Roy Mustang sat quietly at his desk, watching the clock as he patiently awaited it to strike 12. Is it just me or does time seem to go my slow lately, he thought. He leaned back in his chair and turned his attention to the large stack of paper work sitting on his desk. If Riza wasn't on the two week vacation that Roy had given her, he would probably cowering under her gun signing papers until his hand felt numb right now.

The colonel smiled to himself as he kicked his feet out on his desk. It was awfully quiet in the office without lieutenant Hawkeye around. He looked up at the clock and sighed. It was a good 20 minutes until his lunch break. Roy winced at the thought of Riza's gun to his chest if he were to even think of leaving the office early without finishing his paper work. He brushed off the thought and smiled as he stood up. He had nothing to worry about. Riza was probably enjoying her time away from the office at home, or maybe at the beach. Well, it was in mid-November, the weather was likely to be too cold to even be out of the house. Still, a cunning grin curved around the edges of the colonel's mouth, the idea of his female lieutenant in a bikini rather appealed to him. He chuckled softly to himself as he walked to the corner of the room, to retrieve his coat, when he heard the door open behind him.

"Sir, may I ask where you think you're going?" Roy stood dead in his tracks. He didn't need to turn around to know that Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye stood in the center of the doorway. The colonel's smile faded as he turned around to face his fellow military officer. She stood there with her arms crossed staring blankly at Roy, awaiting his answer. Her long blonde hair was pined up as usual and she wore the same emotionless expression.

"Ah, Lieutenant Hawkeye. I should be asking you the same thing. As I do recall, I gave you a much deserved vacation just yesterday." Riza gave him a heartless smile. "And I appreciate it colonel." And she did. Riza just couldn't find herself to be away from work for more then a couple of days. It was all she had really. "I just felt like I've gotten enough rest. But I …very much appreciate the thought, Sir" Riza gave Roy a genuine, heartfelt smile.

Roy looked at Riza with a question in his eyes. Was she actually thanking him? He began to approach his officer, a look of worry in his eyes when, the lieutenant looked away from him to the ground. "Lieutenant, it's good to have you back but are you sure that –" Riza looked back up, the emotion in her face gone.

"Sir, I can assure you that I am fine. I've just been tired that's all. Now I'm all rested." She gave the colonel a reassuring smile. She then walked pass him to the coat rack, hanging her coat. "I couldn't help but notice that you were heading out Colonel." She said without turning around. "I presume your paper work is done?" Roy sighed. Well, he thought, she sure seems to be well enough. Mumbling curses under his breath, Roy walked over to replace his coat on the coat rack. Riza merely walked over to her desk and turned to face Roy.

"Get to work please, Sir." Roy looked longingly over at the door then down on the stack of papers awaiting him on his desk. With another sigh, Roy walked over to his desk and sat down. He was about to begin signing his paper works when, a light knock was heard on the door.

"Come in." Roy mumbled. The door opened to reveal second lieutenant, Jean Havoc. He walked in casually and leaned against Roy's desk, talking over the cigarette in his mouth. "Colonel, we've just received a call from Edward Elric. He said that he should be heading back to central on the first train out of his current location." Roy looked up briefly, then back down to his papers. "Did Ed say exactly where his current location was?" Havoc snickered. "Unlikely, I think he enjoys making you wait. The kid sounded as if he was in a hurry actually. Barely stayed on the phone long enough for a hello and goodbye." Roy sniggered. Sounds like Ed. He thought. Always on the move. He sighed. When is the kid going to give up his goose chase on the philosopher's stone and get a real life?

The colonel shook away the thought and continued his work. "Thank you Lieutenant, your dismissed." Havoc stood their for a second then opened his mouth as if about to say something, then decided not to and began to turn around. "Was their something else, Havoc?" Havoc stopped in front of the office door and turned around smiling. He rubbed his head. "Well, actually…" The colonel looked up for the first time.

"What is it, Havoc?"

"Well, Sir, I was hoping if I could maybe take the next week off?"

"May I ask what for, Lieutenant?"

Havoc looked down, and shrugged. "Well, there really was no particular reason. It's just that…well, a few days off of work sounded sort of nice."

The colonel looked back down. "You have my permission, lieutenant. But this will be the first and last time that you will be excused from work without a good reason. It seems like we've all been a little off the edge with work lately." He glanced at Riza who sat at her desk staring at the floor with clouded eyes. Roy looked away from her, feeling a bit concerned at this point, but decided not to think much of it. He looked back to where Havoc was standing. "Finish the rest of the day, Lieutenant, and then you will be excused. I expect you back on Wednesday, Havoc. Do you understand?" The officer nodded and made a quick salute then walked out of the office.
