"Edward Elric? … Edward?"

A voice echoed in his head calling his name. It seemed distant yet firm and commanding. He cracked his eyes open to see a face he knew and groaned in annoyance.

"Edward…?"

Ed nodded faintly in reply as he regained consciousness. It took him a while to realize where he was. When he finally did, he blinked looking around eagerly. For some reason he felt a great amount of relief and dread at the same time.

Doctor Thomas made an attempt to smile, but as Edward saw his face, he knew that there was no glad and fortunate news to come. Edward was now wide awake as he glanced once again to his arm and sighed seeing that it was in a double cast in its sling. He looked around to see that he was in an empty waiting room, it made him wonder the time.

Doctor Thomas's face suddenly grew solemn and he looked down. His voice shook as he spoke and the words burned like acid in Edward's heart.

"Sh-She di-didn't make it." He choked and sighed realizing how close he was to his patients. He regained his composure only to see the terror evident in Edward's eyes.

"I'm sorry." He added after a while.

Edward remained frozen as if time would keep him that way. That was the second time that Doctor Thomas had to deliver the news to death to this young man. Thomas hoped that he would not have to report anymore deaths to this boy. He watched as many expressions and feelings ran through Edward's face and eyes. Shock, horror and sorrow where some o the feelings among many others. He found that a decent time to excuse himself and did so although Edward did not respond.

He had a feeling that that would be the last time he would see this boy alive and well again. In a few months time, Doctor Thomas would know this very well. As he walked away it seemed that time had repeated itself again. He heard the screaming anguished sobs that escaped Edward, but this time it was much more sorrowful and stronger. He hoped he would be alright as he contacted the colonel at HQ to have somebody pick the boy up. He wished that the boy would not resort to any thoughts Doctor Thomas could see himself doing in that situation and he hoped him a healthy future. Doctor Thomas walked to his office to get ready to go home, leaving the sobbing Edward behind without a word.

::Two Months Later::

Roy Mustang sat in his office plainly annoyed. The recent deaths had caused him even more paper work than his usual amount, and the hospital bills that filled his desk did not help either. He was not pleased; not in the least. Paying for the funerals was also no big thrill, especially when there was so little money in the free spending budget to spend. He sighed leaning against the back of his chair and enjoying the silent atmosphere for once.

Ever since Edward had come back from his recent episode from the hospital, things had been quite rough and noisy. It was now finally quiet and Roy began to wonder if it was too quiet. The phone rang annoyingly. He glared at the device wishing to just shut up, but he knew if it was from Riza he should not ignore it. He had recently learned the hard way what declining calls could do to you and he shivered at the thought. He picked up the phone holding it to his ear.

"Hello?" he asked annoyance threatening the person on the other line.

"Sir?! Sir?!?!" The voice on the other line was a lower officer, but he sounded panicked.

"What is it?" Roy asked listening to the background noises on the other line. He was listening for gunshots, but heard none although he did hear quite a commotion and a crowd screaming. He wondered if there was a fight of some sort.

"Sir!! It's F-Fullmetal Sir!!"

Roy caught the name and listened intently.

"He's standing over the edge of the bridge!! I think he's going to Jum-"

Than the officer cut off as screams of terror drowned out the officer's voice on the other line of the phone. Roy stood at his desk holding the phone from his ear and starring at it in shock. He stood up quickly knocking his chair back and dropping the receiver to the floor. Papers spread and fluttered around like birds as he grabbed his coat and ran from the room.

Riza watched the man run from his office as she approached the door way. She was surprised at the strewn panic embedded on his face.

"Mustang?! Sir, what's wrong?!" she yelled after him, but he did not reply. Frowning Riza decided to see if anything in Roy's office would tell her of his motives. She walked in and sighed at seeing the mess of papers spread around. She began to pick the papers up when she noticed the receiver of the phone on the floor and someone's voice echoing through it. Knowing it was not her decision to make orders, she thought it was no harm to tell the person on the other line that the colonel was not present at the moment.

"Hello?" Riza answered the phone cautiously.

"We have just received the report that Fullmetal has jumped- … he has jumped off the edge-… of the bridge…" The line broke up as Riza listened.

It took her a moment to realize what the man on the other line had said. She dropped the phone in shock. She could not believe it as it dawned on her. Fullmetal Edward Elric was dead.
