Pub/Inn
Ed looked through the small window in his room. The only thing he could see out of it though was the back alley. There was a building across from the back, not to close and not to far. Black steel, which belonged to the flight of stairs that lead down to the alley, blocked part of the window.
He put his attention towards the blond. It seemed she was...shivering. He sighed and took the sheets he was using from his bed and moved to the couch, where the Rockbell slept. He slowly put the sheets over her body. Ed smiled slightly, still astonished by her beauty. What am I thinking?! I have to stop this! He walked back over to his bed and sat up, waiting for the girl to wake up, but he spoke to soon. She opened her eyes slowly. " Where am I?" She said in a dazed tone. He looked around but didn't answer. She sat up on the couch and repeated, " Where am I?"
" Um, don't worry about it. You'll be out soon, hopefully." It seemed the girl was to tired or still feeling weird from the chloroform to question anything. " Ok... I'm Winry by the way. Who are you?" He moved his eyes side to side, wondering if he should tell her or not, but figured she wouldn't remember later. " Edward Elric." Winry stood up from the couch and took a seat next to him, examining his face closely. He started to turn a nice shade of red. She shook her head suddenly before saying, " Hey, you're bleeding."
" Huh?" He put his hand on his face and looked at it, " Oh, guess you're right. I'll take care of it later."
" Don't worry, I ca-- Wait a minute," She looked around swiftly, " Aren't you the kidnapper?!"
" No, no, c'mon, keep quiet!" Just then the door opened quickly, revealing Al. Ed stood up. " What's wrong?"
" I just got off the phone with one of the Rockbells'."
" And?"
" She's not taking her back!"
" What! What do you mean, ' she's not taking her back?!'"
" Yeah, she said their not going to pay and we have to keep her! She's on the phone now, you talk her out of this nonsense!"
Ed ran downstairs and grabbed the phone. " Listen! You're going to pay the money and you're taking her back! There's absolutly no way we're keeping her!"
An elderly voice replied to him, " Sorry, no deposit, no return."
" He--" Ed was cut off by the sound of the beeping on the other line. " Damn."
Rockbell Estate
" What are you doing mom?! Who knows what they might do to our daughter!" Shouted Winry's troubled father. The elder, Pinako, moved her hand in front of his face. " Wait, the guards saw the two kidnappers the other day. They said that they looked harmless. One of the guards went unconscious, but only because of one punch. It seems to me their strong, but not enough to harm anyone seriously."
" Still, don't you think you should of asked us before you went on telling them to keep Winry?!" Yelled the worried mother.

Ed walked through his door and slammed it behind him. He walked straight up to Winry and looked her in the eyes. " What the hell is wrong with your family?!"
" I don't know. I'm pretty sure they would've helped me out."
" You sure seem calm," Al said confused. " Well, you see, my parents are buisness owners. It was rare they were actually home yesterday. I've actually been wanting to, sort of, run away."
" Run away? Why?" Ed asked.
" Didn't I just tell you? They're never home."
" Oh yeah, sorry." Al slapped his forehead. " Anyways, yeah, of course, I was scared to death when I saw you," she said pointing to Ed, " when you told me to be quiet or I was dead." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Al walked over to it and opened it slightly. " Hello?"
" Well, Alphonse, long time no see." Said a voice sarcasticly.
" Greed."
Fullmetal59: I knew I wouldn't be able to make kind of long chapters as I did the last one. Oh well, as long as it was good right? Don't be too disappointed, I'm going to have something better to say come next chapter. PLEASE R&R!
