"Riza, Riza. . . ." she heard a voice chuckling in the background. She still couldn't see all that well. "Did you honestly believe that you were going to be safe from me?" the voice once again taunted. She knew exactly who was talking to her at this point.

"What do you want with me, Kimblee?"

"What do I want with you? Don't tell me that you have forgotten." Kimblee sneered. "I'm going to kill you, little miss sharp shooter."

"Why?"

"I guess I must have give you too much drugs then. Very well I'll just have to refresh your memory." Kimblee was having too much fun with this. "You were the one who put me in that rat hole prison for all these years. If it wasn't for you nobody would have ever found out that what I did." he reached down and roughly grabbed her face. "But you had to go and open that big mouth of yours!" Kimblee took a few seconds to calm back down. "No matter you will soon be dead." He tossed her back, and stood back to his full height. He then walked over the wall and messed with something that Riza could not see.

"Farewell, little miss sharpshooter. I'll see you in hell." With those parting words, Kimblee headed out of the door.

Roy had looked in almost every possible place he could think to find Riza. She was nowhere to be found, and he was running out of time. He knew Kimblee would kill her off quickly. That was his method. He could not lose her.

Roy continued his search. He asked everybody along his way if they had seen either Riza or Kimblee, and then proceeded to describe the two. Every time he got the same results, nobody had seen them. Until he arrived at a tavern at the northern edge of Central. The bar tender there had seen a man and woman, both fitting Roy's descriptions, heading out of the city the night before. Roy thanked the man, and quickly continued on his way. He just hoped that Riza was till alive.

Riza struggled against her bonds. She was starting to get her wits back, but that did not solve her problems. A few minutes ago, she had begun to hear a faint ticking in the background that was gradually picking up volume. It soon clicked to Riza as to what the noise was. Kimblee was going to blow the small shack up. It was just like him to blow something up. It was effective, and it erased all evidence. She struggled a few more minutes before finally giving up. There was no way she was going to free herself in time. She had to think of another way of escape. The ticking increased again. Riza looked around the room. There was a small closet. That would have to do. Hopefully it would hold up to an explosion.

Roy had looked inside every small crack since leaving Central. Where could Riza be? His eyes settled on a small shack about half a mile up the road. That was it. Riza had to be there. Roy ran with all his might up the road, but a sudden deafening roar was heard straight up ahead followed by a colorful display that would lead a small child to believe it was a celebration. Not Roy. Far from it. His heart skipped a beat. No way. There was no way this was happening. Damnit! Roy ran even faster. He had to confirm that his fears were wrong. There was no way that Riza was dead.

As soon as Roy reached the rumble, he began digging through, not caring that burnt debris was charring his hands. He had to find her. After a few agonizing minutes of false hope. Roy spotted that golden hair he knew all too well. He dug even faster. Roy pulled her out. She was unconscious, and had multiple burns and broken bones. He placed his hand on her neck, but his hand was too shaky to tell if she still had a pulse. She couldn't die, she just couldn't.

"Damnit, Riza! Don't die on me!" Roy's eyes began to water. "Don't leave me. I. . .I can't live with out you. . .Riza." Roy brushed Riza's hair out of her face, and dusted off some of the soot. "I love you Riza. I'm such an idiot. I don't know why it has taken me this long to realize that you are the only woman that I will ever love." Roy cradled her close to his chest, and cried into the night. "Please. . . .don't leave" Roy begged.

Roy didn't believe in a god, but after that moment, when he felt the slightest intake of breath from Riza, he believed that there was somebody up there.

"Riza, Riza!" Roy pulled away from his chest put her head on his lap. Riza's eyes fluttered, and she gently reached up her hand. Roy took it and cradled it against his cheek. He had never been so happy to see those beautiful eyes looking at him. She smiled at him. There was that smile he fell in love with so many years ago.

"I love you too, Roy." Riza whispered. Roy smiled, and gently leaned in carefully touched his lips to hers. He had been waiting for this moment for years, so had Riza. Roy pulled his lips away, and gently pulled Riza up and held her.

"Don't ever leave me, Riza."

"I would never leave the man I love, Roy." This time Riza reached up and kissed Roy.
