Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ This Time it's for Real ❯ Pigtailed Military Girl ( Prologue )

This time its for Real

`Colonel Mustang. You have a letter.' The dark haired colonel glanced at the pigtailed Military Secretary, took the yellow envelope and dismissed her. The bright-cheeked girl blushed shyly and pranced out of the room. The Flame Alchemist turned around to face the window and frowned, a crease appearing between the space of his dark, velvety eyes. He had been mystified and worried by the absence of his most loyal comrade, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. Was she sick? Or maybe she was switched to another office? No, she would have told me beforehand….. The Alchemist had no idea where his secretary would be. His bewilderment increased as he flipped open the envelope and produced the letter inside. He also protruded a red plastic hairclip. His face paled as he recognized the hairclip; it whitened even further, he tightened his grip on the hairclip as his eyes took a quick sweep over the yellowing parchment. He frantically opened the door and dashed along the corridor, too panicky to notice an evil smirk on the pigtailed girl who had delivered his letter as he was rushing by.
