Chapter 9: the Search
(AKA: a pissed Winry is TERRIFYING!)

POV: 3rd/all

A loud crash sounded in an empty office, it's huge door slammed open. A young brown-haired secretary yelped in surprise and hid behind a desk. She peeked over to see if there was any danger.

"SHESCA!" shouted an angry female voice.

Hearing her name, the secretary ducked back under the desk. But it was too late, the unknown assailant spotted her.

Shesca crawled closer to the desk, "please don't be Oliver, PLEASE don't be Oliver..." she whispered to herself.

The woman stomped up to the desk and grabbed the secretary's jacket. She yelped as she was yanked into a standing position. Shesca was too scared to see who it was. she was sure that it was Oliver, Armstrong's powerful (and SCARY!) sister. Whoever it was, they didn't speak until Shesca stopped her shivering and looked at her.

Finally, the secretary turned and faced her fears... But she was shocked to find that Oliver was not there... Instead, Winry stood in front of her, seething with anger. Armstrong was behind her, too afraid to stop her even though Mustang commanded him to.

"W-Winry?" the secretary stuttered, surprised to see her friend.

The blonde teen was furious. Shesca has never seen Winry like this, it was even worse than Oliver!

"SHESCA!" Winry repeated (rather loudly).

"y-yes?" the nervous officer stuttered.

"TELL ME WHERE HE IS! WHERE ARE THEY KEEPING THAT CRIMINAL?!" Winry shouted.

Shesca looked at Armstrong for help, he was waving his arms and shaking his head "No."

Unsure what to do, Shesca just stared at her angry friend.

"TELL ME!" Winry demanded again, shaking Shesca.

Terrified, she answered. "military prison 2, cell 126!" she said quickly.

And with that, Winry stormed out of the office in a flash. Poor Shesca just stood there, confused.

Armstrong shook his head, "why did you tell her?!" he asked.

"I... Well... What did you expect me to do?! I have never seen Winry like that! She was almost as scary as your sister!" Shesca said.

"Why was it so bad anyway? I told her the cell number of the most recent criminal put in there. Why did she want to know?" Shesca asked, still bewildered.

"she's gonna kill him if we don't get there before she does!" Armstrong said grimly.

"why would she do that?!" Shesca asked.

"because of what he did to E-..." Alex began to say, but he stopped short.

Armstrong gave Shesca a grim look, she was pretty good friends with Ed. Alex didn't need another crying girl slowing him down.

"I... I'll tell you later." he said hurriedly and ran out the door, leaving Shesca confused and frightened.

(in the prison...)

Winry stormed through the prison door, startling the guards in the room. She paid them no mind as she stomped up to the desk in the front.

"I'd like to see the prisoner in cell number 126!" Winry demanded.

The man at the desk looked at her, "I need to see a military ID before I can even let you in..." he said calmly.

Winry was about to yell at the man again when another person slammed through the door. All of the guards stood up strait and saluted as führer Roy Mustang stomped in, his closest officers following. (Hawkeye, Havoc, Fury, and the others)

Mustang walked up to the desk where Winry stood. She glared at him, daring him to stop her.

Roy lifted his hand. Winry flinched, thinking he was going to make her leave by threatening to use alchemy.

But Roy smiled, in his hand was his ID. He gave it to the man behind the desk (but with him being the führer and all, it wasn't really needed). Winry sighed in relief and happiness, returning Roy's smile.

"She's with me. We would like to have our interrogation with prisoner 126 a little early." he asked kindly.

The officer behind the desk quickly opened the door and lead them inside.

Winry and Roy walked behind the guard as he lead them through a long hallway. Hawkeye and the others stayed in the entrance room while they went inside. Winry stared down at the floor, refusing to make eye contact with any of the criminals in the cells as she walked by.

"Winry." Roy said quietly. "You cannot attack this man, he told us that if he was attacked by any military personnel he would refuse to tell us how to break Edward's coma." he said to her. Winry suddenly stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" Mustang asked, walking back to her.

"You didn't tell me that he knew how to save Ed..." she said quietly.

Roy frowned, "We aren't completely sure he really can... He said he could but that could be a lie to make sure we don't kill him." Roy sighed.

"Thats ok, at least there's some hope for Ed..." Winry said, her voice sounded a little calmer. She continued to walk along the hallway, even more desperate to talk to this criminal.

"Here we are." the guard announced after a few minutes of walking.

They stopped and looked into a dark cell. Winry couldn't see anyone, but she felt an odd presence. it wasn't an evil or good feeling, but it scared her.
