Time for another lovely update by yours truely! I know that the end of the last chapter has you thinking, "Who's that demented creathure!" But you shall soon find out. As well as see how things turn out for Ed, Al, and Hughes as well. I lead you to the fic!

"Get that away from me!" Outside the closed infirmary door, you could hear screaming from a very estatic and armed man. The door flung open, and out came Maes Hughes, running from a shot. He was armed alright, but in this situation, his photographs of his energetic daughter and happy wife would do him not good in this position. He flew past Roy's office like a speeding bullet. Roy looked up and so did Riza, blinking as to what could possibly run that fast. They heard doctors screaming for Hughes to come back and realized what it was and continued their usual, everyday tasks.

Hughes had left his military jacket inside, but ran outside and away from Central. He hid in an alley to avoid the shot, probably a huge mistake. He walked down the alley, curiosity striking him as to what could be down that way. "Curiosit killed the cat," Hughes scoffed, "Good thing I'm not a cat then I suppose." He wandered along the alleys, not noting the dark figure on the roof tops above him.

He stopped for a bit, leaning against a wall and closing his eyes. He heard a rustle and looked up, drawing out a knife. He relaxed when he realized who it was. "Gracia," He spoke softly, "You shouldn't be around here. You should be at home watching Elysia." He put the knife away in its usual spot and walked towards Gracia.

"Sorry, I was about to go out shopping, and I saw you running into the alleys. You'll catch a cold without your jacket, you should know better."

Hughes thought something was off, but couldn't put his finger on it. "I'm fine. Sorry I didn't come home last night, a lot happened."

"That's fine dear, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters to me."She walked up to him and put her hand on his cheek.

That's when Hughes realized it, realized what was different. He went to react, but the next thing he saw was black.

Ed and Al sat in a hotel room, when there was a knock on the door.

"I've got it Ed!"Al jumped off the couch and opened the door, and a bit of talking was heard, and Al came back with a letter in his hand. "Don't know who it's from, but it says it's important, so." Al took his gloves off and opened the letter reading it, as his eyes went wider each word, Ed started to ask what was wrong. He handed the note to Ed.

To the Fullmetal Brat and his brother,

I'm not sure you remember me well, but I'm sure you remember Maes Hughes. And if you honestly value his life, you WILL come to labratory 5 tonight at 10 PM, with no one following. No one is to know what is going on, and you absolutly must come alone, or we will kill him. If you don't show up and or don't do what we ask, we will kill him. I'll see you two then.

Sinner

Ed almost dropped the letter. Hughes was in trouble, and who know why and by whom. "We have to go Al! Its already 9! Let's go!" Ed and Al ran out of the door and made their way towards Lab 5.
