Here to help (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

New enemies

We walked out of Central and went to a nearby inn for the night. I walk into my room and strip my clothes off, placing my new, favorite, nightgown on.

I lay on the soft mattress and cross my arms behind my head. Staring up at the ceiling as my mind wonders off. I sigh and close my eyes. My mother may be dead, yet, I know that she is still a part of my life. Alive or not, she's with me in heart.

I smile before drifting off to sleep. Which was pretty easy considering the day I've had.

I woke up earlier than I usually do. I sit up and rub my eyes. When I fully stand up, I take a quick shower and change into my clothes. I make sure to pick up everything that's mine before walking out into the hall. I knock on Ed and Al's door, which was conveniently right next to mine.

I hear Al's muffles voice telling me to come in. I walk in and see Al sitting down beside the wall, reading. Ed still asleep.

"Morning Al."

He nods and tells me good morning before looking over at Ed's sleeping body. I smile and check the clock that was on the small table beside Ed's bed.

'8:52'.

"Still kind of early. Let-," I was interrupted by Ed abruptly sitting up, panting.

"Brother," Al worriedly glanced at Ed. "Are you alright?"

Ed looks over at us, still panting. His wide eyes close and he bows his head down while sighing.

"Must've had a nightmare," I make a small smile, yet it goes unnoticed by Ed. Al continues looking at him while I sigh.

I walk over to Ed and smack his head lightly. Causing him to look up at me with a small glare. He looks away with eyes closed, yet afterwards smiles.

"Right," Ed looks up at me with a blunt expression. "Now get out. I need to change."

"Yes sir," I roll my eyes.

Once he was finished, we returned the keys and made our way to Central. It was raining, so we ran, but we're still wet.

Inside, we made our way to Hawkeye's office. Ed was about to knock, but he hesitated. "Ed? Wh-," I was interrupted by Hawkeye opening the door. Her eyes go wide with surprise.

"What's the matter you guys? You're up earlier than usual."

"We...need to know. What's going to happen to Tucker and Nina," Hawkeye's eyes go wide once again.

"Mr. Tucker was scheduled to be stripped of his certification and stand trial for what he did to Nina."

"Was?," I furrow my brows. What does she mean by 'was'.

Hawkeye's eyes closed as she looked down. "They're both dead."

"Dead?!," came Al's shocked response.

"What," my eyes widen. How did they die? Did Tucker do it to himself because of what he did to Nina?

"You'll find out anyways, so I might as well tell you," Hawkeye walks off, adjusting her coat. "They've been murdered."

"How? By who?," we go after her.

"We don't know," she continues walking. "I'm heading over to the scene now."

"We're coming with you," I nod at Al's response.

"No."

"Why not?," Came Ed and I response. We deserve to know also. Nina. She was important to us.
