Chapter 3

"Damn. How much further do we have to walk?" Edward asked the limping man in front ofhim. They have both been walking for at least ten minutes and it was getting on Edwards nerves.

"Complain one more time and I'll let those monsters have you."He replied.

"Sorry, I'm just upset. It's not everyday you see someone you care about be taken away."

"It is now. A few days ago we saw Sheska killed right in front of us by 'Falman' and we actually saw how all of this started. You didn't." Edward could tell just by how Ling said it, that he had changed a lot.

"Are you, Hawkeye, and Havoc the only survivors?"

"There are some others. Some of the people that live in Central survived this ordeal.But I'm surprised there were more than 10 in Central alone."

"Only 10?"

"Yeah."

With Mustang and Havoc

Havoc was on the ground forcing himself up into a sitting position. He had been attacked by Mustang's Flame Alchemy. Needless to say he was happy to have minimal damage.

"Are you going to tell me were Elric is, or do I have to burn you some more?"Mustang asked smugly.Havoc was now standing up and leaning against the wall to his left.

"Again, I have to tell you I would never say where they were?" Havoc asked.

"Really, why do you bother to protect them?All of you will either die or join us and live forever."Mustang said. He knew Havoc wouldn't be telling him anything. So with that said he turned around and started to walk out of the building.

With Ling and Edward

Edward looked around in shock. How could they make a large underground level with bedrooms,bathrooms and without any of 'them' knowing?

"How did you do all of this?"Edward finally asked.

"Fletcher did this. Poor kid, after nearly a week of making our, uh, home, he was bushed."

"So Fletchers here too?"Edward asked after looking into a small bedroom.

"Yeah." Ling had stopped by a door and started looking in, "Hey, is she doing any better?"

Edward walked up beside Ling and looked in as well, only to see Riza Hawkeye sitting by a bed with Maria Ross on it.

"No, and she still hasn't woken up either." Hawkeye answered as she looked over to see Edward standing with the man who asked her the question.

"When did you come back?" She asked the shorter adult beside Ling.

"Earlier today."

"What about-"Edward cut her off.

"They took him." Was all he said before walking away. Ling was about to follow when Riza asked him a question.

"Where's Jean?" Ling looked down before answering.

"Someone followed them. He's probably holding 'it' off." Riza stood up and started towards the door.

"Where are you going?"He asked.

"To help him. Could you find someone to look after Maria?" Riza asked.

"You are not going out there. You still haven't recovered from the last attack."

"Watch me." And with that she was gone. Ling was getting frustrated, he had to deal with a mopping Edward, find someone to take care of Maria, and hope to God Riza and Jean make it back alive.

"Man, life sucks."
