A/N: …I'll just start ^^'

*RECAP*

"Roy you know we can't it's just-"There was a muffled yell and the phone went dead.

"Riza?!" He yelled into the phone. "Dammit!" He got into his car and drove to Riza's.

As soon as he got there he ran to the door trying to open it but it was locked, he started searching through his pockets until he realized there was no time for keys. "Damn door!" He yelled kicking the door down. He got inside and was horrified at the sight before him. "No…"

*ENDOFRECAP*

"This can't be happening…" Roy said wide eyed. Before him was Riza's usually cluttered apartment was stained red, there was blood everywhere. There was no body, but whoever had lost all that blood should still be alive; just barley though.

He made his way through the blood filled room unpacked boxes thrown every which way, when finally he got to Riza's room. He looked around quickly bringing his attention to the bed where something; or someone, was under the covers. 'Riza!' Roy thought running towards the bed. He lifted the covers up to reveal Black Hayate curled up in a ball. "Of course," Roy muttered "do you know where Riza is?"

Black Hayate looked at him for a minute before turning to the door, and running away.

Roy followed right behind him in hopes of finding Riza, but the dog had led him to the kitchen where he pawed at his food dish. "Not now Hayate." Roy said sitting down.

'Maybe someone at Headquarters can locate her.' He thought. He got up from the chair and looked to Hayate "stay here."

Roy was almost at the station when he heard rustling; he turned his head only to see his lieutenant laying barley conscious up against a wall. "Riza!" he yelled running to her "Who did this to you?!"

Before Riza could answer she went unconscious. "Damn! I have to get her to a hospital." He looked around looking for any men on patrol; none. He picked Riza up and ran to headquarters as fast as he could, making sure not to hurt her.

Once he arrived he called the guards and told them to take her to the emergency. "Yes Sir!" They saluted before taking Riza and carefully taking her down the hall; Roy following.

Once they got her a room the doctor came in and told him that he would have to wait outside, he obeyed and walked to the hall sitting down with his head in his hands. 'It's all my fault.' He thought.

"Hey, what happened to you; one of your girls got mad and threw wine at you?" Roy looked up to see Ed smiling mischievously, as his childhood friend Winry smiling nervously beside him.

"What do you want fullmetal?" Roy asked.

"What…no Pipsqueak?!"

"Not now…why are you here?"

'He must be really bummed.' Ed thought 'Him not calling me pipsqueak and all.' "Something's up, now spill it." He said his normal energetic personality gone.

"Riza's unconscious and in surgery now…and it's all my fault." He said taking his head from his hands and looking to Ed with a look of regret in his eyes.

"I'm sure it's not your fault, if it weren't for you she would be dead right now."

"ED!" Winry yelled pulling out her wrench.

"What?! I was just trying to be helpful."

"Some help you are." Winry mumbled before looking to Roy. "I'm sure she'll be fine." She said giving him a reassuring smile.

"Thanks."

At that moment Doctor Ravenson came from the room. "Doctor, what's wrong is she ok, will she be able to see anyone, how long a recovery?! " Roy yelled.

"She fine Mr. Mustang you can see her now she's awake."

"Thank you!" He said running into the room.

"He must really love her." The doctor said.

"You could say that." Ed said taking Winry's hand and walking into Riza's room.

"Ed, Winry." Riza said "Thank you for coming." She had black and blue bruises covering her body along with red soaked bandages.

"No problem Miss Hawkeye, it's our pleasure." Winry smiled.

"Ed, come here for a second?" Riza asked. Ed looked to Winry and shrugged his shoulder letting go of her hand and going to the side of the bed.

Winry waited a second watching Ed bring his ear close to Riza's mouth, only seconds later did Ed turn bright red jumping from the bed and looking to her and turning even more red. 'What did she say to him?!' Winry wondered.

"Roy?" Riza asked warily.

"Yes?"

"I think it would be best if I got some rest could you show Ed and Winry out please?"

