I'm tied to a chair in an interrogation room; having already been tested if I was drunk or not. Great, now I'm going to be thrown in prison and won't be able to figure out anything! And the best part, Mustang's the one trying to grill me for answers. Pay attention to the word 'try' in that sentence. I haven't said anything, cause whatever I'm going to say will probably get me more in trouble. And it helps when I don't like Mustang that much.
"Why were you in here?" He asks me sternly, his eyes cold. I look at him with a blank expression. Not working, Sparky.
"What's your name?" He tries again, still not getting anywhere with me.
"What are these devices in your bag for?" Still not working, Sparky. But if you want to mess around with them I'm going to kill you.
"Why do you have a State Alchemist watch?" Not speaking to you. He asks about fifty or something questions. But, finally, he gives up, throwing his arms up in defeat and sighing irately. He orders a couple of guards to take me to a cell until further instruction.
Once there, it smells horrible; don't they ever clean this place?! It was mostly bare, only a bed stood on the back wall and that was pretty much it. At least he lets me keep my bag! But guess who he assigns to watch me…Havoc. I get out my iPad and start playing Slender Man. Hey, I don't have anything better to do!
"What is that?" Havoc asks, sitting on a small stool while watching me. When I say watching me, more like reading the newspaper. I look up at him from the far wall. Should I answer him? Or should I ignore him like Mustang?
"An IPad." I reply simply.
"And what does an IPad do?"
"Well, you can play different types of games on it, listen to music, and take pictures." It probably wasn't the best idea to introduce the IPad to this world…whoops.
"So you can talk." He grins at me, setting his newspaper down. Oh great, a conversation starter… "What's your name?"
"That's classified information." He chuckles. Oh brilliant, this is going to be delightful…

"Why do we have to come in now?" I moan as I walk up the stairs with Al.
"Maybe it's an emergency?" Al resonates, trying to calm my nerves.
"So what?! We should be in East City by now!" I yell, entering the large building. Inside, people were running all over the place. Something major happened here. There were even some stretchers with people on them being carried away. And they looked…burnt? An explosion of some sort?
"What happened?" Al questions while looking around like I was.
"Hey!" I look over to see Mustang walking up to us. Great…
"What the hell do you want!?" I yell at him, irritated.
"Brother…" Al warns me.
"I need you to check something out for us." He says and starts to walk away. "About an hour ago, we were pursuing a girl that snuck in here without authorization. Once one of the guards caught her, she blew the place up. But we have no idea how she did it. So I want you to look over the scene as an alchemist."
"Why can't you do it!" I screech at him.
"Because you might notice something that I would." he snaps. We arrive at the fifth floor, and the whole place is a mess. It's a miracle that the place was still standing! The hallway was littered with debris. But in the center, a huge circle was blown into the surrounding area. I walk around the perimeter looking for any clues. Then I examine the ground closely. "By the way, she was running when she did this. And she didn't even touch the wall or anything with her hands.
"This is alchemy…" I pronounce, seeing the rectangular pattern etched in the ground.
"But how could she be able to do that, brother?" Al asks me. I sit back in my crouching position and think. There was only one answer to this. I give Al a knowing look.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I smirk at him for the possible chance of restoring his body. His soul eyes slightly widen, and I smile bigger. "Mustang, where is this girl? I want to talk to her right away."

This was torture. Havoc wouldn't shut up. Even when he wasn't asking me questions he still ran his mouth about an ex-girlfriend or something. And I thought I was bad when I was asking Kate about my stories! I finally resorted to plugging my headphones in and listen to Imagine Dragons; turning up the volume to max. It was comical to watch him. Sometimes the lyrics would match his lip flapping so it looks like he was singing. So I try to imagine him singing these songs for real on stage. Yeah, it kept me entertained.
That is, till soldiers came. I took out my earbuds and stand up from my current sitting position, which was laying on my stomach and watching Havoc. Stuffing my things in my bag and slinging it over my shoulders; I listen to what the soldiers had to say.
