Allright people. I know that the first two are in itallic, but I thought I'd put an end to that... cuz I wanna...

Chapter 3

Renee was now on her back, looking into the face of someone who had the intentions of hurting her. "Renee, I'll give you one phone call to your friends" He said. "Okay. No more attacks from me, and I get a phone call" Rini said. He removed his foot from her chest and let her breathe a moment. "I'll get the phone" He walked away.

"How are we supposed to find Rini on our own?" Al questioned his brother. "Well, if we leave it to Roy it'll take a few years to even get him out of that chair" Ed said as he walked down the hall. "But we have no means of finding her" Al said. "She's tough, she can handle whatever that guy throws at her. She's not just some civilian, this is Rini we're talking about" Ed had strong faith in Renee, he knew she'd never give up. "But what about the blood and the bracelet. If that thing is so valuble, he's bound to have taken it off of her already" Al wasn't as sure as Ed that Rini'd survive. "I know. That's why it's important to get to her in time. But still... she's exceeded all expectations" Ed opened the door and walked outside of the military building. "We'll find her Al, don't worry" He said, even though he was worried himself. Riza appeared behind them. "What do you want?" Ed asked. "You have a phone call from Miss Koontza in Colonel Mustang's office" She said. Ed and Al scrambled to the office. Roy punched the "Speaker Phone" button and Ed listened intently. "Hey, Blondie, Al. If ya didn't know it's Rini" She said over the phone.

"Hi Rini"

"Hello Renee"

"Where are you?" Ed asked. "Ich benötige Hilfe. Bitte werde ich hier in irgendeiner Art Villa gehaftet. Ich bin nicht sicher, die eins es ist, aber es ist ein bewaldeter Bereich. Kommen Sie bitte!" Rini replied in a hushed tone. "I need to go now" The phone clicked off. "What'd she just say?" Roy looked confused. "It's German. She said, 'I'm in need of help. Please, I'm stuck here in some kind of mansion. I'm not sure which one it is but it's a wooded area. Please come!'" Ed translated. "Okay, then we shall go" Roy led the two boys to the car. "I think I know where it is" Roy said, pondering the pet names that Ed and Renee had given each other. "We're here" Roy said, snapping Ed back to reality.

Renee paced beside the window. Her enegry level was dropping. Then she looked down and saw a small blonde dot. Even though she couldn't exactly see Alphonse, she heard "Clang, clang, clang" and that was proof that he was present. She was getting more tired by the moment, but who cared? Her two best friends were coming to save her. She sat down in the floor and propped up against the wall. Rini closed her eyes for a moment, and went to sleep.

Ed raced down the halls looking for Renee. He suddenly ran head-on into some guy. "Who are-" The stranger would've said "you" execpt he'd gotten the crap punched out of him. He found a door and opened it. He found an enourmous marble floored room. And in the corner, was Rini. Al entered the room with the bracelet and threw it to Ed. He caught it in his hand and hurried to Renee. "Rini" She tried shaking her awake. No response. "Rini!" He shouted. "Brother" Al was propped up against the door. "Not now Alphonse!" Ed yelled and looked at Renee. He looked down at the bracelet and put it around her wrist. Ed fiddled with the clasp for a minute and finally secured it around her wrist. Her eyes slowly opened a few seconds later. "Was? Was geschah?" Rini responded groggily. "Englisches Rini, englisch" He reminded her. "Brother!" Al shouted. "What Al?" Edward said, annoyed. "He's awake" Al replied. The door burst open and sent Al flying. "Renee Koontza, I WILL kill you" The man said. "Go to hell" Renee stood up, weary but to angry to care. He pointed a gun at her. "If you move, I'll shoot" He said. Renee froze but glared at him. Renee's bracelet started glowing purple. He fired two shots into her shoudler before collapsing. As the bullets traveled into her shoulder, near her heart, she fell backwards into Ed's arms. Roy entered the room. "Is everything okay? I heard gun shots" He said. "We need to get her to a hospital" Roy said as he spotted Renee. "Right" Ed picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the room. "Is there anything going on with those two?" Roy asked. "Nope, not that I know of" Al said, walking out. Ed layed Rini in the back seat of the car and sat next to her head. Rini blinked and glanced down at her wounds. "Fluch. Er schoß mich" She muttered. "Don't cuss so much Rini" Ed scolded. "Well blah to you" She said weakly. "Hold on Rini" Ed said. "I got shot it the shoulder, dude" She replied. "I few more centimeters and it would've been your heart" Ed said. "Uh-huh" She rolled her eyes.
