Ed had been spending most of his time in his room studying up on alchemy and all he could about what the way that the Gate works and possible ways of returning home. Alphonse started to fear that Ed was liable to lose his sanity with number of hours he was spending alone in his room away from others, but he knew that working on a way home was more important than begin among others at the moment. Hohenheim had kept his distance from the boys for a long time from a distance he had been watching Greed in secrecy and he had known what Greed had planned for Hohenheim and the others.

"Edward, whatever you're doing, please don't let Greed know what you are doing or else your very life maybe ended," Hohenheim thought as he turned his gaze from the rain streaked window.

Envy had been monitoring his wound from his fight with Colonel Mustang and Lt. Mustang, but he was planning on how to put Fletcher in his place after his run in with him after the fight. Fletcher had learned to keep his distance from Envy, but as he sat alone in the shadows he was unaware of whatever diabolical plan Envy had planned to harm others.

"Fletcher, I want you to stay here, I have some unfinished business take care of with the Colonel and a meddling alchemist," Envy said as he turned into Lt. Hawkeye once again.

Fletcher could care less, but secretly he feared for the Colonel and Al especially his brother, Russell, but as he watched Envy change into the Lieutenant he could only think what could happen in the time he spent been trapped here in the abandoned house.

"Brother, please be safe," Fletcher thought as he watched his captor escaped out the door and head towards East Command Headquarters.

Mustang had been sleeping soundly after begin hit in the head by an alchemy book from Lt. Hawkeye; Al and the others had found rooms to sleep in for the night and as each of them went to their separate rooms, only one of them could tell something was liable to happen tonight. Al brushed his hand across the windowsill of his room and in a flash the image of Envy flashed through his mind and the fight that had happened with Lt. Hawkeye, Mustang and Envy.

"Nothing is going to happen, I think the events of tonight are starting to tangle up with my visions," Al said as he retreated to his bed.

Envy watched as the lights in headquarters started to go off one by one and when the last light went out, a sinister smile crossed his lips as he made his way down onto the battle grounds of the headquarters and slinked pass the guards as a guard and made his move inside the headquarters. The halls were dark and quiet as the companions slept soundly without fear of attack, but as Envy walked the halls as the Lieutenant, he opened each door silently as he checked to see which room was Al's. He soon found the room and made his way into the shadows of Al's room and soon made his move.

"Wake up Alphonse, there is something I must tell you," Lt. Hawkeye said as she stood in the shadows.

"What is it and can't it wait till morning?" Al asked sleepily as he turned over in his bed, but he soon realized that it was not the Lieutenant as he sat up and noticed the symbol of the Homunculi on her hand.

"I must tell you now Alphonse or else you maybe unable to stop Envy's plan to kill MUSTANG!" Lt. Hawkeye said as Envy shed his disguise to reveal his true self.

"What do you want?"

"I have a message for you on who I will attack on my long list of "Enemies to Kill, Alphonse."

"Who do you want?"

"THE FLAME ALCHEMIST!"

With that Envy fled the room through the window as Al screamed out "NO" as he awoke from his nightmare in a cold sweat and his scream went throughout the headquarters to the others as they sprung up in their beds and ran towards Al's room.

"Alphonse, what happened?" Lt. Hawkeye asked as she sat on the edge of Al's bed.

"I had a vision of Envy as you Lt. and he told me who he plans to get rid of next," Al said as he looked around the room to the others.

"Who is it?" was the question that seemed to be upon the faces of the friends and other Military officers as they waited for an answer.

"He's after Mustang and this can only mean one thing."
"That mean's he's here in the city same where," Russell said as he answered the one question on everyone's mind.

"How do we know for sure?" Lt. Hawkeye asked as she turned to Russell.

"Envy was the one that attacked Colonel Mustang tonight," Lust said as she moved from the shadows to add more to the situation.

"Right, Lt. Hawkeye said as she tried to understand where Lust was going with her thought.

"That means and proves and that he is within the cities boundaries, but we don't know where he is and unless we find him, he may fulfill his threat against Mustang if we don't take the chance to find him," Russell said as he looked to the doorway as his mind's eye wandered to Mustang's room as everyone looked towards his room.

Mustang was in serious danger and there wasn't much time to find Envy before another attack or possible encounter him disguised as someone else and cause more harm or worse, try and pull what he had done to Scar and now possibly Scar.

Envy made his way through the halls as the others sat in Al's room asking more and more about his dream which gave him time to slink into Mustang's room where he found the alchemist asleep, but sweating in his sleep. Envy slinked to Mustang's bedside and silently shook his arm as to try and bring him from his sleep, but as he awoke he slapped the air and caught Envy in the face. As Mustang tried to open his eyes to see who was in the room, he swung his arm again Envy caught his arm and yanked Mustang up as he placed his placed his left hand on Mustang's mouth.

"Good evening Colonel Mustang, the Flame Alchemist. It is so good to see you again and may I say for the last time," Envy said as Mustang widened his eyes in fright as an evil grin crossed Envy's face as he removed his hand from Mustang's face.

"What do you want with me you slimy bastard!" Mustang said as pain shot through his arm.

"I've come with a message about the poison that now flows through your very veins is the same that ended the life of once great State Alchemist Killer, Scar. Now if you are willing to work with me, I will tell you the exact poison that now flows through your arm."

"What did you do to me?"
"Now, now Colonel, I am in control of this situation!" Envy said as he tightened his grip on Mustang's neck, "I hold all the cards in this game of cat-and-mouse and I also hold the antidote, the exact poison is the same used to kill vermin like yourself and those other "dogs of the Military", but believe me it won't do any good to give that information to you because its starting to work as we speak."

With that Envy dropped Mustang on the floor of the room and slinked into the shadows as he disappeared like vapor, leaving Mustang gasping for air on the floor where Envy dropped him. As Envy disappeared, Lt. Hawkeye came in and found the Colonel gasping for breath as he grabbed his neck and his arm as he crawled back towards his bed.

"Colonel, what happened to you?" Lt. Hawkeye asked as she helped the weary Colonel to bed.

"I fell out of bed because of a bad nightmare, but it felt so real, but I'm fine now," Mustang said, lying to the Lieutenant.

"You better be or will put you in your place," Hawkeye said as she saw that Mustang was fine and shut the door behind her as she made her way back to her room, but a sense of foreboding and darkness seemed to be looming around Mustang's room and Hawkeye could sense, but she disregarded it as nothing.

Dawn was hours away and Envy crept back into his hideout to sleep through the night and the early dawn so that he could attack his enemies with a fresh start and as he slept a dark smile crossed his features in the darkness of the cool house. Fletcher had been awake since Envy had left for his "secret mission" and since his return and when he saw the evil smile, a fear of what had happened or was going to happen crossed his mind.

"What am I going to do to get out of this mess and what have you been doing?" Fletcher thought as he watched Envy sleep like a baby with evil dreams of attacking friends and allies of the young alchemist, Alphonse Elric.
