CHAPTER 18 – Their Plan Foiled?

In Riza Hawkeye's point of view work that Thursday was what she would call eventful. As usual the Colonel was dilly-dallying, doodling, and staring into space. In other words, he wasn't doing his paperwork.

It was at 0900 that both Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye and Colonel Roy Mustang made their appearances that overcast day. Strutted into the office with a grin plastered to his boyish face his subordinates merely glimpsed up from their own work to mutter a very heart felt "Good morning Colonel!"

The first Lieutenant walked behind him, her normal few steps behind him and Black Hayate trailing in after her. They almost resembled a 'choo choo train' set as they trooped into the unit area.

---

I'm going to die of boredom! Roy thought while tapping his ballpoint pen on the wooden desk in front of him. The sound that the writing instrument made resounded through the enclosed room that was his and Riza's office.

Riza.

He shifted his gaze over to wear her desk was. His eyes fell upon the angelic figure of his first lieutenant, his Riza. Her hair since the shower was now bright blonde in its usual style of pulled back into the hair clip. Her eyes were down casted, staring at a booklet of information she was using to write a report. Her eyebrows were slightly scrunched together in thought as her pen flew across the paper. She simply looked radiant.

While Roy was off in his little daydream about Riza, something bigger was going on in the other room.

"They found out! I told you they'd find it sooner or later! You didn't hide that cord very well Breada!" one of the men said.

"Hey don't blame Breada! It was your job to set up the camera Havoc!" another whispered loudly.

"So what if it was my job? It was his job to make sure everything of our doing was out of sight!" Havoc retorted.

"Hush, all of you! It doesn't matter whose fault it was that blew our cover! As long as Roy and Riza don't find out were fine. Now, did you get the tape Hughes?" there was a pause.

"Uh about that… it seems after they found the camera they… uh… took the tape…"

"Oh great! Fantastic!" Someone cried out.

"Don't worry, don't worry. We've got the tapes from the previous two days. We've got evidence they like each other. Now all we have to do is follow the plan. Them finding out about the camera only causes a 'slight bump in the road'. Nothing big. Plus I just can't believe they got together!" Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes burst into happiness, little hearts falling around him like fireworks.

Havoc, Breada and Falman only shook their heads. When Hughes goes overboard with happiness everyone one of Roy Mustang's subordinates know not to disturb him. The consequence? Your mind. The Lieutenant is notorious for stashing pictures of his darling daughter on his person. He will shove every picture into your face while asking over and over again how precious she is. Don't get everyone wrong. They all think she's a cutie pie, blah blah blah, it's just you will zone out after a while and you might have a headache for quite sometime.

Everyone surrounding the desk of Kain Fuery slunk backwards a ways away. Maes only looked around at them with a questioning look. Then, as everyone dreaded this, his hand crept into his uniform jacket pocket. Quick as a flash, Maes yanked out the perfect photos and shouted,

"LOOK AT MY DAUGHTER! Isn't she precious! Don't you wish she was yours!"

Havoc, Breada, Fuery and Falman just nodded in agreement. Hughes' smile grew even wider if possible.

Then came a voice from the office of Roy Mustang.

"Maes be quiet! I bet people from the building on the other side of the base can here you rant about your daughter!"

The voice was non other than Roy Mustang himself.
