Chapter 3

Were the problem started

11:30 am

Headquarters garden

''Rose'' his voice seemed calm but concerned. ''You know I'm working and this is not right.''

The woman's face wrinkled. ''I know but I just wanted to now if you were doing ok.''

He reached the woman's white beautiful hand and held it in his. ''You see me I'm ok so please go now.''

Rose took advantage of the situation and rushed on to his arms. She just wanted to feel him again and while making circles in his chest she pouted, ''please give me just one kiss Roy and I'll leave in a second.''

The colonel didn't reject the hug the woman gave him, but could not afford to get fired because of a caprice. ''I can't'' he finally got to say.

''Then I'll have to.'' The woman approached her mouth to his and just before doing it she felt him turn drastically, somebody came. ''Idiot'' she murmured.

''What is it now Lieutenant?''

''Colonel, a state alchemist is being attacked by a woman when coming here to central and her lieutenant seems to be working in the west so she is completely alone. She let the driver escape and inform central of this''



''And?'' asked Roy not getting what this had to do with him yet.

''Well it seems you and Riza had to go but she went alone with Major Armstrong and the Elric's.''

Rose smiled. Finally his beloved Riza had done something wrong.

12: 00 pm

Somewhere in central

'' At this pace it will be impossible for us to get there,'' criticized Edward while looking out of the window of the car impatiently. ''Can we continue from here on Lieutenant?''

''After all it's just a few blocks away.'' affirmed Alphonse. ''I'll go with them too'' finally talked Armstrong.

''No I'll take you there. We were the ones who were called so you can not butt in as if nothing was happening'' Riza looked up ahead, there was only one choice.

Suddenly the wheels shrieked with a strange noise and the car started moving at full speed through the pavement. The steering wheel went all the way to the right and Riza was found excusing herself to every person along the way. She had to do this unless she wanted to find a dead corpse lying in lust's hands.

''Wait a second Lieutenant,'' talked Edward.

''What are you doing?'' Alphonse stammered. ''Stop…Stop it''

She turned her head to them, now leaving the work to the busy hands in the steering wheel and the foot on the accelerator. ''What does it look like?''

Armstrong's eyes widened, something was ahead. ''Push the brakes Riza!!''

''Uh, what?''

11:00 am

Dead end Street

''So what are you going to do now?'' a mischievous grin appeared in her face and her hair was pulled out of the way. ''It's been the tenth time you have sunk down that sword of yours in my body and I keep living. It's boring you know?'' The black dress was stained with a deep red color in the center of her stomach.

'If I could escape. Damn why did I have to run into you without being prepared?'

The woman walked slowly, carrying with her a certain look of supremacy and extreme sensuality. She couldn't dodge half of the attacks the woman made and starting with the crazy idea that her fingers could actually go through her body at an incredible distance hitting her in various parts and making her hands all bloody from the wounds, she knew she hadn't tasted dirt until now she literary was doing so. 

Exhausted, every muscle was tired of moving from here to there and dogging attacks every two seconds that eventually came back worse. She prayed for this to end quickly

Could she give up? I didn't make sense. Could she resist? She doubted. Gosh my hands are shaky

''You're thinking too much!'' said Lust while laughing hysterically. ''And making my work harder.''

''Forget that fucking idea! No way could I surrender happily to the likes of you!'' her breathing was getting worse. 'When the hell did my lungs give up on me?'

''Easier said than done, you can't even breath'' her eyes were filled with disdain.

And her body got closer. The footsteps were silently heard in every inch of the alchemists body. Her sword was broken with her fingers in a two second shot, like everything she had done. Her evil smile was the shadow of her worst nightmare.

'I'll try to keep dogging the attacks and eventually someone must come to help me.'

'It's a must be.'

12:30 am

In some bloody traffic

'Shit, it's all my fucking fault once more!' – His fingers passed through his head in sign of despair 'Don't you dare die on me, Hawkeye.'

The line of cars at this hour on central was incredibly long and his patience was incredibly short, two things that couldn't match well, even if there was still time to arrive at the destination. Sure he was even more upset now while thinking she was obviously not going to call him after what happened. On some things she surely lacked confidence and on some things he surely lacked composure. Now making just one move, backed by a fight they had had, set the perfect cause for a disastrous consequence. Why after all this years he could not come to understand that the relationship he wanted to develop between them was no more than an unreachable dream? Crazy. Just too perfect for a horrible guy like him. He could never make amends on what he so carelessly had broken, now distance was the only amend he could make.

