A/n: Here i am just like I said I would. I figured that since the last chapter was somewhat boring I would give you a new chapter, and this one had some interesting stuff. Also a surprise character who I know you will love. Things should start picking up so be prepared. I also have some more filler stuff down for you so look out for those.

So here is is Chapter 11. Its a little short but ENJOY IT! (I command you.) No I dont :D


Chapter 11: Head of the investigations office

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

Normal Pov

Location: Central, 56, Auburn St

Roy woke up a little worse for wear that Tuesday morning. He had gotten up to find that he was the first, not surprising since he barely slept that night. He got up and took a shower before getting dressed in his usual uniform. He yawned one last time to rid his body of sleep and headed for the kitchen for something to eat. He started the coffee machine and went through the cupboards for something to eat. He was eating some toast when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and found Ed still in his pajamas, holding his stuffed dog, standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Ed what are you doing?" Roy asked he walked over to him and kneeled down.

Ed squeezed his dog and then reached out and grabbed on to Roy's jacket. "Hungry, I hungry." He looked at Roy, "Have food?"

Roy smiled, "You don't have to ask, if you're hungry just say so." He guided Ed to the table and sat him down. "What are you hungry for?"

Ed looked around the kitchen and then at the table, "Cereal, have cereal."

Roy thought for a minute and then smiled. He went through one of the cupboards and pulled out one of Al's breakfast cereals. This one was Cookie Crisp. He got a bowl and poured some cereal in it and gave it to Ed. "How you going to eat it without milk?" He put the box away.

Ed grimaced at the word milk and ate his cereal with his fingers piece by piece. "No milk, milk bad."

Roy chuckled and got himself some coffee and Ed some orange juice. He grabbed the pills for Ed and made sure he took them. Roy and Ed sat together till the others got up as well.

Sara was the first, fully dressed, she took her seat next to Ed. "I was wondering where he went, he usually wakes me in the morning." She stroked his head.

"Was hungry, saw Roy, and got cereal." Ed said to Sara, he finished his cereal. He pushed the bowl over to Roy, "All done." Roy grabbed the bowl and put it in the sink.

Riza came down a little later. She was making food for her and Sara, so Roy volunteered to help Ed get ready. He guided him up the stairs and into his room to grab some clothes. Ed followed him and even helped pick out some things to wear. Ed took a bath, and Roy washed his hair like before. Then he helped him dry his automail, and then get dressed. By the time he was done everyone was ready for work. It was going to be another long day.


Location: East city prison, solitary confinement,

He sat on his bed in a relaxed position. There were no windows, only a single lamp hanging from the ceiling that gave light to his cell. It flickered on and off, reflecting off the bars of the cage he was being held in. Water trickled down the stone wall into collecting puddles on the floor. An empty food tray lay near the door; he had eaten only an hour ago. No one visited him, no one was here to talk to, and he was alone, left to rot in the darkness. The man shifted to a lying position and sighed sadly. He had been here for eight years now, and here he would stay, never to see the morning. He would never see the sun, never feel the wind on his face or get to watch his son grow, to hold his wife, never again. It was ok with the man; he knew he was a monster. He felt that being in this place of dread was for the best. He needed to be locked up; he needed to be sealed away for what he did. This place wasn't a cell, not to him, it was reassurance, reassurance that he was safe, that nothing would happen to him. He closed his eyes for sleep but the sudden sounds of feet on stairs kept him from the darkness. He looked up toward the door and watched as a guard walked to the bars and retrieved the empty tray.

The guard gave the man a dirty look, "Look at you; sitting there day after day, you should have been hanged. Prison is too good for you." He walked away.

"I wish you would have," the man whispered. He closed his eyes once more.


Location: Central headquarters, second floor, Roy's office,

Roy was halfway through his paperwork, his team in the other room all doing their job under the watchful eye of Hawkeye. Sara had to leave for the hospital at the request of her boss. Ed was on the couch in Roy's office drawing pictures on a pad of paper, he was mumbling things to himself. Roy leaned his head back onto the chair and sighed. He stretched his stiff muscles and went back to his work when the door to the outer office opened. Roy didn't look up he was too busy looking over a particular important document. He didn't hear the conversation between the visitor and Hawkeye and didn't notice as someone walked into his office and over to his desk. He was almost done with the document when-

"HEY ROY, How you doing?"

