Chapter 3
Hawkeye stayed for one second totally stunned, looking to the two silhouettes walking towards her.
Envy stopped, an enigmatic smile upon his lips.
- Lieutenant Hawkeye... he said, trying to sound as natural as possible, nice to see you.
Hawkeye stared at Envy, wordless.
The homunculus frowned a little. Could it be possible that Hawkeye didn't believe him to be Roy Mustang ? But before he could say anything, he found himself lying on the ground and Hawkeye watching him, obviously furious.
- Where were you gone ! You have no idea of how I could have been worrying during all this time ! I thought you were dead !
Envy needed all his self-control to don't hit back this woman who was yelling at him as if he was a stupid 3 years-old child.
- So lieutenant ? How are you ? grinned the homunculus.
Hawkeye gave him a furious look and reported her attention on Pride who has observed all the scene without any emotion, as usual.
- Edward ? asked gently Hawkeye, How are you and where is Alphonse.
Pride raised eyebrows, but fortunately managed to remember what Envy had told him to answer to this question.
- I'm fine… Al is dead.
And he gave to Hawkeye an empty smile.
- Oh, Edward, I'm sorry… began Hawkeye.
Envy got up and put a hand on Hawkeye's shoulder.
- It's all right, lieutenant, I'm going to take him to his home so he can have a rest.
Hawkeye agreed and accompanied them to the Elric brother's house.
- Goodnight lieutenant, said Pride.
Riza just smiled and left them.
- Envy, began Pride.
- Hm ?
- The door is closed. Do you… do you have the key of this house ?
Envy blinked.
- I thought you had it, you shrimp !
- So, do you have some money to sleep at the hotel ? asked Pride with a calm that Envy envied.
- No. The old fossil is so miserly that he wouldn't give me a cenz to eat if I was dying from hungry !
Omake
Havoc entered in Roy's office with a triumphal smile upon his lips.
- Good morning sir, I'm pleased to inform you that you finally achieve your aim, you're the new Fuh… Geez ! exclaimed Havoc, staring at Envy's look. Have you been sleeping under a bridge, last night !
