Whenever the military had a tough nut that needed to be cracked immediately or that refused to be cracked there was only one option left. They gritted their teeth and called up Maes Hughes, Roy Mustang and Alex Louis Armstrong. Never in their experience could someone withhold information while facing one of them let alone more.

In a dark back lit room deep in the bowels of administrative where ghouls and goblins were rumored to be hiding amidst the dank and moldy stacks of paper one brave clerk faced the might of these three alone. Leaning across the desk about to go into attack mode was Lt. Col Hughes feared wielder of the "Pictures" standing next to him ready to offer encouragement at any time by accidentally setting some of those treasure files a flame was the terror of the females and champion of the mini skirt, Roy Mustang the Flame Alchemist. As if these two heavyweights weren't enough the champion of all scare tactics with a long family history in intimidation was Col. Armstrong.

The clerk wilted slightly before this on slot but then straighten up for she could not betray this sacred duty she would protect Hawkeye (who was very kind to her and had protected her from some of Hughes worst excess and was more than a bit frightening herself)

She resisted when Hughes showed her pictures of his daughter by attempting to shut her eyes and plug her ears. That tactic was particularly futile since as soon as she shut her eyes Lt. Col. Mustang was threatening to set fire to her precious books and papers that she had painstakingly recreated for Hughes. Still, she was able to resist both Hughes attempting to cause her to give in due to the cuteness of his daughter and Roy threatening her papers with the knowledge that Hawkeye would be appreciative.

Pulling out to regroup Hughes and Roy decided to bring out the big guns and let Major Armstrong take over. Armstrong marched forward toward her while looming and sparkling with all seriousness. "The long family tradition of the Armstrong family had shown that birthday parties are wonderful things and that surprise parties are even better ..." The clerk struggled to ignore Armstrong but was unable to and then she heard a few key words "Beloved, Chocolates, new gun". With stars in her eyes she jumped up onto the desk and declared "For the sake of true love I will help you." Calmly stepping down she then gives them the information they wanted Hawkeye's birth date.
