Chapter 2
Edward sighed while watching the buildings go by as the car he was in passed them. He was wondering what Mustang wanted with him. Was it just to call him short? Or maybe a mission for the state.
The car stopped right in front of East Headquarters and Armstrong still kept his eyes on the road ahead. Edward opened the door and got out of the car. When he did, Armstrong started the car again and drove off. Edward watched it go off in confusion but decided it wasn't his problem.
Ed walked up to the guards and he flashed his silver state alchemist pocket watch. "Good morning, Mr.Elric." One of the guards greeted him as the guard opened the gate. Edward walked through the gate and towards the large door of Central then gulped quickly and went inside.
Edward walked down the familiar halls of Headquarters. He finally reached an oak door which he had always known as Colonel Mustang's office. He raised his arm to the door and knocked a few light taps on the door.
"Come in." A very familiar voice said beyond the oak door. Edward opened the door and walked in and walked in front of the desk. "You wanted me sir?" He said curiously.
"Yes. The furher directly has given a mission to you. I'm just here to tell you about it." Mustang smirked because of his own thoughts were about Edward. He opened a desk drawer and pulled out a large brown envelope and opened it for Edward.
"The Fullmetal Alchemist, you are ordered by Furher King Bradly to hunt down a suspected bomber that should be responsible for the death of many in Central including military personal. Hurry with no haste to complete this mission. Along with you, you shall be accompanied by a handful of soldiers to help you. If this order can not be carried out by The Fullmetal Alchemist, then he shall find someone else of more responsible rank and only the willing may take this task." Mustang read aloud.
"It brings me to say this; you are not going to get yourself in this kind of danger. You will let the adults take care of this, no questions asked." He said firmly.
"But who exactly does this bomber target?" Edward asked Mustang, trying to get as much information from him as he possibly could.
"Mostly the defenseless, but it makes him a full-fledged coward so he shouldn't be too hard to take down." Mustang said, not putting up a fight with Ed.
"Then let me lead it if it isn't as bad as it sounds." Ed protested since he couldn't stand people who cowardly massacre innocent lives.
"I can not allow that. It would put you in danger, and you might be sacrificing your life." Mustang replied firmly behind his decision.
Ed growled and muttered in near defeat. "Since when are you so protective of me over something so little?" He questioned a bit louder than he should of, as the room fell silent after that and Hawkeye soon entered the room. "You may leave, Fullmetal." Roy said staring his wooden desk with a neutral look upon his face.
Edward then bowed his head in respect and in his own way of saying he was sorry, he left Mustang's office, feeling guilty for snapping at him. He did have his own right to make sure he was alright.
He then left Central and got driven home by a soldier who had followed him out. The car soon got to the dorms and opened the door to hear a strange scratching noise at the walls and a long cry of "NOOO!"s.
