The Aftermath

#1

Around 11 in the morning someone (Fuery) stumbled around with too much paperwork for Roy Mustang (it's his own damn fault-Riza) and purposely (accidentally tripped over Breda's innocently out of place foot) dropped the paperwork on Mustang's fingers. Fingertips if you want the real truth.

"Hawkeye…" Roy moaned.

"Get back to work." She responded evenly without a glance upwards.

"But my fingers really hurt! They just might be broken!"

"…"

"I think this warrants for a quick stop at the Nurse's office? See ya!" he said as he jumped out of his chair and made a run for it.

"Hold it." A stern voice said from behind the door as Riza silently put her gun back in its holster.

"Ah, and who might this young woman be at- Oh. It's you Catalina." He finished sourly.

"Riza, you know you have every right to shoot him?"

"Hn." She smirked at her friend's pissed off face.

"Don't 'hn' me! I just came by to rescue you from paperwork by offering to take you to lunch!" Catalina shot back.

"I'll go!" Mustang jumped in.

"I thought you had broken fingers sir. If that's the case then go on down to the nurse, but, you're not going to lunch with us." Riza said slyly.

"Oh that's not the case!" he immediately protested. The other men in the office had the decency to look away from their begging colonel.

"Then finish your work sir." She replied warningly.

"But the only hand that's hurt is my writing hand."

"Finish your paperwork sir, you're faking anyway."

"No I'm not!"

"You are. I've known you a very long time. So get back to work sir."

"…"

"You heard me. I'll be back in an hour and I expect to see your stack of paperwork, COMPLETED."

"And if I don't want to?"

"I think you know the answer to that. Fuery, Falman, you guys are in charge while I'm gone. Not this jokester under ANY circumstances." She stated while pointing to said man with "broken fingers"

The men nodded in response for fear of being shot. The door closed slowly behind her. As they leaned in their seats to make sure it fully closed the failed to see the Colonel sneak out the window to grab his gloves from his car. (Riza has 'em under lock and key in her desk and she KNOWS when you've gone through her things.)

Click. The door was fully closed, and the colonel gone.

"FALMAN WE'RE GONNA DIEEEEE!" Fuery freaked when he saw the lack of a certain Flame Alchemist.

"No we're not~" said Havoc placing a reassuring hand on the young man.

"HAVOC! THE LT. IS THE HAWKS-FREAKIN-EYE! WE. ARE. GOING. TO. DIEEEE." He hissed in response.

"Dude. Take a chill pill." Breda mumbled before eating more of his ham sandwich.

"I WILL NOT! NOT UNTIL THE- oh hi sir."

SNAP

"SIR! Oh fml… I'm gonna be murdered today. Nice knowing everyone…"

"Fuery."

"Yes sir?"

"Calm. Down." Mustang said carefully not wanting to cause more chaos.

"Ok sir." He responded before grabbing a stack of papers and going to mope in a corner.

-time lapse-

"Zzzzzz…"

"Fuery don't you dare start your hysterics again, in fact you should be preparing your instant escape from this place to avoid the Lt." Falman whispered to the shaking man.

"Reporting back for- Fuery, Falman. What happened?" Hawkeye asked sweetly.

"He fell asleep ma'am. He did sign one stack of papers though." Falman responded.

"I see. And the rest of you did your work it seems. You do realize you're free to take a break?"

The men shook their heads no.

"Then go ahead. I'd like to speak with the Colonel anyway." She said evenly.

With that, they practically bolted from the room. Meanwhile Hawkeye took out her gun, and aimed.

"Mustang. Get up." she said darkly.

He only mumbled something about alchemy.

Click.

"Zzzzz…"

BANG!

A loud scream was heard throughout the building followed by an abnormal silence. The newbies who were running errands for their superiors stopped by the door in which the scream emanated from. All they heard was scribbling and the sounds of a gun being cleaned.

Owari~
