BANG! CRASH! Gun fires went out into the cold eerie night. A girl bout five foot four jumped from building to building like a cat running from a pack of wild dogs. She wore a sea blue jacket that cloaked her appearance. A pissed off lieutenant started screaming into the night. “WHAT, you lost her, how can you lose a girl with flaming red hair?!” "My apologies Sir!"  A lower ranking officer responded to the lieutenant.  "She has also managed to steal the Philosopher's Stone reports."

The lieutenant glared at the officer, rage and fury can be seen circulating throughout his whole body.  "WHAT?!"  He lets a slight pause happen as if expecting the officer to say 'nope, just kidding' even though he could tell by this officer's eyes that this wasn't a joke.  "What do you mean she stole the Philosopher's Stone reports?!"  The lieutenant obviously needed no answer since he already knew.  He was so furious by then that he grabs the lower-rank by the collar and threw him to the side as if he were nothing more than a rag doll.  "How do you let a mere girl no older than sixteen get away?"  The lieutenant mumbles furiously to no one in particular.  He glares over at the officer, "Find her.  Now!"  The officer gets up off the ground, winces in pain as he brushes off some dust and blood, and nods, "Yes Sir!"

Suddenly a loud clap is heard.  The annoyed lieutenant and his lower-level accomplice look above to see a steel barred cage hovering over them, threatening to fall at any moment.  The red flame haired girl leaped down from a building behind the two, "Yo!"  The officer turns to notice her first.  He gasps, "Lieutenant!  It's her!"  Lieutenant turns and sneers at the girl, "Give us the reports!"  The girl cocks her head to one side.  "Reports?"  She questions mockingly, "Oh you mean these reports..."  She trails off revealing the documents being held between her index and thumb.  "Sure, go ahead, take them.  These are yours aren't they?"  She reaches out as if ready to hand the documents over just like that.  The lieutenant holds back, this had to be some kind of set up.  She wouldn't really give up documents as important as these that easily.  But what kind of trap was it?  Did she have an accomplice off in the dark ready to kill anyone less than three feet from this girl?  Or would she just make them look like fools and run away?  He couldn't take that chance, not with the documents at stake.  He knew what he had to do.  Stall her as long as possible and send the lower ranking officer for extra assistance.  But before he could really get into depths of his plan he realizes the officer had already gone up to take the documents.  The girl grins.  The Lieutenant runs toward the officer, "No! Wait!"  But it was too late.  Any hope of retrieving those documents at this point would prove worthless.  "Psyche!"  The girl howls and makes a swift jump to the top of another building.  She smirks and brushes some of her hair out of her face, "Military dogs.  They're so gullible.  It's almost cute."  Then with a wink she disappears into the night.

Ed was tired, he could hardly keep his eyes open and the thought of doing another assignment for Roy made him sick. “So tell me why you had to wake up at twelve-o-clock midnight again?” He yawned. “For the thousandth time brother, Mustang wants us to do another assignment for him.” Al reminded “Thought so.” He yawned again. Surely this was going to be one of Roy's silly little assignments to pawn on him and his brother as so he wouldn't get his hands dirty. But, Ed wasn't going to put up with his crap any longer, he plopped himself right on the ground where he stood and shut his eyes. “Brother!”  Al cried.  “Get up!  We're going to be late!” “Don't care.” He yawned. “I'm tired.” “But Mustang called on us to do this assignment; surely he doesn't want to take up time looking for someone else!” “Let him do it himself. I'm sick of doing that dirty bastard's nasty work.” He said turning on his side. “But Brother!” Al whined. “No buts! Now let me sleep.” Ed grumbled as he slowly started drifting into dreamland. Then Al got an idea. He chuckled to him self evilly. “Hey Brother!” He sung. “You know if you don't take this assignment Roy might strip you of your State alchemist certification.” Ed's eyes promptly opened at that comment and he glared his younger kin down. “Your evil, ya know that!” “Well I'm just trying to keep you from getting into trouble.” Al replied folding his arms. “Ok then, Lets go be fore I collapse of exhaustion.” He said getting back up to his feet, staggering the rest of the way to Central Headquarters.

“You're late.” Mustang said with a scowl on his face. “Yeah? So? What else is new?” Ed remarked. “You know with a tone like that can get you an automatic strip of you State Alchemist certification.” He pointed out. Ed rolled his eyes. “Sorry Colonel,” Al remarked. “Ed gets a little cranky if you wake him in the middle of the night. I should know I'm the one who usually dose it.”

