"What could you possibly help me with, after the cluster-fuck you've caused?" Roy sneered. He was furious beyond words. He was about ready to burn the man until all that was left were some smoldering shoes. Wagner could sense the anger, causing him to shift his weight awkwardly. He stammered as he spoke.

"I-I mean I can call him back…Tell him we're moving somewhere else. He'd believe me, and we could jump him! But you have to promise me something." He ventured boldly.

"What favor do you think I owe you?" Mustang scoffed, "You endangered EVERYONE in this cabin! I could burn you to a crisp for the crime of conspiracy to murder a state alchemist!"

"You need to promise me that you'll help me protect my family! I wouldn't have helped this sick bastard if he didn't have a gun to the heads of my wife and daughter!" He cried. Roy felt a bit of sympathy for the nurse; enough so, that he would play along.

"Well, tell me what you know, and I'll see what I can do." Frank punched an impressive hole in the wall.

"That's not good enough!" He was trembling in a mixture of anger and worry. His fist was still in the hole he put in Roy's wall. Roy walked over to the man, helped him pull his fist from the wall, and looked him in the face.

"Francis. I promise you, I will find your family, but you have to meet me half-way," he reasoned. Francis sighed and rubbed his hand.

"I know where they are. They're in a warehouse on the corner of Stellman Avenue and Friedman Boulevard. Yoki told me that if he sees me or any military personnel, my family is dead. They're armed to the teeth and I don't know how to get in!" he wailed. He became angry when Roy smirked.

"What the hell are you smiling at? I don't know what you plan to do, because that warehouse is a fucking fortress!"

"I know just the guy." Roy said simply. He turned on his heels and walked to the kitchen. He grabbed the receiver and dialed 2nd lieutenant Havoc.

"Havoc." A voice echoed through the phone.

"Havoc, let Hawkeye bring the weapons. I have a more interesting assignment for you." Roy chirped almost excitedly.

"Lay it on me, boss." Roy was pleased that his subordinate was so eager for some action.

"Get Armstrong and go to the warehouse on Stellman and Friedman. Two civilians are being held hostage by very dangerous, well-armed men. Use the major as a distraction and get them out. Do it now, Lieutenant."

"Yes sir!" the line clicked and Havoc was on the move. Roy placed the receiver down and walked into the hallway where the nurse still stood.

"Taken care of, Corporal. Make the call." Wagner nodded slowly with a small smile and raced into the kitchen. He reluctantly called Yoki. The line rang four times before the little shit answered.

"Wagner, I swear to god, this had better be good news. I was going out the door to kill the fullmetal alchemist." Wagner gulped. Yoki was going to kill Ed himself? Scary.

"Um…I have news. Everyone became nervous and they're moving out. I don't know where yet, but I'll call you again as soon as we're there. Please don't hurt them!" He begged. Yoki laughed at the other end.

"If you waste any more of my time, I can make no guarantees." Yoki hung up before Frank could protest. He fell to his knees, ignoring the sharp pain in his foot. He sobbed uncontrollably.

"Fullmetal, we're moving out." Mustang stated. Ed glared at him and gestured towards the sleeping boy next to him. Mustang hushed himself and got closer to Ed's ear.

"Wagner called Yoki back and told him we were leaving and he didn't know where we were going. So we have some time. Havoc is going to get Frank's wife and little girl out before we sweep in…How long has he been out?" he pointed at a sleeping Alphonse.

Ed cocked his head to one side before realizing what he was talking about.

"Oh, about an hour…do we have to wake him up?" Roy nodded sadly and Ed shook Al's shoulder. "Hey buddy, time to get up."

Al blinked a few times before sitting up, rubbing his eyes. Roy smiled at the adorable sight of the corduroy lines on his face from how hard his face was pressed against Ed's shirt. Al looked confused. He had forgotten that he fell asleep while talking to Ed. He felt a bit embarrassed that he fell asleep and woke up to Ed and Roy looking down at him. He looked away from them to rub his eyes more. Ed couldn't wait to finally get the poor kid back home, where he felt safe. Ed broke from this thought when the boy spoke, still a bit groggy.

"Whazz going on, brother? I was having an awesome dream." Ed smirked and whispered in his ear.

"Was it about Winry?" Al's cheeks turned very red. Apparently, Ed was spot on. Mustang heard what Ed said and joined Ed in a good chuckle. Al demanded that they stop teasing him. Ed smacked his brother on the back and led him to their room to repack their things.

Everyone had packed their things and Maes was about to bring his family and Winry to a hotel. They had tried to get Al to go with them, but the boy refused. He insisted that Ed would be safer with him around. The group discussed this and came to the conclusion that it was only okay if he stayed with Doctor Wilkes and if shots are fired, he was to hide under the seat of his car. Al agreed, but insisted that no one is to die. Winry didn't like this idea in the slightest and burst into tears when she heard that Al was staying with the others. She held him for the longest time before she kissed him on the cheek.

"Alphonse Elric, if anything happens, you are to hide at once. Do you understand?" The boy nodded. "Not good enough. repeat it back to me, Al!"

"I promise, Win." He smiled his best smile and kissed her on the cheek in goodbye. As soon as he did, Hughes took a picture. Al was flustered by this and Winry could only laugh. She got into the car and watched the brothers as Maes started the engine. As soon as they turned the corner, Hughes stopped the car. She looked at the driver and saw his kind smile.

"You want to stay with them, don't you?" Her puzzled look only lasted for a second before the look changed into one of determination. She nodded sharply and Maes threw the car in reverse. Hughes shoved a revolver in her hands and wished her good luck. She got out and shoved the weapon in her tool belt. The group looked a bit confused as she approached and her ride drove away.

"I'm going with you."
