I don't own FMA, but if I did I would make Roy and Riza go out.

Ch. 3

It was one o'clock in the afternoon and the library echoed with the sounds of footsteps as the group spread out to find the second clue.

Havoc and Fuery had gone down the B section of the section of the many bookshelves looking for anything that might be connected to Bontellos, Maes was talking with the librarian and Armstrong was lifting large amounts of books and taking them to the nearby tables for Breda and Farman to look through. And Roy was currently flipping through some books at the table next to Breda and Farman.

Roy put the book he was flipping through and picked up another one.

"Why did they take her?"

His mind was racing with thoughts about Riza. Roy picked up another book and as he opened the front cover a note fell out. He unfolded the paper and read it quickly.

"I found it."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded around the Colonel as he read aloud.

Congratulations Mustang, your memory hasn't left you even in all these years. As a prize you get this.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue,

The Earth Sisters love flowers,

and that's where we hid the next clue.

Yours truly,

The Rogue Alchemist.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

Havoc asked Breda after the Colonel finished.

"It means we need to find a place with a lot of flowers."

Maes had returned and stood next to Roy.

"Well, there's the park. My daughter loves to smell the flowers, isn't that adorable?"

They looked at him for a moment.

"Uh, yea."

"Let's go, the sooner we find the clue the sooner we get her back."

Roy led them out of the library and the group headed for the park.

Riza had gotten her binding off and was now looking for a week spot in the cell, she heard footsteps and Nicolas appeared. He sat down across from the cell and leaned the chair against the wall.

"I see you escaped your ropes."

"What do you want?"

He grinned at her annoyance.

"Just to talk, so tell me Lieutenant, how's my old friend Mustang been these days?"

"How do you know him?"

"He didn't tell you? We were friends a long time ago, in the town of Bontellos."

"That explains the eyes. Now answer me this, why are you after the Colonel?"

He stood up and walked to the bars standing next to them. His eyes flashed with anger

"He's a State Alchemist, he saw what they did to our homes but he still joined with them, that's hell of enough reason for me."

He turned and stomped down the hallway.
