Disclaimer: I love them all, minus evil dudes, but they don't belong to me and neither does the story.
The two brothers continued to roam around town as they mulled over what the police officer had told them.
"So brother, don't you think we should get out of here as soon as possible?"
"I guess your right Al, but something is still bothering me."
"What would that be brother?"
"What about this 'leader' person could scare the state enough to leave this town alone? I mean it's not like a few alchemists couldn't come in here and wipe out everyone in a matter of minutes." The thought caused Ed to visibly quiver.
"Well that does seem true, but maybe this person has some dirt on the government that they don't want leaked out so in return the state leaves the village alone."
"Well I'm not sure, but we can always ask Colonel With-A-God-Complex about this town as soon as we get back to Central."
So with that the two brothers followed the directions of the police officer and headed to Central.
"So if it isn't the two Elric brothers in my office once again."
"Yea, yea, yea. WE wouldn't be here Colonel if we didn't have to be."
"I'm hurt Edward"
"Put a cork in it Colonel, I've handed in my report and now I have a question for you."
"Could it be 'why in the world am I 16 and still so short', would it?"
Ed turned highly red at this statement and cried out "who are you calling 16 and the size of a bean that you can't even see with a magnifying glass?"
"No one said that brother now calm down, please"
"Fine Ed, what did you want to ask me?"
"What's the deal with the town a little ways east of here?"
At the question the Colonel's eyes showed shock, but quickly narrowed.
"That topic is highly confidential Full Metal and I tell you now that it is never to be spoken of again."
"What the hell? Why is the military even afraid to mention that place and what did that police man mean when he said that their leader 'never again' wanted anybody from the state in their town?" Ed had become out of breath by the end of his sentence from nearly shouting it at the Colonel.
"It is none of your business Edward what the military chooses to keep secret and what it chooses to share with you. As for this particular matter it is a personal issue that I have asked the military to keep quiet about and if I ever catch wind of you asking other people I will personally see to it that you are demoted. Now GET OUT"
The Full Metal Alchemist could only stand and stare as his brother grabbed his arms and dragged him from the office. There was a secret that the Colonel was keeping and he smirked as he decided to find out exactly what it was.
A/N: So how was the second chapter? I know it's not very long but I think there's something wrong with me that I can't type for very long at the computer. Hmm…maybe I have CTAD (computer typing attention disorder)
This is a general thank-you to all of those of you who reviewed. Thank you very much
