In Your Arms (Edward Elric x Reader)

Chapter Twenty Two

((A/N: Gossshhh I can't even with school >.< 

I'm sad to say that I can't be as active as I want to on Wattpad as I used to be. Especially when you're in a gifted class and get work 24/7, it's hard to do anything anymore.

But, now that I'm on Christmas break for two weeks, I can at least get 4 more chapters out! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving (Even though its almost Christmas and I'm like a month late)!

It's been almost two years since I've joined, actually. I never thought I would make it this far! So I'd like to thank everyone. Every little comment that I get with a compliment on my book makes me smile so much. And everyone who wants to be friends with me, it makes me really happy. You guys are the best! 

Late Thanksgiving chapter cancelled, it's gonna be Christmas instead I guess. I'll mention it some in the chapter though. I'm really sorry! D:))

Shaking, you felt your lips move on your own, without even controlling them. "Please tell." 

Roy took one big sigh before saying anything.

"With lots of research by the military, we've got all sorts of records on him. His real name is Ryder Stone, and he's 27. He's been arrested a total of 15 times, with crimes of theft, murder, and attempted kidnappings. Most of his crimes were in Xing and Creta, and he's escaped every arrest. No matter how they handled him in the prison, he somehow always was able to escape. According to other sources, he works under an organization. The organization he works for is unknown, and there hasn't been any information about it released. However, I can say that we will be assigning people to take the case."

Ryder Stone? That name rang a bell. Where have you heard it before? In town? You couldn't remember, but you definitely have heard it before. 

".. Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it."

"Of course. And if any other information is found, I'll let you know."

You slightly smiled. "Thanks again. But I do have a request.."

"Yes?"

"Could.. could you assign Ed, Al, and I to a case involving him?"

".. That's fine. What would you like to take part in?"

"Finding him and getting information on his 'organization'." 

"Okay. I'll get you assigned today, and I'll let you know when we get any information on a location so you can start searching soon."

"Okay. Thank you, Mustang."

"No problem, Crimson Blood."

"Just call me (Y/N)."

"(Y/N).. Okay. I like that better than your title anyways."

He hung up the phone, and you slowly slid on to the couch and put your hands on your face. What you heard was unbelievable in a way, but it's not like you were expecting him to actually be a military officer. To actually be who he said he was. But even so, you still hoped. Even though you knew that he wasn't.. you hoped. And you still had hope in him. He protected you, and saved your life. He was a friend to you- and good or evil, you would find him and ask him the questions you needed to. You, Ed and Al were gonna find him. You had to.

"... (Y/N)?" You heard a voice from across the room, and quickly recognized it as Ed's. You quickly looked up, putting your hands back down. "Oh, hey Ed.." 

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I made breakfast if you were hungry."

"Did the phone ring? Why did you look upset?" He asked, as if he didn't even hear the word 'breakfast'. Why was he so worried about you today?