Roy nearly jumped from his chair and looked up to the person of said voice. (A/N: It's probably obvious, but I wonder who it is . . . . . . XD) He groaned and went back to his paperwork. "What do you want Hughes, I'm busy."

Hughes grinned brightly, and walked over to his chair. "Don't be like that; what kind of friend would I be if I didn't come and check on you every once and while. That and," He pulled out some pictures. "Look at my Elicia, isn't she the cutest thing in the world."

Roy groaned but nodded anyway, Hughes wouldn't leave him alone if he didn't. Hughes has always been this way, if not worse after his marriage and then the birth of his first kid. Elicia was their second child and Roy had to suffer through hours of pictures; but Roy wouldn't have it any other way. "Hughes I have work to do."

Hughes settled in one of the chairs in front of Roy's desk. He leaned in, "I know, I told Riza it was important, figured you could use a break. She won't see," He whispered.

Roy looked up in surprise and then looked to the door. 'When did he shut the door?" He gave Maes a thankful look and leaned back in his chair. He ran a hand through his hair, "You know she'll kill us both if she finds out."

Maes laughed, "Won't be the first time." He also got comfortable in his chair. "So how are things going," he asked.

"Not much has changed since the two weeks we haven't seen each other." Roy sighed, "Anyways you always know what's going on before anyone else." Suddenly there was a piece of paper in front of his face. Roy blinked and took it.

Ed was next to him, looking for praise at the work he did.

Roy examined the picture and a smile creeped onto his face. It was a drawing of Roy, Riza, Al, and Sara's family, it looked great. Roy looked at Ed and smiled, "This is really nice Ed, thank you," He rubbed Ed's head.

Ed grinned; he then noticed the other man in the room and looked down at the floor in shyness.

Roy noticed and chuckled, he put the picture down and patted Ed's arm. "It's ok Ed, this is a really good friend of mine. Why don't you say hi."

Ed looked up slightly and then over to Maes. He watched as Maes sat up in his chair and gave him a huge smile. Ed stared at him for a minute and then put up his hand.

Maes blinked at him; he thought for a moment before he put his hand against Ed's. They stayed like that for a minute before Ed pulled away and went back to the couch. Roy looked back at Hughes. "How did you know to do that?"

Maes smirked, "Come on Roy, I'm not head of the investigations department for nothing."

Roy shook his head, "Of course I should have known. Of course if you had known then why do you ask what's going on?"

Maes looked over to Ed, "I had to come see for myself." He paused. "I heard the whole story, how you holding up?"

Roy frowned, "I'm ok." Pause. "The last time I saw my sister, I was still young. I just wish I could have apologized" He looked at Ed and smiled. "The least I can do now is care for him."

Ed came back over to the two grown ups and smiled, he gave Roy another picture. Roy took it, "Thank you Ed." Ed smiled, and looked at Maes, he walked over to him. "Dog." He held up his stuffed dog, showing it to Maes.

Maes grinned, "I see, it's a cute dog. Where did you get it?"

Ed looked over to Roy, "Got with Roy, gave to me." He hugged it tight in his arms. He walked over to grab another picture and looked at Roy. He pointed to the door for the outer office and looked at the picture.

Roy was confused at first but then figured it out; Ed wanted to give Riza something. He nodded and watched as Ed carefully made his way out. He looked to Maes when he left.

"That kid is something else; hard to imagine the trauma he's been through," Maes said. He looked to Roy, "You better treat him nicely to the best of your ability." He laughed, what am I saying? There is no one better at this than you." Pause. "Besides me," He grinned.

Roy chuckled a bit and then looked at the door as if trying to see through it, he was deep in thought. "Hey Hughes, can you do something for me."

"Sure what's up," Maes said.

Roy thought for a minute, "I need you to look up some stuff for me. I don't want Riza or the others to find out." He looked Maes square in the face; he had a serious expression. "Think you can keep this confidential?"

Hughes laughed, "Roy you insult me, what do you want me to do?" He whispered.

Roy sighed and lowered his voice, "I need you to look up records on someone, I want to know more about Hohenheim."


OOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I wander why he wants that stuff. What's he looking for? (Better yet, what will he find?)

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD, cheers all around for Hughes, WHO IS NOT DEAD! I love Huehges, I couldn't write a story with him not in it. (How dare they kill Hughes, (cries) But its ok, he's here and I wont kill him. Or will I? NO!
