Meetings and Re-meetings
Chapter 4
20 minutes after Maes placed his calls, Roy and Jean arrived at his house.
The two men met outside the door.
"Havoc? What're you doing here?" Mustang asked Jean.
"Hughes invited me over for dinner saying that I was to come to his house for dinner and to hurry," Havoc replied.
"He told me the same thing," Mustang told Havoc.
A female scream came from inside the house.
Both men ran to the door and began pounding on it and ringing the doorbell.
"Hughes! Open the door! What's going on!" Roy yelled.
Maes opened the front door and swiftly pulled Roy and Havoc into the house. He then quickly shut the door and locked it.
Roy and Jean took their black coats off and hung them on the stand. The two guys noticed that there were two coats already on the stand.
"Hey, Maes," Roy said "Why are there already two coats on the stand? Last time I checked, you were the only one in the military in this house."
"I'm still the only one," Maes replied.
"So why are there two coats, Maes?" Roy asked again.
"Because Cassie's here," Maes replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"'Cassie'?" Jean repeated.
"Yeah, Cassie," Maes said turning to Roy "Y'know, red hair, green eyes, she was in my office, blew up my bin…"
"Ah, yes, now I remember," Roy said, grimacing and sounding a bit miffed.
Jean Havoc had no clue what they were talking about and was left standing there completely confused and lost in his own thoughts.
The three men, two in uniform and one not, turned to face the direction of the kitchen as they could hear footsteps coming form that direction.
A few seconds later, Cassie, still in uniform, stepped around the corner.
"Food's ready!" she called. She scanned over the three men. "Hello, Roy. Jean," she greeted the two newcomers.
Cassie turned and started to walk down the hall back to the kitchen.
The three guys stood there, stunned.
"It's her," Jean mumbled with a slight smile.
"Are you coming?" Cassie called from out of sight.
"Yeah, yeah, we're coming," Maes called back.
"Well then hurry up. Jean, get rid of that cigarette, that's a filthy habit. Roy, stop scowling. And both of you, stop giving me that look!" Cassie yelled.
"How'd ya know!" Jean and Roy yelled back, while Maes was busy trying to suppress his laughter.
R&R please!
