get out of my sight, and you!" He addressed Rose while grabbing her arm in a deadlock grip. "Your coming with me!"

He growled as he dragged her along with him down to a room she figured was his office judging by all the nice furniture and then threw her unceremoniously into a chair. "Ow, what do you want with me?" She questioned shakily. "I'm the one asking the questions here girl, now tell me how you know the Fullmetal brat!" He growled at her pointing sharply demanding respect.

Rose didn't seem to listen to his question and shouted. "Let me out of here you have no right to treat me like this!" This only seemed to piss him off as he diminished the distance between them and grabbed her throat with his metal arm. "Tell me what I want to know now girl or I promise you I can make your life very unpleasant!" Rose gazed at his metal arm and remembered Edwards fake limbs.

Rose choked and tried to speak but that just made it harder to breathe as she coughed out spit that landed on Grand's face. "Why you"… In mere seconds Rose was filled with a pain that could only be described as Hell. "AAAAAH!" Rose's scream could be heard across the entire Headquarters as soldiers suddenly stopped their work and gasped knowing exactly what was happening and not having the courage to do anything about it. "No please stop!"

Rose thought she was about to die as her back felt like it was fire from the man beating her around in rage. "Why you little brat, I'm going to make you suffer more then you could ever imagine!" As he rose his foot to step on her back someone smashed through the door of his office. "What is the meaning of this."… Before the man could even bring his foot down a single snap was heard followed by a flurry of flame suddenly consumed the man just before Rose passed out in pain. "YAAAAA!"

The Brigadier General screamed from both pain and surprise that Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang had just barged into his office when he wasn't even supposed to be at Central. "Mustang, what are you doing here!" The sizzled General gasped as he began to smoke rather painfully. "Just stopping by to deliver that report to you on the the Fullmetal General, but from the looks of things it looks like your going to have quite a report to do yourself." He said signaling for some of the men that he had brought with him to pick up the girl.

"You had orders to stay in East Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel, and for this treasonous act ill see you hanged!" He declared raising his mechanical arm to fire at Mustang. "I think not General." Mustang coolly lifted his own hand seconds before Grand with his fingers ready to snap. "Grr, you will pay for this once the Fuhrer finds out about this!"

"That won't be necessary General." A calm relaxed voice spoke from behind Mustang instantly demanding salute from every man in the room. "Fuhrer!" Brigadier General Grand instantly spoke trying to weed his way out of this. "Now now General I already know about the commotion caused in here today, but what I do not know about is a certain girl that was said to have been found in the desert and brought here under your orders."

Mustang didn't waste time in scooping up the fragile form of Rose. "Sir I believe that she needs medical attention." Mustang looked like he was about to sweat to death while Grand looked like a burnt hot dog. "At ease Colonel, I am placing this girl under your direct supervision Mustang. I am confident she will be safest with you."

Grand looked like he was about to choke to death while Mustang returned to his normal cocky self making a mental note to call Edward a bean the next morning. "Well as for you General." The Fuhrer directed his attention to Grand. "I believe that this office could use a thorough cleaning." He pointed out the dust and ash covering the entire room.

"That is all gentlemen, oh and Mustang report to my office tomorrow morning 8:00 sharp." Mustang gulped as he used his free hand to salute. Grand however clenched his teeth making a mental note to have Mustang DEALT WITH once he over through the Fuhrer…
