Chapter 7: A Hopeless Search

"Sir, they're alive!" McGee exclaimed.

"What!?" Lieutenant Hawkeye said in disbelief.

"Luna, Ed, Al, and Jack! They're alive!"

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"Is this some kind of joke!?" Roy asked.

"No sir, they're on the phone right now!" McGee ran back to the bullpen, with Roy and Riza fallowing. Gibbs was in the bullpen with his arm around Jenny. They were crowded around the phone.

"IS HE THERE!?" Roy called. The feeling that Ed was alive brought Colonel Mustang a feeling he never knew before. It was like his whole entire life had finally started coming together.

Around 3pm (I think) Jack called me.

"Luna! Luna!" I turned around to face him.

"What!?"

"My phone! It works!" I stopped walking, as id Ed and Al.

"WHAT!?"

"It's true! I'm not lying!" Ed, Al and I ran over. Jack was already dialing NCIS. We waited our hearts pounding.

"This is special agent Katelin Todd, NCIS. Can I help you?" For a moment I couldn't find my voice.

"Hello?" Kate asked.

"KATE!" I suddenly blurted out. Silence.

"Kate? You there?"" her word came slowly and disbelievingly.

"Luna? Is it really you?" she said, sounding as if she had been crying.

"No, I'm dead and I'm calling from beyond the grave! Of course it's me!" I said. I heard loud yells of my name.

"Luna! You're alive! You survived!" Dad yelled.

"Yeah, I did, and so did Ed and Al and Jack!"

"McGee, go get Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye!" Gibbs yelled. McGee took off running.

"Where's mom?"

"I'm over here!" Mom called.

"MOM!" Ed and Al seemed sad when I called for my mom.

"LUNA-BELLE BLAKE DON'T YOU EVERSCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Mom yelled.

"Well, I couldn't help getting blown up!" A sigh.

"I'm glad you're ok." Dad said.

"Thanks."

"IS HE THERE!?" Colonel Mustang's voice exploded over Jack's phone.

"Oh no!" Ed groaned.

"EDWARD!"

"Yes sir?" Ed squeaked.

"He's gonna get it!" I said softly in a sing- song voice. Jack elbowed me in the ribs.

"OW!" I mouthed back at him. He gave me a warning glance.

"Full--" Roy began, "Edward are you ok!? Are you hurt!?"

"What's with Mr. Nice Guy?" Ed mumbled. Al jabbed him in the side.

"Brother! Be nice!" He scolded, "Colonel Mustang's only trying to be nice!"

"I'm fine!" Ed ground out.

"Alphonse? What about you? Are you hurt?"

"No sir," Al said, "I'm sort of incapable of being hurt."

"Oh, right. Of course." There was an awkward silence.

"Awkward!" I sang softly, and managed to dodge another jab from Jack.

"Luna, where are you anyway?" Dad asked.

"I don't know," I said, "We're in the middle of… well… nowhere!"

"Well, we're not going to find you in 'nowhere'. We need at least a guess!" Mom said.

"Sorry, 'nowhere' is probably the Great Basin, but I have no idea where in the Great Basin we are."

"I HAVE IT!" Abby yelled from the background.

"Luna-Belle, how have you been?" Ducky suddenly said.

"Ducky? When did you arrive?" I said slightly wishing Duck hadn't used my full name, but it didn't really matter.

"Just about yesterday night. I walked in to see Jethro, bawling like a child! Apparently, I had gotten there just in time to hear your plane blew up! I also call seeing Colonel M--"

"Duck, that's enough," Gibbs interrupted, "Luna, we—"

"You were crying!?" I exclaimed.

"Don't interrupt Luna-Belle. Anyway, as I was saying, Abby was able to pinpoint your location."

"REALLY!?" Ed, Al , Jack, and I exclaimed.

"Yup!" Abby said.

"Since all the airlines are closed, we need you to stay where you are." Kate said.

"But why?" Jack asked.

"Because," McGee explained, "you're signal comes from one spot. You guys being in the middle of nowhere doesn't really help us because there are no power lines to carry your signal. The reason you were able get your signal, was probably from a passing satellite. So, if you stay in one spot, it'll be easier for the rescue team to find you."

