Taken

Two weeks had passed since Hawkeye visited Roy at the hospital. "Two weeks can seem so long without someone to talk to or anything to do." She said aloud to herself. Boredom filled the air of Riza's house. "I know what I can do. I'll go to the hospital." She grabbed some stuff, and headed out the door, only to bump into someone very familiar. She squeaked a bit, considering she fell when she ran into him. Riza grunted as she put a hand to her head, eyes closed. "Hey! Watch where you're g---" she paused when she opened her eyes. "Taisa?" Roy offered her his hand, and she took it, pulling herself up to her feet again. "What are you doing out of the hospital?" Riza asked, surprised to see only a few scratches.

"I got out of the hospital this morning. I just wanted to let you know." he said. He sounded okay. He looked alright, except for some minor scratches.

Riza let out a small sigh of relief. "Oh my god! Uhh, I'll prepare some lunch!" she shot out of nowhere. Roy looked at her confused. "What are you talking about, Hawkeye?" Riza, by this point, was searching around the pantry like a starving wolf. "AH-HA!" she shouted as she pulled out rice. She poured some water into a pot, and turned on the cook top. Within moments, Riza was once again standing in the doorway. Roy still looked confused. "Ya didn't have to make me lunch. Thank you, though." He said kindly. Riza opened the door a little more, signaling for Roy to come inside. The rice was finished by the time Riza set the table with pillows, bowls and chopsticks. She put some rice in each of their bowls, and sat down. She sighed. "So, are you feeling better?" she asked concerned.

"You shouldn't worry about me, I'm fine..." Roy said after swallowing. "But, sir..." Riza said, still very concerned. "I told you to call me Roy." There was a long pause. Finally, Riza nodded. "Only if you stop calling my Hawkeye." Roy smirked. "Can do." he said, as he took another bite. Silence once again filled the room, until Roy finally asked. "Riza...I feel I need some excercise." Hawkeye looked up from her bowl. "Hmm?" she replied as if not noticing Roy had said anything in the first place. "How about we go for a walk?" Roy suddenly asked. Riza barely had time to respond before Roy pulled her up. "Umm, huh?" she asked, still completely confused.

"Come on, let's go." He said as he headed for the door. Hawkeye didn't fight it, she went. "Should we bring Black Hayate?" Roy turned around at her. "He's sound asleep. I don't want to wake him." Riza nodded. "Alright, but where should we go?" she asked again. "Around." Roy answered simply. Not another word was said, as the two walked around central aimlessly, talking about random things. Roy kept keeping on the subject of paperwork, until they ended up in a Chinese garden with benches, statues, cherry blossoms, and a small pond with koi fish and lilly pads. Riza sat on a banch and Roy sat next to her. Hawkeye was looking at her reflection in the water. "Riza...?" Roy asked, a bit worried. But his voice didn't break her trans. What did, however, was a koi fish, which splashed around in the water, breaking Riza's reflection into millions of droplets of water. "Oh, what?" she asked looking up at Roy. "Are you alright?" he asked again, even more concerned than earlier. "Well, it's just...I still feel so bad for letting all that happen to you. You know, about last week." Riza answered, looking down, almost shamefully. Roy sighed, and put his hand under her chin, bringing it up. "Riza...I told you not to apoligize. It was just as much my fault. I was stupid enough to be sad about it. If you dwell on the past, the future never comes. You at least snapped the sadness out of me." he said, giving a small smile. Riza was happy to see him smiling.

Out of nowhere, Roy gasped. "What's wrong?" Riza asked. Roy didn't answer, instead, he pulled Hawkeye up from her seat, and ran away. Riza was tired of him pulling her around. "What is it!" she asked again. Roy didn't answer until they were in an ally. "I saw the fuhrer. I couldn't let him see us, or we would have been demoted or fired." he finally answered, panting as he did so. "Oh..." Riza said quietly. "Well then, we should walk back to my place." she said. Roy looked up. "Good idea." he said swallowing some breath. Riza nodded and started to climb over a dumpster. "Riza? Where are you?" he asked, looking around, not realizing she had jumped over the dumpster. "I'm on the other side." Roy looked over, and climbed over, but fell instead of gracefully like Hawkeye did, he fell face first on the ground. An 'Oof!' was heard, and Riza turned around, giggling. "Are you alright?" she asked. Roy sat up. "Augh...how did you land so perfectly?" he asked. Riza shrugged, helping him up. The sun was nearly down, and it was beginning to rain. The ally was getting darker and darker, and, of course, it was very long and very wet. "This is akward." Roy suddenly said after a few minutes of silence. "Only slightly." Riza said sarcasticly. Roy laughed quietly, looking up at the sky for light, when he suddenly bumped into Hawkeye, who, for some reason, was staring at the exit. "What's the matter?" Roy asked, looking in the direction she was. His eyes widened. "Wh---what it that?" he asked. Riza didn't move. She forgot her gun. Crap! How stupid am I! Leaving my gun at home! DAMN! She scolded herself mentally, still staring at the exit. In the middle of the two ally walls, were two lights.

