Olivier Armstrong was sitting at her desk while Larten Crepsley was send down to a holding cell 'damn Crepsley you never get caught except for the one time I ask you to do something. I swear…' Her thought were interrupted as her phone rang. "General Major Olivier Armstrong who is calling an official line?" She asked "General, it's me Roy listen I found a boxcar at the edge of town filled with evidence could you send the rest over so we can process this?" "Sure I'll send your man but know that I send Alex back to Central, but I'll send Riza and Meas you're way."

A little while later Riza and Meas arrived at the yard to assist Roy and co in digging through the car. At the end of it they had found several items of note.

The state-alchemist watch, the notebook, ammo and one revolvers and a pistol, an old security detail from Ishval along some other notes, and a set of bloody cloths. Chloe had the cloths confirmed as Rachel Amber's, Roy started looking through the notebook 'there are two sets of handwriting in here, one on the music alchemy created by Ramone and the other is about the machinery I wonder who put this together.' Roy noted to himself

"Chloe do you know Ramone's handwriting?" he asked as he was still reading. "Yea I know it, why do you ask?" she answered in a depressed tone as she walked up to him "could you identify the writing in the notebook?" Roy asked as he handed the notebook over. Chloe took a look and read some of the paragraph's "this stuff about those machines is written by Ramone and the alchemy stuff is written by Rachel no doubt about it."

Roy was dumbfounded he of course thought Ramone wrote the alchemic part but from the looks of it and Chloe's answer to who wrote it, this must have been Rachel's 'textbook'. "Alright" Roy commanded "bag up the notebook, guns, papers and the cloths. We are taking this to HQ."

Shortly after the group arrived at their HQ Olivier arrived "so… what do we got?" she asked not beating around the bush with her.

Roy informed her about their found and started discussing the case. But at the same time Max and Riza were comforting Chloe they successfully managed to avoid a mental breakdown. And were now telling her that Rachel might still be alive. But the moment Chloe was almost back to her regular self Meas came walking in with a cuffed Ramone. "Alright Ramone if I were you I'd start answering questions." Meas said as he sat Ramone down at a table and cuffed him to it.

Roy laid the notebook in front of Ramone "pleas enlighten us about this book." Meas asked, everyone saw the gears turning in Ramones head
"well that is the textbook I compiled for Rachel and in the back are some notes on my hobby. I thought she took it with her, did you lot find her, or, has she maybe lost it?" The silence after Ramone had spoken was filled with worry. "Ramone…" Olivier started "I know that you keep silent if you think you should be th eone to solve somthing but if know anything, tell us that's an order!" Ramone slumped down and said nothing "Olivier?"

After receiving the information and not saying anything els Roy let Ramone go for the time being. Olivier left for Briggs because of a training exercise with East army. Roy was reading over some papers when a question popped into his head.

"Riza, in your recon of the town and the inhabitants did you hear anyone mention sometimes hanging around that railyard where we discovered the evidence?" Roy Asked as he grabbed a couple maps and went to study them. "Yes there was" Riza replied after thinking it over "some man in Two Whales, I think he was called old man Casey. But his full name is Casey Hubbert, some former railroad worker." "Thank you" Roy said as he grabbed the phone. "Chloe, yes Roy here, listen go to two whales and meet Riza there… is Max there? Could you put her on the phone? Hi Max could you come over to the police burau I have to discuss something with you. Good thank you see you in a bit."

"What was that a bout?" Riza asked "well Olivier thinks Ramone might be being framed and she threatened me to investigate that matter. So you and Chloe go and look into that while Max and me are going to have a little talk with this so called General Crepsley."

Roy and Max walked in the police station and went ahead to go talk to their burglar. "Wake up 'General" Roy said with a lot of sarcasm, as Crepsley stirred and woke up he mumbled "what do you want arsonist?"

Roy held up a report he got form central HQ "these documents tell me and anyone who has them that there is no General Larten Crepsley, so who are you?" Crepsley didn't even look at the report. "Ask the ice queen, and tell her you have my permission to know." "You are a vampire aren't you?" Max blurted out Crepsley's eyes widened slightly at hearing this and a sly grin appeared on his face. "…What that is preposterous, vampires do not exist girl, and if they would asking one would not end good for one."

"Mr. Crepsley" Roy intervened "this is as good as a confession so what are you doing here and pleas be honest." "Fine you want the whole story?" Crepsley snorted "short story, yes I am a vampire, I live with my clan in the Briggs mountain range. I am here on the request of our most trusted ally within the Amsestrian army. Is that enough to quench your curiosity?"

At the same time at the railyard

Chloe drove up with Riza sitting next to her. "Look there is the man I told you about" Chloe heard Riza say next to her. Chloe stopped her truck and the two got out.

"Casey Hubbert?" Riza asked "we spoke on the phone thank you for meeting us here." "So I'm gonna cut right to the chase old 397 ain't for sale." He said while he pointed towards the rusting locomotive. "No sir you are mistaken we don't want to buy the steam engine."

Casey looked surprised "well what can I do for ya beautiful lady's if you don't wanna buy my old beast?" "We heard you are here a lot so we wanted to know if someone recently has stored a lot of items in that boxcar at the end over there."

Casey looked over towards the boxcar " now that you mention it, yea some whipper snapper put some boxes and such in there not long ago." "If we showed you a picture of the man could you identify this person?" Riza asked "Yea I think so but he was a bit away and it was dark so I'm not sure." Chloe dug the picture of Ramone, Stg Pepper and Larten Crepsley out of her pocket and showed it to him. Casey took a good look at it

"well" he said after a while. "It isn't the man in red, and I don't think it is the man hugging that red clad oddball, but that third man, could be but I'm not sure it could also be that hugging idiot." "Thank you for your time sir have a nice day. Come on Chloe we have to tell the colonel this."

Back at the police station
"So let me get this straight" Roy summarized "You are a vampire, and General Armstrong asked you to look in to an accusation against her son, who is an old buddy from you, and for some reason Stg Pepper is afraid for you. Is that it?"

Crepsley thought it over for a bit "Yea that's about it. I do not know why old Johnny is afraid, maybe it is something from Ishval."

"Sure because a three hundred something old blood sucker isn't frightening at all… You know forget it" Roy said as he rubbed a hand over his face. "Max go to your dorms, and you, you old bat I'll speak to you again when I need you." As Roy walked away he thought 'I really could use some advice, and lunch better head over to the Two Wales again, but first let's get some files from the HQ' Roy thought as he walked out the police station.