"You know, Probie," Tony said, "That's good logic but, since there's no shade or water in the desert won't they—"

"Get dehydrated, get heat stroke, pass out from heat exhaustion or all of the above?" I stated, "Then yes, we have a slight problem."

"SLIGHT!?" Ed exploded, "We could die! That's NOT slight!"

"I never said we would die."

"You implied it!"

Gibbs sighed and shaking his head. Jack ignored Luna and Ed's fighting.

"Oh, um… Mr. Gibbs?" Jack said hi voice wavering.

"Yes?"

"Um… can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"I…uh…well… I completlyforgottotellmyparentsimissedmyplanesotheythinki'mdead." Jack said melding his words together.

"And you want me to call and say you're ok?"

"Would you!?"

"Of Course!"

*House of Jack Spivy*

Angie was mad with worry. They hadn't heard from Jack since his plane had taken off. She and Henry hadn't known their son was on Fight 24. Ruthie however had a different story. The 13 year old teen was crying silently in her room. Jack hadn't called his parents while he was on the plane, he had called his sister.

*Ruthie's Flashback*

Ruthie sighed. She was lying on her bead, board.

"How long do I have to wait until Jack shows up?" Ruthie wondered. Her phone started ringing. It was Jack.

"Jack! Where are you! You were supposed to be here HOURS ago!"

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"Ruthie, I want you to do me a favor."

"Ok, what?"

"Don't tell mom or dad what I'm going to tell you, kay? Swear it!"

"Ok, I swear I won't tell mom or dad." Jack sighed.

"Have you seen the news yet?"

"Well, yeah mom and dad are watching it. They…"

Ruthie trailed off, "hold on, you don't mean to say you—you're on Flight 24!?"

"Shush! Don't let mom or dad hear you! I don't want them to worry!"

"But-but you could die! I don't want to lose you!"

"If the plane blows up, tell mom and dad I love them ok?" Ruthie started crying.

"Aww, Ruthie, don't cry. I'm not dead yet, ok?"

"Okay." Ruthie sniffed whipping her tears away.

"RUTHIE!" Angie called.

"Go, I'll be fine." Jack said.

"Promise you won't die?"

"I can't promise anything."

"PROMISE!" she said franticly.

"Ok, I promise I won't die!"

"Ok." Ruthie whispered and hung up.

*End Flashback*

Now, Ruthie was standing by the living room, her parents sitting on the couch.

"Ruthie, honey, what's wrong?" Angie asked. Henry was quiet, looking at his daughter.

"Um… well…"

"Ruthie, just tell us!" Henry said.

"Well…I don't exactly know how to say this but…" Ruthie took a deep breath, "yesterday, I spoke with Jack, while he was on the plane… he…he made me promise not to tell you."

"Tell us what?" Angie asked.

"He made me promise not to tell you because he didn't want you to worry. *sigh* ok, here goes…. In truth, Jack took Flight 24 because they missed his earlier flight."

"What!?" Henry exploded.

"But that plane, Flight 24 we saw it live! It…" Angie trailed off realizing what Ruthie was saying.

"Wait, you don't mean to say…Jack… he…he…died?"

"He asked me to tell you that he loved you." Ruthie had tears coming down her face as did Angie and Henry. The phone rang and Ruthie answered it.

"Spivy residence." She said.

"Is this Angie Spivy?" it was a male voice, Ruthie guessed.

"No she's my mom. Do you need to talk with her?"

"Yes, thank you."

"MOM!" Ruthie yelled, "THERE'S SOMEONE ON THE PHONE THAT WANTS TOT TALK TO YOU!" Angie took the phone from her daughter.

"This is Angie Spivy."

"Mrs. Spivy, this is Special Agent Gibbs from NCIS."

"NCIS? I've never heard it."

"Naval Criminal Investigative Services."

"Oh, well, is there anything I can help you with, Agent Gibbs?"

"Ma'm this is regarding your son, Jack Spivy."

"What about my son? If you're calling me to say he died I—" suddenly Ruthie grabbed the phone running to her room.

