1st note Headquarter

"It's been a while, Military Central HQ"

The golden eye teen looked up the majestic building, finishing the sentence with a sadistic tone.

The central is as busy as ever, it seems that she has recovered from the damage cause by the attack a year ago. Edward signed at the thought. It's been a year, the memories of the other world still vivid in his mind. He shook his head, "I shouldn't be thinking something like this now. I've matter to solve." He spun around, and saw something not that pleasant.

A rundown building, neglected by the passerby, stood near the Military Central HQ. It's the same building that collapsed onto a girl that Al desperately wanted to salvage. Ed felt a pang of guilty when his eyes traveled pass the broken doll. "It's still there, huh?" without looking back, he walked, head high, towards the central HQ. No one noticed, not even Ed, a blue light wrapped around the doll and the doll was fixed.

In HQ

"Oh no…" Ed scratched his head, "I've forgotten to ask that bastard where his office is….. If I'm not mistaken, his position in the military should be higher now….. So where's it." Ed walked down the straight corridor, wondering where's everybody and when he turned around the corner, reached out his hand to turn the door knob of Mustang's ex- office……….

PAAAANNNNGGGGG!!

"Where's everybody?! JANNNEEETTT!! What the heck is this?! Do it again, no…..w ?"

A messy brown hair officer that strongly reminds Ed as bronze wires stared at Ed while Ed stared back at him with wide eyes and a significant cross in his head. Ed rubbed his throbbing nose and opened his mouth to enquire.

"Who the hell are you, kid! Kids are forbidden to enter this superb-high-security area! Go back to where you came from, kid! Don't disrupt our important and packed schedule!"

Now, Ed not only stared at him with wide eyes, but also with a wide mouth. The red cross had increase to four. ( Ye: better be careful, bronze-wires…… Bronze-wires: I'm not bronze wires!!)

"Why are you still standing here, eh? Listen here kid, I don't know why you'd got here, and how you'd got here, go back to your poor and uneducated slum of yours!!"

Ed's really angry now….. the red cross on his forehead had increase it's number to it's maximum. The eruption of the volcano is going to happened within seconds.

However, when Ed open his mouth again to shot back some retorts, a voice drifted into his ears.

"Sir, the Further summoned your presence, sir."

"Janet, glad to see that you're here. (although he does not show that he's glad…)Do this report again. Now!"

"Yes., sir."

"And to avoid this kid to make a fool in the HQ, throw him out into the street."

"Eh?"

The bronze-wires officer seems that he did not hear his assistant, he kept on mumbling about, "why did he wanted to see me? ………. Have I done something wrong?...…. Maybe it's a promotion! …..!..!" ect. ect.

While the assistant, Janet continued to capture his boss attention, Ed glanced around.

The people around started to poke their heads out of the doors. "They seems to be very afraid of the bronze-wires. Hmm….. maybe I try to ask one of them what's so big about him."

Then, he spotted an officer who spotted him spotting at him, tried hard to stuck his head back behind the door.

He moved towards him and asked, "Why are you so frighten of him?"

"He's a loud bull, isn't he? He's voice can be heard everywhere, even you're in the basement."

"So, you're scared that when he handpicked any of you and have a good talk…"

"Our faults will be world renown."

Poor fellows, Ed thought, with a big drop of sweat hanging on his forehead. Suddenly, a light bulb appeared in the background. He'd totally forgotten his problems.

"Uhm…. ….. Do you know where Mustang's office is?"

The bronze-wires cut in suddenly

"Who do you think you are, huh? Walking carefreely into headquarters and asking where Further Mustang office is. You're so rude! You did not even solute me!! You commoner!" This "rather high position" military officer yelled at Ed. It seems that he's back to earth.

"Huh??... fine. I don't want to look at his face either. Do you mind to move aside?"

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, EH?! IF YOU WANT TO ESCAPE FROM ME, FIND A BETTER REASON. YOU pipsqueak !!"

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING A PIPSQUEAK!! I'd already grew tall…..(mumble…mumble…and a lot of mumbling…..)" Ed shot back without hesitation.

"Erm….. sir…" Janet effort seems had gone to drain……

"Hey, kid. You didn't have the authority to enter our noble Further office. You better stay away from here or else I'll arrest you." The officer warned sternly.

"Alright, alright. I'm going. Don't yell at my face. You're the one who'll responsible for the disastrous burning human ( by Mustang ) with multiple bullets hole shooting through ( by Hawkeye ) later. Hihihihi……." Ed sniggered darkly.

"What are you talking 'bout? Oh, never mind. GET OUT NOW!!"

"What's going on here?" A monotonous voice vibrated into the ears around the speaker. The ones heard it solute almost out of reflex action, not to mention perspiring profusely.

"What're you doing here Edward, you should be in Further Mustang office by now. Further is waiting for you."

" Hahahahaha. I think there's no need in meeting him already. According to this high position officer, he pointed out that a kid like me has no authority to see that useless bastard. Haha, see you soon Hawkeye." After hearing this, the bronze-wires officer is near to tears.

"Is that so, Second Lieutenant Kyle?"

"Oh, no. no... Colonel Hawkeye. I thought he's only a kid strolling in the headquarters. I don't know he's Colonel Hawkeye's and Further's friend. I'm sorry."

"He's not a kid, he's part of the military. Please, Ed, can you introduce yourself to them, they're your juniors, according to ranking." Hawkeye continue in her monotonous voice.

Ed's face turns dark for a second, he suddenly shot up his head, " Hawkeye, aren't you bringing me to report to Mustang?"

"Yes, come with me please."

Ed nodded stiffly and followed Colonel Hawkeye to the top floor.
