Riza was setting at her desk thinking about Bradley's involvement with the Homunculi.

'We need to figure this out and quick. On the other hand shouldn't the Elrics be back for their pay check?'

"Hmm? Better go ask Roy?" she mumbled as she got up from her desk.

She suddenly heard a gunshot. She ran in the direction of Maes' office, followed by Breda, Havoc, Fuery, Falman and Roy.

When they got there, Maes was lying in a puddle of blood, his blood.

Roy rushed to his side,

"Maes? Maes?" He asked frantically.

"It was her." He said trying to remain calm.

There was about five puncture marks in his right shoulder.

"I scared her off with my gun." Maes told them.

"Who is her, Sir?" Fuery asked.

"If you haven't heard of her, her name is Lust, and she's a Homunculi." He answered.

"Oh yeah you mean that not-so-alive chick with the sexy tattoo?" Havoc asked.

"Yeah," Roy stated, "But she'd have to gain entrance by someone who trusts her. A higher up I'd say. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He turned to Riza.

"Bradley?" they simultaneously said.

"Wait what are we missing?" Falman asked.

"We're going to do a little investigation work, but we need you to watch Hughes." Roy said to Falman.

"Havoc, Breda, Furry, you're coming with us." Roy said.

Everybody except for Falman and Hughes followed Roy to Bradley's office.

"Now if I understand right, Bradley isn't here today, so we can sneak into his office, and…" Roy began but he was cut short by Havoc's inquiry.

"What about that Douglas lady?"

"Havoc my boy, that's where you come in. Woo her, or buy her a cup of coffee, just socialize." Roy stated.

"But, Sir, that's against the code… oh wait I getcha I'm a diversion." Havoc stated.

At the code part, Riza was reminded of her and Roy's baby. A smile graced her features as she realized that for once she betrayed that of which she swore by…the military code, and now she was about to betray it again, by snooping in the Fuehrer's office.

"So what do we do?" Breda asked.

"You, Breda, will snoop with us while Kain will watch for anybody coming from the outside." Roy answered with a smirk; his plan was fail proof.

Havoc entered the room,

"Miss Douglas I noticed you were all alone, so could I interest you in joining me for a cup of coffee on this beautiful lunch hour?"

"I don't know you so why would I want to talk to you?"

"Stubborn bitch…" He muttered before continuing, "Because… On this beautiful lunch hour, we could become good friends, and I find you very attractive." Roy slapped his forehead and pulled his gloved hand down in a squeegee like motion.

"That's against the code." She stated bluntly.

"Well then how about just coffee, I swear I won't do anything but talk." He grinned mischievously.

"Fine." She said as she got up and walked out the door with Havoc.

"Now it's our turn." Roy whispered as he jumped through the office door.

Riza looked at Havoc as he went down the hallway; he felt her eyes' presence on him and turned his head around. He gave her a reassuring smile, so she went through the door.

By the time she got in there the drawers were already on the floor with papers falling from the air. Suddenly at her feet was a picture of the ever so suspicious Juliet Douglas, but she had a different name to the side of her picture along with a profile to the bottom of it. To the side it read Sloth.

She stopped and thought about it. Hawkeye began reading until she came upon the word HIMONCULI.

"Hey you guys better take a look at this." She motioned for them to come over.

"She's a…a…" Breda was speechless, "We gotta help Havoc." He said in a panic.

"No he can handle himself." Roy said.

Meanwhile at the train station…

Ed and the gang walked off the train at Eastern, but a large man with strange markings on his arm was waiting there.

"Finally another alchemist. I expected him to be a little bigger than this though. Oh well his head will fit better in my hand." He glumly stated.

"Who are you calling…" Ed retorted.

"What do want with us?" Al asked.

"You are state alchemists, true?"

"Yeah what's it to you?" Ed asked angrily.

"I'm on a mission to kill all of the state alchemists I find." He said in the same tone as before.

He reached for Ed's head, but Al quickly stood in front of Ed.

"Al what are you doing? You know I can take him." Ed said in his cocky manner.

"No, I'm tired of people always trying to kill you, and me being pushed away. I am going to stand up for you brother. I owe it to you."

The man grabbed Al's head and shocked it with his alchemy, but it just blew off.

He stood slightly shocked, but he said, "A bound soul, how tragic. A true sin against God." He stated.

Al put his head back on and still stood firmly in front of Ed and Winry.

"What's your name?" Ed asked standing protectively in front of Winry.

"Scar." He bluntly stated as he made his way off from the trio.

"Hey where are you going?" Ed asked furiously.

"I'm not one to back down, but I see you have a purpose in the military, and your brother has a good heart despite having no body, but don't think that I'll take pity on you next time." He walked off without another word.

"Well that was awkward." Ed said as he sweat dropped and put his hand behind his head.

"Let's go get your paycheck, Edward, so we can get to Rush Valley in time for that automail convention." Winry said excitedly.

Back at the office…

It seemed as though Bradley kept portfolios on all the Homunculi he was involved with.

Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, and Pride are all seven Homunculi.

"Each made by a failed attempt on human transmutation." Roy muttered.

"Let's get out of here and go check on Havoc. Just now this office gives me the creeps." Breda said.

"Don't be afraid you're with the Flame Alchemist." Roy grinned.

This time it was Riza's turn to slap her face.

They crept out of the office and went down to the break room where, to their horror, they saw Sloth (Ms. Douglas) pinned against the wall as Havoc kissed her lips fiercely. She was KISSING BACK.

Roy coughed loudly, and then every one else began coughing loudly.

They scurried to attention as Ms. Douglas fixed her tussled hair back in place and buttoned her blazer back up.

"Yes well…umm you see… I have to get back to my desk." She said as she hurriedly made her way out of the room.

Roy fell over laughing.

"What?" Havoc asked curiously.

"You just made out with one of the homunculi." He laughed.

"Well she seemed natural to me." He wiped his lips, "All the good women are either taken or evil."

Roy glanced over at Riza and thought, 'Not mine.'

All of the sudden Ed barged through the door yelling, "Honey I'm home! What no parade?"

"Wouldn't matter anyway if we had one because you couldn't see over the crowds." Roy laughed.

Riza gently elbowed him in the side, "Be nice." She said wile laughing.

"What's with them?" Ed whispered to Fuery.

"Umm…" he said, "I don't know."

"What are you two so chummy about?" Ed asked Mustang.

"What do we do?" Roy whispered to Riza.

They huddled and conversed the issue, "I trust him. Don't you?" she asked.

"Fine the secret's out. Riza's pregnant with my child." Roy stated as Maes limped in leaning on Falman as they entered the room.

Ed collapsed.

He woke up to a worried Winry fanning his face. Al of course still had hearts spewing from the background behind him.

"Ed you're awake!" she exclaimed as she bent over and kissed him.

"Oh, look at the shrimp. He's got a girl friend." Roy smirked.

"Why I ought to…"

"Come on Ed don't let him get to you." Fuery said.

"Thanks a lot four eyes." His sentence was ended as a wrench flew to his head.

"You're getting good at ruining moments." Winry said angrily.

Everyone started laughing at Ed including Fuery.

A/N: Phew this one's finally over thank God… I thought my fingers would never stop typing down the words. Sorry if this was ended rather abruptly, but I am going to take off from there next time as usual. I got the idea for this chapter out of the blue. My sis helped me some, but my brain sky rocketed form there. I hope you liked it.
