Scar walked around the streets looking for any signs of State Alchemists he knew there were many in central but he wasn't dumb enough to just walk in a base full of them "there has to be one out on the streets somewhere... there has to" he sighed to himself.

"You're shocked?" She asked, "They aren't much like really shadows anymore they have there own personalities and interests. Hell they can turn to just about anything you want. What's your favorite animal Al?" She asked with a grin.
"I do believe Sudina will go nuts with out food." She told Ed. "So there first then you can point out good place to shop... I need books. I've read all of mine."

Sudina nodded as food was mentioned "yeah meet dumplings, and cake... ohh and pies." she said mouth watering "and yeah shopping... It's always fun but food is better"

Edward led the way out "so to the bakery then... and as for shops... they have a few close to there..." looking back to Sudina "well I know the bakery has pastry and soup as well as pies and cakes, but as for dumplings..." he stopped to look around "well they might have" he said at last. "Her and her stomach." She said keeping in step with Ed. "So what kind of shops?" She questioned looking up at him her eyes shining at the prospect of new books or maybe something else if she could find anything that was. Sudina nodded as she walked on the other side of Ed her mouth watering with the thought of food. "So how far is it from here?" "My favorite animal is a cat!" He responded without hesitation. He listened to their conversations of food and senses and he felt a bit remorseful, but after so many years... He'd get over it.

Scar made his way down a street hearing the commotion of others They may be sate Alchemists He thought to himself as he made his way down the street slowly getting closer to them.

Edward sighed "well it's not to far only a couple of blocks... Misery should know... my brother and I found her there" he added trying to bring Al into the conversation some how.
Seeing a figure walking towards them Edward froze the guy looking slightly familiar. Quickly regaining his composure he moved grabbing Misery with one hand and Sudina with the other "This way... I know a short cut" he said through gritted teeth not wanting to scare the girls yet at the same time wanting them to move fast "Come on Al!" he called after his brother knowing he most likely recognized the guy as well.
We are to far from the bakery to hid there... If we go back to the base we put them in danger... we just have to loose him some how... he thought as he pulled the girls behind him.

Alphonse followed as quickly and stealthily as he could manage. He had seen Scar only a split second before Ed had.
"Brother, why don't you go on ahead? He isn't after me, so I can hold him off while you escape. We can meet back at the base in two hours." Alphonse had been on the nasty end of Scar's attacks before, but he knew the Ishbarite wouldn't hurt him unprovoked.

"Cat right." Misery said. "Balthazar cat." She told him as Ed grabbed her. "What?" She asked as he pulled her. Balthazar followed turning into a cat and jumping up on Al's shoulder watching behind them. "What is it Edo?" She asked again holding back a blush because of his hand on her arm. "Who was that guy? That's why were going this way isn't it?" She asked. "Why are you running from him? Or is it your trying to protect us?" She asked trying to get something from him. "Can you at least loosen your grip a little if your going to pull me around I think your bruising my arm." She said as shadows floated around them all like cloud whips. "Esci stop it." She hissed at the dragon on her shoulder. "That trick works in the dark not broad day light..."

It was just then when Havoc ran up, gasping for breath. He glanced at the group, from one person to the other. He then caught his breath and popped a cigarette into his mouth. "The Colonel sent me to warn you of an Alchemist Killer," Havoc paused, "it seems there are rumors that he's been spotted around here. Be careful." "Thank you, Mr Havoc. He's right behind us, so if you'd be so kind as to run..." Alphonse was attempting to keep a brave face about this. The last thing they needed was the killer finding all of them in one spot. Jean Havoc froze. "You can't be serious...he's right behind us...?" He swiftly turned.

Edward had skidded to a sudden stop at the appearance of Havoc before them. Catching his breath for a moment he listened to the many conversations around him. Looking to Misery first he only nodded to confirm her thoughts but loosened his grip slightly, then he looked to Havoc "Yes, he is" he said still panting.
He slowly turned to his brother "No, I am not going to leave you behind..." he said lowly "Now let's go!" he yelled as took off again pulling the girls behind him.

Sudina at first was trying resist being pulled again but soon gave up He's worried about my sister and me.. but he don't even know us yet... she thought as she was dragged she took a quick glance back wanting to see what this guy looked like but all she could see was Al and this new guy Havoc.
Sudina looked over to her sister for a moment then back down the ally. Closing her eyes she focused on the distance between their group and the Killer, finding it she opened her eyes, turned her free hand open palmed back, as a wall of fire was put up right behind them. Dropping her hand she sighed "that should slow him... I think"
