A/N: Here's chapter four! Thanks to those who reviewed the previous chapters. I just finished this at one in the morning (Philippine time of course). I really need some sleep and so as Roy. And I forgot to mention this in the last chapter but... Sorry if there are grammatical errors or typos...

Disclaimer: (Too lazy to type...)

She looked at the roses scattered on her bed and noticed that something was different. There were still sharp thorns, but that wasn't the problem. Their stems were coated with sticky liquid. She put on her gloves and carefully lifted a rose from her bed. She observed it and discerned that the rose was coated by a poisonous liquid made from the leaves of hemlock. She knew this because she encountered the poisonous plant several times when she was in her military years.

If she really did sleep with those roses, she'll definitely won't able to wake up. She carefully removed those roses from her bed and replaced her blanket and bed sheet.

"Someone really wants to kill me." She forced herself to sleep but always bothered by the same thought.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day she worriedly opened the door and thankfully, no roses were at her doorstep. She still didn't forget about what had happened last night. She wanted to investigate but worried that Roy might found out that she's in big trouble. She doesn't want him to be involved in this.

"No roses today?" Roy asked as she opened the door.

"That's because you threatened them." She chuckled.

They both walked to the office and Riza was still in her deep thought about what had happened last night. Roy was too sleepy that's why he didn't notice Riza's awkwardness.

He yawned several times in just a minute and Riza noticed it. "Didn't you get enough sleep?" She asked.

"Yes... I mean no! I was just... uhh... tired." He was awoken by Riza's question.

"Tired? How? What did you do last night?" She frowned.

"Uhh... N-nothing important. I just... cleaned my room last night because it was too messy..." He pretended he told her the truth.

Riza just kept quiet. Something in her was telling that he's lying.

"... And all the furniture cost less than a hundred thousand dollars." Maes had just finished explaining.

"Okay, I'll order them. Tell the others that I'll immediately give their salaries after they have completed everything in the house." Roy reminded.

"Sure. But, Roy, do you still have money for yourself? I mean, you already spent more than a million for just a gift." Maes concernedly explained.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can make her happy, I can spend everything, even my life for her."

While the two were talking outside the office, Jean noticed that Riza was in deep thought. "Something wrong?" He asked as he threw his cigarette in the thrash can.

Riza didn't hear him.

"Lieutenant? Is there something bothering you?" Jean said as he snapped his fingers in front of her.

"Huh? Uhh... Jean? Y-you're there." She immediately took the paper on her desk and read it.

"Lieutenant, don't pretend you're okay. I know something's bothering you." He remarked.

"Huh? How did you say so?" She asked as she pretended she was reading the paper.

"Well, normal people don't just read papers if they're inverted." He took the paper from her hands and turned it up side down before he gave it back. Riza was dumbfounded.

"See? Something's really bothering you." He confirmed. "Is that about the colonel?" He asked.

"Uhh... Well... uhh... yes." She decided to talk about him. "Jean... uhm... You're always at the bar every night, right?" She asked.

"Oh, yes. I'm always with Falman and Breda. Why?"

"Does he go there every night?"

"Since you became his permanent girlfriend, he stopped going to that place. Is that what was bothering you? I assure you he'll never go back there." Havoc guaranteed.

Roy and Maes finally entered the office and both proceeded to their work.

That night, he was about to call her when suddenly, his phone rang. He thought it was Riza who got tired of waiting for his call.

"Hello Riza? Sorry if you wait-" He was cut off by Maes's voice on the other line.

"Roy, this is Maes! You better come here immediately! Something terrible was happening here!" Maes nervously shouted as Roy heard noises from other men. He dropped the phone and rushed to the place.

Meanwhile, Riza was eating when she heard Black Hayate barked. She thought it was the one who threatened her. She immediately grabbed her gun in her room and rushed to the door. When she opened it, she found no one but another black rose on her doorstep. She picked it up and noticed that a note was tied on it. She untangled the note and read it.

"I'm with him tonight."

A/N: Ok that was short. I think this chapter sucks. Sorry I'm just tired. Please review! Thanks! Why is it that asterisks don't work here? Awww how sad.
