Hey guys! Nearing the end of my story now, just a few more chapters to write! Hopefully I can get them done within the next couple of weeks! Hope you all enjoy this chapter (apologies if there is any bad grammar I am quite tired today). Much love!

"Matthew!" Mildred yelled at her dazed friend. "Can you PLEASE pay attention? We need to figure out this alchemy if we are going to succeed with blowing up Central HQ!"

"Sorry Mil," Matthew sighed. "Just a little tired…"

Mildred sighed. "Well in that case you are no use to me today. Go home and get some rest and report back to me at 0800 hours tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes ma'am. Sorry for the inconvenience." And with that Matthew left HQ and made his way home.

Before Matthew had joined Trinity, he had just completed medical school. He had always dreamed of becoming a doctor, but the only available jobs were within military hospitals. His involvement with Trinity meant that working for the military would not have been an option. This had given him second thoughts about his involvement with Trinity; after all, he didn't have a real problem with the military and was in fact agnostic. His brother Johan, however, never allowed Matthew to have a life of his own, so whatever Johan wanted was what Matthew had to want.

However, Johan was the least of his worries at this point. Ever since Father Alistair asked him to dispose of Joshua's body, he was troubled. As a medical student, he encountered many corpses and was taught how to determine cause of death. He decided to examine Joshua's body (out of curiosity as he had explained to Johan, who was trying to find a place to bury the body) and he found that his neck was broken. He also noticed that there was a lack of blood clotting around the facial wounds where Father Alistair claimed to have struck Joshua in "self-defence", implying that these wounds had in fact been inflicted post mortem. This was a total contradiction to the Father's story; add this to the fact that the Father did not appear to have any injuries from the so-called attack, and it would appear that Alistair was lying. Matthew therefore had to wonder why Joshua had been killed, and why the Father would lie about it. Was Joshua really a traitor? Matthew thought. He had always seemed genuine to me, and I am usually a good judge of character. Something isn't right – what is Father Alistair hiding? Maybe I should keep a close eye on him…

The following morning, Mildred ran into Father Alistair's office.

"Father! Forgive the intrusion, but it appears the military are giving a press conference in an hour and have a message for us!"

"Well, this certainly is an interesting turn of events! You must attend and let me know what happens. But, before you go, please inform the others that I have not to be disturbed for the next three hours. I have some private business to attend to…"

"Of course Father! But, what about the assignment?"

"That can wait for another couple of weeks. We have plenty of time. It might be best to wait to see what the military have to say, we may not need to blow up their base after all."

"As you wish Father!" The young woman bolted out of the office, slamming the door behind her.

Envy walked up to the door and locked it soon after Mildred had left.

"As if I would trust any of you idiots to take in every detail of that meeting. If you want something done properly, then it's best to do it yourself. Let us see what the military has to say. Maybe the pipsqueak will be around…" Envy laughed to himself and transformed into a crow and flew out of the open window.

"So Mr Mustang, what exactly do this Trinity want? How many more soldiers have to die before you will do something about it?" Cried a young, overly-enthusiastic reporter.

"Well Sir, this is our problem. They continue to wreak havoc throughout Amestris, claiming to do the work of God, but they have made no clear demands. It is obvious they have severe personal issues with the military, but we cannot understand what these are. Although, I would like to point out, that even if we had more information as to their motivations, it is not within our policy to negotiate with terrorists. At the present time, we would like to assure the public that we do not believe that ordinary citizens are under any threats, but I will always advise anyone to exercise precaution. Now on a different matter, we have received an anonymous letter and it has been requested that we read this out as a way to communicate with Trinity. We do not believe that the individual works with Trinity, but is in fact against their actions. This is the message:

Dear E, if you wish to find me, then come to the place where your father once lay at midnight on Friday. Pipsqueak.

We do not know if this is some sort of code, or even a hoax, but by reading this out we hope that the writer will decide to come forward and reveal any information they have about Trinity. We do not encourage vigilantism, so I implore you, do not try anything stupid! That is all we have for now, thanks very much."

Roy turned away from the crowd and walked over to Ed, who was leaning against a pillar.

"Well, I hope that you are right about this, Ed. Did you see this Envy character?"

"He's a shapeshifter remember, he could have been anyone. I know that someone from Trinity was here, so I am sure the message will reach him one way or another."

"How do you know?"

"Remember the purple-eyed brunette from my vision? Well, she was there."

"Why didn't you say something Ed? We could have had her arrested –"

"On what charge? 'Excuse me miss, I must arrest you for killing someone in my colleague's dream?' That won't exactly stand up in any court."

"Fair point. I guess all we can do is wait."

Subtle Elric, subtle, thought Envy. Guess you ain't as stupid as I made you out to be. So, you want to meet me? Well you got it Pipsqueak, and you are going to DIE.
