At last the two caught the other at the elbow.
They felt a hand slide down thier arm until it came in contact with thier wrists.
"Here" Riza said. Mustang felt her shove some cloth into his hand.
"Thank you Lieutenant" he replied slipping back on the gloves.
Riza sat waiting paitently for a little light.
A few moments later she heard a 'Snap',saw a flash of light, and
"Excelent aim sir".
She gave him a compliment.
He had lit the wick of a candle, five feet away.
Her colonel simply shrugged, thinking nothing of it.
The light of the candle was just enough to see sketchy shadows, so paperwork was out of the question. Hearing a tiney wimper Riza looked at her feet.
A black bulcky shadow was peering up at her.
"Oh" she sighed with a little smile,"I was wondering where you were."
She gently lifted Black into her lap.
"It's alright" she whispered to him as he shook.
A loud 'BAM!' made first lieutenant Hawkeye give a slight jolt.
Colonel Mustang simply raised his head,and Black appeared to be wroght with fear.
Stroking Black's fur trying to calm him Riza began to speak.
"Sir, isn't it a little odd" she shifted her glance to him,"Fullmetal has not arrived, our egmergency generator has yet to come on, and that noice,and..." Her voice trailed off, and she was now staring at the wall where the noice had come from.
Mustang leaned casualy against the table next to Riza,"And what Hawkeye?". He put on a dissapointed frown,"You arn't scared of things that go bump in the dark are you?".
As soon as her colonel suggested this idea Riza began to try to explain the reasoning behind her actions.
Roy held his hand up to silence her,"This is all pure chance, nothing more."
His eyes pirced into Riza's, testing her faith in his leadership.
Riza pulled her eyes away, he won he always did.
It was to dark for Riza to see but Roy gave a triumphent smirk,'I always win' he thought.
Neither spoke for several minutes, to be quite honest they were listing for unrest.
Without warning the still trembling Black gave a loud, erie howl.
"Shush" Riza sternly told the dog. Black cut off very quickly, and seemed to shrink in her lap.
"They will find us" she whispered.
Though Mustang hadn't the best hearing, he could still hear the quiet whisper that had escaped her.
'Find us?' he thought,'Does she know somthing I don't?'
With a worried glance he looked at Riza,"Lieutenant?" his voice was unsure.
Riza wished she had heard him speak. She wished he could her him scream in fury at her...rather than be 'here'. As the shadows of Roy's office fadded, she was left in total darkness.
-Is being sarcastic- Hum what's wrong with Hawkeye? Maybe i'll tell you later...if I feel like it...-Winks- I will reveal all later on in the series,honestly!
