# 39 Sly Person
"Where are you going Hawkeye?" Roy watched his first lieutenant swiftly stand from her desk, hanging up the phone, and reaching for her spare firearm.
"I just received a message from Edward, sir. He's on the tail of another guest." Riza checked to see that her firearms were fully loaded, and proceeded to hide one in the confines of her blue military jacket.
"Oh is that so," Mustang smirked, folding his hands and interlocking his gloved fingers under his chin, "so what is your part in this?"
"I'll be keeping my eye on the party, Colonel. Sergeant Major Fury was requested to come along." She headed towards the door, which hid her slim, black sniper rifle.
Roy kept a strong gaze on the moving figure, as she removed the gun from its hiding place. "How about I accompany you? As the saying goes, Lieutenant, the more the merrier." He was standing at his desk, and started to switch his plain gloves for his spark gloves.
"Sorry sir," Riza turned around to look at his disbelieving face, "you can't come this time."
"What are you talking about Hawkeye? I'm going with you as your superior officer." Roy tried to keep from shouting, so he wouldn't draw attention to the situation that was occurring.
"You need to stay here and complete your paperwork Colonel; also, you should expect a call from your girlfriend soon." Riza turned to exit the office, when Mustang stopped her again.
"At least tell me who it is." Riza sighed.
"It's the shape shifter." She tensed, waiting for some form of rebuttal to her actions; instead, the sounds of Roy sitting back in his chair echoed through the room.
"Be careful; don't be fooled by anything Lieutenant." His deep, steady voice drifted to Riza. She glanced back behind her, to see the Colonel already fast at work on a stack of papers; his mask was breaking.
"Iā¦understand," she gave a quick smile; "I'll be back later sir." Riza walked out the door to retrieve the Sergeant Major.
After a period of time passed by, Roy looked up to the empty doorway, staring blankly, engrossed in thought: 'And I thought I was a sly person.'
