Roy stared grimly up at the clouds covering the sky as he waited for the scout to come back. It had taken a lot of investigating through out the broken city to figure out where the conspirators met and he didn't want rain to cheat them of their justice.
The scout came up to Roy after a few minuets. "Sir the numbers are right, but there are guards at the front entrance."
They would have to shoot them down then "Can you see the guards from the roof?" The solider nodded. "You get to your position and wait for the order, good job." The solider saluted and left Roy.
The Colonel found the best sniper in the squad and quickly they went to the top of a roof where he could shoot the men. If Hawkeye was there he wouldn't have even needed to ask for the best sniper, Roy thought. He tried to push her out of his head at the moment, if he had wanted her to stay here he could've made it happen, but he was responsible for her not being there. Roy tried again to concentrate on the matter on hand. The snipers orders were to take the guards out once they saw Roy and the rest of the squad was near the warehouse.
Roy and the 30 other men walked around the corner to see the two men laying face down in the dirt, this was there cue to surround the building to cut off escape routes. Roy and 15 other men stayed to enter through the main door the Colonel walked ahead of the men and snapped his fingers.
The door exploded into flames knocking it off of the old warehouse. The soldiers rushed past Roy to arrest the men inside. He settled back to watch the men being led out of the warehouse. He's heard it before the cries for innocence and the swearing of getting their revenge.
Later Roy walked into his abandoned office and saw the fresh pile of paperwork in the in tray. The captures of the conspirators of course meant more paperwork for him.
"Can't I ever get a break?" he said sighing while he sat down. He took the first paper off of the stack and started reading it but not paying attention. After reading the same sentence over about ten times Roy set down the paper and swiveled around in his chair to face his window. He stretched and yawned trying to procrastinate. But procrastinating was harder now, he kept hearing a part of himself saying "Now what would Hawkeye say or do if she saw you like this?" Then he thought of her.
Since he returned to Central he wondered how he felt about his Lieutenant. Before he had to leave to go to the north Hawkeye and he were getting along great. Most of their conversations before he was injured had to do with paperwork or investigations. With no work to talk about they had to talk about other things. Mostly Roy did the talking since Riza never seemed to reveal things from her past.
He set a goal to make Riza laugh. He used his charm, his wit but nothing ever seemed to crack her. He did though get a lot of smiles, he wished he could see one now. They always seemed to be the best pick me up when he was feeling down about his condition. He felt like he needed one of those smiles right now, but the problem was he couldn't see it in his mind…
After Roy helped the soldiers move the riot down the street to avoid the explosion. The bomb squad of course did not reach the site soon enough so most of the food trucks exploded. Luckily for the military no one was hurt.
Once the explosion finished the rioters quieted down, but for some reason he thought he heard gunshots and he had yet to see the Lieutenant Hawkeye among the commanding soldiers. He found a Major and he told him that Hawkeye had left with some men to go search for the people who put the bomb on the bottom of the truck.
Once he heard she was gone Roy ran following his ears trying to find where the gunshots had taken place. When he almost lost hope of finding the location he heard another thing, a building collapsing. Now that was easier to find than phantom gunshots, alls what he had to do is follow the smoke flume. He rounded around a house slowly ready to snap. When he saw a soldier lying on the ground covered in shots he quickly smoldered the men who were responsible, and went over to the soldier.
"Are you okay?" He said kneeling by his side; he looked over the many gunshot wounds "I'll get a medic." The man shook his head and then started trying to say something.
"No," he lifted up his bloody arm and pointed at the ruble, "Lieutenant Hawkeye… in the crash."
"What?" Mustang said shocked and ran over to the ruble, walking back and forth trying to find where she was. "Hawkeye! Hawkeye!" He was about to start digging in blindly when he heard a muffled yell. Roy ran over to where she was and started lifting up boards uncovering her face. Roy felt himself smile out of relief only to be shocked by the pained expression on Hawkeye's face. "Hawkeye, do you hear me? Don't worry I'll get you out of here in no time." She looked into his eyes briefly and slightly nodded, and then she closed her eyes.
