Seth nodded."We'll need to keep him away from people."

Havoc and Fuery stood there, stunned. The young major's trembling hands were practically audible as he swiped at the Officer's notebook. "This-this has to be some mistake..." Desperate eyes scanned the paper, confirming a nightmare that none of them had ever hoped to face so soon.... not again.
Havoc's cigarette fell from his mouth, the glowing red end exploding in a shower of sparks. The demons of memories of the past had returned... A visit a thousand times more terrible than a surprise dinner with a new mother-in-law. "Where is he...?" His voice wavered so uncharacteristically as he broke Roy away from the obviously traumitized officer, "Where is Ed?!"
The newbie was slow to reply, "Wh-where... uh..." "YES WHERE!" Fuery Exploded, "Where is the accident?! Where's he being taken?!" "The accident was on third and bloodlet drive! Body is being taken to Central Military Morgue for examination!" The rattled go-fer cried and Both Fuery and HAvoc rushed past him.
(( Sorry... Don't know what else to do... ))

Roy nearly knocked the officer down as he rushed out the door and ran ahead of Havoc and Feury in a heart beat. "This can't be...This can't be...This can't be..." Roy said, his footsteps picked up and he ran at a faster rate with each second. "DAMMIT FULLMETAL YOU CAN'T DIE!!!" he yelled as he barged through the doors of Eastern HQ and ran out on to the street.

Maddy walked with a green shopping bag in her hand. She stopped a few meters from where people gathered in the middle of the road. She looked towards the middle of the circle and saw a boy lying on the ground. She could see he wasn't breathing. She looked away and her hand tightened around the bag. She spotted the two vampires and her eyes narrowed. "They'll take care of him." she whispered, before retreating into the nearby forest.

Later that evening...
The Moon was full, but no one noticed... Not with the clouds pouring rain like no tomorrow. The lightning and thunder were a like mocking fireworks, bringing out every dark contour, every cold corner......
On a sterile, silver table lay the pale body of a young boy. Around him, people, friends... Each in their own way wallowing in their own little versions of denial... One figure stood out. A statue of metal, a suit of armor stood among their ranks. A suit of armor... that within those very moments... was more empty then ever before.

Next to the suit of armor, Roy stood trembling. He felt like this was his fault somehow, even though he wasn't there when it happened. Yet, Ed had left his office right before the accident. "Dammit, Fullmetal...Why? First Hughes, now this?" he asked, biting on his lip hard.

Winry came running up behind Roy and Alphonse. "Is he....?" she began, before seeing the body. Tears streamed down her face, although most couldn't tell because of the rain. She shook her head. "No...no it can't be..." she held her hands to her chest, her eyes not moving from the boy.

Havoc and Fuery stood with the most solemn expressions, grief preventing either from moving. The report had said the truck driver had been dead behind the wheel. Most bizarre and horrible of all, the driver's throat had been shredded, by what could have been a dog, but of a ridiculous size. (( werewolf~!! :3 ))
The coroner soon entered, pale, cold, and looking to have a severe case of insomnia. "You have... identified the body? Colonel?" He asked, voice rasping.
He too had known Edward, and it had been and his honor, to clean many of the wounds of those passed away in service. He found it his responsibility to provide that list stroke of dignity and peace to those who had died and their loved ones. These past days had been especially trying.
Havoc choked up first, his voice far more gravelly than if his smoking had turned it. "Yes... This... is Edward Elric..." Mouthing the words in silence, Fuery chimed in, "...The Fullmetal Alchemist..."
Alphonse whispered, "... Brother... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The words kept repeating as the suit looked like it was crumpling in on itself. Torrents of despair crashed within the iron chest plate. Now what? Is it over? like that? Why like this? There's no one left.....
With a sudden clang, Alphonse jerked upright, hands clenched tight. Not saying anything Alphonse marched out of the room, Red eyes glowing dangerously. Havoc and Fuery didn't have the heart to stop him...
(( but seriously.. someone should. n.n; ))

The girl, Catherine, that had been watching him earlier was standing in the room, staring at the body. Her eyes glow red, but she shook her head, trying to control herself. "Just wait a bit longer..." she muttered quietly to herself.
Roy jerked his head up as Al walked out of the room. He quickly wiped away a tear that had slipped down his cheek and followed the giant metal suit of armor. He needed to get out of that room anyway. He couldn't bear being next to Ed's cold pale body anymore. "Al...Alphonse!" he called, his voice had a bit of a strain in it from all the silent crying and sobs he had been holding back.

Alphonse didn't even hesitate, his pace, if anything, quickened. "What do you want?" The voice rang through the armor, giving it an almost otherworldly echo.
---
Back in the room, The Coroner ushered them out of the room, apologizing the entire time. He somehow missed the figure standing in the corner. A rarity indeed.

Roy quickly grabbed his arm. "Al, stop! I know what you're thinking, but there was nothing we could've done. Ed's death was an accident," he said and looked down sadly. "And if you're thinking about thoughts of suicide then you better damn well get those thoughts out of your head!"
