Why didn't any body review? Why? Am I so bad, the worst writer in the world? T.T My heart is broken!

Title from "Nightwish", one of my favorite songs. I think it is the end. Just like it should be. Now I'll wait for a film to arrive or write another one! I've already got some plans.

Many many thanks to all people who helped me and reviewed! I don't know if I satisfy you but I've tried. (FCE practice – 57 from Use Of English, ups)

Chapter 9

The end of all hope

Ed stood up when Envy entered the room. He ran to him and grasped his shoulders.

"What did you do to Riza?" he shouted.

"Where is she?" Al was angry too.

Envy said nothing. He gave them mischievous smile.

"I saw she was taken by police."

"YOU were the one who took her!" Ed was totally pissed off. "Where did you take her? Speak, you bastard!"

"You won't grow if you shout so much, believe me." Envy was glad he controlled the situation.

"I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" Elric hit the sin.

The serious fight was going to happen but suddenly Winry stood between fighters.

"Don't behave like children!" she said angrily "Your mother has a problem and we don't have time for that now."

"But..." Ed opened his mouth.

"Where is a police's prison?" she asked.

Ed and Al looked at each other. Envy sighted.

"You don't know?" he asked "Really, Who am I working with! Come on, my good characters, an evil one will lead you!"

Ed said nothing but it was obvious he was furious. Maybe Al was a little bit calm down. They went out of Riza's apartment and started to walk to the police's prison which was near the Headquarter. Winry proposed to take a taxi but Envy refused. He didn't want to be seen by anybody. She said he could change his shape but the Sin suddenly walked into dark suspicious alley. They were walking for a while didn't know even where exactly they were now. But Envy was looking like he did. He was proud of himself and of what he had done.

They stooped opposite to back wall of the prison. They were amazed because of the big hole on the second floor.

"What had happened?" asked Winry.

"I don't know" Envy shrugged "It looks like it was a battle here not long time ago."

"Scar!" shouted Ed "He had to make this and set Riza and Scieszka free."

"I think mother Riza should be with Scar rather with the Colonel" said Al and went to the hole.

Ed made a ladder and all four went up and entered damaged police's prison.

"I was reading a newspaper! I swear I didn't see anything!" cried prisoner's guardian.

He was kneeling in front of Roy who was ready to snap. Scar and Scieszka weren't here. They escaped when the mess had started.

"Where is she?" Flame Alchemist was in very bad mood "A woman, my subordinate. Long, blonde hair, red eyes, red dress, slim and quite beautiful."

"I don't know who you are talking about sir!" Roy squished his teeth and was just about to snap "Ok, ok, she was here some time ago. She did this big hole…"

"No! This hole made a murderer Scar" Roy put emphasis on this sentences.

"Oh yes, sorry sir, I forgot! Scar did it and then your woman ran away."

"Why didn't you stop her?"

"How? She was furious and muttered something like "I will kill you Roy". I was just scared. And this big man with tattoo arm and his love… not everyone is an alchemist sir."

"You bastard!" Ed ran to Roy and hit him with all his strength "What did you do to Riza?"

"Edward!" Envy shouted "I'm envious! How can you treat this person in the same way as me?!"

"I'm trying to find out where did this girl go!" he said firmly "And how dare you hit your boss? You want me to take back your silver clock?"

"Why did you put her here?" asked Al.

"It's not the matter to discuss now. Sorry boys, I have no time to chat." He turned and went out of the prison.

"What we will do now?" asked Winry.

"I don't know!" Ed was mad and hit the wall. "I think Riza went back to the house now. We will go there."

"I hope not" said Envy.

Full Metal gave him evil glance.

"Ok, sinner. Where is she? TELL IT!"

"I won't until you kiss me."

Al and Winry redded. Prisoner's guardian stood up and quickly left the room.

"WHAT?!"

"Kiss me"

"NO!"

"Why not? You did it quite often. Why don't you do this now?"

"Because… because…"

"Your brother and friend are here? Come on, shorty, you are not a baby! I hope you are not ashamed of them, are you? They both know what love is and how important a kiss is!"

"But…"

"Come on!" Winry looked at her watch "Kiss him and we must to leave. I hear more police is going here."

"I will kiss Winry to make you fell better" proposed Al and grasped the girl.

"Ok, ok!" Ed stood close to Envy.

He lifted his head and gave a homunculus a light kiss. But he suddenly surround young alchemist by his arms and gave him a passionate one. Ed didn't try to escape. It looked like he was enjoying it. Al and Winry looked at each other.

When Ed and Envy eventually stopped, the Sin smiled to everyone with his distinctive smile.

"I think she is in his house."

Roy called a taxi.

"To Fanfics street please."

"Yes mister Mustang!" a familiar voice was heard.

Vicki – sister of Riza, winked to him.

"Hey!" he greeted her "You have another job?"

"Yes, this in the restaurant was too risky, especially when you and sister have a date. So, wild horse, where are we going?"

