The car pulled up quietly outside the rundown shack that was apparently a house. The sound of several car doors slamming shut rung loudly throughout the godforsaken district. Roy stepped forward; Edward followed closely but suddenly paused. The rain continued to drench them.

"Ed…?" The frown on the boy's brow made him stop. Edward was sensing danger. His eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp and his stance unconsciously defensive. He could feel something sinister in the air…

A Mimi-Corp "Film" (Story)

A soft thud sounded from inside the house. Sensing trouble Riza quickly flattened herself against the wet, wooden wall. With a practiced click, she switched the safety catch off and brought her gun up in a textbook perfect stance, levelling the butt of her gun with her eye. Her eyes narrowed to keep the rain from hindering her view. She hoped that all three of them would see each other alive after this.

But she'd been in the business long enough to know that Fate played a cruel game...

In Association with the Fan Fiction. Net-work

Edward dropped down into a hidden tunnel with a muddy splash, his senses on high alert. It was dark.

His eyes began to adjust slowly to the lack of light; there was a tunnel before him. He followed it carefully, wary of what he might find.

"Mmph…" He froze. Body tensed for action, ears ever attentive to the sounds coming from ahead. Someone or something was down here with him.

Children, kids and teens, have been disappearing all over Central City. With no clues or trails to follow…

The television jumped to life and a news reporter began to blare her report to the people listening;

"– ss of 32 have disappeared without a trace. This is the seventh case that has attacked Central City and The Fuehrer has decided to turn this investigation over to the Military Officials in hopes of moving forward and finding the kidnapper and the children as soon as possible.

"Sources say that Col. Roy Mustang and his subordinates have been put on the case. These sources also say that among Col. Mustang's subordinates is the City's favoured State Alchemist; Maj. Edward Elric the Full Metal Alchemist. Parents can be assured that their children's case is in good hands."

"Another kidnapping?" Alphonse stared at the screen with growing trepidation, his brother was on the case but he was also technically still a child despite his rank and maturity… Al's eyes narrowed with worry.

"Nii-san…"

And deep under Central City, another world lives; a world where freedom is a word seldom used...

"Riza, I thought you said Edward was down here?"

"He was! I saw him! He radioed in saying he'd found some kids tied up! I told him to wait down here with them until it was safe to bring them up." Riza's wide eyes were looking almost frantically around the small cavern underneath the house. It was empty.

"Well he's not here now and there are no kids." Panic flared up inside the dark haired Colonel. Edward was missing…

"I can see that sir…" Agitation wavered her voice, as she continued to look for a sign that Edward had been in the cavern.

"Colonel!" A cry from somewhere behind them, "I've found something come see!" A Private in training; blonde hair, green-grey eyes. He was leant over something on the ground.

"Is that?" The flashlight lit up the lone red ribbon, golden strands of stray hair glittering with a faint crimson glow under the artificial light of the Private's torch.

Blood.

"Yeah… It's Ed's."

The pressure is building. The clues; misleading. And time has betrayed his every effort…

"Sir! Another letter!"

Roy's head shot up. Shaky hands snatched the paper from his best friend's hands. Glistening eyes fearfully read the scrawled message…

Colonel Bastard,

I don't know if my letters are reaching you. The enemy is moving us again. I don't know where, my sources couldn't find out.

I'm scared.

I can't see a way out of this that doesn't end in death for us.

Please… Find us…

Find me.

Edward

"Oh Ed… I'm trying…"

Time is running out… and still the clues lead nowhere…

"Find Military Warehouse B! We'll storm it with full force…Round up three SWAT Units, I want this done properly; there'll be innocents inside… Hughes! Lead Team A. Hawkeye, Team B. I'll Lead Team C. Any questions…"

"Um Sir, which warehouse? There are currently 218 Military Warehouses marked as 'B'…"

"What?!"

Slam!

Can Col. Roy Mustang find his wayward subordinate before time runs out?

The darkness was suffocating. The pain immense. How long had he been down here anyway?

"Don't give up hope Ed, you told us that remember?" Farah, the youngest of the group he'd failed to rescue. His dark amber eyes found her shadowed silhouette… his voice no louder than a hoarse whisper;

"My hope is gone… There is nothing left to hope for…" His eyes fell shut. His energy depleting. He was just too tired.

…

"No! Nii-san!"
