#11 Liar
"You never tried to get to know her! You know nothing about her!" Havoc screamed at the top of his lungs. Roy had just gotten information that Havoc had taken Riza Hawkeye out early last night and she hadn't shown up for work today yet. His anger was about to boil over; he'd had enough of every one's attempts to get to her. This was an internal battle he had daily when she walked into the office; did he break rules and ask her to dinner, or did he remain professional like he was supposed to? Every day he chose the latter; remain professional so no one would get into trouble was his reasoning. "Liar! Just because I decide not to date her doesn't mean I don't know anything about her! I choose to remain professional here so neither she nor I would have to face an inquiry! But it looks like I'm going to have to deal with one anyways; do you realize how much trouble you've gotten me in Jean?" Roy screamed back, his voice angry and unforgiving. "No; and I don't care. You've had the opportunity to date her for years now and you never jumped at the chance. So I did; and it's not like it's an everyday thing either. She spends a lot of time alone at her house or out with her best friend, some woman named 'Little Rae.' Besides, I know why she's late today; she said something about having to get things for dinner with Rae tonight." Havoc said. Seconds later she came in the door and stopped short as everyone stared at her; Roy's face turned bright red and he sat down, picking up his pen and scribbling on his paperwork, trying to seem busy. "What's going on here?" she said, walking over to Havoc. "Nothing; but I think you need to hear this. He found out on his own about us and blew up at me for no reason." he said, pressing play on a tape recorder he had hidden on her bookshelf. The room was filled with their screaming voices again and Riza listened, her eyes slowly traveling over to Roy as his face turned redder and he wrote faster on the papers. As the tape finished she pulled her gun out of the holster and put it directly on Havoc's forehead. "Get out." She said, her face beginning to turn red with embarrassment. "You better start running now because as soon as I get done talking to him I'm gonna come after you." she said, her voice chilling the blood in everyone's veins. They all left the room and she put the gun up, walking over to Roy's desk and grabbing his shirt collar, causing him to stand up. "So you finally figured it out, huh Colonel Mustang?" she said loud enough incase someone was listening at the door and releasing his collar. "Well, yes; I guess I did." he responded. "So they think you know nothing about me… hmm…where was the last place I got injured?" she asked, stepping away from him and lowering her voice so only he could hear her. "Right there; on your side. A bullet went through the side of your chest, grazing your arm." he said, lowering his voice also and looking at her with confusion. "Good, now where was the last place I went on vacation?" she said, smiling. "A cottage retreat in the mountains near the east." he said, smiling back at her. "Who was the last person I kissed?" she said, stepping closer to him, her voice becoming a whisper. "Me." he whispered back. "And where did I sleep last night?" she responded, leaning in to him. "My house, with me." he said, kissing her lips lightly. "There; you know me better than anyone else in this whole country does. Now, I'm gonna go let Havoc know we won't be going on anymore dates because he ruined anything we had and you can take care of that tape recorder, since I can hear it running…" she said, letting go of him and turning to walk out the door, her gun pulled from the holster. He grabbed her arm just before she reached the door and asked her who 'Little Rae' was. "Think about it; Rae? Roy? Do they sound similar in sound?" she said, looking back up at him. "But why 'Little'? I figured you would've said 'Big Rae' instead." he said to her. "If I was referring to your ego, yes; I would have said big. But since I'm referring to something a little lower than your head, I'll stick to 'Little' for now." she said, patting his arm before opening the office door and leaving. He took the tape out of the recorder and destroyed it, melting it into a lump of plastic in the trashcan. He wasn't phased by what she said to him; he would get back at her later that night after dinner. He shook his head and smiled; No one knew her like he did; no one would ever know her like he knew her.
