I walked into Roy's office and sat at my desk.

"Good morning, Lieutenant." He smiled to himself.

I looked up. "Good morning, Colonel. Did you sleep well?"

"I would've slept better if-" He stopped talking as Lieutenant Havoc walked in. They greeted each other and I spoke again.

"I've noticed some sketchy people around town lately, people I haven't seen before."

Roy looked up. "Describe them please."

"I didn't get a good look at him but somebody has been creeping around my apartment, it makes Black Hayate go crazy. I think I saw him yesterday when we were- um- talking outside my apartment. He was standing in the alley across the street." It made me nervous to talk about, of course I could protect myself but a stalker? That could mean all sorts of things for the military

"How many times have you seen this guy?" He asked.

"Yesterday, and tonight. I would've gone out and took care of it but he ran off pretty quick. It was somewhere around 3:30." I yawned. "I didn't sleep much after that."

"Would you like me to walk you home?" He raised an eyebrow and clasped his hands together.

"That would be nice but it isn't necessary, sir." The other lieutenants were listening and I don't want to hint anything between Roy and I. They've heard enough.

"Lieutenant, you don't have to act so tough all the time, I feel like it would be for the best, I might catch a glimpse of this guy and I don't want you getting hurt." He shot the other men a glare and they stopped staring at him but started gossiping amongst themselves.

"If you insist." I smiled and looked down at the paper work on my desk then picked up a letter, To: Roy Mustang. "This is for you, sir." I handed Roy the paper and when he read the signature at the bottom he gasped, standing up quickly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"It said Scar is planning to ambush HQ within the next 24 hours. This arrived yesterday." He started barking orders but he was cut off by the sound of an explosion.

The ground below us rumbled and I lost balance, falling into Roy's arms. "We need to get down there, now!" He yelled which was followed by us all saying "Yes, sir!".

We all ran down the hallway to the entrance where we found that the stairs were broken. "How are we supposed to-" Lieutenant Fuery began to ask.

"Ah, the Flame Alchemist. I've been waiting for you." Scar said from below. Dead bodies littered the floor everywhere, all with their brains spilled out. He slammed his hand into the ground and the next thing I knew the ground below us was caving in, we all started screaming and clung to one another.

As soon as I landed I was focused on getting Roy to his feet. I knew that if Scar got ahold of him he'd end up just like everybody in this room and I couldn't stand by and watch that happen.

"Get away from him, girl, or end up like these men." I ignored him and stood my ground, pulling out my gun and standing by the Colonel as he got his ignition gloves.

I cocked my gun and yelled, "Shoot!" At the other men. We began firing rounds at him missing every shot, damn. He's too fast, even for me.

Roy snapped his fingers and emit a series of flames but his efforts were worthless, as he missed just like the rest of us.

Scar lunged at Roy and I pushed him out of the way, firing several rounds and hitting Scar in the ribs so instead of hurting me he was too busy clutching his torso. He fell to the ground and while Fuery was calling backup we were all trying to hold him down while hopefully a prison car would pick him up. Though I don't know if we'll be able to contain him for that long.

Breda and Falman were holding down his tattooed arm while I was holding down the rest of his upper body and Roy was at his legs.

"O-Okay! The car should be here in 10 minutes." Fuery said.

"10 minutes?!" We shouted in unison.

"Where the hell is Fullmetal when I need him." Roy grumbled.

"Oh, he'll be taken care of next." Scar smirked.

"You have the right to remain silent!" I shouted. I was straddling his upper body and my lower body was pressed down on his bullet wounds, that's gonna be am interestingly placed blood stain.

"Look, I get that you're just doing your job, but if you make me, I'll be forced to ruin that pretty face." Scar grumbled.

"Quiet!" Roy yelled.

"I refuse to take orders from you, scum of the Earth, Alchemists." He suddenly jerked his arm that I was holding upwards causing me to almost loose my balance. "Fuery! Quit watching outside for a second and help me!" Scar grabbed my arm and threw me off to the side.

I yelped as I collided with the ground and Fuery took my place, holding him down.

I helped Lieutenant Fuery hold down his other arm for the remainder of the time until the other men burst into the door. I let out a sigh of relief as they shackled his hands and feet before several men escorted him into the back of the van.

"I'll be back for you!" He yelled as they shut the doors and drove off.

Roy looked around the room at all the bodies. "Breda, call somebody to clean up this mess." He ordered.

"Yes, sir." He ran to the phones and the rest of us stood waiting for someone to show up.
