GRAMMERS NOTE: no speel check :P

Teh Queen: Well, iza a second chapter, I know a screwed up, they were after Scar, and going to an Inshbalan refuge camp, not Ishbal itself, but I don't care XD.

Teh Slave: Is this boredom induced?

Teh Queen: You know it, although things are starting to get on a roll, I'm trying to put thought into this.

Teh Slave: You and thought don't work well together.

After many hours on the train, they arrived in Thine. Effie trotted off the train, being happy to be in the open air, Ed drowsily followed and Al was carrying both their suitcases.

"Why do I have to be the gentleman?" Al mumbled lifting the luggage up the station steps.

"Because I'm tired." Although he hadn't really been in a good mood since the colonel gave him this mission, he had to say getting to know Effie made him feel a little better, he found out she had been in the military for 4 years, and recognized Ed from when she was involved in the Barry the Chopper case.

"Isn't this a nice little town?" Effie said, very energetic for someone who had spent their day on a train and now had to find the military base.

"Kind of reminds you of home doesn't it brother?" Al wondered gazing over the green hills and sparsely placed houses.

"Maybe, but too bad it's not." Ed yawned as they walked towards what looked like a giant hall, but was in fact the small military base.

"Where are you guys from?" Effie asked, whipping around, he brown hair following her like a sheet of silk. Ed smiled to himself, he had only known her for a few hours, yet he already recognized this look as one she had when she asked a question she was genuinely interested in.

They seemed to walk slower as Ed and Al told her stories from when they were kids, and about Resembool, they were also surprised that she knew quite a few things about them too. Like about their attempts to bring their mother back to life.

"Oh come on, you can't blame a girl for wanting to know who she's going on a mission with, especially if she's from investigations and can get this sort of information." She smiled, turning to the lady at the front desk of the base.

Ed narrowed his eyes at the back of her head, and began to ask Al about her once she had gone out to ask some of the towns people what they knew of an uprising.

"I dunno, something seems strange Al, she doesn't seem interesting in much more than our past, like how she was wondering about mum on the train, and how she knows so much already." Ed asked, deciding he should actually take a look at the files Mustang gave him.

"I think you're being too suspicious of her, she's just another part of the military, I think she's very nice." Al replied. Ed just grunted and kept looking at the reasons for Central thinking something shifty was going on here. Only one particular suspicious material caught his eye.

"Al, look at this phone conversation. What do those 'code names' look like to you?" Ed handed Al a piece of paper with a brief conversation printed on it:
-START CALL 2230-

#1 : Any news on the kid?

#2 : Envy, you know not to use these lines, Lust should have old you that.

#1 : It's not like I could be bothered to come all the way over there small fry, that town is so puny.
#2 : Just hurry up and say what you want, and call me by my name next time
#1 : Fine, look, you have to hurry this up, we need the defiance to get what we want, and you are the only one who can do it, you got it? So use the kid as a medium and the town is ours.
#2 : I guess so, alright, I'll try and plan this out.
#1 : Counting on you Deceit.
-END CALL 2233-

"Strange." Was all Al felt he could say until being sure of what was on Ed's mind.
"What's even more curious are the names, Envy and Deceit. Who else other than the humunculous would have them and coincidentally be planning something like this?" Ed muttered, reading over the sheet again. "But what they would get from an uprising in a small town like this, I don't know. From the sound of the call, the one they call 'Deceit' is in the town, we'll have to ask Effie when she gets back if she's noted any strange behavior, other than her own." Ed started looking out the window, from their room they could see a lot of the small farm fields.

"But we know Envy is the one that can change form, and could be posing as someone from the town." Al pointed out.
"It's all bundled into suspicious, we both have to keep an eye out too, although our job is to merely prevent it. Couldn't be stuffed to care much more tonight, it's getting late, let's care in the morning." Ed proclaimed.
"Should we check is Effie is back yet?" Al said in consideration.
"She'll be fine, besides, the longer she's out, the more investigating she's getting done." And with that, there was no more talk until morning.
Fog set in as the early hours of the morning started. Had they been awake, Ed and Al would have seen a figure balanced on their window sill. The figure pulled a thin dagger from their black belt and slipped it between the windows, opening the latch and letting it fall open before climbing and and balancing with ease on Ed's bed head, looking down at him sleeping. The person placed a single finger on his forehead and waited a few seconds until Ed looked to be rousing and darted out the window, leaving it open just as Ed sprang awake, breathing heavily and rubbing his head.

Teh Queen: Well, if you want anything to make sense you'll have to keep reading neh?

Teh Slave: I highly suggest against it, I'm afraid I can't see this 'thought' you were talking about/

Teh Queen: Let's see what the reviews say. Please review! I Don't care what it says, just do it!
