Chapter 6: Searching the house
(Authors note. My whole story format is dedicated to Shadow Dreamer 27.)
Information to keep in mind Pairing: Armstrong and Fuery, Roy and Falman, Breda and Riza, Havoc and Andrew/Wind.
About the Comstat. Ok FMA is based in the 20th century so around 1910 is the estimate date. And I know Comstat went invented in that era, nor were any type of walkie-talkie. Well there was but they were huge things. So for the sake of my FanFic I'm gunna use today's technology for the past. Thanks for understanding
"Alright its 11:30 now, Armstrong, your group will come back at 12:30, Riza's at 1:30, mine at 2:30 then Armstrong's again at 3:30 then we will all meat at the entrance at 4:00 sharp. Andrew gave us 7 sets of these Comstat's. Hook them on and don't use them unless it's reporting something. Havoc turn yours off unless you need to report something now lets move" Roy ordered.
Everyone solute before going on their way.
"Sir where are we suppose to go again?" Havoc said with a huge stuffed up nose.
Roy rolled his eyes and looked at the map on the wall.
"Armstrong and Fuery will go to the top floor, Breda and Riza check the basement, Havoc you'll stay on this floor with Wind and Andrew. Falman you and I take the 2nd floor does everyone understand" Roy had a sharp glance behind him at everyone ells.
"Sir" everyone replied. As everyone started on their way Roy herd Breda complain.
"The basement, why the basement of all things?" Riza rolled her eyes and gave Roy a thanks a lot look and continued on walking down the stairs.
Roy couldn't help but smile at this then continuing on his way. Once Roy and Falman were on their level they waited for Armstrong and Fury to get to here place.
"Everyone in place?" Roy talked into his Comstat.
"Breda and I are set to go Sir" Riza replied.
"All set up here Sir" Fuery said with a little nervousness.
"Check the time often, and Breda try not to get to tired and pass out, it's a long way for any of us to go back down there to pick you up… over and out" Roy said with a serious sly remark.
Riza who took that as a sexist remark, quietly said, "Jerk" under her breath and carried on.
(Time 11:53pm)
"Mr. Andrew?" Havoc said while peeking his head into the room were they were first brought by Wind the night before. Otherwise called as the green room.
"Hum not here…" Havoc said out loud.
Before he could close the door he heard a noise coming form the door at the back of the room. Havoc went to investigate. As he got closer he could hear the voices.
"Why can't I get this right? Everything is perfect so why can this be right? Where is that damn necklace!" the voice sounded like Andrew.
Havoc slowly turned the door handle and opened it. He knocked on the door and peaked his head around the door.
"Mr. Andrew?"
"Oh Second Lieutenant Havoc. I'm so sorry for the mess. I have been looking for something and can't seem to find it. Please come in."
"Thank you Sir" Havoc said while stepping into the room.
"Mr. Mustang told me about that plan your doing and I hope my home isn't too big for everyone" Andrew said
"What are you looking for Sir?" Havoc said with curiosity in his voice was looking around the messy room.
"A necklace that is very important for my experiment" Andrew said with some evil in his voice.
"Mr. Havoc what floor is Mrs. Hawkeye on?" Andrew said with interest
"She isn't married,"
" Oh really? I beg ur pardon, what Ms. Hawkeye." Andrew said with lots of interest in his voice "so what floor is she on?"
" I don't know sir, we switch up a lot and she could be with anyone on any floor" Havoc said lying through his teeth. (I don't like the feel he is giving off in his voice. I better keep him away form the Lieutenant) Havoc thought to him self.
"Then you should call her on the Comstat I supplied everyone with" Andrew insisted.
"Sorry Mr. Berri, I can only use this to report something" (besides what the hell do you want with her? Better get off topic) havoc thought to him self again.
" So… where is Wind?" Havoc said with a play boyish voice and not trying to make eye contact.
"Oh I believe she is off somewhere, you know how women are. Always demands that they are free do to as they wish" Andrew said getting back to his books.
Andrew started to sort all of his stuff. Havoc helped to pass time. He sensed that this guy was up to no good and why did he want Riza?
(Time 12:15)
"Find anything over there Breda?" Riza asked in a shout.
"Nothing yet sir. It's hard to get through everything in this huge room.
The room where Riza and Breda were at was the biggest on that floor. It seemed like a room where you'd entertain guests. Almost like the room was everything but the Bathroom and bedrooms. But on the far wall there were 7 doors. Although this room seemed to e a entertainment room that didn't tell them about what the other 7 rooms were.
