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 !