They looked like headlights on a car. "A...car?" Riza suddenly asked. Roy nodded. The next thing he knew, Riza started walking toward it. "What are you---ARE YOU INSANE?" Roy asked rather loudly. Hawkeye just kept walking. "It's the only way out. It's probably nothing." she said, calm as ever. Roy just stared at her as she walked closer and closer to the lights. Riza reached the source. "Oh." she said almost happily. "Roy, it is a car." she said. Roy looked slightly relieved, and began walking towards her. Riza, in the mean time, was looking in the windows, which, sadly, were tinted. "I don't think anyone's in here. Maybe they just left their lights on." she said as she walked around to the back of the truck. She saw doors in the back. "What is this, and ice cream truck?" She asked herself. Riza put her hands on the door handles in the back of the truck. Roy was almost at the car, when he heard a loud scream. He gasped. "R--Riza!" he asked. The truck pulled out. Roy's eyes widened, and he ran after the car, pulling his gloves on. "RIZA!" He screamed, running even faster. The truck's speed picked up. Tears began to fall down Roy's face. "No! COME BACK HERE!" He continued to yell. Roy began snapping over and over again, until he realized that no flames were coming out. DAMN THE RAIN! he thought to himself, as his speed slowed down. "NO!" Roy screamed once more, trying to run faster. He tripped over a tree branch in the middle of the road. (A tree branch, wtf?) Roy's face began bleeding from smashing in the middle of the road. He cried, as he watched the car lights disappear. "Riza..."

That next morning

Roy barged into the office. "Colonel? You aren't supposed to be back for another five days." Havoc said, cigarette in his mouth. "Then why are you back!" Roy asked, extremely pissed at his stupid remark. "Because I'm not terribly injured." Havoc answered, slightly annoyed by Roy's bad mood. "And what's up with you?" He added. Roy didn't answer. Instead, he sat at his desk, put his head down, and began crying. Havoc stood up. "Mustang...why are you crying?"

"Lieutenant Hawkeye..." He said, in complete tears. Havoc gasped. "She's...DEAD!" he asked, stupidly, yet sereous. Roy's face shot up, and his sadness turned into anger. "NO, YOU DIPSHIT! SHE'S NOT DEAD! SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!" he screamed.

Havoc clenched his fists. "...By who?" he asked sadly. Roy shrugged, his head back on his desk. "Well, we had better go look for her. Crying isn't going to help." said a voice from the doorway. Havoc and Mustang looked up at the door, and saw Major Armstrong standing in the doorway. Havoc smiled, and Roy wiped a few tears away, nodding. "Yea, let's go!" Roy said, standing up.

"Augh...what happened?" Lieutenant Hawkeye sat up, completely confused. "Where---" she started, but was cut off by her own thoughts. Oh, that's right. That truck...WHO THE HELL WAS THAT, ANYWAY! She asked herself mentally. She stood up and looked around the strange closet she was in. There were bags and jars everywhere. "A hospital?" She asked herself. "Hmm weird.." she said, as she headed for the door. She turned the knobb, but the door didn't open. Her eyes got smaller, but she didn't panic, Elizabeth Hawkeye does not do panic. She simply turned around and studied her surroundings for a moment. "It's kinda cold, but I don't mind...why are there so many plastic bags everywhere?" she asked, noticing there were lots. She walked closer to a shelf of them, cautiously. Riza poked one, and it fell of the shelf, making her squeal a bit. What made her scream was when she saw what was inside of the bag---the head of a young woman.