"RUTHIE!" Her father yelled. Ruthie shut the door, locking it.

"I'm sorry I took the phone Agent Gibbs, but my mom has been taking the death of my brother pretty hard."

"No, it's all right , Miss--?"

"Ruthie."

"Miss Ruthie, but I wasn't calling to tell your mother her son was dead, I was calling to say he survived!"

"What!?" Ruthie exclaimed, "he survived!?"

"Yes, I was calling to tell your family to come to the NCIS base."

"Ok, I'll tell my mom, thank you SO much for calling Agent Gibbs!" Ruthie said and hung up.

NCIS Bullpen 30 minutes later

Over the phone I could hear Jack's parents crying and telling him how much they were worried. We were still waiting for a rescue team to find us. We did have a 1 day's start and it would take us nearly a day (by car) to find our location. I was getting worried and so were Jack and Al. Ed had passed out a little bit over an hour ago.

"How long can we survive like this?" I wondered. When Ed ha passed out (not surprising since half of him is made out of automail) I could hear Colonel Mustang panicking and calling out his name.

"Wow," I thought, "he really does care." Stories about the the famous Flame Alchemist in Ishbal were common among the military and NCIS (since we deal with the military on a current basis).

"LLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNAAAAAA? LLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAA?" Jack called.

"Whaaaat?" I said back, in the same sing-song voice.

"My sister wants to talk to you."

"Huh? Oh, ok." I've never really spoken to Jack's sister. I met her once when Jack invited me over for dinner. (This was before we started dating)

"Hello?" I said uncertain, "Ruthie?"

"Hi!" she exclaimed sounding overly excited, " Are you Jack's girlfriend!?"

"Yes, yes I am." I said proudly as Jack put his arm around me.

"You know he talks about you ALL the time! How old are you?"

"I'm 16 and I did not know Jack talked about me all the time."

"Well, not literally all the time, but whenever he comes back from a date with you, it's ALL HE TALKS ABOUT!"

"Ugh! Jack groaned, humiliated. I grinned.

"Well, I'm flattered."

"How come I don't see you in school?"

"Well…I…um…I…well…I-" I stuttered caught off guard. Lucky for me Jack came to my rescue.

"Uh, Ruthie, Luna doesn't go to our school. She goes to…um…"

"Northwest High!" I said, "Yeah, I go to Northwest High!"

"I've never heard of it."

"That's because it's a private school for girls." Jack explained.

In truth, Jack and I made up in case of a situation lie this, where my cover might be blown.

"Luna, how's Edward?"

"Huh?"

"Fullmetal how is he?" Colonel Mustang repeated.

"Oh…he's…his face is sun burnt and… that's pretty much it besides the fact he's sweating like he's in oven… well, I guess we kind of are."

"How long do you think the rescue team will be?" Jack asked.

"Probably by sunset." Abby said.

"SUNSET!? SUNSET!?" Angie exclaimed, "it's 4 hours until sunset!"

"Mom, she means sunset D.C time." Jack explained.

"In truth, it's already sunset here, so around 7:00." I said.

"So when the rescue team gets here, it'll be around…" Al continued.

"Around 11 or 12 midnight!" I groaned. *BEEP*

"What was that!?" al exclaimed.

"My phone." Jack answered glumly, "It's dying." His phone died as if to prove his point 3 minutes later, while worry settled into us.

Eventually, Jack and I fell asleep leaving Al to watch for the rescue team. Around 10:00 PM, Al started shaking my shoulder..

"Luna! Luna! Wake up! They're here! The rescue team!"

"Wha-?" I mumbled, "10 more minutes mom."

"HEY! I'm not your mom!" Al exclaimed.

"DAD!"

"I AM NOT YOUR DAD EITHER!" By this point I was wide awake poking Jack.

"Ok ok! I'm sorry!" I said and Jack woke up. (Ed was still passed out.) At least 4 headlights were headed for us. Once the cars were stopped a bearded man hopped out.

"Hey! "he called, "I'm Trevor! Are you Luna, Jack, Edward, and Alphonse?"

"Yeah!" I called.

"Come on!" we're taking you home!"
