14: Lie to me

I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. And I'm sorry that I took forever to update! Anyways I hope you guys don't hate me! Back to the story!

POV of Laura Fang

I go back to my room and flop down in my chair. I pull my bangs back frustrated; I swear sometimes...

"Colonel?" I look up and it's Furry. I roll my eyes;

"Come in Furry." he does so he sets down some papers on my desk.

"It's from Colonel Mustang." and on that note he leaves so I wait until the door closes behind me. I glance over at the papers and there's a sticky note on it. I pull it off and it reads "Since you won't believe me. Take a look for yourself." I break the seal on the spine of the papers and I glance over its title. It's a request paper. I continue reading it and it says

Name: Leo Anderson (Age: 29 [Sex: Male])

Request: To be placed under Colonel Laura Fang's company.

Reasons: Classified.

Approved by Fuhrer Bradley.

Why would Fuhrer Bradley approve of this? He doesn't get himself involved with the companies so why with mine? And how did Roy get a hold on this? Well this has more questions than answers... I put the papers into my drawers and put a lock on it; write a note saying I got to leave Central for a while due to an investigation and head over to the train station.

Roy's about to board the train after his company gets on when I scream out "Roy wait!" he turns around and looks at me

"What? Can't you see I'm about to leave?" he asks so I get on with him.

"I'm going with you." he gives me a puzzled look

"Without Anderson?" I don't answer him and get on. I sit next to him in the train looking out of the window messing with my pocket watch. Even though I don't use for my Illusion Alchemy (Illusionsts we get pretty much like a State pocket watch inside our bodies so in theory we're never handicapped. And it gives the enemy the illusion that we're in trouble once when the watch is snatch away from us.) I still like looking at it. I put it back into my pocket and my hand goes for under my rib cage where the State Alchemy device is. I haven't seen that thing in years but that's the point. If its ripped out of our bodies then the thing becomes worthless and we have to go get a new one put in. The country hills roll as we advance towards Eastern Head Quarters. We get off so I follow Roy down to Eastern's Archive Room. He pulls out boxes and hands it to me.

"Here; these were some of them, I'm pretty sure there's some out there." I set it down on the floor and pull some of the files out. Why would Leo want to be under me? Roy sits down next to me and pulls some of the files out. "Hey these were our evaluation sheets when we were barely entering ranks!" I look at them with him. There's our profiles and the way how we looked in our teens. He looks so kiddish like while I haven't really changed all too much like him. I look over my file and read some of the notes and it reminds me how much of a damn pet project I was.

Fire Alchemy: Fail

Wind Alchemy: Fail

Earth Alchemy: Fail

Water Alchemy: Fail (It seems as if she's not really any good for Elemental Alchemy)

Side notes: Although despite these problems she excels in combat; Colonel Stone has decided to take Laura on as his subordinate to teach her Illusion Alchemy. (He claims that her strengths are better put to use in there than trying to teach her something she can't wield.)

I set my file down, damn it. I hate looking back because when Roy and I started the project with the other recruits everyone was picking it up easy expect for me. Especially when we were trying Fire Alchemy, everyone got their flames started while mine wouldn't start. I got really frustrated so I tried again when the candle we were using exploded. Ugh! That's when Colonel Stone came in and saw me. He studied me for a while when we were getting the other segments done and I honestly was the boss in those. So yeah; that's how Colonel Stone took me under his company until I became his Lieutenant.

So now is; why Leo would want to be under me? I mean my whole company we're all not made for combat on the front lines. We're all mostly for special missions where they're supposed to never come out of the Council. We have some other Illusionists like me, assassins and etc. but why would Leo; who has the ability of Ice be working with us?

Roy eventually leaves me; I bury my face in all of the records that have Leo in them trying to figure out why. I know this shouldn't be affecting me that he asked to be my Lieutenant but it does. There's too many questions about it. And well to be honest, maybe because Roy threw that fit earlier is probably making me to further investigate.

The door opens to the Archive Room so I'm guessing it's Roy; I stand up to greet him when it's not. It's a tall man with jagged teeth and crazy hair. He turns the corner and looks at me. "You're Laura Fang right?" I nod so he sighs. "Well, sorry pretty face but I'll have to kill you now." He lunges out for me so I pull my sword out and block his arm. I throw him off so I run into the hallway where there's more space for me to work with. He follows and strikes out at me, my sword comes to contact with his limbs blocking. I trip, he gets on me and I draw my legs to my chest and kick him off. He stumbles back and there's blood coming down the side of his face. "You're pretty good. But it won't take that to kill me." He grins as his skin heals and the scratch closes up. He kicks me in my stomach sending me to fly into a wall. I get up and project myself into the air getting away from him. Once when I'm a comfortable distance away from him, I scream out

"Who are you!?" He smirks as he faces me and puts his hands into his pockets.

"The name's Greed. And we met before." He pulls out a card and it's the same one when Roy and I were attacked here in his office. I clench my jaw and raise my sword.

"So you were that bastard that attacked me? And what the hell do you want with me?" I demand

He walks his way over to me. "What if I told you that I could help you using Elemental Alchemy. And how bout if that man you love accomplish his dream on being Fuhrer?" He asks so I lower my sword. "And what if we were to able bring back your sister Lauren? Imagine how life would be for your little niece and your brother-in-law?" That's when it strikes me that this guy has been following me. When you're trained to detect lies from a conversation as a potential illusion, you pick up on things fast. I see the tell tell signs that he's lying to me. How long he holds his gaze as he talks to me; the slight sudden movements of his body.

"You're lying to me." And then I take off before we end up in a bloodshed. He follows me and flings knives and anything he has on him to lodge themselves into me. I reach into my pocket, twist my back and throw the shurikens at him. They fly past him so he grins but I got him. I pull on the strings tied around my wrist that connect with the shurikens and pull them back. They lodge themselves into Greed so I cut the string off of my wrist and run.

I bang on Roy's door to his apartment. He opens up so I get in and slam the door behind me. "I thought you were going back to Central~!" he drags out the last word as I fall to my knees. I clutch to my stomach as the kick from Greed kicks in. I barf on his floor and there's some blood mixed in there; "Laura!" he screams and I face plant my face to his floor and everything's dark as night.
