A/N Hello! I'm finally back from vacation, wow that was fun! Imagine how surprised I was to not have handfuls of bricks thrown through my windows after the last chapter. Thanks for the reviews and encouragement! Also, me and one of my good friends 'Witch of Darkness' have just posted a Naruto one shot on her account, 'The Means to an End' so if anyone likes that series, I highly recommend it. It's all about Sasuke and some other stuff, it's quite funny. Well, I guess I should start typing. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. So sad…
Riza closed the door behind her as she went into the kitchen. She looked about, noting on the extreme cleanliness. Finding an old kettle, Riza filled it with water and placed it on the stove. She looked about, and found several types of tea stored in a small cupboard. Finally deciding on some oolong tea, Riza filled the bottom of a teapot with it and continued to wait for the water to boil.
God, in the middle of a crisis, Roy's mind was stuck in the gutter. They needed to think through what to do now, there would be time for that later. Riza stuck her head out of the door, feeling that she was no longer blushing or as nervous as before. Just as she looked out, the telephone rang, which Roy immediately picked up.
"Roy Mustang," he said, pausing to listen to the voice on the other end, "What! I understand, I'll be there right away."
"What is it?" Riza asked.
"It's another murder from that serial killer we've been tracking, I've got to go," Roy said, getting up, "Rain check that tea for me will you?"
Riza nodded, as Roy pulled on his coat and left, closing the door securely behind him. Riza walked into his kitchen, suddenly feeling an odd emptiness consuming her. She supposed she should go back to where she lived, there was no point being here without Roy. Walking outside, she began the trek towards HQ. The weekend would end tomorrow, and it would be back to work.
It took about half of an hour to get there, and Riza had barely walked in the door to her dorm when Black Hayate jumped up on her, ecstatic that she was back. "Hey Black Hayate, sorry I didn't come back last night," Riza said, smiling as she filled his bowl with food.
"Hmm, I wonder if they'll find the killer? Hope Roy's okay," Riza said, sitting down on her bed and watching Black Hayate eating feverishly. Outside, it had begun to rain, the droplets of water pounding heavily against the windows, wind howling past.
Riza lie down, keen to catch up on sleep which she had been severely lacking as of late. Drifting into a fitful sleep, Riza didn't wake until a few hours later.
Sitting up screaming, Riza grabbed the handgun left on the desk next to her bed. Realizing that she had been asleep and all that had come before was a dream, Riza lowered her pistol, cold sweat trickling down her neck. She replaced her gun on the desk, laying back down, her eyes still wide with fear. Breathing heavily, she glanced at a clock on the wall. It was a bit after midnight, she still had several hours to sleep.
These bad dreams were really starting to eat away at her, if it wasn't one thing it was another.
A/N Sorry it's so short, I'm sleepy. I'll update soon to make up for it okay? Well, goodnight! Also, I love taffy. yawn