- ''Distance once and for all'' he sighted. A deep whisper of resignation was now heard.

12:00 am

Near dead end



''Are you okay?''

Realizing now by herself, she went back to her initial position and knew they had finally arrived but not precisely the way she had planned it. In front of them there was a large pole that had the lovely job to turn her car into a greater piece of junk than it was before. All the reparations she had to take from her salary to receive this? Absolutely by all means this was not her day!

''everything is fine'' gosh she really knew how to contradict herself.

''are you sure?'' said Edward popping out of the back seat and pointing at her leg.

There was another of her misfortunes. At least she was not that upset by the loss of her car, but her leg was also involved in the problem now. Because the crash was at such speed it struck the front part and the driver's seat. Now her leg was all covered in blood and the body was finally after a minute, aware of the problem it meant.

'' aw'' one kind of metal had pierced her left thigh, not to shallow but not to deep. It was at the perfect place were she could still close her teeth with force and restrain the pain a little.

''let's take her to a hospital now.'' said Armstrong with concern, the others just approved silently.

''no.''

''R-Riza'' repeated Alphonse.

''I-I said I was ok so please go ahead I'll wait here''

''that won't do Hawkeye,'' Edward talked slowly '' I'm not going anywhere until we get you treated.''

'' I'm in'' affirmed Alphonse.

'' I also ag-'' Armstrong was cut by Riza's faint voice

''why are you deciding without me?'' her anxiousness rose up when she thought once more of lust carrying the alchemist's body on her hands. ''I promise that if you go out there and find her I'll go to the hospital by myself,'' she had no other way to deceive them. ''but please hurry''

'Sorry guys'

'' I'm not convinced that you'll do that'' clarified Edward

''watch me.''

Building in Dead End Street

12:15 am

''Look at what we have here gluttony'' talked the guy while standing on the rooftop of the building. ''the Elric's and Armstrong believe they can come up like saviors of the day.''

Gluttony stuck his head out of the piece of broken window to throw it away and turned to see at the direction the eyes of the man were looking. '' can I eat that?'' his eyes glowed with delight.

''Of course you can! leave no bone behind as lust said''



''hey!'' shouted the man warning the Elric's and Armstrong of their presence by waving his hands in the air with enthusiasm. ''Long time no see, Shorty!''

''Shit!! I'm not gonna let you live for that!'' replied Edward by joining his hands and showing the great metal knife that went out of his auto mail.

''wait brother!'' shouted Alphonse as he saw Edward running towards Envy.

'' too late.'' talked a voice from behind.

Dead End Street

12:30 am

She had finally made a dirty move to someone ever since she was young and it was indeed one of her best qualities, though she never used it. The conviction she arose from a lie had gave her the strength to continue on and to her disgust, she knew she was a lot better like this.

Of course she acknowledged the idea of going to the hospital and staying there for a time but the only reason she had to doubt was the idea of being a burden. So, the pain in her left leg had stopped due to a painkiller in her car used only for emergencies. To protect the wound form infecting, one piece of cloth had served very well as a bandage. She could at least move a bit and the blood had ceased to come out.

Leaning in the wall, she hid from any possible attack and a metal bar was held on her hands for defense. She had left her gun on the head quarter's desk, so anything that could inflict damage on a person was in her hands. It seemed that on her rage outburst, she had forgotten even her mind and now that she was about to fight, she regretted showing her true self.

To her surprise, her thoughts were interrupted by some footsteps. Riza could not quickly decipher who was the one who breathed heavily or neither the one who laughed out loud, but her mind turned the switch on.

'It was time'

Dead End Street

12:30 am

No more could she resist. ''Weren't you the one who told me you could not die by the likes of me?''

''Shit. Even now I won't'' her deep blue eyes had been getting narrower due to her exhaustion. ''I won't.''

Lust laughed with happiness while moving one of her fingers directly to her shoulders and digging with pleasure when the alchemist had fallen to her knees. Oh so much pain, so much cruel beauty! Her tongue went out slowly licking the drops of blood that resided in her fingers. ''Wanna say something before you die?''