"We have orders to take her out for more interrogation. Please step aside." One of the soldiers says as Havoc stood back. He unlocks my cell; hand cuffs me, takes my bag away, and escorts me out. Havoc winks as I walk past him.
"Nice talking with ya!" He says, with a dim-witted smile. I roll my eyes as I walk in the center of the group. Why do they need to question me more? Haven't I made myself clear that I wasn't going to talk?! I can't sit through another lecture with Mustang! I'm going to rip his eyes out and stuff them down his throat!
But Mustang wasn't waiting for me.
The Elrics were.
The Elrics… Give me a minute…I stop at the door taken aback. What were they doing here!? Al sort of waves at me, seeing my expression and trying to make the situation more comfortable. Bless his soul! Ed just glares, arms crossed and feet resting on the table. Should've known… I take the seat across from them, setting my hands in my lap and slouching in my chair. At least I don't have to look for them any more…
"How the hell did you blow up the hallway?" Edward asks sternly, clearly not wanting to be here but at the same time he does. I scowl at the table, not talking. Alphonse gives a go at it.
"What my brother is trying to ask is how did you blow up the hallway using alchemy?" My eyes snap up at them. So the stone did have something to do with alchemy after all! At least I'm getting somewhere! And I haven't even talked to them yet! I still won't say a word to them.
"Talk, damn it!" Ed yells at me. I flinch in my seat and resume staring at the table, thinking. So maybe the stone was somehow related to the Philosophers Stone? But does that mean that it's full of souls?
"Brother, maybe she's mute." Alphonse reasons with him, trying his best to calm him down. Why thank you Al, haven't thought of that yet. I point to him while shaking my head, trying to get my message across. "So you are mute?" I shake my head again.
"So what! Just get her a piece of paper and a pencil!" Ed exclaims, throwing the said supplies in front of me. I look down at the materials, then back up to them shrugging my shoulders.
"You can't write?" Al asks me as I shake my head. Man, maybe that careers test I took was right, I can act pretty well. I can totally make a career out of this! Ed storms out of the room, having enough of me. Al bows towards my direction while apologizing about Ed's behavior. Then the soldiers come back and take me to my cell. I just hope Havoc isn't there anymore.
(Ed)
Stubborn girl! I will make her talk! I don't believe the whole Mute act she's keeping up. But why did she look like she learned something new when we asked her if she used alchemy? Did she not know she used it? Something in her eyes and how she acted in that moment when I Alphonse mentioned alchemy set it off. What is she hiding? And what was with her eyes? Her left eye was normal, but the right was slightly different. The pupil was like a cat, a long diamond (that looked like a fragment of a jewel or something) running horizontally across her iris. What's with that!? I slam the door open to Mustangs office, since the guards told me he wanted to see me.
"What do you want now!?"I growl at him, standing in front of his desk, ticked off, "Because of you, we had to change trains! Do you know how much pain the in a-"
"Shut up, I have a small assignment for you." He silences me, but I open my mouth to give him a piece of my mind. "But this you can take with you where ever you're going." An assignment that I can carry around, easy enough.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to watch that girl, which I found out her name is Bree."
"WHAT! No way! I'm not babysitting some chick!" I scream at him.
"She could be a potential threat to the country! Or she could be working for one of our enemies. I want you to find out more about her because I've looked through all of our citizen files. And there's nobody that matches her description." He explains coolly to me.
"Argh! This sucks! Fine! But you have to give her money out of your own pocket! I ain't paying for her!" He sighs in frustration at my deal. But I was curious about her. I'm going to find out her secret one way or another!
"Fine, just go get her. Dismissed." He hisses. I smirk at this, glad that I irritated him somewhat.
A/N: So the Elrics are finally here! XD YEAH! So did get the characters right? I suck at people that i don't make up :p
