When Mary had made it to the building. She went up to Roy’s office where she found that everyone had awoken and was bustling around the office. When she entered everyone stopped and was looking at her. When she saw them she gave them a blank and cold look and then entered Mustangs office that branched off the subordinate’s office space. She found Riza standing looking out the window with her back to Mary.
“So did you see the papers or did you eavesdrop?” Riza asked. ‘How had she known?’ Mary thought when she heard what the 1st lieutenant was asking.
“What's does he plan on doing?” Mary ordered. Causing Riza to turn around and look at her.
“It's more or less what you plan on doing don't you think?” Riza replied with a worried look on her face. ‘What the hell did she mean? God I have to get out of here’ Mary thought when she heard the answer. She turned and left the office noticing the faces of the people that had been listening to the conversation. She ran from the room and left the building heading into town. Just to get away.
Mary sat at the small café on the corner alone sipping at a large cup of black coffee. Racking her brain for any options she had. She could go back and find out what he was doing with those papers. Or she could hop a train and head to the North where she could take over her brother’s land, live in his mansion.
“What do I do? Where do I go from here?” Mary wondered out loud. Then lifted her head to look into the face of the person rude enough to answer the obviously rhetorical question.
“Well you could go back to the country” the man said peering over his sun glasses at Mary watching her face light up at the sight.
“Jacob? Is it you?” Mary asked when she recognized that unforgettable face. The boy sat down across from her and smiled at her.
“I have been wanting to see you since I heard what happened with your family. I’m so sorry” Jacob said. Jacob had been her best friend all of her life until he and his family moved to central when they were 14. Jacob always carried a guitar with him. And that hadn’t changed.
“Well it looks like I’m stuck here now. I have nowhere to go" Mary said in a dry tone. Causing Jacobs smile to drop.
“I heard. I found out this morning when the guy running things up there made a call to my mom, she is apart of investigations.” Jacob said
“I don’t know what I’m gonna do” Mary said wiping her forehead and leaning back in the chair.“That’s why I wanted to see you.”
“Why? Jacob what's on your mind?”
“I have been miserable here. And I know you have been too”
“What’s your point?”
“Run away with me” Jacob said smiling devilishly at his old friend

Back at HQ
“I’ll just grab my suitcases and then we’ll leave ok?” Mary said as she and Jacob walked towards HQ. She motioned for Jacob to stay where he was. When they separated and turned to walk the few yards left between. And saw Mustang and a few of possibly his burliest men approaching them from the steps.
“It’s not smart that you left without saying anything you gave us a scare. Now come with me” Roy ordered in an arrogant tone. Jacob nudged Mary in the back when she just stayed silent.
“Mustang, I’m leaving” Mary blurted out surprised at what she had just said. She saw Roy’s blank expression change to one of modest surprise. But his tone hardened as his eyes darted to the teen standing next to her.
“No you’re not”
“Yes I am”
“No you’re not”
“Yes I am!” Mary shouted. Roy opened his mouth to reply to her outburst. But stopped when all of a sudden the boy’s arm changed into a long blade similar to FullMetals, and then bring it around Mary placing the blade against her neck and pulling her backwards.
“What are you doing Jacob?” Mary yelled in surprise at his sudden action. All of a sudden Jacob transformed into a woman with black hair wearing all black clothes a halter top and a skirt with boots and a head band. ‘Mary mother of Jesus!’ Mary thought at this sight her eyes widening in horror and then turning her head to see Roy whose group had multiplied by about a hundred fold and was no surrounding the hostage and her captor in a matter of seconds. She heard the thing swear when it realized its situation. She scanned to see that they were leaned up against a fountain and Roy stood in their center vision field yelling orders to his men not taking his eyes off of them. Snipers surrounded them positioning their guns pointing at the thing. Mary saw that one of the snipers was Riza Hawkeye who was standing to Mustangs left. She noticed that all of his subordinates had come to the scene and Ed had accompanied them beholding the scene seeing her keeper and then yelling something. Onlookers began to approach sticking their noses in the news worthy scene. Roy demanded silence from all then began to speak.
“Envy! What do you want with her?” Roy demanded.
“Well, you should know that by now? Colonel Roy Mustang. This made the expression on Roy’s face change in a sense of understanding and knowing
“What does he know?” Mary whispered to the thing.
“About your special abilities, being a telekinetic telepath and all.” the thing they called Envy replied in a sly voice. Mary finally realized what it was. She had known she could do things others couldn’t her entire life. But she didn’t know it went as far as being classifiable.
“What do you want with me?” Mary asked the thing hoping she could get a better answer than the Colonel did.
“Well you see, the country is at peace now but all those people in those countries that were done wrong by our lovely country are still angry. And if they find a leader they think they can follow they’ll do anything even fund a trip for a homunculi to their enemy country to retrieve their secret weapon.
“So I suppose that has something to do with me?” Mary said calmly.
“You got it princess and you’ve won the game what do you want?
“Let me go”
“Nice try hun but not gonna happen"
“Back away!” the thing yelled. Noticing that while its hostage was chatting it up the snipers were able to circle in closer leaving about 75 yards between the two and the 10 snipers. The thing that will as of now be referred to as Envy made a small cut on Ari’s throat but just enough to scare the snipers into backing up by about 30 feet.
“Smart girl” the thing said as Mary clasped a hand to her throat where the cut was using the pressure from her fingers to stop the little bit of bleeding. As the thing looked around analyzing its situation Mary stood there thinking about Roy, seeing the genuine fear and worry in his face 'Well now I feel bad' . Mary looked at Roy then realized something. She began to divert her eyes frantically from the blade at her throat to Roy then shaking her head ever so slightly trying to tell Roy that Envy wouldn’t kill her. Roy stared for a moment the realized what she was saying. Ed must have seen it too because when Envy was looking at the sniper behind her (lets just suppose Envy’s a girl). Ed brought his index finger up and signaled drawing a circle. Mary suddenly remembered something and then looked at Roy who nodded slightly then spoke loudly trying to give the captor one more chance to let Mary go.
“Let her go!” He yelled out at the creature that diverted their eyes to Roy from the sniper.
“Sorry to important” and that was what ruined the creature. Because while Roy had been distracting her Mary slipped her jacket from it’s place wrapped around her waist attempting to not touch the creature as she did this then stepping on the circle that had been drawn onto a button on her jack a long time ago and causing large masses of the diamond substance to rise from the ground scaring the creature. It realized that this was its hostages doing and gave up, pushing her forward. You could hear Roy scream fire! When the two had separated. Envy shot up in the air over the crowd and began to run away as the bullets hit the spot where she had been causing the dirt and dust to rise from the ground masking Mary from the crowd. But Mary had run through the dust and was now clinging to Mustang. Shaking uncontrollably, as the captor was pursued
“I’m sorry Roy” she whispered as he fell to his knees and grabbed Mary, embracing her, he had one arm draped around her shoulders then one hand on her head. Holding her tight as the girl shook in his arms. As he held her he realized that she had used his first name. Despite the circumstances he was happy about that. As the onlookers watched as the criminal got away from it’s chasers Mary lifted her head from the place on Roy chest to see a very large crimson stain. Roy looked down at her (despite the fact they were on their knees Roy was still taller than Ari) and saw that she had a very large cut on her neck right above her collar bone. His eyes widened with horror and he screamed for a medic to come as Mary blacked out her limp body crumpling to the ground. With Roy in a state of shock.
