"So General Crepsley what are you doing here in Arcadia Bay?" Roy Asked sipping his coffee. Sigh "I am a performer for the Cirque du freak, and that's the reason I'm in town. There is nothing more to it." Roy considered his options. "So if I understand correctly you are only here for some performance?"
"Yes" General Crepsly answered harshly "and don't let me ask again but why are you questing me?" Roy accepted that he would have to start answering "I'm working on the disappearance case of Rachel Amber, a known associate of you is a likely suspect. His name is Ramone, Ramone Horton Armstrong you would have met him during the Ishvalan war. Now to cut straight to the point, did Ramone set you up to break into Blackwell Academy's principal's office?"
General Crepsley's muscles tensed noticeably "you should know Colonel Mustang, I do not take these allegations lightly, remember I am a General after all." "I'm sorry General Crepsley but I have video and audio of you breaking and entering. And linking you to Ramone Armstrong, I have no other option than to arrest you." Larten was bewildered by this as Roy continued "General Larten Crepsley you are hereby under arrest, you do not have to say anything but anything you say will be written down and may be given as evidence. Do you understand your rights?"
Roy was sitting with is team in the Arcadia Bay police station. General Crepsley refused to answer any question without his lawyer present or unless curtain friends were there with him, and so he was sitting alone in a integration room. Meas came walking and pulled Roy aside. "Roy we have a problem, your commander has disappeared and now top brass is sending a replacement. You're not going to like it because tomorrow at ten hundred hours she will arrive here." Roy's eyes shot open "She?!" "Yes Roy" Meas continued "General Olivier Armstrong is coming down from Briggs to personally lead the investigation.
Roy hit the bar after hearing that his kind of nemesis would be coming to lead the case he was working. "Well speaking off the devil there is Must-bang" Roy turned around hearing Chloe walk up to him. "How would it help your investigation if you knew Rachel had something with the local drug dealer?" Chloe asked as she threw down some photos.
Roy took a look and made up his mind "on the one hand it would be great and on the other it would be terrible. Because I finely have a sort of suspect and accomplice but if this… I don't even know his name did it that would be great as well." Chloe looked at him " his name is Frank and who are your 'sort of suspect and accomplice?" "Well" Roy answered "I don't know if I should tell you, but you and Max are unofficial members of the task force so you two will have to meet the boss tomorrow as well. But back to your question the accomplice is General Larten Crepsley and the suspect is Ramone." "What a general?!" Chloe responded "never met one of those." "Yea and you're not going to. Look I'll bring these photos in and won't ask how you got them. See you later Chloe" Roy got up and left bringing the evidence with him.
The following morning Blackwell knew something was going to happen. The soldiers were on edge and the faculty was acting like they were expecting a high visitor. And at ten in the morning it happened, an armored car pulled up to the school accompanied by two tanks and two trucks carrying troops. The troops piled out and went to stand in salute stand in a row to Blackwell's entrance. A blond woman carrying a sword got out of the armored car and walked up to the door's where one of her soldiers opened is for her. She continued walking to the canteen where she kicked the door open "I'm looking for Roy can't do anything Mustang! Where is he!?" She hollered with a commanding tone fitting her rank as major-general. All the way in the back next to the window Max looked up expecting to see Roy walk up and salute his boss. But in reality he wasn't there as everyone soon found out. But everyone turned there head to the side door that flew open.
The man Max least expected to show his face was walked in. Wearing old worn out combat boots, cargo trousers, a black sabbath shirt and cowboy hat. "Howdy mom how've you been? Roy ain't here he's searching my house." Ramone spoke as he walked slowly thru the canteen carrying his own sword. "Pff 'howdy mom' that's all you have to say after the war and faking your own death!?" The general or Ramone's mother was starting to fume out of anger.
That's when she drew her sword and charged. Ramone blocked with his own sword and tried to disarm his mother. She saw it coming and almost stabbed him in the gut "damn mom I knew you would slash me with your sword but I didn't expect you to try and kill me." Ramone huffed as he dodged another strike. Olivier stopped her attacks and looked at him "you faked your own death. I had an empty coffin buried up near Briggs! Because everyone thought you had been cremated or been buried somewhere in that desert. And you think I wouldn't try to teach you a lessen fool?" "Wow mom" Ramone responded "didn't think you'd miss me that much." That was as much conversation happened until they started fighting again for about half an hour.
The whole canteen was still trying to proses what had happened a general came barging in and then fought with her supposed son. And after that hugged him and started catching up with him. "Sorry that I faked my death mom but I wanted to get out of, well everything basically and I wanted everyone to just let me alone. And in my defense I was planning to go and visit you but some shit came up."
"And what would that be Ramone?" Olivier asked. Ramone started explaining the Amber case and that he was the main suspect Olivier listened and considered the whole situation. "I'm going to have a little talk with Mustang over this, but as the officer in charge of the case I can't rule you out." At that point a soldier came up and said that Olivier was wanted at the police station. After Olivier left Max came up to Ramone "is your mother always this intense?" Max asked him "no she was being nice today."
Max and Ramone got in his 70's Cadillac and drove down to the police station where they met Meas. "Hi guys how are you?" Meas asked as he led them to interrogation room two. "I'm okey" Ramone said "it's just weird to see my mother after a couple years." "Yea I get that, now the general is going to start the interrogation so you have to be quiet."
As Max, Ramone and Meas walked in they saw Oliver sitting behind a window together with some man dressed in all red. They went to stand next to Roy and listened to the conversation. "So general Crepsley, why did you come down from the Briggs mountain range?" Mr. Crepsley remained silent for a while "Olivier, what are you doing here?" Olivier pinched her nose "Larten you have been informed so don't play dumb." "Fine" Larten scoffed. Larten looked at the window and although he couldn't see them he was looking at them.
"I was in a bar in North City and I overheard someone talking about a friend of mine abducting or killing some girl. Who would later turn out to be Rachel Amber so I set forth and negotiated my way into an circus who's owner I happen to know. And traveled here and infiltrated Blackwell Academy to take those records to him and that is all. And to possibly clear his name. He did not ask me to I did it all out of my own accord." "Understood" Olivier said as she walked out of the room and walked over to the rest of the gang.
"I would ask you all to clear out for a while so I can speak to him in private, he is an old acquaintance who lives in an isolated house in the Briggs mountain range." She turned around and everyone cleared out except for Ramone. He looked at his old friend and mother sitting on the other side of the window.
