CHAPTER 6
I walked into my former office to gather some files on Edward. As I rounded the desk and began rummaging the drawers, Riza stepped into the room.
“Sir, I have some messages to relay to you. Alphonse is getting married to Winry and they want you to attend. There is also the-” I cut her off.
“What the hell was that phone call about?” I demanded. I slammed my fist on the desk for emphasis.
“Alphonse is getting-” I cut her off again.
“You called me and said you had something I wanted. What is it?” I stated in a firm voice.
“Sir, I did not call you. I respect what you do when you’re away, so I don’t call you incase you’re in the middle of something important.” She replied with her professional voice.
“Don’t play games with me Riza, you know I am very busy as of late and I need to get back to work. What is it that you have?” I was getting frustrated.
“Roy Mustang, I have not called you since you left our room.” She replied, sounding equally frustrated.
Havoc stepped in, “Roy, someone up front wants to see you. It’s really important.”
“Who is it?” I asked.
“She said her name was Panako, does it ring a bell?” He replied.
“Tell her I’ll be there in a minute.” I said. ‘Why is Panako here? She hates the military.’
“We’ll continue this later Riza.” I said as I began rummaging through the drawers again. I finally found the switch that opened a small compartment where I kept some of Edward’s belongings. These belongings were things such as pieces of his coat, stray hairs, hair ties, and scrap letters he never sent out. I quickly retrieved the file from under all the objects and closed it promptly.
“Sir, I know what you’re planning…and I want a divorce. I don’t want anything of yours except some money to get started again.” She said in a small voice.
I looked at her, “Have the paperwork on my desk in the study and I’ll get to it when I can.” I replied in my cool voice I always used.
“Sir.” She replied with a nod.
I could see tears in her eyes.
I walked down the hall and turned to Havoc’s desk where Panako was patiently waiting. I smiled and walked over to her.
“Good to see you this morning Panako, what brings you all the way to Central today?”
She grunted, “Where is that idiot pipsqueak? He took a train out here a week ago and I haven’t heard from him since.”
I winced when she called Edward a pipsqueak, “Fullmetal took a train to Central? Why?”
“Why do you think?” She pointed her pipe at me. “Look, I love him like a son, so if you would, please, look for him? I promised Trisha I would watch after them both, and Alphonse is marrying my granddaughter. I know he’s all right. It’s Edward I’m worried about.” She took a puff from her pipe.
“I had no idea he was missing, but a few days ago I heard he was on a train to Dubluth. Have you spoken with their teacher Izumi?” I asked worriedly.
“I didn’t think he would go there again, but I suppose it makes perfect sense. She was like a mother to those boys when they were living with her,” she looked around the walls, “I’m not going to live forever you know. Call me when you find that brat so I knock a little sense into his head, all right?” She patted my shoulder and walked out of headquarters.
When I heard the door close I returned to where I left Riza, “Where did you put him?”
She looked at me, “Who, Sir?”
“All right Riza, what do you want? The house? Money? My estate?” I confronted her.
“What are you talking about?” She asked me. She was genuinely confused, or so it appeared.
“Where have you put Edward?” I asked with more anger than I should have.
“I haven’t seen Edward since he left for the gate.” She stated coldly. I could see her disgust as she said his name.
“I’ll be home tonight to sign those papers and give you your money, and Edward better be there.” I stated coldly.
I stormed out of Central and ran to the train station demanding for the first train to Dubluth.
“We’re sorry, Sir, but the first train out is in the morning.” The man in the booth replied.
I was so frustrated that I couldn’t stand myself. I slammed my fists down on the booth and stormed away. ‘Where could he be?’
I was walking in such frustration that I didn’t notice her voice at first. Then she screamed, and I knew it could be no one else.
“Roy Mustang where the fuck is Edward!?!” Izumi shrieked.
“You mean he’s not with you? I was about to call-” She cut me off
“He’s been gone since yesterday morning, and I thought he jumped a train to come see your sorry ass! Is he here or not!?!” She was very angry
“I haven’t seen him or I would gladly tell you of his location.” I retorted.
“Where ever he is, he has my baby with him.” Izumi stated.
Her voice had a hint of sadness in it, which formed a lump in my throat. I missed Edward Elric, and I needed to hold him in my arms again.
“Where could he have gone?” I asked.
Izumi shook her head, “Your guess is as good as mine.”
I sighed. “I’m going back home. Where will you two be staying?” I nodded that last bit at Sig.
“The hotels here are high, but we have no choice.” She replied.
“Stay with me, I have room.” I said without thinking.
We walked in silence to my home.
