Chapter 4 Blood and Tears

The work day ended faster then Riza had anticipated. She was now getting ready to go out with Roy, even though he did supposedly cheat on her. Maybe, it was a joke? She reassured herself.

"Maybe he was just 'pulling my leg' and that maybe... Hopefully... the girl was one of his family members. " She thought out loud to herself.

She put on a skirt that went down to her ankles, and a black pair of shorts under that. 'Just in case...' She thought, and then put on a semi-frilly, button-up burnt orange shirt, and then put her military jacket over it.

"I'm not a girl for fashion... So I don't care if it doesn't match." She told Hayate, seeing as though he was staring at her. She, then, patted him on the head and left out the door.

She got out of her car at the small diner about a block from her house and walked in. The waiter saw her and walked over.

"Table for one, ma'am?" The waiter asked.

"No, I'm waiting for someone." She smiled at him. 'Hopefully.'

The waiter nodded and said. "This way then, ma'am." He, then, showed her to a table by a window in the front of the diner and left to get her some water after she was seated.

Riza looked out the window, somewhat longingly and sighed. 'The best question there is right now is... If he'll come... I don't know anymore...' She thought to herself and the waiter brought her the water she asked for which she thanked him for. 'I'll wait for a bit... He's never been more a few minutes late...'

After about 20 minutes she finally gave up and went home, defeated. She walked in her house and went to sit on the couch in her living room with Hayate next to her. She smiled sadly at him.

"He didn't come, boy." She whispered. "I guess it's really over... Did I do something? Huh, boy?"

Hayate whimpered, as if he knew exactly what she meant, and as if to say, "No." She heard a knock at the door, and she slid her .45 gun into her wondered who would visit her at 11 PM. She made her way to the door, with Hayate right behind her. She opened it, and saw Roy standing there with a bouquet of flowers.

He smiled and said, "Sorry I didn't show. A family problem occurred, and I didn't get a chance to tell you. So... I'm sorry."

He reached in his pocket and grabbed something without Riza noticing. He began to hand her the bouquet, and pointing the 'something' at her from behind it. He shot it at her, and it hit her in the arm. She screamed, causing her next door neighbor to call the military, seeing the entire occurrence. Riza grabbed her arm, and tried to grab her gun, but Roy swung his foot under her legs, knocking her over. The blood started flowing through fingers at that point. She finally managed to get her gun out of her jeans pocket, and shot a few times, purposely shooting right next to his head, because even though he did that to her, she still loved him. She started to loose consciousness after Roy kicked her in the head a few times, and stepped on her stomach.

The last thing she heard him say was, "Haha.... You're dying only three days before 'I' get home, and your birthday..." She lost consciousness completely when her subordinates, and the police arrived, but unfortunately, Roy escaped. Fuery walked into her house, or more like ran, to see her lying on the floor, covered in blood, and barely breathing. He called the hospital and the ambulance came. She was in the hospital for over three days, and the 'real' Roy came to visit her.
