Chapter 3
"I think you can handle this lunatic, Fullmetal."
"What? Why me?"
"Alright then. First Lieutenant Hawkeye."
"Yes?"
"Take him down because apparently Fullmetal is too scared to—
"I'm not scared! I just don't want to do your dirty laundry!"
"There's no need to help me." Roy and the others appeared to notice the woman behind the man with the gun for the first time, "I've been caught by this bastard enough, and he hasn't killed me yet."
"The woman then held both of her hands forward, palms facing toward the man with the gun. As she did so, a strong jet of water burst out of the air, aimed at the man with the pistol. The man, however, dodged to his right, and landing astride his black motorcycle. Before taking off, the man fired two bullets at the woman: she dodged the first, but the second hit her in the right thigh.
The soldiers surrounding them began to fire as the motorcycle started forward toward the Colonel, Riza, Havoc, Edward, and Al.
"Take good care of my prey." The man shouted at the group in front of him as they jumped out the way of the incoming motorcycle.
As the motorcycle sped past where she landed, Riza pulled out her own pistols and as she began firing said, "You're not getting away that easily!" The shots, however, missed every time. The man on the motorcycle appeared to know where each one was aimed. Before they could do anything else, the man and his black motorcycle were gone around the far corner.
As he stood up, Ed complained, "Man, who was that guy. Who does he think he is?"
"I don't know. I've never seen his face in the military archive of criminals." Havoc responded as he did the same.
"Hey! You! Where do you think you're going?" A soldier shouted, bringing the five of them back to noticing that the woman who had spoken earlier had hobbled toward the white motorcycle on the ground. They watched as the soldiers jumped forward to restrain her before she could start up the vehicle and get away. They had to struggle to keep her held tightly, even though she was injured.
As Roy approached the struggling group, he noticed that she wasn't just shot on her right leg, her arm appeared to be broken and her clothes were wind-whipped and torn from an apparent motorcycle chase. "Why are you here?" he demanded of the black haired woman as he glared down at her.
"None of your business!" she replied defiantly.
"How do you know how to use alchemy?"
The woman remained silent as she glared back at Roy. But then she suddenly yelled at him, "Why did you leave us to be killed by him!"
Roy did not in any way appear to be affected by her demand. Instead, he said, "If you won't talk, we have ways to make you talk."
"Do your worst, military scum! In fact you're worse than scum! You're lower than Achmeid!" she continued to scream at Roy as she was forcefully led away. She seemed to be putting up a considerable fight, even though she was injured.
"Take her motorcycle into custody as well."
As they proceeded to chain the woman up, with some trouble, Havoc asked, "What was that all about, Colonel? What did she mean by, 'why did you leave us'?"
Roy just continued to frown as he walked away from the scene in front of him.
"What's with him?" Ed asked Havoc.
"I don't know. He isn't usually like this. Normally, he would have already tried to hit on that girl." Havoc responded as he produced a cigarette and proceeded to light it with his lighter.
As he walked away, Colonel Roy Mustang had many thoughts running through his head at the time. 'Rei… what are you doing here?' This being one of them.
Some shouting from behind him made him spin around. What he saw was that the injured woman had broken free of the soldiers' hold on her and was running toward him with a grimace on her face as she clutched her right arm, which was the arm that appeared to be broken. As she managed to evade the grasp of the soldiers, Havoc, and Hawkeye, Roy just stood where he was, waiting for her approach. By the time she reached him, she appeared unusually out of breath because of her injuries.
"I can't believe you would desert us, and then come to join the heartless military! I hate you…" she gasped as she fell down to the street, apparently unconscious.
Hawkeye ran forward and knelt beside the injured woman. "She's unconscious. She needs medical attention."
Roy turned away from the scene once again, "We'll give it to her once we get back to Headquarters." He began walking in the direction of Headquarters once again.
Author's note: Thanks for the reviews. I know that I should be updating some of my older stories, but… I just couldn't stay away from this one! I got over my prolonged writer's block on it, finally. Anyways, I just wanted to thank: Thatz of the Dragon knights, Ankh Alchemist, AND Tsume-n-carnate for their lovely reviews. And, yes, Tsume-n-carnate, you will get more updates in the future!