"Sure, Ed Winry I hate to ask but I think it would be best if Riza got some rest; so shall we take our leave now?" Roy asked.

"Not you." Riza said pulling on Roy's sleeve.

"It's fine it was nice to see you both, get well soon." Winry said before leaving Ed following.

Once out of the building Winry turned to Ed "What did Miss Riza ask that made you go so red?" She smirked.

"Oh, that?" Ed asked a small blush tinting his cheeks. "Nothing too bad." He said before kissing her cheek.

In Riza's room Roy turned to Riza seeing tears filling her eyes. "It's Ok, I'm not leaving." He said leaning down and placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Excuse me, Sir? There's a call for you." A nurse said.

'A call, who would call me here?' "Uh, thank you." Roy said walking out to the hall. "Hello?"

"Hello Roy." The voice on the other end chimed.

"Grumman, what are you-!"

"Don't worry Roy-Boy; I just wanted to ask you something." Grumman said interrupting him.

"Roy-Boy? Only madam Chris-What have you done with her?!" He screamed causing a nurse to come; he waved her away.

"I haven't done anything to your mother; I just remembered your nickname is all." He said playfully. "Now, as I was saying, I'd like you to help me with something; I am still your superior after all."

"I-I can't disobey orders, but-"

"No but's! Don't worry it's nothing bad, let me ask you this. Do you know my granddaughter?"

Roy was confused, why would he of all things want him to do something involving her? He was always going on about how he should marry her, Huges wasn't much of a help either. But back to the point, was he planning to kill her, or did he need her to do his dirty work? "No, I'm sorry; I don't." he replied.

"Really?! I gave you a bunch of clues, here; I'll give you a couple more. You work with her," Roy's eyes widened "You see her every day, and she has the best aim in the military."

"Hawkeye…" he said.

"Yes, that's right; god job Roy-Boy!" He clapped.

"What does she have to do with this?!" he yelled.

"Well you see I want you to promise me something…promises me that whatever happens, you keep her safe." He said, and before Roy could speak two bullets went off. "Go and get her…Mustang."

"Grumman!" He yelled. This time a different voice was heard.

"I'm not done yet you scum, I'll find you; and when I do you're as good as dead!" There was a thump before the line went dead.

Roy stood there taking in what had just happened…"Sir, is something wrong?"

Roy spun around coming face to face with Riza, causing him to take a step back before speaking. "You shouldn't be up." Roy said leading her back to her room.

"I heard yelling, who was on the phone?"

"I-it was Grumman…" He said biting his lip.

"What did he say, more importantly; how did he escape?" She looked puzzled, and lost in her thoughts.

"Jankons had escaped too, but that's not it…He-Jankons he killed Grumman." He said painfully.

"But-how?" Her eyes went wide in realization; she went over to her bag pulling something out. "Here…" she said handing it to him, it was a hallow chess piece; the king. "It was his when we played chess; we used it to pass notes.

"Roy examined it closely soon finding an opening at the bottom, as it opened a piece of paper fell to the floor. Riza picked it up and handed it back letting him read it; he put it back on the table and stormed off. "I need a moment…" He started to walk away, the words not leaving his head 'goodbye'. 'He must of knew what Jankons plan was and wanted to destroy it; along with himself.' By that time he had made his way back to the room, "We're leaving, get changed."

"Sir!" Riza saluted.

"But miss-" The nurse called after her, but Roy stopped her.

"Are you good at keeping secrets; sweet cheeks?" He smirked.

Riza came back to the room where the nurse who was up and running a second ago was now lying unconscious on the floor. "Um, Sir?" she asked.

"I'll explain later, come on."

Once at the lobby Riza started to worry, "Are you sure I should be leaving, I mean if someone were to attack you-"

"If someone were to attack me, they'd be a pile of ashes before they could get to you." He said kissing her cheek.

"Not in public…Sir!" Riza yelled pushing him away, her hand on her gun.