"I think your quarrelsome sister is in my bedroom and waits for me"

Yes, Roy and Envy had right, Riza was in the Colonel's house. She was wandering inside and thinking why higher-ups always had got nicer houses. Roy's was placed in modern district, very fashionable and snobbish. Wives of Generals had here their favorite gardens with lots of trees and trendy flowers. Roy lived in a quite small building with two floors. He bought it after he had became the Colonel. It made him being near to his superiors.

Riza was thinking what she could do now to hurt the Colonel. She really wanted to. After this all years of being with him, protecting him and advising she received only one useless date! She loved him, she always did. And he never even noticed she is a woman! And she needed him, just like he needed her.

But why this stupid man didn't understand that? Now it was time for revenge. She decided to break his heart – just like he had done to her and then left. No one would be care about his job, his aims, life, even his shirts! From this time he had to do it all alone! Yes, ALONE! Maybe one of his beautiful girlfriends would protect him from other people!

Speaking about girlfriends… Riza started to search for his photo album. She would find it and burn all photos of his women. Just for revenge. But it was neither in the dinning room, nor in the kitchen. Riza pushed a door to his bedroom.

"Hmm, nice place to sleep and make love" she said to herself.

She went to a cupboard near a bed. There were two photos on it. She reached for it. In the first was he with his old friend Hughes. She raised her eyebrow. So, even in a place like that he still remembers his friends? How sweet.

Another was a big group photo of him and his friends from military. She was standing next to him. With face, like always, saying nothing. It was a photo she liked very much. She didn't have many photos with her beloved one ("And I'm not going to have any from this time!"). She and the Colonel, she and the Flame Alchemist, she and Roy…

Roy entered the house and suddenly bumped into Edward and his merry companions.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" they both shouted.

"It's my house! Leave it now!" Roy said angrily.

"No! Mother Riza is here and…" Ed started but then Roy opened a locker's door and pushed the visitors inside.

"Hey! What are you…"

He ran upstairs. When Riza heard someone was coming she quickly locked the door. She put on her gun.

"I know you are here, First Lieutenant!" Roy shouted. "Open the door!"

"No sir!" she aimed her gun.

"If you don't open, I'll blow it up!"

"It's your door sir! But when you do it, I'll fire!"

"You are a burglar! I can call a police!"

"And take me back to prison? Oh no, Colonel, I'll never follow your order again! You are nothing better than all military and the Fuhrer! I was stupid I had ever loved you and protect you!"

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

"NO!"

The house quaked. There was nothing left from the door. Roy used his gloves to burn it. Now he was standing in a flying dust surrounding him and looking angrily at Riza. She didn't put off the gun.

"I'm ready to fire!" she said but her voice shacked.

"I'm ready to snap if you make any move." He entered the room.

She couldn't pull the trigger. There was something in his eyes that she couldn't resist. Something likes… passion or something…

"Why did you send me to the prison?"

"Because you prefer to date with serial murderer than me"

"It's not that I prefer! You…"

"But it was you who left that night." He was coming closer.

"But… why didn't you follow me?"

"You are really a woman, Hawkeye" Roy was so close that he started to play with her hair. "How can I know what do you want if you don't speak to me. Partners should tell everything to each other. It makes their relationship grow."

"We aren't partners" she put off her pistol.

"What the heck he is planning to do?" Ed was walking around in small locker.

"Think, shorty, THINK!" Envy was doing Alphonce a plait.

"I hope nothing bad with mother" Al's voice was full of worry.

"I hope not." Winry crouched in locker's corner.

"You all three are so childish!" Envy shook his head.

"I'm not childish!" Ed shouted. "And you are…"

"So why are you thinking he is going to kill her or something? Really, guys! He is in love in her, just like Ed in me!"

"Don't say such stupid thing! I am not in love in you!"

"So why did you kiss me?"

"Because you asked me to!"

"Don't say it wasn't delight, you little liar!"

"Stop arguing!" Winry shouted "We have been sitting here for two hours now! Boys, let's do something!"

"The doors are open" The Sin ended doing Al's plait.

"What?"

"He didn't closed them"

She looked at Al and Ed.

"You knew about it?"

"Yes, he forgot to lock us" admitted Full Metal.

"So, why we are still here?"

"Because…" boys looked at each other. "We want to know what will happen next."

Winry tried to say something more but the door was opened. Roy wore a dressing gown and was looking very happy and relaxing.

"Good day my little children" he said "Sorry for keeping you here for so long. Don't you want something to eat?"

Ed was just about to say he is not a child but when he heard a chance to eat, he quickly changed his mind. They all went to a kitchen and Roy started to make a scramble egg.

"Is mother Riza ok?" Al asked.

"Yes, she is rather ok." The Colonel answered.

"Where is she? Can I see her?"

"Rather not. She is sleeping now."

All four exchange looks. They knew what had happened.
