Roy couldn't say he was expecting this many people. He himself only wanted to bring Hawkeye, Havoc, Furey, and Ed.
However, there were more people present and the back of the car driven by Havoc felt crowded.
„Hey, I had to tell Al! You had to know we come as a package deal!” Edward answered to unspoken accusation in Roy's gaze.
„Yes, I was expecting that but did you have to tell Lieutenant Colonel Ross and Ms. Rockbell too?”
„You know Winry,” He glared in her direction „she has to know everything.”
„It's your own fault for wearing your heart on your sleeve!” Winry said to Edward and then turned to Roy „And it has been Rockbell-Thomas for over ten years, for your information, General.”
Ross sighed „I was informed about this unofficial mission three times, by Edward, Alphonse, and Major Armstrong. I had to come or I would have been dragged on it by force.”
Roy could only nod at the truth in those words and went back to glaring at Edward.
„She's my stepmother and she used to work with Hughes! Not telling her would have been rude!” Edward argued.
„And him?” Roy looked at Denny Brosh.
„He goes everywhere I go, sir.” Maria Ross answered.
He couldn't believe it, not only did she have Hughes' old position, but she also had her own discount Hawkeye. His eyes then drifted to Sheska and then went back to glaring at Edward.
„Why do you think I'm some kind of backwater town gossiping spinster? I know nothing about this!”
„But brother, that's what you are,” Alphonse said with a smirk.
„I'm not a spinster! I'm young! Mustang is the spinster!”
„Hey!”
„For your information, you're all horrible!” Winry exclaimed „We're here on an important mission and you're bickering like children! And Edward didn't invite Sheska. I did! She deserves to know what's going on and I need an assistant. ...And neither of you are spinsters, you're men.”
Roy really wanted to jump out of the car „I hope you're aware, this reunion won't be a piece of cake and this mission is dangerous.”
„Yes, I know, General. Don't worry, I read plenty of action books and military reports to know what to expect.”
