The calculations are just a rough estimation. I dunno how long its been and I'm too lazy to check.Close enough.
Riza clung tighter to her coat as the harsh November wind brushed through the now empty streets. The bitter breeze ran it's icy finger through her hair, forebodingly caressing the sides of her face, causing a feeling of apprehension to envelope her. Riza shook it away, quickening her pace. She bit her lip, thinking back to the earlier phone call from 2nd lieutenant Breda. The usual hint of fastidious casualty found in his voice was replaced by a more formal tone, showing Riza the seriousness of the matter. Sudden flashes of the pervious nights' dreams simultaneously began to return to her, causing Riza to bump right into a second figure that seemed to appear out of nowhere in front of her, knocking it over.
Quickly shaking the images out of her mind Riza placed a vexed hand on her head, kneeling over to help the figure back to its feet.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you alri-" Riza stopped, realizing who it was she had knocked over. She found her self staring right into the familiar face of second lieutenant Havoc, his casual grin appearing as he saw the lieutenant. "Hey there, lieutenant. Naw, don't worry about it. " He started getting back to his feet, offering the lieutenant his hand to help her back to hers. She blinked, then quickly shook her head jumping up to her feet, causing the Havoc to laugh slightly.
"You alright there? You seem a little jumpy…" Riza cleared her throat, finding her voice. "No...I mean yes, I'm fine. Second lieutenant, what are you doing here?" Riza started, then mentally slaped her self, realizing how stupid that question must have sounded. It was perfectly normal for him to be taking his usual casual walk outside of headquarters to have a smoke, why would now be any different. She was about to withdraw the question when surprisingly, he opened his mouth to answer.
"Oh right. The colonel called and ordered that I hurry to headquarters. Surprisingly the train ride here didn't take any more then an hour. What about you? Didn't the colonel give you a two week break or something a couple of days before I left? Its only been a good three to four days, you back already?" Riza raised a questionable eyebrow. "I've been back…you were there…we kissed and-….wait…Havoc, what do you mean the train ride here? You were in the city!"
Havoc scratched his head. " Um…no…I asked for a week off. You were there when the colonel gave me his permission and-…wait…we kissed?" Riza's eyes widened as the realization of the last couple of days came to her… "Havoc, where's the colonel?"
Havoc shook his head in uncertainty. "I dunno, the office I guess…but hold on…we kissed!" Riza shook her head irritably, quickly walking past him, feeling she had wasted enough time when a light drizzle began, slowing working its way to a steady rain. She shook her head, muttering to herself "No…no no no …this can't be happening…its just a coincidence." Coincidence or not…Riza couldn't take the chance. She quickly turned to Havoc, shielding her eyes from the now heavy rain. "Havoc, scan the ally way, if you find the colonel, the both of you quickly return to headquarters." With that she ran off towards the direction of head quarters.
Havoc stood there, scrunching his face in both confusion and curiosity.
"But wait! Lieutenant! We kissed!"

"Conspiracy, huh?" Fuehrer king Bradley took a sip of his coffee then placed back down on the desk, bringing a hand to his chin and rubbing it thoughtfully. He then turned his gaze back to the two male officers standing laboriously in front of him. "And tell me, warrant officer Falman, and master sergeant Fuery, on what proof do you accommodate these charges?"
The two officers exchanged glances. They both felt extremely unorthodox confronting the fuehrer with no more then a "hunch"…even if it was from the colonel. "Er…We're n-not entirely sure, sir." Fuery started. Falman nodded.
"We weren't given specific details, fuehrer, but we were given direct orders from the colonel to send you a message that he has a…er…strong feeling of a supposed conspiracy against…well…he wasn't specifically clear on that either…." Both officers mentally slapped themselves, knowing they were getting nowhere.
King Bradley nodded, getting up and walking over to the two unsure men. "Relax officers, this isn't an interrogation. Though I am a bit unsure as to why Colonel Mustang would send you two with no knowledge whatsoever as what the hell your talking about." The two men sighed, realizing that they were not being taken seriously.
"Never the less, I'm sure it was nothing more then a false alarm. You two should quickly return to your post. Ms. Douglas will lead you out." He turned to the corner of the room where his secretary, Juliet Douglas stood serenely. She nodded under his gaze and turned to the two men. "This way." She said a little over a whisper as she walked pass the two men, leading them out. They sighed, defeated and perplexedly followed Ms. Douglas.
The fuehrer smi\iled and waved them goodbye as they exited the large office. As soon as they were out of view, the older man's warm smile faded to a dismal grimace. So I see Envy and Lust have things under control… He smiled as Ms. Douglas re entered the room, her thoughts along the same lines as his. They exchanged glances as they both silently said there dismal goodbyes to the soon to be late…colonel Roy Mustang.

A/n: Alright…another crappy chappy. I am terribly sorry for the delay I've been getting ready for school and all that fun stuff. I know what your think…if it was such a long delay at least I could've made a longer, a much better chapter then this. Well this is all I got. I promise the next one won't take so long and will be much better. Please read and review!
