Note: Thank you

Super Saiyan Angel for the first review. I will try. Also thank you TailsMoon and chara-the-fire-lover! You made me very happy.

To TailsMoon: From the next chapter, I promise. I wrote this halfway when I read your review and I'm awfully busy nowadays so I didn't want to rewrite it. I will someday, because it will be a bit strange this way. But I've already started the next chapter with "" dialogue. It' so hard, I'm so used to the Hungarian dialogue form, with - I have written hundreds of pages that way and I always want to switch…

Moving

Roy watched amused as Fullmetal try to convince Al to go and visit the Rockbells and assure him that he would be fine. The brat was angry because he needed to be separated from his little brother. And he also seemed very annoyed because the armor was insistent.

"But, nii san. I want to stay and help you. I never travel without you."

"You can't Al. This time I will work with the Colonel Bastard. You can't help us. So why don't you go and visit Winry? You are always pestering me about you want to see her."

"But not without you, nii san…"

"Al, please, don't make it harder. It won't be a long time. We will talk on telephone. And as soon as we finished the job, I will go for you and we continue our research. And by the way, you don't need to worry. I'm an alchemist. The Colonel Bastard also one and we have a backup from the army. Not that I need anyone" Roy saw that Al wasn't reassured and tried to say something, but Fullmetal asked him again. "Please" at that the armor sighed painfully and nodded. He turned to Roy's direction, like he tried to ask him.

"Fullmetal is right Alphonse. You are far too conspicuous. We will solve the case and you and your brother can go to search for the Stone" Al nodded, but he seemed worried. "Don't be afraid. We will take care of Fullmetal and don't let him lose another limb" he smirked, but the armor only twitched and the Fullmetal midget became very angry.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me. Especially not you, you Bastard."

"You are right, Fullmetal. I doubt anybody will recognize you without Al, so nobody will try to kill you this time" his smile grew bigger as watched the usual reaction.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE CAN'T BE SEEN WITHOUT A MAGNIFIER?"

"He hasn't said that, nii san" Al sounded exasperated. "Fine I will go to Resembool and wait for you there. Please be careful and don't do anything rush, nii san" Fullmetal nodded, and patted one of the metal limbs "And try to eat healthy, not just sweets."

"Fine" grunted Fullmetal, as Roy watched amused as Al behaved like a mother hen.

"And don't be up too late and…"

"Al, please" Ed looked extremely annoyed. Al stopped speaking and after another sigh he turned around and started to walk away.

"Take care, nii san. Don't forget, that I need you."

"I know, Al" muttered Fullmetal and turned to Roy. "Are you satisfied?" Roy smirked.

"Now let's start it."

Fullmetal was remained very sullen all day, much to the amusement of Roy and most of the others. His mood became seemingly worse, after Hughes attacked him with baby photos. Roy nearly took pity on him. But only nearly. The scene was just too hilarious to do anything. They moved in a shabby flat with two rooms, one for Fullmetal and one for "his parents". Hawkeye looked murderous, when he told her that they must share the bed, because it would be too suspicious if the supposed parents slept apart. She looked around than pulled out her gun, so Roy didn't have a choice.

"Ok, ok we don't have a window, anyway. Nobody will know if we sleep separately until we stay in this room" the lieutenant nodded satisfied and put away her gun. That woman was really scary. Not that Roy would try anything. He liked his balls at the place they belonged to. And for sure he didn't need another. He left Hawkeye alone to arrange the bed problem and joined Fullmetal at the table. The midget still looked very annoyed as he grimaced when he saw him.

"That woman is crazy" pointed Roy toward their room.

"I like Hawkeye. Especially because she can scare you shitless."

"That's not…"

"Come on, don't deny it" the brat's mood seemed to be improving. Roy huffed and turned away from Fullmetal.

"I'm going and find some bigger company" he smirked at the angry shouting:

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT YOU CAN MISTAKE HIS VOICE WITH THE WHISPER OF AN INSECT?"

