"Liutenant Colonel Elric, I need you to sign these papers and make sure Grumman gets them, okay?" a subordinate said as he handed his superior the file folder.
Andi smiled to him, ignoring the slack in proper honorifics. "Thanks, I can get right on it."
Andi sat at her desk in investigations and looked over the papers, making sure things were right when they were typed up. She scanned the work quickly, making sure there was a signature line at the bottom of the correct paper. Her hair was done up, her side-swept bangs fell before her eyes. She stared at the papers, her mind making her remember when she was just a doll. She shook her head, signing her name: Andi M. Elric.
She placed the folders aside, taking a look at the pictures on her desk. She smiled, looking at them. There was her usual family picture from her wedding day, a little worn at the edges, and another one just after she had gotten back home. Not long after Grumman reinstated her with everything back. Two years ago, she was a Major.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Andi nodded her head up to face her subordinate. "Yes, just thinking."
Andi stood, tightening her hairdo-to Mick's satisfaction, looked like Aunt Riza's and hers-and grabbed her files. She walked out of the office she still semi-shared with Maes and walked to Grumman's. Her mind wasn't with her. She was thinking too much, wondering what the hell she was forgetting. She knew it was something.
Andi dropped off her paperwork with the secretary and headed back to her office. She walked in to hear a high-pitched squeal emanate from behind her desk.
"Momma!"
Andi looked over to her daughter, still wearing her uniform from school. Mick ran to her, wrapping her arms around her waist. Mick looked up at her mother with her father's gold eyes.
"What are you doing here? I thought you and your father weren't coming in today," she said as she ran her fingers through her daughter's silky, golden locks.
Ed snorted, making Andi look up. She smiled to him when she saw him in her chair, reclined back with his feet on the wooded edge of the desk, careful not to touch anything with his shoes. Last time was met with him not getting what he wanted later that night. Instead, he was sentenced to either sleeping on the couch or with Mick in her bed. All because he accidentally crumpled an important piece of paper.
"Daddy said we should surprise you," she said as she smiled brightly to Andi.
Andi smiled. "He did?" She looked up to Ed, who got up from the seat with a smile and a nod.
"Yeah, she's sellin' me out."
Andi let go of Mick to wrap herself in the arms of her husband. She smiled to him. "Oh yeah," she asked softly with a smile.
Ed smiled down to her. "Yeah."
Andi giggled as she leaned in and kissed her husband, earning a disgusted look and noise from their daughter. Andi broke the kiss to laugh.
"Careful, Mick," she said with a smile. "This will happen to you one day. You'll find a boy, fall in love, get married."
Mick slashed her hands through the air. "Not gonna happen, Momma."
Ed chuckled, looking to Andi. "Sounds like you," he said.
Andi giggled. "Yeah, then some alchemist decided to change that."
She remembered when she said that she didn't fall in love. That whenever people get near her, they leave. Ed changed that.
Ed chuckled. "Yeah, he did. Started helping you skip school and everything."
Andi smiled, kissing him again, hoping no one would interrupt him until their kiss was done. But nothing really works as planned.
"Andi, I want you to..." someone started, then saw what was going on. "Oh never mind, finish."
Ed broke the kiss and groaned. "Maes."
Andi smiled. "Be nice." She turned to Maes. "What did you need?"
Maes shook his head, having already greeted Mick, who was sitting at her mother's desk, drawing on triple checked, blank paper. "There is a person of interest at the south-western part of the country. I was wondering if you'd have any idea what they might be doing."
Andi stepped from Ed, getting the file from Maes's hand. She opened it, pondering over the words before looking at the picture. "Looks like they aren't doing anything illegal. I don't see why you're bringing this to me."
"Look at the picture." Maes pointed to the top of the file, where the pictures were normally paper clipped.
Andi widened her eyes when she saw the long, dark, wavy hair and the tattoo in the middle of her chest, between her breasts. She smiled, having always wondered what happened to her after she was changed from homunculous back to human.
"Lust."
