Chapter 6: Misplaced

Riza was beginning to wonder where everyone had gone.

Roy claimed he had a meeting with the Fuhrer, but she had seen Bradley talking with his secretary only a few moments ago, so he couldn't be in a meeting.

Havoc said he was going out for a smoke, but he had left nearly two hours ago, which was odd. He never took longer than fifteen minutes at the most.

Breda told her he was going out for his lunch break, and he was still gone, though he had been known to take his time during lunch.

Falman had taken a personal day, which just isn't like him. He was always trying so hard to impress Riza with his extreme formality, and taking a day off would normally seem unacceptable to him.

The only one who seemed available for work was Fuery, and he sat nervously at his desk, his hands so bad Riza wasn't sure his hand writing was legible.

"Lt. Fuery." Riza starts.

"Gahh!" The man squeaks, nearly jumping out of his own skin. "Yes, sir, I mean mam, I mean, Miss, I..uhh…"

"At ease, Fuery." Riza says quickly. Was she really that scary? Now she felt bad for the poor guy. "I was just going to ask if you new what the rest of our coworkers are doing."

"Oh…no, I don't, I haven't…" He wrings his hands, and stumbles over his words anxiously.

Riza's eye narrow. Now she couldn't help but be suspicious. Fuery always was a bit jumpy, but now he was acting as if he had replaced Riza's tea with some sort of corrosive acid and he was waiting for her to fall for it and take a drink.

Her eyes flick to her mug, even though she knows the idea is ridiculous.

"Is something going on that I should know about, Lieutenant?" She asks slowly, eyeing Fuery for any hints he might give.

Something was certainly going on, that's for sure.

"I…uhh…" Fuery is saved from answering as the phone on his desk rings loudly, he jumps and rushes to pick it up, nearly dropping it in his haste.

Riza sits there, as Fuery says, "Umm, are you sure, sir…? Okay….all right, we're just finishing up on our work… yes, I can come down for a moment…"

Riza wonders if it were Roy he might be talking to. The colonel must be planning something…

Fuery hangs up and looks to Riza. "I need to go… get a report from Hughes…" He inches toward the door, walking backward. "So…bye!" He spins around and bolts, leaving Hawkeye alone and rather confused.

She watches the door slam behind him and she lets out a long sigh, opening a drawer in her desk to find her notepad. She finds it among the meager contents and reaches out to grab it right as she realizes something important.

Her pistol wasn't safely nestled amongst the files like it should be.

She checks her other drawer to see if her other handgun is there, but it is nowhere to be found.

And her keys to the Weapons Locker are missing too…

Where did all her weapons go?

She stands and checks all twelve of her backup hiding spots that supposedly no one knew about, and came up empty. Even her ammunition had been shanghaied.

That settles it. Roy is dead meat.

(*FMA*)

She stomps over to Hughes' office, knowing that he was there, and knowing that he would answer her questions.

As she arrives she slams the doors open and is ready to ask just exactly what kind of prank they had started by taking all her guns, but Maes just spins her around and starts rambling as he pushes her toward the mess hall.

"Wow, great timing, Hawkeye! I was just about to get you, after all Roy said they were done and that I ought to go and-."

"Why do you have your camera?" Riza asks blandly, noting the camera that hung around his neck, swinging back and forth as they walked.

Riza was almost fearful of the answer.

"I never go anywhere without it!" Maes explains easily. "Anyway, here we are!"

She turns to ask why he is asking so weird, but Maes is gone, so she just stares at the closed doors of the mess hall.

"I'll regret this later," She says as she reaches for the door knob, "Won't I…"

"Happy Birthday!" She can hear multiple clicks as everyone gets pictures of her surprised expression.

No wonder they had taken her guns.

I'd be scared of a surprised Riza too XD but yeah, tell me what you think!