Now Roy had to get an ambulance out there. He stepped away from Riza and the other soldier and snapped, shooting up flames 30ft above the buildings.
Seeing his flare a police car came and he asked them to return with an ambulance. While waiting he waited by the soldier and went back to Riza every now and then checking up on her and removing some of the ruble. The problem was if she was unconscious then she must've been in a lot of pain from most likely injuries. He had to remove the boards like pick-up sticks. When he was moving a board something hard fell down the pile and at his feet, it was Riza's gun. He quickly pocketed it and started looking for the other one she usually had on her. He found it over by a wall on the other side of the lot. He was putting that one in a pocket when he heard the sirens of the ambulance.
They did their job by quickly loading the shot soldier on the stretcher and finished uncovering Riza and then putting her on the stretcher. Roy watched grimly as he saw Riza loaded up into the ambulance. She was dirty and he saw the blood coming from her arm. He was about to hop in the ambulance himself to go with Riza to the hospital when a military car came up.
"Are you Major Mustang?" the man in the car said after rolling down his window.
"Yes."
"You're wanted at headquarters, hop in." Roy looked at Riza and reluctantly hopped out of the ambulance. He took one last look at the medic handling her.
"You better take good care of her," he said warningly. The medic raised an eyebrow and nodded.
When he got to the headquarters he had to fill out the paperwork for the riot, even though he didn't have anything to do with it. Honestly it seemed like the higher ups loved to torture him personally, but as General Hakuro told him he was the only one there who had knowledge on the nature of the bombing.
When he got all of his paperwork done he caught a ride over to the hospital. The hospital had been very busy since the invasion from the other world. They were so overbooked that there were tents surrounding the hospital filled with less serious patients. He found a nurse and found out where Riza might be. Since from what Roy had seen her injures were pretty extensive so he headed to the critical unit.
He walked up to a nurse in the hallway of the critical unit "Could you tell me if there is a Lieutenant Hawkeye here."
"Yes, sir she is here but she's hardly in any condition to see a visitor right now."
"It doesn't matter if she sees me I just want to see her," the nurse paused for a moment and sighed.
"Alright Sir but just a moment," She started walking down the hall and Roy followed closely. She led him to a door and opened it into a cold hospital room where Riza was laying unconscious in. "If you're looking for a conversation though I doubt you'll find one, " the nurse said leaving him.
Roy walked over to the bed and pulled a chair over to sit down next to her. He let out a sigh looking sadly at his poor Lieutenant. "Look what mess you got your self in Hawkeye; I thought you were supposed to be the one taking care of me." She had on a hospital gown which reviled her arms that were covered in scratches. Whatever wasn't covered in scratches were covered in bruises or casts. He reached over and held her right hand carefully.
Riza opened her eyes and looked around trying to focus, and looked at Roy. He stared at her frozen out of shock as she reached up and touched his cheek smiling. "Please don't worry Sir."
"Riza…I…I…," he had no idea what to say. He had seen Hawkeye drop her calm demeanor many times, but he had never seen such a sweet almost loving look on her face. As he was trying to find words Riza suddenly winced and started breathing heavily. He immediately knew something was wrong. "Riza are you okay? Nurse!" he called out the door, "Come quick."
He heard the hurried steps of the nurse as she came down the hall. She went over to a drawer in the room and took out a syringe and injected it into the IV in her arm. Riza quickly stopped fussing and seemed to seep back into unconsciousness.
The nurse went and disposed of the empty syringe in the disposal box and turned to Roy with a sympathetic smile. "Just something to help her sleep."
"Please tell me how bad is it," he said staring grimly at Riza.
"Two bullet wounds, a broken collar bone, a broken wrist two broken ribs and a broken ankle, I'll tell you now it's not good news." She walked over to her chart and wrote a note down.
"So what happens to her next?"
