Chapter 7

A few weeks later Dani had made major progress on her alchemy. She and Edward were spending a little alone time together. Edward pushed Dani's dark brown hair out of her face and looked into her green eyes.

"Dani, I love you so much." Edward said to her and kissed her.

"You're so perfect, even with the auto mail leg, you're beautiful."

"Thank you Edward. And you, too, are truly perfect." Dani said, smiling at him. Edward smiled again before taking her lips into another kiss.

Dani had managed to avoid arrest. After all, she did kill a man to make the Philosopher's Stone, which she destroyed out of guilt after it was all said and done. She was happy now, truly happy. She had Edward. They were together. Winry and Al were doing great. Even Aunt Pinako seemed to have spunked up a bit. Her life was going really great. Of course she had that guilt with killing that man. But it was for Edward and she needed to do it, for the prophecy.

Dani was sitting in her dorm one day working on the Uprising case. They couldn't just go in and kill them all. It brought up too much of a stir when that happened with the War with Ishbal. After all, Dani was still in the military, and she had to keep the public interest as well as the military interest.

In the past few months, Dani's rank had increased from Major to Lieutenant. Of course besides researching prophecies and making a Philosopher's Stone, she did other stuff too. Of course she went on missions and things. She had been in the military for so long, it was her recognition.

Roy knocked on the door and after Dani yelled for him to come in, he opened the door.

"Lieutenant Mitchells, I have new news on the case that I need to discuss with you. Please follow me to my office." Roy asked.

"Sure thing, Mustang." Dani said, getting up. "Say, why did you come and get me? You could of just got Edward to get me or something."

"I was on my way in." Roy said. They walked into the room. Roy sat down behind his desk and Dani took the red couch in the near the desk.

"So, what's new?" Dani asked.

"It seems that the Homunculi haven't taken the side of the Uprising. Of course after Edward's 'death' they stopped, because it was Edward they wanted to complete their agenda." Roy said.

"Well, that's good, at least we don't have to deal with any Homunculi, not like it'd be a good thing, damn pests." Dani said.

"But there is one more thing." Roy said.

"What's that?" Dani said.

"It seems that there have been more deaths. I need you and Edward to go check them out." Roy said.

"Damn, how many does that make?" Dani asked.

"Twenty-three." Roy said. He sighed. Dani just shook her head in disgust.

"I'm gonna stop this, and now." Dani said.

"Do you have anything new on the case?" Roy asked.

"Nothing really. I think that they're HQ is somewhere near that abandon warehouse where Edward was brought back." Dani said.

"Really? So they know of the prophecy too? Or just coincidence." Roy asked.

"I don't think it's coincidence. I'm going to go investigate it after I investigate the murders." Dani said, standing up. Before Dani went out the door she was stopped by Roy.

"Dani, please be careful." Roy said.

"I promise." Dani said.

Dani quickly went and got Edward. He had become her partner in the military after he was brought back. Dani was driving. They came upon the murder scene and got out. Several policemen were there, also. The policemen were dismissed when Dani and Edward approached the bodies.

"Death by electrocution, but from what?" Dani said, kneeling down to the body.

"Electrocution? How can you tell?"Edward asked.

"The burn marks, of course. And the melted flesh here and here." she said, pointing to the two places where the skin had been melted from the muscle and bone.

"Whoever did this is some sick freak." she said.Edward agreed.

"So any conclusions?"Edward asked.

"Well, the killer is definately using electricity to kill his victims. Which is nothing new coming from the Uprising." Dani said.

"So this is surely an Uprising case?" Edward asked. He wanted to make sure that all the things were correct, so they could get some sort of evidence off of the body or around it. They needed to take down the Uprising. And quick.

"Yes, I am absolutely positive. Now, that we've identified this and such, I can get the police to clean up here while I, and if you want to also, go and investigate some new news on the Uprising case." Dani said.Edward looked at her and raised his eyebrow.

"What did you find out?"Edward asked. He and Dani made their way back towards the car.

"I think I know where the Uprising HQ is." Dani said. Havoc looked at her.

"Really? Where?" Havoc asked.

"Same place where they found me bleeding to death." Dani said, casually. They drove off towards the old abandoned warehouse on 15th Street.

"Wait, I know where we are. So you're saying they moved their HQ here after you brought me back?" Edward said looking at Dani.

"I don't know, Edward. But I want to investigate." Dani said, getting out of the car, they heaviness of her leg clanking on the gravel. Edward got out also and walked with her to the door. Dani carefully entered the building. She felt around for a light switch, and found one. Right when she turned it on she was knocked out cold by a metal object crashing into her skull.

A/N: Hey ya'll, sry to leave of with a bit of a cliffie. I'm also looking for someone to adopt the fic. There is no way that I can complete this with the things coming up, so much stuff! So, I'm looking for someone who is dedicated, and must have past experience with fanfics. My email is posted on my home page if you are interested, we'll go from there.
