Hi again. I've managed to get the computer back for a few hours.
Disclaimer: Not mine. All I own is the plot, my five OC's that will appear in this story and Volumes 3 and 5 of the Manga.
Thanks to my reviewers: Anicka and loyalsoul
Anicka:Glad you thought so. I won't ask
loyalsoul: Nice to know you think that. Can't wait to hear your opinion about this chappy and the one's to follow.
Originally I wasn't planning on posting this until I got some more reviews but I'm just so happy to have gotten the computer back and I don't know how long I'll have it for. That, and 3 people have put this story on alert and I haven't even gotten to the good stuff. The same can be said about the 1 person who has favourited this story.
Anyway, please enjoy Chapter 2 of Every Dog Has Its Day
Chapter 2
Back and Forth
Riza Hawkeye walked back across the courtyard for the fifth time in the last two hours.
After she'd arrived at Brigadier General Tromp's office, she delivered the files directly to him and they talked for about 10 minutes. They'd always gotten along well with each other every time they met.
Before she left he asked her to deliver some files to Mustang and she gladly obliged seeing as she had to go back there anyway.
10 minutes after she'd arrived back at her office and delivered Tromp's files for Mustang, Mustang discovered some more files that were supposed to go to Tromp.
Riza took them and went out through the main door, across the courtyard, around the side of the building and through one of the side entrances.
When she'd arrived back at Tromp's office, he'd had a good laugh about it and said that he too had found some more files for Mustang. (A/N: In other words, both men are very disorganized)
So she delivered Tromp's files to him, took Mustang's files and headed off again. She went back out the side entrance, around to the front of the building, across the courtyard, back through the main entrance and to Mustang's office.
This continued to happen for two hours.
On the fifth time as she was walking back from Tromp's office; she discovered something out of the ordinary parked in the courtyard, front end facing the gates.
"Don't people know they can't park there!" she muttered to herself. She sighed "I'd better go tell them to move."
She changed her path and walked towards the medium sized white truck/van.
She stopped next to the passenger side door. She put one hand on the window to shield a small section of it from the glare that the sun was causing, leaned her head close and looked in.
It looked normal enough. Glove box hanging open due to the fact it was overfilled, brochures on the passenger's seat as well as a novel and a map and other random things scattered on the floor.
"Hello?" she called, moving her head away from the window "Hello?"
"H-hello?" came a weak, shaky, female sounding voice from the back compartment of the vehicle "I-is there s-someone th-there?"
"Yes. My name is Second Lieutenant Hawkeye. Are you alright?" she asked as she moved to stand next to the rear door.
There was a pause in which Riza thought she heard the person muttering. Then: "N-no. Some psycho shoved me in here. P-please help. It's cold in her and I'm b-bleeding."
"Okay, just hold on."
Riza grabbed the door handle with her one free arm. Just before she turned it, she got a bad feeling and stopped.
"I'm gonna go get help, okay?" Riza called.
"W-wait! Please don't go! I-I'm about-t to pass out!" the woman cried.
Riza frowned. Something didn't feel right about this, but going against her better judgement, she grasped the handle again. She turned the handle and slid the door open. As she did, cold steam floated out of the van.
'Why was it unlocked?' she wondered worriedly.
Riza gasped in terror. The reports she held fell to the ground unchecked and scattered. She should've trusted her instincts.
Oooo, what's gonna happen. What is so scary that Riza Hawkeye would be terrified? Find out in the next chapter.
A/N: All right time for me to go on and on. Well, I hope people like this chapter. The next chapter is really short but it does the job and explains why Riza is scared. You would be too.
From now on I'm going to refer to this story as Every Dog. Every Dog is easier to type than Every Dog Has Its Day.
It may be difficult for me to update both Every Dog and Firecracker as my mother has been running a program on the computer that requires that no one touch it while said program is running. Oh well. Will update when I can.
Oh yeah! ROYAI FOREVER!
