Chapter 4
Breda walked over to Roy and Hawkeye, "Sir 7 more bodies were found, I think we can start moving teams into the towns and into the forests." Roy whipped away sweat from his forehead and stuck the head of the shovel into the dirt.
"Okay, I want you to move 3 teams into each forests if you need more then put more in, I want 2 teams to check the towns. Make sure we…" Roy paused for a second as he was looking down at the map Breda brought him.
"Sir?" Roy looked at him then a smile grew across his face.
"Isn't this the town Ed got his automail done in?" Hawkeye came walking over and looked over Roy's shoulder.
"Yes, why?" Roy folded up the map and gave it to Breda.
"I only want one team going into that town, and that will be our team. Oh and have Armstrong head down there and tell him to meet us at the first house off the road." Breda gave out the new orders and gathered his stuff, him and the rest of his team jumped into a car and drove to the town, when they got there they saw Armstrong sitting by a fence waiting for them, he waved at them to make them stop. Hawkeye rolled down here window so they could talk to him.
"What is it?"
"A lady and man came over to me and asked if I needed some help, so I told them I was looking for a soldier and they told me that there has been sittings of figures in the woods behind the town and that there was 2 soldiers that they found dead in the backyard of the hospital, and that there is 1 that is staying here." This caught the attention of the 5 passengers in the car.
"So did they tell you the name?" Armstrong shook his head no.
"No, the soldier doesn't want their name getting out to anyone that doesn't live here in town; they didn't even want outsiders to know what they looked like, what color their hair is eyes. They wanted no personal information getting out." Roy put a hand to his chin and looked strait out in front of the car and noticed a big group of kids running back to town, but thought nothing of it.
"So they won't say if it's a boy or a girl?" Armstrong shook his head again. "This soldier really doesn't want to be found." Just then someone tried calling them over the radio.
"Roy!" Roy picked up the radio.
"What?" The group listened closely to what had to be said.
"Roy a leg was found."
"So? Limbs are always found on a battle field."
"I know but this one looked like it was cut off, and in the pocket was a wallet." Hawkeye took the radio from Roy.
"Was there an I.D?!" They waited for a second before her question was answered.
"Yes, the name is Jean Havoc." Hawkeye dropped the radio and stare into space, Roy picked up the radio and thanked the person on the other side of the conversation.
"….Hawkeye what do you want us to do?" Hawkeye turned to face Roy and the others.
"Let's try to find the soldier that's here and if it's not Havoc then will go and check the second closeted town to the field." Roy sat back in his seat and looked around for a parking spot.
"Hey Armstrong, is there a spot to park?" Armstrong nodded and pointed to a patch of grass, "They don't care?"
"No someone was parked there earlier." Roy let the others out and parked the car; the six looked at the town and then turned to each other.
"Okay we'll go in groups of two, me and Hawkeye will check the back and work our way forward, Armstrong and Breda you two will start here on the left and work your way back, Fuery and Falman you check the right and work back." Roy and Hawkeye started to walk down the road and the other four went into the first building on their side.
"Havoc!" Jean looked over at Winry; Winry had a smile on her face.
"Call me Jean, What?" Winry waved for him to come into the house, he got up and walked over to the steps, "I'll help you up." Winry ran over and helped him up the stairs and into the house.
"Ow, what is it? Winry not so fast!" Winry pulled him into a back room and laid him down on the bed, big metal boxes with buttons and holes you plug things into, one barstool stood next to the end of the bed, and a metal tray on a small table stood at the head of the bed. "Winry wh-" But Winry wasn't there, Jean got cozy and laid there in silent, when Winry and Granny came into the room they were dressed in white, Granny had a mask over her mouth and nose. Winry had all her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"Sorry I didn't tell you Jean but, we can get started now." Jean's heart was both happy and scared.
"Winry I need you to step out for a minute so I can get him hooked up to the machine." Winry looked at her then at Jean, and then walked out. Winry walked into the kitchen and filled a bowl full of water and grabbed a couple rags, she walked back to the door and knocked.
"Can I-" Jean yelled out bloody murder. "I guess I can't come in just yet." Winry waited for a minute before Granny yelled to her that it was alright for her to come in, Winry walked around the bed and stepped over the cords and wires.
"You didn't tell me it would be that painful!" Sweat was rolling down Jean's face; Winry dipped one of the rags into the water and put it over Jean's forehead.
"Jean things get worse." Jean didn't like the sound of that, Winry passed Granny a wet rag and whipped away some of the blood from Jean's leg. "Jean this operation will take 2 to 3 hours, depending if luck is on your side." Jean started to feel uneasy cause lucks never been on his side sense he was born.
