"You two girls tried to bring back Winry's dad, didn't you?" Old Man Dominic said, sighing loudly as he chewed on the end of his cigarette.
Winry bit her bottom lip, holding back a whimper.
Sciezska was kneeling on the floor.
"I see… that was the light of a human transmutation," a new voice said from door, and Russel and Dominic turned to see a tall woman there, dripping wet and dressed in a bright blue uniform.
"I've never seen such a powerful reaction before," she said, and held up a silver pocket watch. "Excuse me."
"A State Alchemist?" Sciez squeaked.
"I was here in response to this letter," the woman said, pulling out one of the many envelopes Sciezska remembered writing out of her heavy black trench coat. Winry's eyes were closed, but she could feel the woman's eyes on her face.
"I have two hurt girls. Leave," the old automail mechanic said, and Winry could very nearly hear Russel growling.
"I was originally looking for the girl's mother, Dante. However… if both of them can perform a human transmutation, and survive, Dante just dropped on my priority list."
"Winry's mother has been missing for years. You won't find her here. Now leave."
The woman was staring down impassively at the small blond girl on the bed.
"They both have the makings for great State Alchemists," she commented, and then turned to the door. "My name is Lt. Colonel Izumi Curtis. Come to see me in Central."
There was silence as the tall woman left the room.
