In the beginning of the afternoon, Breda and Flamna had joined the three of them.

- So, I'll sum up what we know for now about this group, they seem to call themselves "Amestris purifiers". They have been formed just after the Ishval war, until the Promised day they were totally accepted by the government. Once Grumman became Fuhrer and Mustang started rebuilding Ishval, their activities became illegals. Some of them got arrested, most of them couldn't be identified. They were quiet for the previous years, but it's been a few months since they started their actions again. In the previous months, they've been accused of attacks on Ishbal people, rapes, and murders. Our objective will be to try and identify the leaders of this group and to dissolve it.

- Are they all here in Central? Breda asked

- No, they are mostly in big cities, other team are working in the other big Amestrian cities, we are only in charge of Central, though, if we can get information about the members in other cities, we will pass these information to the teams in charge.

- Do we have any idea about how to find the leaders?

- I thought the best way would be to infiltrate the group, one of us will have to act as one of their members to be integrated and try to find some information about the leaders.

- Who could be able to do that?

- I can't do such things, I'm known by a lot of people, they would identify me quickly and I doubt they would trust me as someone who hate Ishvalians.

- Yes, I guess you're right, I suggest Falman, he's the most capable of us when it comes to collect information. Breda suggested

- Yes, I thought about him too, do you accept First Lieutenant Falman

- Yes sir, but, how are we going to get them to notice us

- We achieved to got one phone number which seems to be affiliated with them thanks to a coded announce sent to the newspaper, they are searching for new members. You'll be applying as Alexander Waller, your father was killed in the Ishval war and you are convinced this war was only caused by Ishvalians, that'll justify why you hate them. While in this mission, you won't come to the HQ and report everyday through letters that you'll put in the mail box of apartment 23 in your building, it is empty, and we requested the use of the mail box.

- What about us?

- Breda, you'll take a few soldier of the Investigation Department and investigates with the information you got from Falman.

Brosh, Ross, you two will have to monitor two people we highly suspect of being part of the group, and quite high ranked members. Mr and Mrs Brant, they are owners of a big industrial firm, and have a big influence. Our information suspects them highly of taking part in anti-Ishval actions. You should also got a few other soldiers to make monitoring shifts.

I'll have to coordinate all our actions. You should start your missions as soon as possible.

- Yes sir

And so, all of them left Edward's office, going to recruit the few men they needed. Once it was done, Brosh and Ross went to the Brant's house to start their monitoring. Falman was figuring out how to seem really to hate Ishvalians with Breda's help. Edward was still trying to analyze all the data they got in all the folders they had gathered about the "Amestris Purifiers".


In just a few days, Falman had achieved to join the purifiers, he was gathering a lot of information. With all these, Breda was leading investigation. But, even if they identified some members, they weren't arresting anyone yet, not to get them aware that they were infiltrated. Falman was really good in his role, he was convincing them and they trusted him, he was given more and more responsibilities.

Though, on their side, Brosh and Ross hadn't such good results, they hadn't seen anything suspicious about the couple they were monitoring, except for the fact that, even if they had a daughter, neither Brosh, neither Ross had seen her yet.

In the middle of an afternoon though about two weeks after the investigation started, Edward received a call from Ross

- Sir, Second Lieutenant Maria Ross on the line

- Yes Lieutenant, what is it?

- I got something on the Brants, they are holding a meeting tonight at their house with a lot of people we already identified as members of the purifiers, including Falman.

- I guess that'll be our chance to get some proof of their role in the organization.

- Yes, we have set up microphones in the house with Fuery's help, we can hear everything, and the whole meeting will be recorded.

- Perfect. I'll join you in a few minutes, I just need to drive there. When is the meeting supposed to start?

- In about 3 hours

- And where have you set up your base to listen to it

- In a vacant house just a few streets away.

- Perfect, I'll join you there, we'll have a team ready to arrest all of them if we can get enough of the heads of the organization.

- We'll see you there then sir

So Ed called Mustang immediately

- Mustang, Edward Elric on the line

- What do you need Full Metal?

- I need a few soldiers ready to intervene in three hours

- What for?

- I think I told you about the affair I am on right now with Breda, Falman, Brosh and Ross

- Yes you have

- Then, tonight we might be able to catch at the same time all the leaders of the "Amestris Purifiers"

- Ok, I'll get you some men ready for action as soon as possible

- Thank you

Two hours later, Edward and Breda had joined Brosh and Ross. They had place around thirty soldiers all around the house, ready to intervene when needed quickly to catch all of the people in the meeting as fast as possible, this was going to be a tough night. Now they just had to wait for one more hour.
