It's me again..

It's dawn already and neither Riza nor Roy has slept. When they noticed what time it was, they decided to sleep even for a while.

Sleeping was like hell; they both had nightmares of what might happen if they were permanently taken away from each other. Bad dreams, terrible visions without the one they love.

Morning has broken and they feel the sun. They wake up. Roy's got nothing to do but stay in prison. He has no apparent choice. After a while, the guard gives him food. A mere rice and egg only. That wasn't even considered a meal since there were barely any rice and the egg was burnt. "What the heck is this? Crap?" he said totally scared, thinking of weird things of what the egg was made of.

"No.. it's your breakfast." He gives the food smirking at the traumatized man because of the breakfast and leaves him.

"Breakfast? I wonder what Riza's breakfast is. Whatever it is, it surely will be better than this!" he said snapping back to reality.

Riza's house

She wakes up to see no one and nothing beside her. She was alone in the house. No Hayate (which she wasn't still used to), no Roy. However she had nothing to do. She has to go to work, with or without them in the house.

She fixes herself up and eats her breakfast, eggs, rice and bacon. Just like Roy's but without the bacon, the correct amount of rice and a burned egg to be eaten by a person. She's silent and eats slowly. She can't help and think how Roy's doing right now.

In the Husgal

Roy finishes his so called food, or better call it, 'crap' since he was very hungry already. It did look like one especially the egg. "Man… that was horrible! I wonder when Riza'll visit me. Hey!" he calls the guard.

"Yeah?"

"If a girl visits me, wake me up okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!"

Riza's way to the military

Riza's silent. She's still not showing any emotions even though she's alone. You can see that she's thinking deeply. Thinking about how Roy is. Thinking how she can get him out of that wretched place.

From afar, the same person as before is watching her, the man/woman with bandages. Riza didn't see the person but he/she clearly saw her. He/she went near her and gripped her hand tightly.

"Who are.." Then he/she tried to suffocate her a bit, by putting a hand over her mouth. Riza didn't get to finish her sentence because she collapsed by the lack of air.

"Poor Riza.." the stalker said to the unconscious lieutenant.

He (since Riza noticed that his grip was strong, it must be a guy..) brought her to his hideout and tied her on a chair with a rope. He put on her mouth a white handkerchief and got all of her guns. "Poor Riza, Roy isn't able to protect her. She should have chosen me. If she did, she wouldn't experience this hardship with Roy. Too bad for Roy, they're separated. I'll see to it that Roy pays for everything." He said to himself.

In the Husgal

Roy's slept the whole day since there's nothing to do. Suddenly the phone rings and he wakes up. He heard a bit of the conversation and found out someone will be visiting him.

He tried to wait for the person to visit him, hoping that it was Riza. It's been hours already and no one has come yet, because of this, Roy got sleepy and couldn't control himself. His eyes started to drop and he started to yawn. In a matter of seconds, he's asleep.

After an hour or so, someone steps in the room. "Is Roy Mustang there?" the girl asked.

"Oh.. he's right here." The guard directs her. "Hey.. Mustang! Here's your visitor!"

Roy wakes up fast given that he's been waiting for ages to see Riza. He couldn't wait to see her shiny blonde hair and amber eyes. He wanted to hold her, to touch her. He longed to see the beauty of her, inside and outside. He missed her kiss and her hugs. He missed Riza Hawkeye so much. But he was surprised that it wasn't the blonde he was expecting. It was a brunette. It was Ms. Douglas. "Oh.. It's only you.." he said turning his back.

"Just me ei? Well.. I guess you're not interested in what Riza's state is now. After all, that's why I came here."

"What? Something happened to her?" he acted all worried.

"Someone called the military, looking for you. It's weird since you don't work there anymore. Anyway, he said that he's got Riza in hostage. The kidnapper wants to meet you infront of Fleue de Max on 5 pm tomorrow."

"What? So.. that means you're releasing me from here?"

"I told the Fuhrer about the phone call, and he took pity on you. He wanted Riza back in the military so he approved for you getting out of here." She said opening the door with a key.

Roy paused for a moment, thinking if he can trust the Fuhrer and Ms. Douglas. Then he said to himself "Okay.. Don't worry Riza.. I won't let you down."

Ms. Douglas leaves and Roy went home to Riza's house. He has one and a half day left before he has to meet Riza's kidnapper. He has to think of a plan in order to save Riza. He has to save her, whatever happens. So he decides to get help from his friends from the military.

At the Central Headquarters

"I've got news!" Ed screamed.

"What is Ed? Is it for us? Or Roy? You know he doesn't work here anymore." Breda said annoyed.

"I know Breda.. but it's for all of you and Roy and Riza!"

"Then what is it?" they asked in unison.

"Al.. should I tell them?" Ed asked his ever so tall brother.

"You barge in the room brother, and you ask me that? Brother? Sometimes you have to think before you act.. But I think we can depend on them, if they do promise." Al said.

"Okay then, but before that, guys? Can you call Armstrong, Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye?"

"Okay.." they agreed because Edward's news seemed very important.

They called Armstrong and they were almost complete, except for Roy and Riza.

"Where are the two lovebirds?" Ed asked.

"Well.. Riza didn't go to work. Our assumption is that she must be sad about Roy's incident." Falman explained.

"What incident?" Ed and Al asked.

"Roy's been taken to prison since the Fuhrer said he killed his nephew Noel."

"Oh, is that so? I can't believe this! Roy has to hear this.. O well.." Ed said irritated.

"Yeah.. but I heard they took him out of there just hours ago." Havoc explained.

"That's good. But anyway..uhm.. you can tell him later.. The thing is, we found out something about the Fuhrer and his so called secretary, Ms. Douglas!" Ed said.

"Well, what is it Edward?" they asked.

"Well..it's hard to believe but.. they're homunculi! Al saw the circle of the homunculus on the Fuhrer, and Winry said she saw Ms. Douglas turn into a water freak or something!"

"What!" they were surprised.

"Please, if ever you see Roy or Riza.. tell them." Al said.

"Okay Ed.. But..now that I think of it… It makes sense now.. Why the Fuhrer wants us to ignore Roy." Armstrong said.

"Yeah.. We've got to do something about it!" Fuery said.

Outside, there was a shadow. From the window, someone appeared, it was Roy. He jumped in.

"Roy!" they said totally alarmed.

"I heard everything.. so is it true?"

"Yes..definetely.." Ed said.

"So.. I have to plan harder.. the Fuhrer must have something to do about Riza's kidnapper. I just feel it. He must have something to do with the series of unfortunate events happening to me. No one can do this but him since he's the Fuhrer." Roy said. "Are you willing to help in my plan guys?"

"Of course!" they smiled.

A/N: Well? How was it? Confusing.. I'll clarify in the next chap if you have questions..
