Sightings

"Caution on the road. Lies, lies and hidden danger."

Roy awoke the next morning in a position he was not used to being in, sitting. On a couch. And he didn't know where he was. The room was still blurry as he opened his eyes to see where he was. He sat up fully and looked around the room. Next to him slept Zezilia and Riza. The memories of last night came back to him. Roy got up as carefully as he could, trying not to wake the two sleeping women still on the couch. He went into the kitchen and found Riza's coffee maker. Roy was in the middle of making eggs for breakfast when Zezilia walked into the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" She asked, still half-asleep.

"I'm making breakfast for the three of us." Roy replied, still cooking the eggs.

"Are you making your Famous Pan-Fried Eggs?" Zezilia asked as she instantly woke up.

Roy just laughed and turned back to the stove. He flipped the pan and the eggs landed on a plate next to the stove. Zezilia walked over to the plate, picked it up, and placed it on the kitchen table. She left the kitchen while Roy was geting three cups for everyone. Zezilia then walked back in, tugging a drowsy Riza along with her. They all sat down with their own drinks and took some eggs onto their own plates.

Riza turned to Roy. "This is wonderful! I never knew you could cook so well."

"I've always known how to cook, I just never did it much. But I remembered how much Zezi loved my eggs when she was little. She even named them." Roy said, still eating the eggs.

"Yup!" Zezilia said. "It's Uncle Roy's Famous Pan-Fried Eggs!"

Roy smiled slightly and looked at Riza's clock above her stove. He turned to Riza.

"We should be going into work soon huh?" He asked.

Riza shook her head and got up from the table, bringing her empty plate to the sink. Roy and Zezilia both followed her actions. Riza walked Roy to the front door and said goodbye. When Roy left Riza turned to Zezilia and motioned upstairs. Zezilia followed Riza into her bedroom once again. Riza pulled her military uniform off of the back of the door where it was hanging.

"You can go into my closet and find something to wear. Most of my clothes will probabally fit you. Then when my shift is over we can go out and find you some of your own clothes ok?" Riza said, pushing Zezilia to her walk in closet.

Zezilia closed the closet doors to give both herself and Riza privacy. She looked through Riza's different choices of clothes. Zezilia finally found a pair of blue jeans and a black, halter-top. She walked out of the closet to see Riza, fully dressed and putting her hair up. Riza looked at Zezilia and handed her a brush for her hair and a band to hold her hair back. Zezilia pulled her hair back into a braid and followed Riza downstairs to the front door. Riza handed Zezilia a pair of black boots that went just above her ankles. Riza pulled on her military boots and waited for Zezilia to put on the boots she gave her.

"Ready to go?" Riza asked as Zezilia straightened up.

Zezilia nodded and they both walked out the door, into Riza's car. The ride to the office was filled with more conversation between the two. When they arrived at the office, however, everything was a mess. There were soldiers running around franticly while other military personell were handing out guns and other standard weapons. Riza quickly got out of her car and, followed by Zezilia, rushed to Roy's office. When they entered, they saw that the office wasn't much better. Riza walked up to Roy's office and went up to where Roy was sitting at his desk.

"Sir," Riza said. "May I know what exactly is going on here?"

Roy nodded. "Earlier this morning Scar was spotted with a strange man near one of the military compounds. Shortly after they left, a small portion of the building blew up. We have reason to believe that Scar and this man are working together, but we're not sure if one of them is being forced to work with the other."

"Why is that sir?" Riza asked.

"The way the building blew up. It wasn't Scar's style at all. So either Scar is forcing this man to work with him, or it's the other way around and the man is forcing Scar to work with him." Roy explained.

During this time Zezilia had been standing outside of Roy's office helping the other officers when another soldier barged into the room, rushing to Roy's office. He opened the door and ran up to Roy.

"Sir!" The soldier said.

"Yes Lieutennant?" Roy asked.

"The military soldiers in the western compound have spotted Scar. He's managed to get inside the main building. It is advised that you find the quickest and safest way out of the building." The Lieutennant said.

"Thank you for the warning Lieutennant, but I will stay here with my subordinates." Roy said.

"But sir," The Lieutennant started.

"No Lieutennant. Go and warn any other state alchemists in the building. Do that for me and there will be a promotion waiting for you when this is all over." Roy said calmly.

The Lieutennant nodded and hurried out of Roy's office to warn any other state alchemists. After he left, Havoc entered Roy's office.

"What about Edward sir?" Havoc asked. "He probabally got wind of the situation and, knowing him, went out to confront Scar."

Roy suddenly became five shades whiter, from the realization of what Edward would do. He stood up and walked to his office door. Roy turned around and faced his subordinates.

"I am going out to find Fullmetal. Hawkeye and Havoc will accompany me. Breda, Falman, and Fuery will stay here and protect Zezilia." They all nodded in accecptance and Riza and Jean walked towards Roy. They left the room, leaving Zezilia with her three "protectors." Breda turned to Zezilia with a questioning look on his face.

"Um," Zezilia said. "Is something... wrong?"

Breda shook his head. "No. It's just. Well, the Colonel never shows this much care towards anyone. Except Ed when he's not around. Why is that?"

"You mean he didn't tell you?" Zezilia asked.

All three occupants of the room shook their head no in response. Zezilia smiled and sighed.

"He's my uncle." She said.

Breda, Falman, and Fuery stood there, gaping like three fish. Zezilia laughed at their reaction.

"The Colonel never mentioned anything about having relatives." Fuery said.

"That's strange. You don't look anything like him." Falman stated.

"Wow." Was all Breda could say.

Zezilia smiled nervously. Geeze. Will I have to explain everything to these guys! Oh well. Here goes.

"Well, I'm not really blood related to him. You see, my father was a good friend of his and Roy came to see me often when I was younger. Then, since I never knew my mother and my father had to go away, Roy gained custody over me." She said.

"Well," Falman said. "That explains everything."

The office quieted down after that, with all of them going back to their previous work, oblivious to what was going on outside the building.

Outside

Roy, Riza, and Jean snuck along the side of the building, trying to blend into the mayhem in order to quickly find Ed. Guns were going off left and right in the confusion, trying to find a target that may not be there. Soldiers were shouting to other soldiers, while higher ranking officers were attempting to give orders. Roy, Riza, and Jean finally made it around the building to the western compound. There, a mass of soldiers were shooting at a target hidden in a dust cloud created by the mayhem. From inside the cloud a red, static-like light was going off every so often. These lights were accompanied by yellow flashes.

Roy walked up to the soldier in charge. "Lieutennant Colonel, let me have a shot. I might be able to smoke them out."

The Lieutennant Colonel nodded and gave room for Roy to work. The moment Roy stepped into his place, he snapped, setting off a large spark of fire. A small shout could be heard from inside the cloud of smoke. Roy turned to Riza and Havoc.

"You two go and see if you can locate Fullmetal." He said. At Riza's concerned look he spoke again. "I'll hold up things here. You don't need to worry. I can handle it."

With that Riza and Jean left to find Edward and Alphonse, this time without their Colonel.