"Relax, no one can recognize us." He shrugged.

"Hey Colonel Bastard! You and then Lieutenant getting a little friendly ther-" Ed said before a bullet flue past his face causing his cheek to bleed.

"I'd be careful about what you say Fullmetal, the Lieutenant may be injured but she could shoot you right left and center. Of course she would have to aim pretty low; shrimp."

"YOU! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP SO SMALL YOU COULD SEARVE IT TO AN ANT AND IT WOULND'T BE ENOUGH?!" Roy smirked, he had won this one.

"Calm down Edward." Riza said, "Now, you can't tell anyone of this; understand? That's an order."

"And what if I don't want to follow those orders?" Ed said crossing his arms.

Riza sent him a death glare making him almost jump out of his skin. She opened her mouth to speak, but Ed beat her to it "You know what? Never mind."

"Well we better get going Lieutenant." Roy said getting into the car.

"Right." She followed.

"Bye Fullmetal!" Roy shouted, "Oh! And don't think I forgot about your little crush on that Winry girl!"

"Wha-How-I mean…Hawkeye!" He glared his face bright red.

"Sorry Edward, but I can't disobey orders; I was told to tell him." She shrugged.

"I'll get you back for this Mustang!" Ed yelled after the car.

"Do you really think that was necessary Sir?"

"He'll get over it." Roy laughed grabbing her hand. "But let's focus on you for now."

Riza smiled "If you insist Sir."

Soon they pulled up to their apartment, "Thank you Sir." Riza said getting out of the car.

"Not so fast Lieutenant," Roy said grabbing her wrist. "Just because you're out of the hospital doesn't mean you're not sick, you'll be coming with me." He crossed his arms.

"But Sir-"

"No but's Lieutenant, that's an order." He said interrupting her.

Riza sighed walking to her room, when all of a sudden she felt Roy's breath on her ear. "Not quite, I still have something to show you." Before she could respond Roy had taken her hand in his gloved ones, "Come on!" He smiled. It was the first time she had seen him smile in a long time, she smiled too; she loved that smile.

"Where exactly are you taking me?!" She said running after him, her hand still in his. When she got no reply she went to ask again before she saw just where she was. 'The lake…' She thought staring at the glistening layer of ice which had formed over the weeks. 'I guess I didn't notice.'

"Don't just stand there, come on!" He dragged her onto the lake surprising her.

"Sir!" She yelled falling into him

"Lighten up Riza." He smiled down at her, taking her into a hug "Marry Christmas Riza." He whispered slipping something into her pocket.

A/N: Okay, so let's get one thing straight…I have no idea when I am going to be posting new chapters anymore. Between school, home and friends I have no schedule. So don't be surprised if I don't update in a while.

The thing is my parents decided "Hey we should just make Kaitlyn's first year of high school a hell of a lot harder and get divorced!" So they did and this has been going on for about a year now…then just as things were settling down my brother felt sick and I was like he's probably just faking so he doesn't have to go to school. Well One night my dad dragged us all out to the emergency to go get him checked and we sat there for four hours, all in which a boy had the nerve to look at me like I was crazy while he was sitting there shirtless in front of everyone in the emergency! So my dad was like you should just go home and get some sleep, so my grandparents drove me and my other brother home while my dad and Brandon (my sick brother…) stayed at the hospital…Well I was sitting there minding my own business when all of a sudden my dad texts me saying "Oh, I forgot to tell you! When you left they took your brother into surgery to get his appendix taken out; not like it's a big deal or anything." And I sat there for a couple minutes before I started to freak out. So that happened then as that was just being dealt with the doctor was all like "Ya well your brother wasn't supposed to get his appendix taken out until he was a lot older but the stress from the divorce forced him into surgery earlier than expected…" So that happened then we were all being our nice little messed up family when my dad almost cut his foot off with a saw -.-' what a life I lead…But anyways that's happened in the last two weeks so let's see what awaits me this week! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! ~Kaitlyn
