Sorry guys, I went to visit family and literally left all my electronic items behind (seeing as my lovely grandmother would throw them away). Besides, my gma doesn't believe in internet. I honestly didn't think you'd notice my absence.
It was a day off for the two of them and Roy was trying to come up with something to do. Edward had been more than well-behaved and deserved a treat.
He asked Hawkeye, Havoc, Hughes (which was a mistake, all he got was stories on when him and his wife would have kids) and lastly, Armstrong (which was even worse).
In the end, he took Ed to a park that seemed away from civilization and it had a nice play area for the boy. When they got there, Ed became shy. There was already a kid on the playground. What if he was mean?
"Go play. I'll be right here." Roy insisted nudging Ed towards the playground. He swallowed hard and slowly approached the swings watching the other boy carefully.
"Hello Edward." A female's voice sounded from the small boy who sat on the swing next to Ed.
Ed recognized that voice...
The little boys eyes flashed red slightly before continuing. "We've been watching you and we have a job for you."
Fear shot through Edward at the sound of this already... It was Lust and she was acting as if it was okay he got caught...
"There are some documents you need to find. One called XH-74251 and the other, XH-88539. They are very important. Give them to me tonight."
Edward thought for a second. He contemplated saying no and running away but Lust beat him to the action by holding up a small stuffed kitty that made Ed go rigid.
He nodded and looked to Mustang sadly. Surley he would hate Ed for doing this but he had to...
Ed nodded and to his shock, Lust had disappeared. It must've been when he looked away...
Well, if Roy, the man who was so nice to him, was going to hate him forever, he might as well make today the best day ever.
Edward ran over to Roy and hugged him, which surprised Roy to say the least. Ed was only gone for two minutes and already missed him? His heart kinda melted slightly.
Roy spent the day trying to let Ed have fun but Ed was very clingy which set up ab immediate red flag. While Edward was young and had developed trust for Roy, he had never been this helpless.
"Alright. What's up." Roy demanded once back in his apartment. He knelt down to Ed's level and noticed the boy averting eye contact. "Edward." His tone changed and Ed started squirming. He couldn't say and if he did...
To his luck there was a knock at the door and Roy had left him to answer it.
"Hawkeye?"
"Sir, there was an attack on a family not far from here. They saw a boy attack his own family killing them all. The witnesses suspect it was Homunculus."
Roy nodded and turned back to find Ed gone. "Ed?" Mustang dashed to the bedroom to find the window open and the golden haired boy running into a crowd of people.
"Ed!" Roy called. Edward knew something. It angered the man that after all he did, that child still acted this way. He growled and stormed out the door pissed off. If this child wanted to play games, then fine. Game on.
The man got in the car with Hawkeye on his tail and the two headed strait for the office where they were sure Ed was headed. Roy paced around his office, anger fulling his being. That stupid brat.
"Sir. Please calm down." Hawkeye tried.
"Calm down? After that? No. He just left and he will learn that there were worse places to be put." His mind was made up. As soon as they caught Ed, he was going to a holding cell. No ifs, ands, or buts.
They remained there for a few houses before a burglary was reported at the records department of the library, the suspect was none other than Ed. And with that, Roy was off to stop that little brat from causing any other problems.
Ed silently wandered through the streets to a familiar alley. His head remained bowed and his senses were sharp.
"Oh look. So that idiot is worth keeping after all."
"Envy, do be nice. He did get what we were after."
"Yeah but this small fry here got caught the first time." Envy and Lust stepped out of the shadows. Envy grinned evilly to the cowering boy. "Hello shorty."
Lust stepped forward and held out her hand smiling in satisfaction as the child gave her the folder. To her surprise, he tried to run away which had both humunculi smiling in amusement.
Ed cried out when something sharp pierced his side leaving a gash behind.
"Naughty little boy. Don't tell me you want to go back to those dogs of the military." Lust clicked her tongue and Ed stared into the distance. Goodbye Mustang... Thanks for everything.
"Let's just take him back. We'll need him soon anyway." Envy grabbed Ed's arm and yanked him up.
"Over my dead body." Before anyone could move, flames shot out and knocked Ed away from the humunculi. The child looked up bashfully to the glaring man who ignored the presence of him.
"Ah if it isn't Colonel Mustang." Lust smiled. "Miss me?"
"With every bullet so far." There was a shot from Hawkeye on the roof of the buildings, she managed to hit Envy in the arm distracting him for the time being.
"Hey! That hurt!" Envy called and Lust pulled him back.
"Don't worry about her. Let us worry about the flame alchemist in front if us yes? After all, wouldn't want someone getting hurt."
"Take one step and I'll burn you to a crisp." Roy growled readying his fingers.
Lust smirked holding the stuffed cat up before taking a step forward. Everything happened in a blur as Ed dashed in front of Lust and Envy as flames lit the area.
OK. How mad would you be if I killed Ed? Be honest?
Lol I can't do that.
Review please! You have no clue how badly I need them!
