17: my assignment
I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13
POV of Laura Fang
I'm back at Central and I'm in the training room for like strength and condition stuff. Leo helps me out with spotting me. I hang upside down from one of the doors and do some curl ups.
"So what did you go and investigate yesterday Colonel?" he asks so I tell him to hold me up so I can tell him. He holds me up; I pant out
"Some files I needed were at Eastern. Sorry I should have told you." he lets me go so I start the curls up again until all my blood starts rushing to my head. Leo gets me down so we move onto the next part of my training. Since I can't use can't use Elemental Alchemy unlike the others, I have to train a lot more to put up a decent fight against enemies. Leo waits for me as I grab my sword out and he ties my free hand behind my back. He goes to the other side of the room and starts the tennis ball machine.
"'Member Laura, your new goal is to get 35 out of 50 sliced. Ready when you are." He barks so I get into a guarding stance. I nod so he starts the machine. The tennis balls come at me so I slice them before they smack me square in the face. I get some of them sliced so Leo turns up the fastness crank on it. They come at me a lot faster than I like but it's much more challenging. One hits me in the shoulder that's still sore from the time I fought Riza. Well what feels like minutes the machine runs out of balls so Leo counts how many I sliced.
"You got 32." He tells me as he cuts my arm free. I shake it around and damn it I'm getting sloppy. I nod so he goes out to do whatever he usually does. I go over to my office and Ed and Al are there.
"Hey you guys." I greet as I sit in my chair to ease the pressure. I reach between my shoulder blades and turn a knob. It's an auto corrector for the pressure meaning that I don't have to be messing with the gates. Ed glances over at me
"Colonel. I have some questions for you." I look up and I nod my head. He pulls out a file from his jacket and hands it to me. "What can you tell me about Ishabal? And what Leo Anderson had to do with it along with the Crimson Alchemist?" Ed asks so I stare at them.
"What the hell are you guys talking about? Leo wasn't involved with Ishbal and the Crimson Alchemist is supposedly been executed long ago. After he slaughtered his men. Ed, Al, what are you guys assuming?" Al turns towards me
"You see; we know what we needed to complete a Philosopher's Stone. You need human lives and we had strong suspicions that was going on in laboratory 5. Shou Tucker is alive and the State kept him alive so he could find a way to make them. Anyways the point is there was someone mentioned by the ex prisoners and by some people called Homuculi. They said that Leo had something to do with the apparent arrest of the Crimson Alchemist. Colonel!" Al yells after me as I run out of the room. I go outside to where the new shrimps are. Leo's outside so I kick him on his back. He falls face first into the ground and glares at me.
"Colonel." He rises as he shakes the dust off of himself. I glare my eyes at him and my Rinkai threatens to emerge.
"When are you going to stop lying to me Anderson?" I demand so he looks back to the shrimps and tells them to leave. They all do so he looks back at me
"What do you mean Laura?" I'm about to tell him the rumors circling around him when another lower ranking officer comes outside.
"Colonel Fang! The Fuehrer requests you in his office!" She informs me so I nod. I glare over at Leo
"We still have things to discuss." I go over to his office.
Sir." I salute as I enter the Fuehrer's office. He sees me so he motions me to sit down. I do and he glances out of his window.
"Colonel Fang; how well do you know Roy Mustang?" He asks so I rise the chair a bit taken back from his question.
"Well quiet well Sir." I reply because why would he have such an interest in Roy?
He turns around,
"So you know about him planning to secede me as Fuehrer one day correct?" He asks so I play dumb
"Sir I didn't know. But why would Roy- excuse me Colonel Mustang plan to?" He sighs
"Because I have strong suspicious that he doesn't agree with my actions concerning the State." So I nod but then try
"Sir; I don't understand why he would. He's not the type to object your orders and you've done a great job." I try kissing his ass.
"Are you insulting my intelligence Colonel?" I shake my head
"Of course not Fuehrer. So please if you might explain to me why you would have such assumptions?" He shakes his head and hand as he comes over to me.
"The point is Colonel; Colonel Mustang is asking a transfer to Central so I plan to authorize it. Now when I do; I have an assignment for you." He goes over to his desk and pulls out a files and holds it out to me. I grab it as a heavy dining feeling sets in my stomach. "I want you to keep an eye on the Colonel. This will be a secret mission meaning you're not allowed to tell anyone not even your Lieutenant. I want you to get him to tell you why and how he plans to do it. Do whatever you need; seduce him or whatever. Get the job done. Once when you so you're to report to me. Am I understood Colonel Laura Fang?" He asks as he actually opens his eye at me. I nod and raise my hand to my forehead.
"Yes Sir. I will not disappoint you." He nods and smiles
"Alright then. You're free to go. I will tell you when Colonel Mustang will be transferring to Central as soon as we get in contact." I nod so I give a hasty bow and leave for my office. I go over to my locked drawer to put the assignment in there. I pull out my key from my pocket to open it. It pops out and I'm about to put the file down when I notice something. The lock was hit against as if someone was trying to open it and the folder with Leo's requests papers are gone. I frown;
Looks like there's something more to Roy not liking Leo...
