Miralover: Sorry for taking so long to get this chapter out. I couldn't get access to any of my files and I had to baby-sit.

As the dragon placed Reyna in her prison, Gerald was deciding about what he was going to do with Al.

"What am I going to do with this suit of armor?" Gerald said to himself as he paced back and forth with his back to Al.

He decided to try Al on to see if he would make a good shield. He turned around and put Al on. He then walked down a long hallway to his right until he approached a large set of doors. It had a design of two dragons on each door that twisted and turned in different directions. All the heads pointed toward the door knob and with a deep breath, Gerald opened the door and stepped inside. The room contained a large golden colored desk and a few lounge chairs that looked really fancy. Gerald walked to the desk and pressed a button that was hidden underneath it. The wall behind the desk flipped over to the other side to reveal a full-length mirror. Gerald walked up to the mirror and did some Armstrong like posses in front of the mirror. After a few minutes of doing so, he grunted and threw Al to the floor behind him in disgust.

"This won't do. It's just a useless piece of garbage. Oh well, I guess it could rot in the basement…or it could be of some use after all," Gerald whispered evilly to himself as he thought up an idea.

If Gerald had turned around at that moment, he would have seen Al get up and walk out the room looking for the basement.


At headquarters...

After getting the location of where Gerald's housing company, Havoc decided that he would drive Ed and Armstrong there with back up of course.

"Are we there yet?" Ed asked Armstrong as they drove past the outskirts of the city.

"Just relax Edward. After all, being patient has been in the Armstrong family for generations," Armstrong replied.

Ed sighed and leaned his head against the window watching the world pass by. After a few minutes of leaning against the window, his eyes caught sight of a large grey building with the words Housing 4 Us Co. printed at the top.

"Is this the place?" Ed asked as they got closer.

Havoc parks the car a few yards away from the building and steps out of the car. Ed and Armstrong follow suit and hear a car screeching to a halt behind them. Hawkeye steps out the car with her gun in hand with Hughes following closely behind. Havoc motions them over with his hand and they approach them cautiously.

"So exactly, how are we planning on getting inside without being noticed?" Havoc asked as they huddled by the car.

So far there were no sign of guards and the place was to quiet for anyone's liking. It appeared that this guy hadn't thought about hiring anyone to do his dirty work. Havoc leaned the back of his head against the car with a sigh.

"I don't like this," Ed whispered, "It seems way too easy and it's too quiet around here. What is this guy up to? What could he possibly gain from kidnapping Al and Reyna? And of all the places why here? Why didn't he-"

"This is no time to be asking yourself questions, Edward. There are lives at stake here," Hawkeye harshly whispered, "Now that I have your attention, there is a entrance at the front, one on the left side of the building, and one in the back of the building. There are also the air ducts, but we'll use those as a last resort."

Everyone nodded their heads in response. Havoc, unaware of what he was doing, banged his head against the car really hard, which resulted with the alarm going off. The noise startled everyone and Ed nearly jumped a foot in the air. They all turned and glared at Havoc.

"Oops, heh…heh? Sorry about that, guys," Havoc apologized.

Before he could say more however, a giant ball of fire slammed into the car behind them and it exploded upon impact. They saw the dragon flying overhead as it spotted them. They quickly split up and headed toward the nearest entrance. Ed and Havoc dashed toward the front entrance, while Hawkeye and Hughes sprinted into the left entrance. Armstrong stalled the dragon by chucking large boulders at it. Ed and Havoc slammed the doors open and ran inside the building without a second thought. They stopped when they saw Al coming out of a hallway with a confused look upon his face.

"Al!" Ed yelled with pure delight as he rushed toward his brother.

"Shhhhhhhhhh! Be quiet, brother," Al replied as he held his finger to his mouth to emphasize, "He might hear you."

"Who might hear you?" came a voice from the long hallway.

Al turned around with fright and saw Gerald staring at him with an evil glint in his eye.
