18: who is Leo Anderson?

I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13

3rd person

Laura goes to find the Elrics and she does. She closes the door behind her and crosses her arms. Ed stands up and Al just looks up from whatever he was looking at.

"Where's Shou Tucker?" Laura demands with venom in her voice.

Laura stands in front of an ally; she pulls out the card from the night she was attacked by the figure in black. She studies it and then the devil tail on the paper turns and points towards the direction of the Devil's Nest. She comes upon the place so she walks in. Since she doesn't have her uniform on so it doesn't raise any questions; no one inside the bar notices her. Greed's asleep on the couch so he lifts his head and notices her.

"Ah look who we have here boys." Greed smirks as she turns around; she's wearing all black form-fitting clothes that make her golden eyes to stand out of her face.

"Where is Shou Tucker? I have some questions for him." she states so Greed rises and circles around her.

"You know what darling; why don't you want to ask me questions instead. I'm much more interesting than old Shou." Greed teases as she keeps her eyes on him.

"My motives for seeking Shou Tucker are none of your concern. I will ask one more time. Where is Shou Tucker?" she orders so from out of the shadows a giant figure appears. Tucker appears and he raises his hand paw thing.

"I'm here. My aren't you the last Fang?" she throws her hand towards him and if she was able to use Elemental Alchemy he would have been burned to ashes.

"Yeah I am. Now I have some questions for you. May we be alone?" she asks towards Greed so he nods but before they can leave, he eyes her with a dark desire in them. She and Shou go over to the back.

They both go towards an empty room so Laura takes a good look at Shou Tucker.

He's a Chimera. Serves him right so she gets serious.

"What can you tell me about this man?" She pulls out a picture of Leo and shows it to him. He studies it for a moment.

"Flip it upside down. It's easier for me to recognize pictures that way." She turns it and he pushes back his glasses. "Ah, well his name's Leo Anderson. He would go to Laboratory 5 to check on my work. He was working under the Fuehrer himself. And he would always ask if its possible for someone to become an immortal. I told him that in theory yes but in all reality no."

She nods so she puts the picture away into her pocket and crosses her arms over her chest.

"What can you tell me about him being involved of the apparent arrest of the Crimson Alchemist?" And at that moment the ex State Alchemist comes in. He looks over at Laura.

"My you've grown little one." Keeimer states as he eyes her.

"What relation did Leo Anderson have to you?" She asks and he smirks

"He was my Lieutenant in the Ishbal Massacre." She takes a step back from him as she's in shock.

"That's no possible. You killed every one of your men and if he was your Lieutenant that means he should be long dead by now!" She yells trying to apply logic to her confusion. He smiles

"Looks like the Illusion Alchemist is confused herself. So tell me Colonel; how is the little Major Mustang doing?" He gives her sly eyes so she shakes her confusion away.

"We're both Colonels. Now Shou; why would he be asking you guys about that?" He shrugs

"I don't know. I guess it caught his interest." She nods

"Thank you for your time. Please do not do anything that can alert the State that you're still alive. And you former Crimson Alchemist; I hope you burn in hell." Keeimer laughs

"I'll be taking you down with me Fang." She leaves the room so Greed comes over to her

"So are you going to join forces with me darling?" He asks so she just gives him not amused eyes.

"Not now not ever." She leaves the Devil's Nest.

In Eastern Head Quarters; Roy's doing his own investigations on the Chill Breath Alchemist himself. Files and records liter his desk as he scans for anything that has to do with the person of interest. He's about to give up on looking through the civilian files when a picture catches his attention. He studies the image of the person named "Arrow Cash."

"What the hell?" Roy thinks to himself because Arrow Cash is Leo Anderson. Maybe him having two alliances isn't something to be interested about but it is for this reason.

Arrow Cash has been dead since 100 years ago. But why do Arrow Cash and Leo Anderson look exactly the same? He carefully reads all the information the record has about Arrow Cash and it's description about him matches up with Leo's profile. He reaches out for his phone and dials up the number for Laura's office. It rings and then someone picks up;

"Colonel Fang." she replies on the other side of the line. Roy still has his eyes set on the record so he mumbles

"It's me Mustang. I have something you should check out..."

"I'm heading over there to Eastern. I'll see you there." they hang up and more questions come up over Leo Anderson.

Who is Leo Anderson?

Meanwhile in the mist of the new discovery; Leo knocks on the Fuehrer's room; he's let in and closes the door behind him. He salutes and Bradley nods.

"What is it Leo?" he asks so Leo lowers his hand and then replies

"They're on to us Sir. I found this in Fang's drawer. It's my request papers." Bradley extends his hand out and Leo hands the papers over.

"Why would your Colonel have these?" Bradley asks a bit confused because these papers where supposedly burned along with the library.

"Mustang had them and gave them to Fang. She went to Eastern to go check out on more of my papers. Things are getting too risky Pride." Leo states. The Fuehrer nods

"So meaning that your secret can be snooped out. I gave her a secret assignment to keep an eye on Mustang once when I authorize his transfer here. How's your body holding up?" Pride asks so Leo lifts his shirt up and his skin looks rotten and molding.

"Not all too great. Just as soon as we get those two Elrics to forge the Philosopher's Stone I'm gonna get my hands on it first before Dante does. Greedy old bitch." Leo snarls and Pride sets a hand on his shoulder

"In all due time Leo. Don't get impatient. I know it's hard having to always change bodies but unlike Dante; you actually die then regenerate again. Trust me, I'll make sure you finally do whatever you need to do with the Stone." Pride promises.
