They both headed down to the cafeteria and got in line. There was still plenty of time left to eat and chat. They both sat down at a table. The food didn't look edible. But they chocked it down anyways. Haze looked at him. "so have you gotten used to me following you around like a stalker yet?" "honestly? No." "didn't figure as much. It HAS only been one day." "…so why were you so obsessed with getting my information?" Haze looked at him harshly. Her face showed a look that said; don't-even-bother-asking-that-again-I-won't-answer-you. "…no reason." they remained silent after that. They walked back with Riza on the way to their office. She was talking about Roy doing some paper work or something. Haze tuned most of it out. Riza went to do some filing.
Roy and Haze returned to the Colonel's office. Haze sat in a chair with her head and legs over the arm rest. Going over Mustang's data. "That's not good for the chair." Roy stated. "it's not like I'm gonna break it." "What if you do?" "I'll fix it." Roy shook his head 'whatever' and went back doing paper work. Suddenly the door slammed open. Haze went on high alert. It was a short blond kid and a huge suit of armor. Haze was there to protect Mustang. Some one wearing a suit of armor and someone screaming had to be a threat. Haze flipped behind the suit of armor and pushed him, causing him to fall forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" the blond shouted. Haze grabbed the blonds arm and held it behind his back. Haze took out her gun and held it out. She stood on the person wearing the armor so he wouldn't get up. "who are you?" Haze shouted. Roy was surprised. She did everything so quickly, he almost couldn't keep up. Suddenly Roy started to laugh. "What?" Haze shouted. "It's okay. Hazel. They work for me." Haze turned her gun to Mustang. "I'm sorry. What? I went deaf after you called my name. didn't I tell you to call me Ms. Seishin or Colonel?" "you won't shoot me." the same second he said that Haze threw a knife at him. Sticking to the wall missing him by centimeters. "I never said anything about knifes. This all could've been avoided if you have given me you're data earlier!" "HELLO?!" the blonde shouted. "YOU'RE STILL HOLDING US DOWN!" Haze looked at them bored. She practically threw the short guy, and jumped off the suit of armor.
She went over to the chair again and sat like she did before. "what the hell was that for?!" the blond shouted. "Sorry, shorty. I thought you were a threat." "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A MINITURE MIDGET WHO COULD ONLY BE SEEN WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS?!" "You. Pipsqueak." The armor was holding the blond back from attacking her. "Mustang who are these people?" Haze asked. "they Edward and Alphonse Elric. They're brothers." "ah." Haze flipped through Roy's data. She found the Elric brothers. "huh. Shorty here is a alchemist." "Don't say short! And not just any Alchemist. The FULLMETAL alchemist." "Who? Oh right. You're that state alchemist. Uh, the shortest one to ever pass, right?" Edward looked like he was about to kill her with his bare hands. "YOUNGEST!" "Oh, my mistake. Hey you, tin can." "huh? Are you talking to me?" Alphonse asked. "yah. Why are you wearing that?" "uh, no reason." "wha?" Haze obviously wanted a straight answer. "so…how come…when I pushed you, you were so light? Mathematically, and logically you should weigh twice as much…you have to be a soul attachment. Am I right?" they both looked shocked. "and when I grabbed shortie's arm it was made out of metal. Care to explain?" they looked at each other kind of sadly. Haze got up. "on second thought, I've been nosy enough. Don't tell me if you don't want to." she went back to read Mustangs folder.
"ok, so who are you?" Edward asked. "Me? I was hired as Mustangs bodyguard." "who'd want to protect him?" "that's what I said when I got the job." both of them laughed. "hey who's side are you on?" Roy shouted. "I prefer to remain on the fence. I love being the neutral party." Haze sat on the chair as Edward talked to the Colonel. Alphonse sat on a couch across from Haze. Every now and then Haze would peek up from the folder and catch Alphonse looking at her. She shot her eyes up and then stuck her tongue out playfully. Alphonse jumped. "why so tense?" she asked bluntly. "eh… I was wondering…have you ever killed anyone?" "yes. This may sound like an excuse, but I did it so another person could live." "do you like your job?" "it puts bread on the table. I get thanked a lot. Though, I don't think I deserve it." "why?" Haze looked at him. "that's enough questions for me for today. Why don't you tell me something about yourself?" "well…um…" "how old are you?" "uh…14." "wow. So uh…" "how come you won't ask me about my soul attachment?" that question caught everyone's attention. "Al…" Edward said. "Brother, she's the only one who's never asked! I mean, she did. But disregarded the question 2 seconds later! Why?" Haze got up, walked over, and looked at him. "because…I know what ever happened, it caused you pain. And I wouldn't want to do anything that might cause you more pain. Especially since I don't really know you." she turned to Mustang. "I'm going on my break." she walked off and closed the door. "Are body guards allowed to take breaks?" Edward asked. Roy Replied; "this one is."
Haze walked down the hallway and out of the building. There was a bench right outside so she sat down. It was slightly cloudy. It was going to rain. Whenever it was, or about to rain, her shoulders hurt. Haze looked at her hand and wiggled her fingers. "I really need to see a mechanic." "why's that?" Haze looked up. She looked up. It was Hughes. "you know why Hughes. You're the ONLY one who knows why." "yah. Is something up? You seem out of it." "I just met the Elric brothers. They're so young. And I thought I was the only one stupid enough the do loose my own limbs." "yah, but you lost your limbs trying to protect a family. They lost it-" "don't tell me Hughes, I want them to tell me." "if you say so." "Hey Hughes if you find a mechanic for my auto mail please let me know." "Sure. Well I have to go now." "bye Hughes." It wasn't until he left when she said, "Hughes, you always know how to make me feel better." Haze got back up, but crashed into something hard as she turned around. "ouff. Ow." "oh! I'm sorry!" it was Alphonse. Did he follow her? "Alphonse-" "please call me Al. I mean, if you want to." "oh, okay Al. you can call me Haze." "Really?" "Yeah. I don't mind if you call me that." "um…I'm sorry, but I over heard your conversation with Hughes." Hazes' eyes widen a bit. She got up and brushed some dirt off her pants. "well, it was bound to get out." "you're not mad?" "no. but please don't tell anyone." "Uh, sure. If you don't mind me asking, what did you loose?" Haze sighed. "my arms." "but, they look completely normal." Haze looked around. "I'm going to show you a secret. But you got to promise not to tell anyone." Alphonse nodded. Haze rolled up her sleeve to shoulder length. She pulled her fake skin down, underneath was auto mail. "but, how is that possible?!" "it's a fake skin I created went I lost my arms." Haze put her fake skin back up, and her sleeve back down. "how did you loose your arms? Why is it a secret?" "those stories, are best saved for later. Now let's go back up to your brother. I have to make sure Mustang doesn't die."
They started to walk and talk together. "who's after him?" "oh, a serial killer who targets state alchemist." "what?!" "oh my god. You and Edward didn't know!? Is he safe?!" "no!" "come on Al! we have to talk to him!" they both started to run towards Mustangs office.
