A/N: Hey, guys, sorry it's been a while. No motivation, working all the time, you know, same old excuses. Anyways, I don't own anything.
Also, forget this for the last chapter, but I don't own FMA. Only my OC. Enjoy!
Chapter Three
Roy led us to the basement of central, where the prison was. He stopped at a door, and said, "This is her room. Go on in, she's restrained, so she can't hurt you." He paused for a moment. "You are a detective, so I'll let you start out, but if I think she's getting out of control, I'm going in there."
"Yeah, yeah," I said. I put my hand on the doorknob, pausing only a second before pushing the door open and entering.
Tanya sat in a chair with her head resting on her handcuffed hands.
She was at a table, and I sat down in front of her, and said, "Tanya."
She looked at me briefly before returning her gaze to the wall behind me.
She seams to broken to be ready to break out, I thought.
"Tanya," I said again. She looked at me, and I continued quickly. "Who do you work for? What's her name?"
A small smile momentarily crossed her lips, and though it was quick, it was still noticeable to me. "I don't know who you're talking about."
"I think you do," I said. "She has brown eyes, and auburn hair. Who is she?"
This time, Tanya trained a cold stare at me. "I really don't know what you're talking about."
I met her gaze for a moment, before turning and opening the door. She spoke before the door could close, "But what I can tell you is: everything is about to change." I turned my head to see her old, malicious smirk, and her old fire in her eyes.
I closed the door, and looked at Roy. "I want her under maximum security. And I want to be the head of the security."
"It doesn't work that way, Tea," Roy aid.
"Make it work," I said. "Brigadier General."
Roy sighed. "Fine, I'll what I can do." He turned to Riza. "Hawkeye, take them to the hotel nearby, tell them to put everything on my tab."
"Yes, sir!" Riza said. "Come on, you four, let's get going."
She and her team led us out of the prison, through HQ and back to the streets. She led us through a maze of streets, but I was very careful to pay attention to where we were going.
We finally entered a hotel, and Riza spoke to the receptionist quickly.
"Alright," she said, coming back. "The girls are in one room and the boys in another. Here are your keys." She handed one to each of us. "For now, we won't have any guards with you because we don't want to raise suspicion. But if things start getting really bad, there will be guards to keep an eye out for you. The girls are in room 201 and the boys in room 202, you're on the second floor. Roy will come over when he figures things out. We have to get back to HQ now, but if you need anything, here's the number to reach directly to Roy." She handed me and Ed a sheet of paper. "Try not to abuse it." With that said, she left.
The group started to go upstairs, but I stay put.
"You coming, Tea?" Ed asked.
"Um, in a bit. I think I want to check things out around her," I said. "You know, just scout out the area and stuff."
"Alright," Ed said with a shrug. "Just be careful."
I nodded, and quickly made my way back towards the alley where I saw the person. I tried to remember what the person looked like, or if the person was male or female, but all I remembered was seeing that smirk. Which wasn't anything to go on.
I found the alley with ease, and, taking a deep breath and a quick look around, I walked down. There was only one door at the very end of the alley. Hesitantly, I pushed the door open, and peeked around. The room was dark, but I could make out the form of a bar off to one side, and there were tables here and there. I walked in, and carefully closed the door behind me. Walking by a table, I ran my finger along the top, raising a storm of dust. It appeared that no one has been here for a while. I knelt down to examine the floor, and, after wiping my finger on it, I found that it to was dusty. Looking around I couldn't see any footprints left in the dust, but I guess that was to be expected. I got up and began to look around the room, walking to each side until I found a door in the back.
I pushed the door open, and look down a hall that smells like a sewer. I reached my hand into my pocket and find my ring the transmutation circle on it. I took a deep breath, slip the ring on, and quietly make my way down the hall.
It's long, and it smells rank, but I finally found the end. Pressed up against the wall, I peek around the corner, and see what looks to fire light in the distance.
I hesitated a moment. I should wait and come down here with Ed, or Roy, I think to myself. But I am already here. I'll just have to be creative if I get into a sticky situation.
I eased around the corner and walk as quickly and quietly as possible. I was about halfway there when I heard footsteps behind me. I spun around in shock and came face to face with the brown eyed, auburn haired woman.
"You!" I said.
She smirked at me. "You really shouldn't have come here. Normally I would have you killed, but I need you to deliver a message to Brigadier General Roy Mustang for me: You are done."
"What's that-" But I didn't get to finish my sentence, for she had stabbed a spear through my stomach, miraculously missing my vital points, and that spear a moment after piercing me, sent a jolt of lighting throughout my body.
It was the middle of the night when my eyes fluttered open, and I was on the steps of Central HQ. I struggled to sit up, even though my stomach just wanted me to lay down and never move again.
Instinctively, I looked down at my hand to see that my ring was, thankfully, still there. I used alchemy to create a walking stick from the stone steps, and I slowly made my way back to the hotel. As I approached, I saw three figures leaving.
"Tea? Tea!" That was Ed's voice, I was pretty sure. Letting go of my makeshift cane, I toppled down to the ground. Moments later, someone was rolling me over onto my back.
"What happened?" Ed asked. "Where did you go?
"I… went… bar… she's… here…" I managed to get out before blacking out again.
A/N: Sorry if this is too short, and sorry if it took me a while. I can't remember when I last updated, so I guess it did take a while, but I have kind of a bad memory, and I'm finding it very hard to keep track of days and stuff. Maybe I should talk to someone about that… but whatever, I think I'm fine.
Anyways, I don't normally post stuff about my personal life, but tomorrow is my college orientation! W00T! I'm already registered for classes, and I star August 30th, so I have, like, a month of summer left. I guess it's kind of depressing, but I am excited to start school again. Cuz this time it's college and stuff :P yeah, anyways, hope you liked it.
Oh, one more thing, after rereading chapter two, I fixed to blatant mistakes. One was when Tea was taking, originally she was saying something about "Winry business" that makes absolutely no sense, since she's talking to Winry and Ed. I changed it to "Tanya business." There was also one part where I call Roy Brigadier Genera, and then literally a paragraph or two later, I call him Major General. DERP. So I changed the Major Genera to Brigadier General.
Alright, hope you liked it!
