21: on a limit

I don't own FMA and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. Sorry for not updating, I was stuck in a car trip with no internet so please forgive me! Then to make things worse some idiot crashed their bumper into my tail gate of my car so it took forever! Anyways this morning some of my old friends took me out to this restaurant called Capn't Roy's and ha well I was imagining Roy Mustang from FMA as a pirate XD... I'm gonna shut up now so enjoy!

3rd person

Leo enters the Fuehrer's office and he rises from his desk.

"Colonel Fang has returned back from Eastern Head Quarters Sir. And here are her assignment papers." Leo hands back Laura's assignment from the Fuehrer and he puts it in his drawer.

"Thank you Anderson. You're excused." Bradley sends him out and he goes over to his desk and speaks to his secretary

"Send Laura Fang in my room please." He retracts his finger and glazes out of his window. "Looks like I have to use other ways to scare the Illusion Alchemist to my side..." The door opens and speaking of the devil she comes in and salutes.

"You summoned me Sir." She greets so he waves his hand and she stands on point.

"I'm authorizing Colonel Mustang's transfer this week. You remember your assignment correct?" He asks and she nods

"Yes Sir. May I ask why you've entrusted me with this assignment?" She asks and he sighs

"Because you have personal connections to him meaning he's more willing to tell you than if I was to assignment Lieutenant Hawkeye. I hope you do not fail me Fang. The fate of the State Military lies in your hands. Do not fail me or Colonel Stone." He throws into her face so she nods

"When will he be transferring?"

"In two days. Your office is the one straight in front of his so it'll be easier for you to keep an eye. You're excused." She nods and marches out of his room.

She enters her office.

"Hey Colonel! I thought you went missing or something! How was your investigation?" Leo greets as she flops into her chair.

"Tiring. I had to check on some records. Well it's good to see that you managed to keep the office in one piece while I was out. What happened?" She asks so he sets down paperwork on her desk in front of her. He glances down at his clipboard tapping his pen against each bulletin on his paper.

"•You had some reports from your majors and other subordinates. I already separated then by ranking for you.

• you're superior wanted some reports in and he came in here looking for you."

She glances over at him "Which superior?" He lifts the papers and reads the name

"Um I believe it was Kurt. And also just some other paperwork. And your niece and brother-in-law came by." She stands up and adjusts the pressure in her auto mail.

"Did they tell you for what they came by for?" She asks as she glances over at him.

"Something about your birthday or something of that matter." She nods and then someone knocks on the door. She answers it and its Armstrong.

"The Elrics are here to see you."

She follows him down the hallways as he leads her to where her projects are.

"They have something on Anderson don't they?" She asks and Armstrong makes an agreeing noise.

"And also they have some questions for us about the Stone's we were wearing during the Ishbal Massacre. And something about you personally." She nods so they enter Armstrong's room along with his lieutenants and the Elrics rise from their chairs.

"What did you guys find?" Ed hands her papers and she runs her eyes over them. She holds them and then looks over at them, "What other things do you have to ask me?" Ed smirks

"Lately Colonel Mustang has been a lot nice to me letting Al and I leave out on more leads and even gave us a higher allowance. Do you have anything to do with it Colonel?" He asks trying to hint at her something as he stands next to her with him raising his eyebrows. She glances down at him and she pushes his head away.

"Anyways I have to go. If I plan to go out on vacation next week I have a lot to work on." She's about to leave when Ed calls out

"And who are you going on that vacation with? Mustang's taking one too for next week." Ed teases and she smirks

"Well will you look at the time... Shouldn't you be running around like manic by now?" She teases then leaves.

She goes over to her office and Leo's out so she uses the opportunity to check out the papers Ed managed to get his hands on. It's another civilian report and just like with the Arrow Cash papers here's Leo again; but instead of the same name it's James Carter. "How is this even possible? This guy was supposedly killed around 40 years ago... Something doesn't make sense..." She puts the papers away then heads back to her apartment as begins to take coverage over the sky. She enters her apartment but she didn't realize that she was being followed.

A figure lingers behind an ally that's near the apartment complex. "This just keeps getting better and better." Once when it suspects that she won't be coming out, the figure leaves the ally. It's dark body suit melts away revealing the face of Leo. He returns back to to HQ and walks down the empty hallways. He's about to enter his sleeping quarters when he drops to the ground. He winces as he stands up limping his way in. Once when the door clicks closed, he takes off his shirt and the skin over his abdomen is getting worst. "I need that Stone more than ever. If not things are going to get worst for me." He sets his hand over the rotting skin and it hisses against the ice alchemy he's feeding it to preserve it longer.

Laura mean while makes a discovery about Leo working under Fuehrer Bradley; he would kill the other Alchemists that were planning to surpass the Fuehrer.
