CHAPTER 14 – Concocting A Plan

Roy sat at his desk groaning surrounded by paperwork. All he wanted to do now was to go home and sleep… with a certain blonde first lieutenant. He stole a glance between his massive stacks of work that were slowly decreasing. Her blonde hair as always was clipped up and she was silently completing her work.

After Maes had skipped out of their office, Riza put Roy to work. She had noticed how much work there was to do. Too much if you ask me. Even I get tired of paperwork especially when I have something… or perhaps someone else on my mind. Riza thought as she sneaked a glance at Roy.

He was whining under his breath of how ridiculous this was happening. So much paperwork… another groan. She mentally shook her head. This was no time to nod off. Getting up from her chair she walked over to the door of their office. She stopped when she felt his eyes following her. She turned and saw his gaze had dropped.

"I'm going to go for some tea would you like any?" Riza asked politely.

"Can't I go with you?" Roy asked pleadingly.

"I'm sorry sir but you have a lot of paperwork to do so while I'm gone I expect you to be at least a little farther than when I leave you now." His expression changed drastically. She soon understood why. She had said the word 'leave'. In his mind it only meant one thing.

"No sir not that meaning. I am using the meaning of the word in which I will becoming back." She heard a sight of relief come from behind his many piles of work to be done.

"I didn't say anything…" Roy trailed off. Riza just looked at him with a knowing look. He hadn't needed to. Just the expression on his face said it all. He was sad, almost depressed. All because of the one word she said to him.

"Would you like me to get you anything, sir?" Riza asked him again. He shook his head no.

Riza stumbled slightly out the door where she was met by her co-workers. They only stared at her with their supposed innocence but she knew better. She knew they were up to something. Walking slowly passed each of their desks she eyed them all carefully. On the other side of the room she opened the door, walked through and shut it. Riza heard a very loud sigh of relief through the door in which made her smile lightly. She was right. They were planning something.

"You think she knew?" someone asked the rest.

"Nah, we know she's smart but come on we always act like we do." someone replied.

"I hope you're right…" the one before piped up nervously.

"As do we all my dear Fuery." An unexpected voice rang out.

"Lieutenant Colonel! What are you doing here?" the man named Fuery whispered loudly and nervously.

"Oh let's just say I've some by the talk to Roy for a minute…" he replied.

"I don't think that's a very good idea. You keep pestering him like that and he'll never spill the beans!" Another whispered urgently.

The lieutenant colonel sighed.

"I suppose you're right Havoc, I guess…" Havoc smile evilly.

"Although…" Havoc began, "You can't stop pestering him or else both Hawkeye and the Colonel'll get suspicious. So here's the plan…"
