Addison walked with jack along the outskirts of a small town and sighed to herself. She had been gone a week and already half the military must be looking for her. The only thing she could do was change her look but, how was the question. She could cut off her hair that was one step. She could leave jack in someone pasture, and lead them on a flase trail. New cloths, maybe she could try and pull off a boy. Yea that would probably work. A simple farm boy from a small eastran town. She took out a small knife she carried with her and grabbed her ponytail. In one clean swipe she went from mid-back length hair to two inches in the back. She walked around for another hour or so until she found a nice little farm to leave Jack at. "I'm sorry boy, they'll have you home soon ok" he nuzzled her and then walked back in the pasture. She soon went into town without her fathers cloak on, it was far to noticeable. She came to a small thrift store and slipped in before anyone could see her. She quickly found a set of simple boys clothes and tucked them into her bag, left money on a back counter and slipped back out the door.

Back in Dublith Winry was in a nevous panic. "Where could she have gone, I mean not even a note. Nothing!" Riza sat in the other conner of the room and watched Winry pace back and forth tears ocassionaly rolling down her face.

"Winry, calm down, please. At this point Roy has half the military looking for her. She wont be able to get far on her own without someone seeing."She said soothingly.

"No, I know my daughter she'll make it to Drachma before the military has a clue wheer she is. She is truly her fathers daughter" she collapsed into the chair nearest her. Winry knew now that she wasn't safe. It wasn't just the fact that her fifteen year lod daughter had run off, it was the fact that when Ed had left it was because someone or something was after him and his family. Here they had ungodly amounts of protection but now, her baby girl was out there on her own ready to be swalloed into this unsightly world.

"Your probably right, there is no use in beating around the bush. She is a smart girl and just like Ed. She'll be to Xing before we can get her but, she is strong also, just like Ed. She'll get there safe and sound for the most part." Just then Chance walked in the door, hay covred his front.

"Hey mom, hows it going?"he said. He was the only one who knew why Addison had left and was starting to worry he'd be getting the heat soon.

"We have nothing, no leads but, it has only been a week." Riza saw the hint of guilt in her sons eyes and being the all knowing mother she was she knew he wasn't telling them something. "Chance did Addison say anyhting to you at her birthday party? Anything at all?"

"Well she wasn't happy that Ed would have the odasity to send her something but be absentie for 10years but, other than that not much. Who can blame her though."

"Did she say anyhting about a place she might like to go to?" she was giving him the stare down.

"Not a place persay but she did mention something about travleing and how lovely would look this time a year." Chance was not a good liar.

"How lovely would look this time a year? Really? From what I have heard from Fallman this time a year a person would have no hope of reaching the half way point on the mountin.

"Really? Well maybe she really likes cold and the snow.....hehehe....ummm I think that I forgot the chickens....i'll be right back in...hehe" he tried to side step out the door but Riza wsn't gonna let him get away that easily.

"Chance we don't have time for these games. Where did Addison go?"

"I have no clue where!! I swear!"

"Yes you do Chance if we don't find out soon she could be killed. Thats the blunt reality of this, so I'll ask you again; where is she?"

"I have no clue where all I know is she went to find someone. I can't tell you who but lets say it like this. Take off 22 years and they could be twins."

"The shock read on everyone's faces. There was only one possibilty left. She wnet to get get Ed.