"I'm afraid she won't be with us for long," Roy's eyes widened in shock and he stared at the nurse.
"WHAT? That can't be!" he said looking desperately over at his Lieutenant.
"Oh I didn't say she was going to die," the nurse said laughing "I said she won't be with us for long"
"Which means they're going to die." Roy said through gritted teeth. That was a mean trick for that nurse to play on him.
"They only say that in movies," the nurse said still laughing, "If you don't mind Sir I have to go make rounds."
Roy reached over and grabbed her wrist. "Wait if she's not going to be with us where will she be?"
"At a recovery center probably somewhere across the country, we nurses really never know where they go specifically. We just put them on the trains with their charts and of they go."
"Is there anyway that you could have them sent to a specific place?"
"Of course it is but, usually it will only be approved if the order comes from someone with a rank of Colonel or higher, and by the looks of it you're only a Major. Sorry pal but unless you have friends in high places then it looks like that's not happening."
"You're right I don't have many friends among the bigwigs," he said quietly to himself, then a thought dawned in his head, "But she does."
It took Roy quite a while but he found the list of locations where they sent the injured soldiers. Eureka was on that list, he remembered back in the Ishbal he got slightly scraped up and was sent to the infirmary there a doctor told of him of Eureka. He talked about the picturesque town and how much he missed it. He thought a moment and remembered the man's name, Doctor Warren.
He had to beg General Grumman to let him send Hawkeye to Eureka. Also he ended up being able to send Falman to escort her to the town. Roy had only one more thing to arrange.

"Hello Crippled Surgeon Warren speaking." Warren said board.
"Good day Warren this is Major Mustang."
"Well hello there Major, hmm you're still a Major after all of these years? Weren't you a war hero or something?"
"Ha ha Warren," Roy said sarcastically, "Glad to hear you remember me after all of these years."
"How could I forget the Flame Alchemist, I don't get to treat state alchemists everyday."
"Right Doctor let me get strait to the point, you've heard of the recovery camps right?"
"Of course I do work in the medical field."
"So I have a list of the names of the towns where the camps are located and your little home town is on it."
"…Really…"
"Today my best subordinate was shot down and she is going to be sent to Eureka and I don't want some incompetent doctor in charge of her."
"What would you like me to do about it?"
"I want you to go with her."
"…."
"Well?"
"Mustang why me we only met once,"
"Well I don't know any other doctors and I hear you are quite accomplished. Coincidentally you got injured."
"How did you know," Warren said with false surprise.
"A bird told me, now will you do the job or not?"
There was a pause on the other side of the line.
"I guess I've been meaning to go home soon, might as well be paid for it," Roy heard him sigh.
"Good and if you could send updates on her condition once you're there that would be great."
"Hey I'm not your—," Warren started to say but stopped when he heard the phone go dead.
Havoc slammed Roy's office door as he walked in with a new stack of paper. "Hey Colonel, procrastinating?" he said grinning as he put them on the desk.
"No," Roy said swiveling back to face the desk, "Just resting my eyes."
"You know Colonel you can't use that expression anymore."
"Why not Havoc?" Roy said scowling.
"Well seeing as you have an eye not eyes you can't use the plural." Havoc started laughing from his own wit but stopped when he saw the death glare from the Colonel. "You know Colonel," Havoc said changing the subject and lit a new cigarette, "We've been wondering about Hawkeye."
"What about her?"
"Well she is scheduled to come back in four months and we wondered if you were getting her."
"Yes I will be going to Eureka in four months but the Lieutenant won't be coming back with me."
"What, but you said that the Doctors letters say that she's itching to come ba—,"
"They also," Roy said interrupting "that her injuries are going to heal slowly and won't be completely healed in four months."
"But shouldn't she be able to heal here though."
"No I want Hawkeye away from here. I don't want her in any danger until she is fully healed." Roy added a warning tone to his last words to get Havoc to leave sooner.
"Yes Sir," Havoc said.
