Episode 3

New Friend or Enemy

But it was to late by the time he got over there Katherine was already on the other side transmuting the bridge back into the building.

" try and get me now shrimp!" Katherine taunted from the other side

" who you callen! a shrimp I got 2 inches on you!"

" yah right! come and prove it then!"

" grrr" and Ed clapped his hands together and also slammed his hands on the roof and a same yet different transmutation light appeared and a slightly bigger and better bridge appeared. Katherine with a stunned look on her face said " how…..how did you do that without a circle?'

"ha got you now" said Ed running across his bridge.

"Ahh" yelled Katherine and she turned tail and ran as fast as she could holding on tight to her bag. She ran to the edge of the building she was on and jumped down to the alley below. Moments later Ed was there looking down either way, but he couldn't see her any were. Climbing down, he walked out to the sidewalk. The other way leading down to a series of alleys.

" brother wait." Came a voice from down the street.

"hum Al?" said Ed looking down the street "what took you so long?"

"did you get a hold of that girl?"

" no I lost her in the alley, but I think we can catch her if we go down that way." Said Ed pointing back the way he had came.

"but Ed what about your meeting with the Colonel ?"

"ah damn it. I forgot about that blowhard, I guess we better go there first." Ed and Al stated walking down the street away from the alley. All though back in the alley, Katherine came out of her hiding spot from the back side of building.

"few ;" said Katherine letting out the breath out she was holding. " hum…that seemed to easy, he must be up to something. And how'd he do Alchemy with out a circle, what do you think Mushi?" said Katherine prodding her bag "Mushi? Mushi where'd you go?" she said looking in her bag. Mushi was no were to be seen. " Mushi" she whispered walking down deeper into the alley, looking behind a garbage can.

" ha ha look what we got here boys, an Ishvarlen rat" said a voice from behind. Standing up quickly and turning around, in front of her were three men dressed in the States military uniform, but unlike the States uniform theirs didn't have any metals or stripes. They were Mercenaries. Moving with great speed the one who spoke grabbed Katherine by the wrist holding her tight.

" wonder how much your pretty little head will fetch from the Fuhrer. But I don't know maybe we should keep this one for ourselves, eh boys?" the others laughed from behind him.

" no let me go!" Katherine yelled trying to escape his grasp eyes filled with fear

" ooo you're a feisty one" he said tightening his grip

" let me go!" she said and bit down hard on his hand holding hers.

" AHH! You little bitch!" he yelled in pain letting go of her. Taking this opportunity she ran away from the men.

" what are you waiting for get her!" shouted the man to the others and they took off after her.

" Damn! This just has to be the best day of my life." She said sarcastically to herself. Suddenly, Katherine not looking were she was going, ran head long into something very hard. Falling down hard on her butt she shook her throbbing head and looked at what she had run into. Looming above her was the largest man she had ever seen height wise and horizontally ( he's kind of pudgy, picture Izumi's husband but it's not him) Stunned and terrified Katherine looked behind her, the other men had already caught up and were standing behind her. Suddenly the large man in front of her picked her up holding her so tight that she barely move or breath.

" put me down!" she gasped out kicking her legs frantically

" no such luck girlie your ganna pay for that little stunt back there." Said the man who had talked before. "we'll hand you over to the Fuhrer all right, little girl, but not before we teach you a lesson." He said grabbing her chin to make sure she was looking at him.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

In front of Edward and Alphonse is Central's chief center of command of the government. The building towered above them full of offices and one among them is the office of Colonel Roy Mustang .

" Brother you better get going you're already late as it is."

" I know Al, I just can't stand him and he wont be happy about what happened in Kinzer. Sigh well might as well get the verbal abuse over with. Come on Al" and the two brothers walked up and into the giant building.

Edward and Alphonse tried to walk quietly through the large office room not to catch the notice of the other subordinates of Mustang.

"Good Morning Edward, the Colonel is waiting for you. You'd best hurry." Said First Latinate Risa Hawkeye not even looking up from her work.

" ah yes ma'am. I m on my way now" said Edward giving a small solute " Al you're to noisy"

" good luck Brother" said Al rubbing his metallic head.

"yah" and he left the room in a hurry, he didn't want the Colonel to be any madder than he was sure to be. He also had to think of what he was going to say in his report about the town of Kinzer. He was sent there to apprehend an Alchemist said to be making gold for a profit, but a few problems occurred, broken bones, smashed faces, buildings demolished, and one felon alchemist at the bottom of a cliff.

" get your hands off of me!" Katherine yelled and with all her might kicked at the man holding her chin. He avoided her kick and wasn't looking to happy suddenly he strikes out and hit her hard on the face. Katherine's face burned and her lip was bleeding, but no matter how much it hurt she wouldn't let herself cry.

" that was stupid, now what did you think that would accomplish. I m ganna make you a deal, since rats travel in packs you must know were the other rogue Ishvarlens are. If you tell me were they're hiding I'll make sure you end up in a nice little slave house up in Drachma, or you can be dog food. Your choice"

" don't I feel special. I wouldn't tell scum like you anything even if I did know!"

" wrong answer." And he hit her hard in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. She fought to stay conscious but couldn't and went limp in the big mans arms.

"now what do we do with her?" asked the large Man

" take her back to the hideout. I'll go have a chat with our employer. See how much her pretty little head is worth."

" what do we do with her when we get there?" asked one of the other men behind him.

"tie her up and keep her out of the way. No one touches her till I get back, Got it!"

" yes sir" they all replied in a disappointed voice. He went off in a different direction and was soon out of sight.

The large Man said " we'd best be going--. POW" the man was stunned to realize he was face flat on the cold brick ground. Katherine had been faking being knocked out and had taken hold of one of his arms and flipped him onto the ground. The other men stood in awe as Katherine stood there.

" if you tell me what I want to know none of you will get hurt." she said sternly.
