Many murders took place that day. Each one, a loud scream was heard. Each one, ended with a bloody mess and barely a trace left of the victim. Each other, the victim's blood was used to write the names of soldiers and others. Each one left Roy and his crew in a confusion and fear of who was going to be killed next and where.

"Can you tell who this one is?" Roy asked Breda.

"It's hard to tell. The killer's really messing up these people's bodies. It's messed up. I feel bad for these guys," Breda replied, sighing.

"It says Von Hoenheim this time," Riza said, eying the wall. "Isn't that Edward and Alphonse's father?" she looked down.

"Naw, the victim can't be him. Even in this mess I can tell. I've seen pictures of the dad. This ain't him," Havoc said.

Riza narrowed her eyes at him.

Havoc shrugged and grinned cheekily. "You can't judge a man by snooping."

"Yeah you can," Fuery retorted. "It's why you're infamous with the ladies."

"Look who's talking Fuery! At least I get girls!" Havoc shouted, sulking again.

Fuery smugly patted his head. "Then explain my date yesterday."

"You cruel-hearted people…" Havoc whined. He whining stopped as a shrill scream was heard. It was loud so the killer was near.

They ran across the block and to the next street. Out of the corner of Roy's eye, there was a glinted shadow and a flash of blond hair. He narrowed his eyes and began running after the blond.

"Get back here!" he shouted.

Roy snapped his fingers and a big firey explosion… exploded in front of him. When the dust and debris cleared away, any trace left of the blond was gone.

"Damn it all!"

Riza raised her eyebrows at him and then narrowed her eyes as she thought about the blond person who ran by, the scream, and the writing in blood. She rolled her eyes at him now. Men, what would they do without their women?(im sorry… but that sentence is REALLY funny)

"What's the death toll so far?" Riza asked.

"Four," Havoc replied.

"And how many people have disappeared since the beginning of this all?"

"Hmm… Well, Sergeant Brosh disappeared from the hospital this morning. Counting him there's Ed… Al… Ross… Brosh… That's another four people."

Riza narrowed her eyes with suspicion. That's what I thought, she thought to herself.

"So, does that mean all the people who disappeared… are these bloody messes… them?" Fuery asked in shock.

Roy's pupils shrank. "N-No way. Damn it! The murderer said he wouldn't kill Ed and Al until Christmas!"

"They can always lie… Can't they?" Fuery whimpered.

Riza watched the scene in front of her. The information, little as they were, was now putting themselves together like pieces from a puzzle. What they were facing…

"Hawkeye!" Roy called to her. "You coming?"

Riza blinked surprised. She saw that they were leaving. Nodding, she quickly walked next to Roy.

"What's on your mind?" he asked her quietly.

"It's nothing, sir," she replied, cautiously picking out her words.

Roy looked down at her worriedly. A few inches taller than her, he felt responsible for her. Though, of course, Riza could obviously take care of herself. She had proved herself capable through and through.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive, sir."

He sighed and gave up. Judging by her looks, he had a feeling that she knew something that she wasn't telling him. Something very crucial to this case.

x.x.x.x.

Roy, like every other night, walked Riza home. It was a quiet time and they both enjoyed it. Yes, even Riza, who grudgingly probably would not admit it.

"Goodnight, Hawkeye," Roy said, nodding.

Riza nodded back. "Goodnight, sir."

"Oh, and by the way…" His vision focused on her as he gave her a serious look. "I'm on to you."

She gave him a quizzical look. "What do you mean?"

"From earlier. You know what I mean."

Riza studied him from a moment then sighed. "Sir, this is usual childs play. I do hope you'll understand."

Without another word, she shut the door.

December 20. 5 days left.
