EDWARD

Ed turned to Winry, "Uhh, yeah...about what?" He asked as he began walking out of the office. What is her problem now?

[emelie]

Winrey:
She took him outside into the hall so no one could hear her. "Ed I think you should stay here instead of going to Lior. When you were gone, Mr. Tucker started acting really bizarre. When we first showed up there, I heard him talking to someone in office but when I got there , no one was there. Then he just started acting really bizarre and jumpy around me. On top of that, he took Nina and Alexander just to get milk or but then never returned. That's why Al and I came here looking for you. Maybe we should go looking for him or something."

[AG]

Ed looked surprised at what Winry had been telling him. "Really?" He asked. This was worth checking out to him. "Maybe you're right...I should stay and check this out." He turned to Mustang, "Looks like you will need to go on this mission without me...I need to check something out here." He said to Mustang.

HAVOC;

Havoc jumped up as soon as he heard the Colonel saying that they were going to move. 'finally so action!' he thought to himself. Mustang had said to get into normal clothes, so Havoc ran to his desk in the next room taking out a pair of pants. Quickly running into the bathroom to change.

ROSE;
Rose sighned, they were finally going to go back to Liore, she suddenly felt really nervous, 'i wonder what state its in when i get there' she said to her self, fighting back any signs that she was upset. she looked back at Ed, and whispered to him 'im nevrvous Ed, did it look the same?'

HAVOC;
Havoc ran out of the bathroom after the quickest change in history. Panting like he had jus ran a marathon came back into the room, saluting Mustang. 'so chief when we off!'

[sweetdaddymustang]

"Oh thats alright Ed,I'm sure we wouldent need you anyway."Mustang walked out of the other room with a white dress shirt,black pants,a watch,and italian shoes."We should probly be going now If we want to catch this guy in the act.I don't want anymore civilain casualities.Everyone got that."without hearing a response he said."Good,well then lets be on our way."

[AG]

Ed followed Roy, "What was that supposed to mean Mustang?" He exclaimed to the colonel. "Are still saying I am too short to go? Is that it?" He yelled getting more and more angry with each word.

[chess]

HAVOC;
Havoc went along with the crowd, he looked down and saw Rose walking next to him. she looked nervous. 'so erm its Rose isn't it? whats up?' he asked

ROSE;
She looked up at the Lt he hadnt said much to her before so this came as a shock. 'erm yes it is Rose, nothings wrong I jus want to go home thats all' she lied she didnt want him knowing anymore he wasnt who Father Cornello had asked for.

[sweetdaddymustang]

"No,nothing like that,but now that you mention it I havent made a short joke all day."He put his hand on his chin and thought quietly."Okay,your so short...that...you...,I think I'm out of jokes but still you can't join.Don't worry I'll have more short jokes when I come back,see you soon."Roy walked away with a smirk on his face.

[AG]

EDWARD

Ed was filled with rage as Mustang talked. "Damn it Roy Mustang!" He exploded. "I am so tired of all these short jokes...you make fun of my height even when you run out of jokes!" He yelled as he stomped off.

HUGHES

Hughes approached Mustang, "Roy, I am not sure that was the best way to handle that situation." He lectured. He watched Ed leave, "Then again, walking up to him now would be a mistake as well." He said as he decided not to chase after him.

[emelie]

Winrey followed after Ed. When she caught up to him she asked him, "Ed what are we going to do? We don't even know where Tucker went."

[AG]

EDWARD

Ed turned to Winry, "Umm, well, we can go to his house and see if he is there." He said to Winry. "Other then that, walk around Central." He offered seeming it was hopeless.

[fayt]

Izumi watched with some amusement the scene that passed between Edward and the man they called Mustang. She was half way in the shadows when the group left the buildings so they didn't see her, but as they left she stepped out and watched as they left and Edward talked with Winrey.

[emelie]

Al:
Al caught up with Ed and Winrey.
"Brother, you don't think Tucker is going to do anything with those alchemy circles he was telling us about?" He gave Ed a worried look.

[AG]

EDWARD

Ed looked to his younger brother, "Maybe, but...he really didn't say much about them. Did he say more to you, Al?" He asked hoping to get some kind of information from him.

[otakugirl23]

Winry was getting restless. She just had a bad feeling that something was wrong, and that feeling worsened when Al mentioned circles...it seemed like it was taking forever for them to get out of there. She grabbed Ed by the arm and sped up her pace almost in a jog. "Come on Al!" She yelled over her shoulder.

[emelie]

Al:
"Not really, brother. He was acting really mysterious and wouldn't say much when ever I asked him a question. It was really bizarre."

[AG]

EDWARD

Ed was caught by surprise when he was grabbed by Winry. "Winry, we don't even know where Tucker is yet, can I just stop and think a minute?" He asked as he pulled away from her.

[fayt]

Izumi frowned when she heard Al and Ed talking about alchemic circles and walked toward them saying, "Edward, Alphonse, what are you going to do that involves transmutation circles and this Tucker person?" She crossed her arms, regarding her students.

[AG]

EDWARD

Ed looked up to his teacher, "to be honest, I am not sure myself." He said questioningly. He wasn't sure what to tell his teacher, though he knew that would make her angry. "We need to find him though. He has been acting rather mysterious about this circle." He said with determination.

[fayt]

"What kind of circle?" She asked, her eyebrow raised. She had the feeling that Ed and Al knew something she didn't and it worried her. Her students seemed to be magnets for trouble.
