Disclaimer: I do not own any fullmetal people, only James. enjoy chapter 2!
"What are you doing here?" Riza asked in total shock, she had not seen James since her academy years.
"I've just been transferred to Central." Riza gave him a big hug.
"Oh, its been too long James."
Mustang walked out of his office to see what the commotion was with Havoc trailing him chanting some new rhyme he invented. Roy turned the corner to see his lieutenant, no his girl friend hugging some stranger.
"What is going on here?" Roy demanded. Riza stepped back from James.
"This is my old friend James, Colonel. We went to the academy together. I haven't seen him since." Riza announced. Roy looked over this James.
"Well what is he doing here? This is not a place to visit, this is a military headquarter." Roy declared with as much authority as he could muster.
"I am lieutenant colonel James, sir, and I have just been transferred here to Central by the Fuhrer himself." James saluted Colonel Mustang and handed him his documentations. Roy snatched it out of James's hand. Sure enough the paper was signed by the Fuhrer.
"Well then you had better report to your commanding officer." Roy handed him the paper and walked back to his office.
"It says on my paper that I am to work under Colonel Roy Mustang." James said smugly. Roy froze in his tracks, slowly turned his head around, and stomped back over to James and Riza. Roy took the paper out of James's hand again, and sure enough his name was listed. Roy sighed.
"Lieutenant, show him to his work space." Riza snapped to attention.
"Yes sir!" She then turned back to James. "Follow me." Riza crossed the floor to an empty office about fifty feet away from her own desk. "This will be your office, sir. If you need any help getting settled in, just call for help."
"Thank you, Riza."
"Please sir, we are at work." Riza sighed, Roy had been doing the same thing recently.
"As you wish. . .lieutenant." James smiled at Riza before she headed back to her work space.
Roy plopped down at his desk and attempted to stare holes through the wall. Of all the transfers he had to get the one that liked his lieutenant! Havoc entered Roy's office to pick on him about Riza some more, but after seeing his colonel's glare, decided it was best he left the room quietly. Roy continued fuming for the next half hour until Riza entered his office.
"Sir, we have a situation." Riza saluted.
"What is it lieutenant." Roy's mood quickly turned professional.
"There has been a homunculus sighting here in Central." This caught Roy's attention.
"Does any body else in Central know about this yet?"
"Not yet, sir. Sergeant master Fuery was able to intercept the transmission before it reached headquarters."
"Very good. Call everybody to my office, lieutenant."
"Yes sir." Riza saluted and left Mustang's office. Riza returned five minutes later with Mustangs group.
"As lieutenant Hawkeye has informed all of you, there has been a homunculus sighting here in Central. We are going to attempt to capture this abomination to further discover it's motives. Any question?" Mustang paused, and when nobody raised their hand he carried on. "Sergeant Fuery, you will stay here and monitor the phone lines. Make sure nobody reports anything on our activity. Warrant Officer Falman, you will assist Sergeant Fuery. Lieutenants Havoc and Hawkeye are with me. Ok everybody move out." Roy declared.
"What about me, Colonel Mustang?" James asked snidely. He really knew how to push Roy's buttons. Roy sighed.
"I guess you can tag along too, lieutenant." Roy replied just as snidely, while staring James down. Riza rolled her eyes, and everybody left Colonel Mustang's office except for James. As soon as the group had left the office, James back tracked to Roy's desk, picked up the phone, and dialed. James looked around the office as the phone rang, making sure nobody came back in.
"Hello?" An anonymous voice answered the phone.
"The good Colonel fell for it." James smirked.
"Very good, be sure and play you part well, James. I have no tolerance for failure."
