/ Back at East City HQ / Roy Mustang / 11:00 AM /

Bang!

It was none other than Lt. Riza Hawkeye, purposely missing me by one centimeter by my ear with her gun. I instantly woke up at the sound of the gunfire.

"Sir, this is no time to be napping, you have a lot of paperwork to do."

Damn. I was sleeping on the job again. Better get back to work before Hawkeye decides not to miss purposely anymore.

"Um, yes Lt. Hawkeye. I was simply resting my eyes for a brief moment."

I saw Riza roll her eyes at me in disbelief with her arms crossed. She put her gun back in her holster and walked out of my office, and slamming the door, as if she wanted to make sure I was still awake. Jeez, she can be really scary sometimes.

I stared at my desk.

Two stacks of paper. Each about two feet, three feet high?

I started on the first stack, signing the papers.

∞ Later ∞ 5:00PM ∞

Finally. Done with both stacks.

Knock knock.

"Sir, may I intrude?"

"Come in, Lieutenant."

I knew Riza's voice anywhere... and she was the only one who always adressed me as 'sir.'

Everyone else either called me Coloniel, Roy, Mustang, bastard, bi...

"Sir, this is no time to be daydreaming. Have you finished your paperwork?"

I lost my trail of thought.

"Yes, it's all over there," I said, pointing to the right of me.

Riza made a whistle with her fingers and brought in Havoc and Feury.

"Each of you pick up one stack, NOW." She had her hand on her gun.

Havoc and Feury instantly turned blue.

"YES MA'AM!"

They both knew when she had her hand on her gun like that, she meant buisiness.

The picked up the papers and ran out of the room.

"So, Riza, what brings you here? Or are you just here for the paperwork."

Riza motioned her lips about to speak until the phone rang.

"You are dismissed."

Riza bowed slightly then exited the room, slamming the door behind her, as usual.

"Hello, Coloniel Mustang speaking."

It was the Fuhrer.

"Hello Mustang. You have an assignment. You will be accompanied by the Iron Blood and Armstrong. You guys will go to the site where Scar had killed 11 alchemists."

"11 alchemists have died?"

"Indeed, Mustang. I have decided to send in professionals. Please meet Iron Blood and Armstrong by the abandoned laboratory tomorrow morning at 6AM sharp. You will be investigating anything you find suspicious."

"Can't you send FullMetal to do it?"

"Are you questioning my orders?"

"No, sir."

"Then carry on with your mission."

Something felt wrong about this mission... but one to question the Fuhrer was unwise.

∞ Fuhrer's Office ∞

Ring, ring.

"Update, Ochirou."

"All is going as planned, Kese."

"Good. The Flame will certainly be... surprised."