The silence the same atmosphere was entrusted to produce, was shattered into pieces when someone entered the stage. Her eyes couldn't detail the figure very well but it was struggling to take the woman who intended to kill her seconds ago. Unfortunately, she too was injured.

Her hands had a metal bar that struck directly and without hesitation in the woman's stomach as she had done millions of times before.

''Lust'' was the only word the strange woman said while attacking.

Lust immediately spurred out in blood and after gaining consciousness again, her fingers went also to the mysterious woman's stomach.

Dead End Street

12:30 am

I took the metal bar now incrusted in Lust's body and when I knew her hand should struck in my body as a scapegoat, my hands pressed hard on the metal bar and lifted it high in the air, with her still struggling. The bar was long enough to rise in high air and seconds after that, make it fall in the ground with one hit. Lust was smashed in the ground and blood splashed over my clothes. Her fingers quickly came out of my stomach and I coughed blood too, she had injured me badly.

I was used to carry a lot of weigh in my military training and even though I couldn't use the amount of force I would normally use in healthy conditions, her head hit so hard on the floor she wasn't able to stand up in less than two minutes.

'' Are you ok?'' I weakly said to the alchemist before me while walking out of the shadows.

''I'm ok'' was the only thing she said in shock.

''Let's go to the hospital, you seem quite serious.''

''it's nothing just some minor bruises here and there'' We both laughed. My arms surrounded her waist and she placed one of her arms over my shoulders. ''It will take a while from here but hang in there please''

The two women had not even walked ten steps when those deadly fingers were back again, now in Hawkeye's neck pressing hardly and leaving her without air. '' You think of running,'' she coughed, ''sorry to disappoint you.''

Riza looked through the corner of her eye and while trying to concentrate with the loss of air, she saw a man coming ''Be…careful'' where the only words she got to pronunciate while pushing with her arms, the alchemist's body to the floor.

Almost instantly, Red flames covered the street and Riza had fallen on top of the other woman trying to protect her at all cost from getting burnt. The guy knew there were other people inside 

the street so he didn't make his flames too deadly but had burnt the enemies' body to crisps due to the direct contact.

'' what the hell is that?'' asked the alchemist in awe.

'' It's colonel Roy mustang'' she answered with a bit of shame.

The alchemist's head turned around to watch her savior and she seemed to like what she saw rising from the shadows. ''he's hot.'' Riza knew that was the only commentary the alchemist could make in her mind by her looks. The lieutenant looked too and their eyes met. He was telling her to get out.

'Once more, why does he have such a perfect timing?'

''You think I could die like that Roy?'' said Lust recovering from the flames and walking out form the remaining smoke.

''come on we don't have time for that.'' Riza stood up with anxiousness and pulled the woman's hand. ''yeah'' she responded after a second.

''Can you run?''

'' why? Can't we help him?'' she questioned happily.

'' No we can't. He needs to do his job without us.'' Riza started running and pulling her companion's arm.

After running for ten minutes in search of an exit, the women took a little pause. Now the painkiller was loosing effect and breathing itself was harsh. ''by the way what's your name?'' asked the alchemist.

'' R-Riza Hawk…eye''

'' Hawkeye?'' her eyes seemed curious.

''Yes, is something wrong?"

''It's nothing" she answered by changing the topic. "Mine is Emma Thompson, nice to meet you too.''

Riza smiled and started feeling dizzy. Bad signal, if they didn't get to the hospital on time she could simply faint dead.

''Are we there yet?'' Emma also needed treatment.

'' I think so,'' answered Hawkeye while leaning before a wall and telling her in almost a whisper, '' there's the front door. Call some nurses while I wait here.''

She nodded and disappeared through the alley. Good, she could now rest in peace without any worries. She had rescued the alchemist and Roy had come to her aid, even though he could want to kill her by now. A bitter smile was now placed on her lips. Emma seemed to be a good 

person, really familiar by some strange circumstance to her mother, same blond crisp hair, blue eyes and astonishing beautiful body. She sighted, why was her mother now on her thoughts?

Her body now started to take vengeance.

The stomach hurt more than ever.

She was now on her knees, coughing blood and opening a larger gap in her injury. Her hands trembled and her sweat made her realize she could not resist. A ''help'' escaped her mouth and her eyes blurred and went blank.

Riza's body now lied in the street, unconscious and pale.

How am I doing? Please review
