XVII: Roy – Part I
It hung on the wall next to the filing cabinet. One day to a page. One number to a sheet.
Colonel Roy Mustang stood in the doorway to the office with a smile on his face. An anonymous phone call that had really not been as anonymous as the caller had probably wished for, had brought him here very early in the morning.
He leant against the door frame and watched in silence as a small red coated, blond haired alchemist literally tore his filing cabinet apart. Every drawer was pulled out and every file removed.
Edward flicked through every folder, scanning rapidly before putting them back. They had to be here he thought wildly. And when he found them he was going to have words with his brother.
He had ransacked their dorm before Al told him that he had put all of Ed's papers in a file because 'I thought it was all related to that last mission, Brother."
He heard a soft cough. He turned around. The Colonel stood there.
"Looking for something, Fullmetal?" he drawled.
"Just a report." Ed replied cautiously.
"Oh, I thought it might have been these." And Roy held up two calendar pages.
