-I think a certain major is trying to get rid of us so he can have some private time with a certain Colonel.
-I wouldn't doubt that.
Other than Gluttony and Jean, Heymans (Breda) and Kain (Fuery) were also sent looking for evidence that was not even specified by their superior, Roy Mustang. They had tooken a different route and were looking through a closest city, Ishbal. Both felt somewhat uncomfortable, many Ishbalan still held grudges against the military. Even if it was revealed that the military wasn't responsable for the suffering but a small group of terrorist called "Homunculi".
So they walk through the many routes of this very large and beautiful rebuilt city, it was nice to see that in the last five years that things were so well here. They walked around.
"Hey you guys, are you lost?" A youngter ask them, dropping the box he was holding.
"Hey do we know you?" Breda asked.
"Well I met you guys a long while ago, you probably don't remember me. I'm Rick"
Breda scratch his head,"No, doesn't ring a bell"
Rick sweatdroped. "Oh... oh well. I'm sure you guys are here about that weird black sky thing"
"That information is classi"
"Hey I came over to tell you there's this weird guy that arrived here that says he owns monsters from the gate whatever that means." Rick said interupting Breda.
"What!?" Fuery exclaimed. "Hey we should check that out since we really don't know what we're doing here anyway. Uh, Rick can you show us this guy"
"Sure, this way." The young Isballan ran in a northern direction and Fuery followed, Breda followed shortly after.
"What the hell are we running for?" Breda ask.
"We want to catch him while he's still here right?" Rick replied.
"I was talking to my partner here." Breda sweatdropped.
A few moments later, all three arried at a small restaurant like establishement, most people were sitting on the outside enjoying the day however their was obvious interest in a a particular individual. He had brighter skin than the natives. He was dressed in tight black pants, pointed shoes, a vest with a fur color and was wearing sunglasses. He was talking to several of the people about who knows what.
Breda decided to take charge of this situation and talk to the guy. He walk over and observed the oddly dressed fellow again, he notice something particular about him but couldn't exactly put his finger on it.
"Hey Buddy, got a staring problem or something?", the oddly dressed man asked.
"Sorry but I have a few-." Breda looked down at the man's left hand, he decided at that moment he should consult his partner. He walk off and grabbed Fuery bringing him over to the side, the strange man looked on with a brow raised.
Breda whispered, "That's a homunculus"
-Holy- really? How do you know?
-He has an ouroborus thing on his hand.
-How bout if its just a regular tatoo?
-Its way too bright to be a tatoo. We have to get back up right now. You distract him while I go for help.
-What! no way I can run faster.
-But I suck at keeping a conversation going.
-Gents, what's with the whispering? Breda and Fuery turned to see the guy was standing right next to them. They both jumped and back up. Breda grab for his gun.
"Hey now. No need for that, I don't hurt real easy so you're the only one that will get hurt if you shoot. Plus this is not the place to go all military right"
The man was correct, Ishbal was the last place the military wanted to make a fuss. Last thing they needed was the locals chasing them away.
"Oh, where's my manners: You can call me Greed. Your little pawn knows me quite well. We used to be on the same team you see but I got tired of being bossed around so I left. Guess he just is too much of a push over to take charge of his life. Oh well, I know why you're here; you want to find out about my investments. They're really nice but not the kind of pets you want to bring in a town so I left them in the shade outside. You're free to go find them but don't you break my property, I don't like when my stuff gets damaged."Greed grinned and turn walking away.
Breda pointed his gun at him for a moment but growled and put it away. There was no way he could shoot this guy without a big reason in this place. "Let's go back Fuery, there's no use staying here... I have a feeling were going to get an earful when we get back"
Fuery sighed and both left town, paperwork had to be completed now.
