Dr Thomas watched his patient curiously. 'What caused the attack this time?' he thought. A man sat in the waiting room apparently had witnessed the attack. Dr Thomas walked over to him and half smiled.

"So… you seem to be the only true witness in this incident that I could talk to." He said.

Roy just shrugged and looked away.

"May I ask what happened?"

The colonel stayed quite for a while than sighed.

"He reacted to the name, 'Alphonse'."

The doctor nodded figuring so and sighed mimicking the colonels. Irritated he rose from his seat and looked over his clip board and the one to his last patient.

"Are you aware that a family member of this, Edward Elric, and the girl that was with him, Winry Rockbell, is right here in this hospital as well?"

Roy looked dumbfounded as if he was trying to process exactly what he had said.

"What?"

Doctor Thomas would not repeat his words and only stared at Roy coldly.

"I…" Roy stood up and quickly made his way towards the phone, than he paused.

"How do you know there related in some way?"

"She told me." He said turning the question back towards him.

Roy gritted his teeth not wanting that answer and quickly dialed headquarters to deliver the news, and not just from Edward's attack this time. Doctor Thomas watched patiently.

………

Winry was bored out of her min at the headquarters office. All she had for company was a speechless Alphonse and a troubled mind of how Edward was. Last she heard he was well and she was happy for him then. Leaning back she talked quietly to Alphonse although more to herself about how they would resolve this entire thing sooner or later.

Her conversation was cut short though as whom she thought was Riza, knocked on the door.

"Come in." she mumbled loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear.

Her prediction was right again. Riza was about the only one who had visited her the past few days since she was ordered to stay at the military hotel. Riza was also the only person she knew with another key to there door which she had given her. Riza smiled slightly obviously hiding something. Winry sat up from her leaned back position and watched her closely.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing." She said simply.

"I don't think so."

"Your right..." she sighed. "There's well….. Some events have happened lately."

"Like what?"

"Medical."

Riza was being to brief with her answers and her mood and voice did not match making her all the more nervous.

"Please just tell me alright?"

Riza nodded. "Alright, are you sure?"

Winry nodded. "Yes"

"Edward had another attack..."

Winry gasped at this her heart sinking as nervousness swept over her.

"And…your… your grandmother is in the hospital, has been in that hospital as well. She's dying." Riza voice was hoarse as she spoke these words.

As if Winry's heart could sink anymore she fell foreword from her upright sitting position and landed on her knees on the ground sobbing uncontrollably. Riza ran over to her and tried to comfort her in anyway she could. She looked up at the motionless Alphonse and could almost sense a hurt soul. A very hurt soul inside, but just as it appeared, it disappeared too and she was left to comfort Winry.
