What was that? Was it a dream? Ed lent over and looked out the window that must have fallen open and looked out over the town. He sighed and fell back to his pillow. He wasn't one to get such life like nightmares. He was just thankful the town wasn't being turned into plains of bloodshed.
Ed angrily closed the window, he was awake and agitated by that dream now, especially seeing as how once face kept popping up, of a young man that he didn't know. He silently got dressed, deciding a walk might clear his head, and he once again started to think about the strange phone call he had read.
"Hello?" Ed said softly as he he
came down the stairs, hearing a rustle and seeing the soft glow of a
lamp coming from the small library that branched off from the base of
the stairs.
Ed poked his head around the corner to see a person
slumped across one of the desks, atop a pile of papers under the
glow of the green lamp.
"Effie." Ed sighed walking over and
tapping the side of her head until she awoke.
"Oh god! Ed, don't
do that!" She hissed through clenched teeth.
"Working late?"
Ed asked, nodding to the papers she was sleeping on.
"Only
because I found some people who seemed to be out of the ordinary in
town, and I was looking up some background information on them."
Effie muttered thrusting a hand full of papers at Ed before making
herself comfortable once again on the desk.
Ed flicked through the
papers, there were three people, a woman by the name of 'Liza
Shefeled' who's photo was not on file, a man who to Ed, looked
familiar for some reason by the name of 'Tony Geralds' and the
third.
"Effie, isn't this you?" Ed wondered kicking Effie
awake again and reading her file.
"Well, I decided to see what
they had on while while I was here, after all, I was born here."
Effie mumbled, resting her chin in her hand.
This was news to Ed.
According to the file, she was born and raised there until she was 11
at which The family moved to central, no other information was given
except the date Effie became a part of the military.
"And these
other people, you met them while you were wandering town tonight?"
Ed said reading more on the two people.
"Yep, the woman was
heading towards the bushland to the north of town, covering her
tracks very carefully, and it's even stranger that there is not much
information on her since according to that file she was born here and
that man I was at a local pub sitting the corner looking at what
looked like detailed plans of the town, but he hastely rolled them up
once he saw me looking in his direction." Effie seemed to have
practiced this, either that or it was all just tumbling out of her
mouth in a daze.
"How did you get their names?"
"I
followed the woman from her house, and I went back and asked her
neighbors, nice people they were, and the man, I asked the barman
about, who told me, said he was a regular recently and he always sat
at that table and did 'work' so yes, they seemed like the most
suspicious of a casual lot." Effie pulled a bread stick from her
front pocket and started to much on it. Ed raised his eyebrows. "I
got it from the pub." She Muttered.
"I wasn't raising my
eyebrows at you, I was at this mans file, Tony Geralds, says he was
once a part of the military for a short time, only leaving recently.
But it doesn't say why he stopped service." Ed thought aloud.
"I
only know as much as you do."
Ed re-read both of the peoples files, but other than the fact Tony Geralds had served in the military, the only useful lead was the fact there was such little information on them, and it made them suspicious. Not to mention the fact of possible involvement of the homunculi regarding the phone conversation he and Al had read earlier.
"I don't think I can make much sense
of this until we track these people tomorrow." Ed said, stifling a
yawn and pulling up a chair to the desk, his tiredness catching up
with him again now the nightmare seemed so far away. "Were there
any specific names connected to these people? Any organizations?"
Ed mumbled, fiddling with the paper clips that held the files
together. He got no response. He looked next to him and smiled to see
Effie asleep again with half a bread stick hanging out her
mouth.
Trying to pursue some research himself, he checked some of
the police records to see if their names were mentioned at all for
minor or major crimes alike, and despite the fact he was tired now,
he ignored it, and it was no surprise when he found himself being
woken a few hours later by Al just after the sun had risen.
Waking
Effie proved to be a more testing task, but eventually she sat up,
pealing a sheet of paper off the side of her face and wasting no time
in pointing out that Ed had a copy of police file no#10048 printed on
his check.
"Well, it's your fault for making me stay up so
late."