“Is that so?” Mustang smirked at Ed. Ed just glared at him. He wasn't in the mood of starting shit with Roy. “Well back on subject I have an assignment for the two of you.” Roy said picking up a file of papers. “Earlier this night about 11:45 the Central library was broken into.” Ed yawned “Yea, so what's your point?”

“A file was stolen there. The Philosopher's Stone Reports to be exact.” He said staring down Ed who was bobbing his head. Hearing those words where like a triple shot espresso shooting through his nervous system. His head sprang up and he stared at Mustang in complete horror and disbelief “W-what did you say?” He stuttered. Roy smirked at the blonde. “I said that the Philosopher's Stone Reports have been stolen. That means all your leads; findings and facts on it are gone. All that work practically done for nothing, well at least some girl got the benefit of it.”

“THIS IS BULL SHIT!!!” He bellowed kicking a nearby chair. “YOU'RE MEANING TO TELL ME SOME BODY JUST UPED AND SNATCHED THE REPORTS LIKE A PIECE OF CANDY FROM A BABY!” Ed was on fire now. Al had never seen his brother so angry before. Sure he had thrown temper tantrums every now and then, especially if someone ever mentioned the word short in his presence, but this was more than that. Ed was pissed.

“Well no use in throwing a tantrum Fullmetal. Here are the files on the suspect.” Roy stated un-amused to Ed's reaction. He handed Al the papers. Seeing as it was better off at the point that Al took a look at them, knowing Ed, he'd jump to conclusions on every single person that looked similar to the one in the files. “Her name is Riley Mizuno, the Rapid Alchemist.” He added. “She's a State Alchemist?” Al questioned. Mustang nodded “Yes, and quite skilled if you ask me, she has a way of manipulating water with alchemy. So Al best keep your distance.” “Uh huh, yea.” Al whimpered. Fear struck the armors face as he glanced down at her picture once more.

“So let me get this strait, she's a State Alchemist?” Ed uttered glancing at the photo. “I believe that's what I said,” Roy glanced at Ed. “Or were you still sleeping?” Ed gave Roy one of his shut up looks and went on to his point. “Well then all I have is one simple question. WHY IN THE HELL WOULD SOMEBODY WANT TO STEAL SOMETHING FROM THEIR OWN KIND?!” He roared. Roy shook his head and chuckled in spite of Ed. “When she applied she demanded to be put in the Philosopher's Stone assignment. But unfortunately for her it was already taken, by you. So our assumption is she stole it just to get sparks to fly.” He smiled. “And apparently they did.”

Ed glared at Roy. He hated when Roy made smart ass comments like that just to piss him off. But it was no use in arguing he was too tired for this and for all he knew he'd probably lose any way. “Well no use in staring at old photographs. Let's go Al.” He said slinking to the doorway. “Ok.” Al followed. “Well good luck you two. You're gonna need it.” Roy warned as they left. Ed said nothing and he didn't need Roy's false sympathy. There was no way he was going to let a little girl ruin all his plans for him and his brother.

“So where should we go first?” Al asked his older brother. “This file has a whole bunch of places she's either lived or visited at. How do we know which one is the place she'd go first?” “I don't know.”  Ed replied.  “Which town is her home one?”  Al pointed to the name of the city on the paper, “Aquroya”.

“Well whaddya know? Well Al it looks like we'll be getting together with some familiar faces.” “But I thought we where looking for The Rapid Alchemist? Not having Friendship reunions.” The confused Al asked. “We are I just want to see if an old friend can help us out a bit if ya know what I mean.” He stated with a grin

Leaves in a nearby bush shook vigorously and made the bush jump. “Uh Brother!?” Al pointed. “What?” The annoyed brother asked glancing towards Al. “Th-The bush is moving!” He quivered. “Huh?” Ed said about facing the overgrown shrub. POP! Coincidentally, out of the bush came none other than the person they where looking for. She dashed out of the bush and out into a nearby forest. “That was her!” Al exclaimed. “Come on Al don't just stand there lets grab her before she can make tracks.” With out notice Ed zipped after Riley leaving Al in the dust. “Brother, wait up! Don't leave me here! You're the one with all the money! How am I supposed to get to Aquroya if you just leave me sitting here?!” Al whined sprinting after his brother.