"Are you ready?" Roy looked at Fullmetal scrutinizing. The boy didn't look nervous only furious. Maybe because he needed to change his usual outfit? Poor Fullmetal. Roy hardly suppressed a laugh. Then he became serious again. The mission started, and the brat will be in danger. This wasn't the time to tease him. Black Hayate also seemed a bit moody because he was separated from Hawkeye. Roy only rolled his eyes at the uneasy pair. Brats. So difficult to train them appropriately.

"Yes Colonel Bastard, I am. But why do I need to wear this?" he pointed disgusted at his green sweater.

"Because you are a kid, who walking a dog right now. It's more average than your coat."

"But at least can I wear my gloves?"

"No. No reason to. It's not so cold."

"But my arm…"

"Don't whine Fullmetal. There isn't any unusual about an automail."

"You, bastard."

"Just go, NOW!" Fullmetal gritted his teethes but didn't argue anymore.

"Come doggy" grumbled the brat, than at last he left for a walk.

"Hughes, don't let him out of your sight."

"Don't worry I won't" and his best friend disappeared from their temporary accommodation.

Roy was impatient. He told Fullmetal to walk for two hours, and then come back. He didn't need him fall asleep on the streets. And that time was enough to make a really big circle and be seen by many people. If he dawdled too long on the streets at night than it would be suspicious. And the brat was away for nearly three hours. Roy was really thinking about suffocating the kid when he arrived. The nerve of him!

"Don't worry, sir. I'm sure he is ok."

"I know. I'm just angry because he failed to comply my orders. Again" he rolled his eyes to show how annoyed he was. Hawkeye didn't respond only continue to cook something, which from the smell of it, had to be inedible. He must ask Havoc to bring him something to eat, if he doesn't want to starve to death. But Havoc was watching the brat at the moment, so he had to wait. Damn kid. Another reason to burn him, if he came back.

Ed was really tired. So he was angry. But mostly too tired to feel the fury. He tried to get back to their flat, but those damn similar houses hindered him. He could be screaming right now. And he couldn't ask help from his watchers because than he would fuck the whole mission. Damn. The streets were empty, he didn't meet too many people at this time. Nor he saw something suspicious. Was there even any reason to do this?

"Come on Hayate. You are a dog. From which direction have we come? Where is your master?" Black Hayate only looked back at him with puppy eyes. Ed was sure he was doing it on purpose. He was just about to turn in another familiar street, when he heard some noise. He spinned around, ready to attack, but he saw nothing. He was about to went on, but he couldn't drag Black Hayate along. The dog was staring into the distance and suddenly broke free and started to run away. Ed cursed, than followed him.

"Stop! Black Hayate come back!" he lost him for a minute. The street was dark and looked empty. Then he heard a squeak. He ran toward the sound, turned at another corner, afraid what he would find. What if they found the murderer? Or another victim? He felt sick from the thought alone. Finally he spotted some movement, than stopped dead at the sight. He couldn't believe it. It was… it was horrible. Of course he had seen worse before, but this didn't help him at the moment. There it was Black Hayate and he wasn't alone. He was with another dog. Supposedly with a girl and he just jumped on her with passion. Ed cursed again and blushed slightly as caught his leash.

"Come on doggy, it's isn't the appropriate time to play Mustang. Come" so he dragged the desperate dog along to finally get home and go to bed. Hell, he needed it.

Sorry for the nii san, but I always watch anime with the original voice and English subs. (I really don't like English dubs, nor Hungarian by the way. ) And Al is so cute when he says nii san :D And that sounds so meaningful, with different feelings. I always hear the sound when I write down nii san. (Yes I'm perfectly sane, thank you. At least as sane as you;) ) So I can't say just "brother", because I feel like that doesn't give back the special bond between the two. I really can't explain well, can I? So sorry for the stammering. Al won't have many appearances by the way.

Next chapter on Friday or Saturday with an angry Roy and a long night…
