Bonus Chapter

During the Bradley Administration, Col. Mustang assigned the Elric brothers with his men to investigate about the smuggling of weapons in the East City.

"Ahh!!! Why do we have to involve ourselves with this? We won't be able to find anything that has something to do about Philosopher's stone with this investigation.," Edward said with irritation. "When we're done with this, I'll just smash the face of that Colonel using my right hand. That's enough for a reward."

"Brother please calm down. Alchemy is for the people and state alchemist is for his country.," Al said. "I've heard that 2nd Lt. Havoc will be here to meet us, where is he?"

They waited outside of a cafeteria.

"Hey there kid! Hi Al!," a guy with a tobacco on his mouth greeted.

"Good morning 2nd Lt. Havoc!," Al bowed his head politely.

"And where are we heading to?," Ed asked.

"Just get in the car and I'll give you the information you need."

........

"So even Lt. General Grumman will give us a hand for this mission? Why?," Al asked in surprise.

"This mission is really important for the nation I suppose.," Ed replied.

"Since its been a long and tiring day, we will be staying at the second home of the General.," 2nd Lt. Havoc said.

"A second home instead of an inn?," Ed asked.

"Yes, we're heading there to meet his wife."

"His wife?," the Elric brothers said in shocked.

They look at each other.

'I can't believe he has a wife.,' Al said in his mind.

'That geezer, unbelievable!,' in Ed's mind.

"Hahahaha I can read your mind guys. That reaction is same as mine when I was approached by that information."

........

"So here we go, welcome to the Grumman's mansion!!!," 2nd Lt. Havoc stated.

"Woah!!!," the two were amazed of its elegance.

"This house is too big, isn't it?," said Havoc.

And a butler came out of the house, "Welcome everyone! You two are the Elric Brothers, right?," he looked at Al, "Oh! You must be the Full Metal Alchemist!? Please to meet you!"

A nerve pop up at Ed's head.

"Im sorry Mister but I'm not the Full Metal Alchemist, Sir, I'm Alphonse Elric, younger brother of the state alchemist," he pointed his finger at Ed, "he is the Full Metal Alchemist."

"Oh I'm sorry!!!," he turned to face Edward and greeted him as well as Havoc.

The butler escorted them to go and meet Lt. Gen. Grumman. While walking to the hallway, they've noticed a familiar face in a portrait. Havoc and the Elric brothers gasp with whom they saw.

"Isn't she the 1st Lt. Hawkeye?," Ed said with amusement.

"Oh!!!," Havoc expressed.

The butler noticed them. "She's the only daughter of the Grummans.," he explained.

"She's Elizabeth Grumman. She died long time ago so I guess she's not whom you're thinking."

They were surprised by the voice of a woman that came out of nowhere. Then, an aged woman came out.