"Its 12: 25 lets start heading up stairs," Riza said looking at her clock on her wrist.
"Thank god I hate it down here" Breda said while almost jogging to catch up to Riza.
"Colonel, were starting our switch" Breda said speaking into this Comstat.
"Good, report back when your at the station" Roy said with his usual military forceful voice.
"Yes Sir" Breda replied.
As Breda and Riza made it back up the stairs and tried to figure out where Andrew could be they finally herd Havoc's voice and the smell of cigarette smoke. As both Riza and Breda entered the room, havoc seemed in a rush to switch with Breda.
"Hello my dear." Andrew said with a smile
"I guess I'm the one who will be replacing …" Riza said. But was cut off by havoc.
"Yeah Breda you can stay here. We know how you hate the dark so the next shift is up stairs" Havoc said grabbing Riza arm and trying to get out the door.
"No I'm not Havoc" Breda said while looking at Havoc strangely.
Havoc stopped in his steps and looked behind him. "Yes you are you told me last night on the train. Remember what the colonel said only use the Comstat for reports. Later Breda!" Havoc said trying not to be too suspicious.
"Want to explain that Havoc?" Riza said while being pulled by Havoc.
"Not here Sir, wait till we get to our station" Havoc said almost pulling Riza away form the room.
Back in the messy room Breda just shrugged his shoulders then closed the window Havoc left open for his smoke. Then asked Andrew the same thing that havoc asked and started to help with the clean up.
Almost out of breath Havoc and Riza were finally back in the basement and havoc turned his Comstat on.
"Colonel, I'm joined with Havoc. We will continue our search." Riza said while waiting for a reply.
"Sir?" Riza asked again. But got no answer.
Riza started to worry a little bit and called again.
"SIR!" with a little more forceful voice.
"You will never get him back…" a voice came on the air in a whisper.
Havoc looked up at Riza and heard the creepy voice.
"Lets see that, probably just one of the others messing around. Ok ha-ha we get it, Colonel Mustang, Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc. Where are you?" Havoc said with a strong voice
"Just you wait, his heart belongs to me…" the voice came back on.
Riza and Havoc both looked at each other. "Ok Sir don't be scared, I bet its Fuery. He has a girlish voice! Fuery if you're toying with us…" Havoc said and stopped all of the sudden the Comstat started making screeching sounds that sounded like screaming.
"Havoc!" Riza shouted while covering her ears.
"I didn't do anything! How do we make it stop!" Havoc said looking at his Comstat.
Just as Riza glanced to her left, she saw someone standing right there in a white dress that was ripped. She was pale and her eyes were a piercing blue. She had long brown hair that touched the her bum. She was about the same height as Riza and had a little bit of the same similarities as Riza as well. This girl was starting directly at Riza with her blue eyes in an evil rage stare.
"Havoc, look" Riza said in a scared yet emotionless voice.
"What?" havoc said while looking over Riza's shoulder and not seeing anything.
"Sir, there isn't anything there…?" Havoc said when Riza's eyes caught his attention.
(Time 12:45)
"Sir, what do you make of this?" Falman brought a torn up picture over to Roy.
Roy looked at the old picture and in it was a girl in a long white dress with long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. She was in a garden as it seemed and she was sitting on a swing with flowers on her lap.
"This looks like Wind" Roy said while looking at the picture.
"Sir, doesn't she look familiar?" Falman said
Roy took a second look. "Riza!"
"Yes sir, that lady has the same facial structure as the Lieutenant and by the looks of it the same body" Falman pointed out.
Roy stopped and looked at Falman with a glare. "Your…. What do you mean same body structure? Have you been checking out your superior officer Falman?"
"Ahhh, no Sir! Just saying its identical and if you look she has the same eyes but not the same colour and same bangs." Falman straightened up with a blush on his face.
"And if you look on the back of the picture" Falman pointed out
Roy turned the picture on the back and saw some writing. "December 17th 1888" Roy said.
"1910 – 1888 is 22 years ago, now look at this picture" Falman gave Roy another picture.
This picture had the swing and flowers in the same place but in the background were a tombstone with fresh soil on the ground. On the tombstone it said "Wind Barri, 1863-1889. Beloved daughter and Wife to Andrew Berri"
"She was only 26 years old" Roy said out loud.
