It was a long but quiet trip. It seemed that most of the guards were gone, probably to central. And it wasn't that hard to get there as well. I met some guy who was transporting food towards there. He let me come with him, in return I helped him with some things. Over all it was easier than I expected. I arrived at central within several days. It was quite a mess. More than I expected. While walking on the streets I came across some pretty damaged streets. You would say they had all the time to repair everything. It shouldn't take that much time. Not while using alchemy at least. So I didn't really know why they weren't finished. I went straight towards Roy's home. I needed to see him as soon as possible. But while arriving there wasn't anyone home. It scared me a lot. 'What if something happened to him? What if he died?' I really thought the worst happened to him. ''Miss, are you alright?'' A soldier walked towards me. ''Uhm, yes, I'm fine. I was just looking for Roy, uh, Colonel Mustang.'' I answered him. ''Didn't you hear?'' ''What?'' I was really scared, was he going to say that he died? ''He's in the hospital right now. I don't know his exact situation, but I have heard he's at least conscious.'' ''Really? Which hospital?'' ''The military one. If you wait for a moment I can take you there. I was ordered to get some stuff from his house and to make sure everything there was okay. It will take about ten minutes.'' ''Thank you, but no. I need to see him as soon as possible. I will go ahead.'' And I walked away before he could say another thing
Even though I knew he was still alive I couldn't stop worrying. 'What does 'At least conscious' mean? How worse are his wounds?' I was still scared. I arrived at the hospital. I walked in without a single problem. I had my face covered with the hood of the vest I'm wearing the whole time. I couldn't have someone recognise me. Inside I looked around if I saw someone I knew. There wasn't anyone. I walked towards the desk. ''Hello, how can I help you?'' The girl behind the desk asked. ''Hello, I'm looking for the room of Roy Mustang.'' ''What's your business with him if I may ask? I'm not allowed to let anyone in without clear reason.'' ''It's important. Please tell me.'' I didn't want to tell her why I needed to talk to him. I didn't want to cause any trouble, at least not before I entered the room. ''Miss. I can't give you mister Mustangs location until you tell me why you need to see him. Or give me your name so I can call the room to make sure it's okay.'' She started to sound a bit annoyed. I really didn't know what to say to her. ''What seems to be the problem?'' A woman who stood behind me asked. Well, she wasn't any woman. ''She wants to see mister Mustang, but she doesn't want to tell me why, miss Hawkeye.'' 'Dammit, Riza's here. I didn't want anyone knowing I'm alive before I spoke to Roy.' I thought. ''Really? Well miss, if you could tell me why you need to speak to him I could let you.'' Riza said to me. ''You wouldn't believe me if I tell you.'' I answered her, while still standing with my back towards her. ''Why don't you try?'' And then I turned around. That was the first moment I saw Riza shocked. ''It can't be you.'' She said. ''Sorry, it's me. So like I said, I really need to speak to Roy.'' ''Uhmm, yes. I will take you there right away.'' She said, still shocked.
She didn't speak to me while we walked towards the room. I wondered what she was thinking. ''We're here. Jean is also in the room.'' She said. Then she opened the door. ''Hey Riza, I thought you were leaving.'' I heard Jean say. ''Yes, I was. But then I walked into someone who wanted to see Roy.'' ''Really, who? And why do you look like you have seen a ghost?'' Then I finally walked into the room, head down. ''Because she has.'' I said. Then I removed my hood.
