-Audrey McTiernan-

Riza walked over to Scieszka and tapped her on the shoulder making the poor girl jump and drop a pile of books on her own foot.

"OW! Oh hey Lieutenant Hawkeye. You scared me." Scieszka laughed nervously. "What can I do for you ma'am?"

"I need you to get me the military files on James Mustang. All of the Scieszka and I don't care who's names are on them, get me the files." Riza told her and Scieszka gasped.

"B-but Lieutenant… I'm not allowed to pull those files- uh alright… alright I'll get them for you." Scieszka ran back into the back and Riza sat down.

"Good morning Lieutenant Hawkeye." Alphonse Elric walked over to her. He was a tall young man, his blonde hair was getting longer as time went on. Although Roy had taken the Fuehrer-ship everyone still dubbed him Colonel, he didn't seem to mind. Al stretched and yawned, sitting down across from Riza. "So how'd you get in here? You're not a State Alchemist." He smiled. He had changed his hair style as a tribute to his older brother who had sacrificed himself for his younger brother's body and soul.

"I pulled a few strings, everyone knows me around here so I'm pretty much allowed to roam where I want." Riza told him. Al laughed and smiled. He was an attractive young man, almost every girl in the military would melt when he spoke to them. He had a carefree attitude but really when coaxed into work he was as serious as any battle scarred soldier in the military. He certainly took his work seriously and was slowly working himself up the ranks.

"I see… Lieutenant you seem to be extremely influential around here."

"How are things going on your brother?" Riza broached a subject that people rarely talked about.

"I'm glad you asked. It's going great, I've found something that I think might work but I'm not sure. I'm going to try it though just in case." Al smiled and told her. Suddenly a young woman walked up behind Al and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Sir. I returned those books for you." She had long silky black hair that hung to her waist. Her eyes were wide and deep ebony black. Her lightly tanned skin shone fresh and clean. Her hair was pulled back in a braid, entwined with silver streams. Her bangs and sideburns were a pale silver color and hung free from the braid. Her bangs were brushed to the side.

"Thank you Lieutenant." He smiled. "Riza I don't know if you've met Audrey McTiernan." Al gesture to the young woman.

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am." Audrey bowed slightly. Riza eye caught on a silver chain edging from her belt loop to her pocket. Audrey was wearing a pair of black cargo capris with silver streams down the sides. Her top was a black long sleeved shirt with a grey hooded t-shirt over it. Her sleeves were pulled over her hands.

"You two aren't in your military uniforms." Riza noted.

"Yeah, the Fuehrer said that we didn't need to since we were in and out so much." Al was wearing a pair of tan cargo pants with a dark blue long sleeved shirt with a white t-shirt over it. His own watch chain was hanging from his belt loop, leading into his pocket.

"Ah… I see… you're a State Alchemist?" Riza looked over at Audrey and she nodded.

"I broke a record. I passed the Alchemy exam at 13 and became the first female State Alchemist." She smiled.

"You're what… 19? That means you would have taken the test just after FullMetal." Riza said thoughtfully. AL stood up.

"We better get going, we have some place to be. You ready?" He looked at Audrey who nodded.

"Yes sir." She followed him out of the library. Scieszka walked over with a thick file in her hand.

"Lieutenant Hawkeye?" Riza turned as Scieszka said her name.

"Yes… oh thank you." Riza thanked her as she passed her the file.
