Tainted Creations: Finding

Chap: 3

 

          Edward Elric stormed dawn the hall to the coronal’s office. He had caught wind of the raid on the underground laboratory, and wasn’t very happy about being kept in the dark about it. If it hadn’t been for Havoc chattering to Falmen and Fuery, he would have never known. Ed was furious, and he made shier everyone in the hall knew he was royally pissed.

          He didn’t even knock. Edward just swung the door open and slammed it behind him. Roy looked up from the laboratory documents with a look of shier annoyance. Edward was in such a state he couldn’t even speak, he just mentally burned holes into Roy ’s eyes.

          “What is it Full Metal… something I can do for you?” his voice was mocking, but his face was already back into the stock white paper in his hand. He knew he would have figured it out… he just didn’t expect it to have been so soon.

          “Why wasn’t I informed about the laboratory you raided this morning!?” his body showed his disapproval as much as his voice. 

          Roy sighed and placed the documents dawn on his desk. “There was no need for your assistance. Nor is there any need for your knowledge of it. You have other matters to attend to.”

          “I heard you found a girl in the basement chained to a wall! That there were countless dead chimeras throughout the facility! How is that not relevant to my research? That girl could be a homunculus for all we know!”  

          Roy ’s left brow lifted curiously, “And what makes you think she’s a homunculus?” he folded his arm in front of himself and leaned back in his chair. He was eager to hear Edward’s explanation.

          “Why would they have an ordinary human restrained in a laboratory? She has to be an experiment of some kind, and most likely, no where near normal. At best she’s a chimera!”    

          Roy had to admit he was right, but this still didn’t prove that the boy had any business being involved in this.

          “That is none of you concern, Edward. We’ll take care of this, you needn’t worry.”  The coronal waved his had towards the door in hopes of convincing Edward it was best to leave. 

          “Coronal, what makes you so shier she’s human?”

Roy lifted his eyes to focus on his guest. “I have work to do Full Metal. I don’t have time for this.”

          Edward glared over Roy’s desk, “ Roy … what are you hiding?”

          “This case is in my jurisdiction, Edward, not yours. If anything comes up about the philosopher’s stone, I will inform you.”

          Ed clenched and unclenched is fisted. His tempter had already been boiling… keeping it in check was not an easy task. “Yes, sir.” Edward mumbled. He couldn’t think of much ells to say, he knew that Mustang would share no more, and for once in his life didn’t quite feel like arguing long enough to get the information out of him, or get torched for pissing him off.

               “You’re excused, Full Metal. That will be all.” Roy shifted his eyes towards the door, watching Ed comply with his coronal’s order.

          Ed left as quickly as possible, the door seemed unusually heavy as he twisted the knob and pulled it open to escape into the hallway.
