3 Gave the Punishment

"Pay up chief, you and Hawkeye never went on a real date." Breda pointed to Havoc's usual depression corner, smirking.

Roy smirked back in response. "I'll have you know that in fact, we did have a date."

Havoc whistled. "Someone's a liar."

"Shut up, Havoc, go sulk in your corner, I'm dating Melissa today."

Immediately, Havoc went to his depression corner, sulking and drawing dark lines on the wall. "I thought she was just playing hard to get…." he whined in depression.

"Then we'll ask Hawkeye herself," Breda challenged.

"She'd never admit it on her life," Roy retorted.

And as if on cue, Hawkeye walked into the room.

"Lieutenant! Did you and Mustang go on a date?" Breda asked her before Roy could do anything to intercept.

Riza stopped walking. She looked at Breda and put her finger to her lip in thought. "I wouldn't really call it a date." Breda raised his eyebrows smugly as Roy looked away and blushed. "But we did kiss each other…" She trailed off. Roy's eyes glimmered as Breda fell down looking defeated. The other men in the office began giggling and whispering amongst each other. "And as for a tie breaker," she continued. "You two were stupid to bet a date. Go do your paperwork before I make you." Riza glared at everyone. They all began furiously working.

Roy smirked as he lazily signed a paper. "You're just too good at this, Hawkeye," he chuckled.

"Get back to work, sir." Her cold glare was enough to get him to work faster.

"WHAT? THEY'VE DISAPPEARED? Wait… who are you?" Winry Rockbell, the childhood friend of Edward and Alphonse Elric stood right next to the phone; its cord was twirled around her fingers. But due to the shock, the cord almost got unplugged.

She had just been in the middle of eating lunch when she got the call. Winry picked up the phone, hopeful that it was Ed wishing her a Merry Christmas. But actually, it was quite the opposite. It was a phone call telling her about the disappearance of Ed and Al.

"…Colonel Mustang? You're voice sounds a bit high pitched than the last time I heard your voice. Are you ok?" Winry asked.

"Yeah… uh… I've been kind of sick lately. Haha, you know how it is. Snow and all. The flame alchemist and getting wet and useless… hahaha!"

"Uh, right. Thanks for telling me that…"

"You should come down to Central. I know a great place to talk…" His voice had become serious now.

"Where?"

There was a shove and a few complaints in the background. Then, Winry was given the location. "Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas. I'm sure Ed and Al would have wanted to say that to you."

Winry's eyes opened wide. They began to get teary as she smiled. "Yeah, you too."

She wiped the tears away. It was about time.

x.x.x.x.

General Grumman, was a man of harem, ever for his old age. There was even a certain couple he was determined to get together. Seeing that it was 3 days until Christmas day, he was even more determined to at least get them to go on a date. So of course, he would do all he could in his power to make that happen. Even… if he would be hated for it.

He placed the king right next to the queen with multiple pawns all over the chess board. The white ones were mostly fallen. Grumman clapped his hands together and chuckled.

"Sir," a younger soldier started. "Are you talking to yourself again?"

"What? Of course not! Bring Mustang over here for me. I have a chess game I'd like to play."

"Yes sir."

Grumman reorganized the chess board again.

x.x.x.x.

"So…" Roy moved his knight. "What is this for."

"As you know…" Grumman moved his pawn. "It is December 22nd, 3 days until Christmas."

"Yeah?" Roy attacked his pawn.

"Are you going to do anything about Ed and Al?" He moved another pawn.

"I've been doing all that I can but the killer isn't leaving any hints."

"I see… Tragic how it's so hard for you. But I recommend looking through the cases again. You might find something."

Roy narrowed his eyes as he moved another chess piece. "You know something don't you."

Grumman moved his queen and smirked. "I believe this is a check mate."

"Damn," Roy grunted. "You're good."
