Chapter Twelve:

Mask, Part One

"Alright! Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt. I just want to know the room of someone named Roy Mustang, and I want to have access to that room! If you resist me...you die!"

The masked stranger enters! What danger does this bring?

Everybody in the room froze. The desk clerk simply stared at the masked person.

"Well?" said the masked person, "Tell me, damn it!"

The desk clerk jumped, and looked at the records.

"Let's see...room 102. B-but...why do you want to...?"

"Shut up." said the masked person, "Now...what am I forgetting...oh yeah!"

The person turned to look strait at Elric, Havoc, and Jenny. The three froze, and stared strait at the masked person.

"I need a hostage." said the masked person. "Little girl, come to me."

Jenny didn't move. Elric and Havoc tensed their muscles.

"Well?" said the stranger. "Don't you want daddy to live?"

Elric's eyes opened wide. How does she know that Jenny is Roy's daughter?

"Come on." said the masked person. Their voice was sounding sweet...and feminine.

"So she's probably a woman." whispered Elric to himself. "Great. And she has a gun, too. My God, this is gonna be hard..."

"Come on!" the masked woman was nearly screaming. "Get the hell over here, so I can complete my revenge on your damned family, you bitch!"

Havoc took this moment to dash forth and try to grab the gun. The masked stranger noticed this, and fired a shot.

"Havoc!" exclaimed Elric.

Is he okay? Elric thought.

"What the hell was that?" the doctor said again, hearing the loud noise.

"It sounded like a gunshot." said the other one. "What the...what's going on down there?"

"Jenny..." said Roy. "Jenny...the person...the one that ran over Riza...wanted revenge...right?"

The doctors couldn't hear him, since he was so quiet.

"...the person who ran over Riza...wanted to kill her...and the murderer...must be..."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Elric was shocked at the sight before his eyes. Havoc was on the ground, bleeding from the bloody wound in his chest. In his heart.

"Havoc..." whispered Elric.

"Ed...ward..." said Havoc. He was dying. "Jen...ny..."

"Havoc!" exclaimed Jenny, while the masked woman simply frowned. He was not someone she had wanted to kill.

"Jenny...please remember...that Roy...his feelings for you...he...URG!"

Havoc's heart gave out. The blood stopped, for he was dead.

"Havoc..." whispered Elric.

The masked woman had run up the stairs, and Elric got up to run after her.

Jenny leaped on Elric's back.

"Let's go." she said, wiping the tears from her eyes. "We have to stop that person."

Elric blinked, and then gave a sad smile.

Really the child of Mustang and Hawkeye...

"Alright." said Elric. "Let's go."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The masked woman was running up the stairs.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn! I didn't mean to kill that bastard Havoc, he just got in the way! Damn it...oh well, cleanse these thoughts...I have to kill Mustang. That's the only reason I came. Kill him for the terrible crimes he's committed...for murdering those two that I loved the most...adopted or not.

She turned to the floor with the first few one hundreds. She looked around and saw one hundred and two, smiling.

When she heard the footsteps behind her, she ran in.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Room one-o-two..." said Elric in a whispered voice. "That's where Roy is, and where the masked woman is."

"But what did she mean by 'revenge', Mr. Elric?" asked Jenny. "What has daddy done to anyone to make them angry enough to kill?"

Elric thought for a minute, and then he realized.

"Wait a minute...her family...perhaps it's a son...and a husband. What if...she never knew the truth...and that the father actually..."

Elric saw that the door to room one hundred and two was open, so he rushed in. He could hear gunshots.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"The murderer must be..." said Roy, as the doctors fell to the gunshots. He coughed. "Mrs. Bradley. The wife of the President Bradley, mother of Selim Bradley."

Bradley grinned.

"That's right." she said. "Now die, Roy Mustang."
