Chapter 20
Not after what I saw. Gozo
pure. It was the only way to describe it, pure joy on the faces of Roy when a man managed to take his most prized possession - his will. Pure joy without a trace of shame or guilt.
Roy could not have that kind of power. I already had too much control of people. Charisma, personal magnetism, or maybe it was just ability to find the weakest people, Al did not know what it was,Anic, but feel and think that all is well and not pay any attention to what we're saying. "
" Do you think that is best for him? "said Roy.
" I think I have more idea you. "
" Okay. "And he did. The manipulation of light due Midnight disappear at some point, that Carr's eyes were normal when opened. He rose from the ground shook and returned to his position. He sat and looked bored, out of nowhere. Roy raised an eyebrow, and inside, he was right to back Al
Midnight, looking briefly at the guard and then Al "There," Al said "Listen, Andrew, is that you have much work to do. Why not go back to your office? I'll call you if youneed. "
" Wait, "Roy said." We need ... "
Al shook his head and put a finger on his lips.
Midnight looked relieved." I have lots of work. Back in a few hours. "And the left.
" Why did you tell him to go? We need you! "
" I told him to leave because they do not want to have this conversation in front of him. He does not know that the circle is working. Cree makes everything I say because he decides. "Al hesitated." I want it that way, if you get a little dignity and reduce suffering. "
" Believe it or not, if I understand the moral implications what we are doing, "Roy said." We can not stop here. It's all or nothing. "
" You believe that Carr isjust another soldier following orders. "said Al" Just who are your orders, rather than those of their superiors. But that does not work. Not just your subordinate, it's your damn SLAVE. It's different. "
" I know, Al "Roy was thinking. Finding the weak point in the reasoning of Al Al knew.
At almost gives up. Probably find it. Just as he found the weak point of his brother and made him fall in love with him. By God, he did give her virginity.
The way I had found the weak point was Winry and risking your neck over and over again for him, without any benefit to it. Demons Roy's had for him STEALING.
The way he had found the weak point of the younger and much mna incredible greed of power. The parliament has been shattered, the military command, there is nothing to balance this madness but us three. "
When swallowed hard.
" And you put all of that, the lives of all those real people, taken against their will from their homes and forced to kill or be killed for reasons that do not know - you put all that against your conscience. What makes you think that your innocence is worth more than theirs? "
Al ran out of breath. Roy was right. Roy was always right. When you looked at the floor. I wanted to turn off their ears.
" Are you mad at me for yourself do this. Do you think now you can punish me by refusing. Well you can not. I do not lose anything. Those who are going to punishyour brother, your girl, and you, and all these recruits. "
Roy put his hand on his chin, and gently but insistently forced him to look him in the eyes." I know what I'm doing. He could do with Carr and Midnight, and all others who will have to make this. Could destroy the soul. "
Al shook.
" But we need not, "continued Roy." And we will not do it. That although we are doing something cruel, we are not cruel people, and SI is different. "
Roy released to Al" Now. Do I have your cooperation? "
Al bit his lip. It took all his willpower, but shifted his gaze from Roy." You'll have to give me reasons for each of the persons who quLXC When he went to make his courage in a corner. Should go and comfort him, but somehow, Roy had stuck to the floor.
was looking at her again. Now that the tension of the room had fallen, was talking to Ed, but it looked as if he knew something she did not.
"What we do with my automail," said Ed, "I can not wear it and take it off daily. I would kill. Hell, it still hurts to hell."
"The guards did not accept that what you have in the cell," said Roy, his eyes looking at last Ed Winry
intervened. The automail was his business. "Do not take it away, you need time to readjust. Setting and removing the automail is hell on the nerves. Quite possibly cause harm, whetheruse rejection, if they get them very often. Is there no way to convince those guys that? "
" The guards are very aware of the skills of transmutation of Ed, "Roy said." They will complain if you have your arm. "Winry looked away." Simply there is no choice - you have to be released from prison. Even work together ... "
Ed shook his head." I will not be released. And once separated us. "
Winry felt a little embarrassed to hear this conversation, but suddenly understood exactly what Ed was talking about. She would feel the same about Al now had access to her apartment, unable to kill her spend time alone with him.
"Why not release Roy, too?" he said.
They both looked like she was crazy.
"Well, if you can manipulate things so that they release to Ed before Why do not you?"
Roy blinked several times. "Ed has already served more than half of his sentence, early release would not raise an eyebrow. But I will not be released EVER. There will be many people who look closely if I'm not in jail."
"You say the guards care?" Winry frowned. "I mean, once you transfer from their custody Did you continue watching, just for old times?"
"Of course not," said Roy. "That would be absurd."
"And the top Do you review every day?"
Roy paused. "No, do not."
"body to the head. And if Ed is going to stay with his arm, will have to be fast. Dinner is in just four hours, and will be very suspicious if we do not. I fear that we will need to Midnight. "
" I'll get him. "Al sighed He approached the door, but he passed Roy, he grabbed his shoulder.
Roy smiled." I wanted to tell you before, happy birthday. I regret that it could be a better one. "
Al looked at him as more innocent false Winry had ever seen." Why do you say that Roy? Not what you mean, "she said bitterly." You gave me the best gift. Say What 17 year old boy would not want his own slave to do what I want? "
" Would you rather that Midnight was a woman? "Roy said, smiling.
"And these must be the famous double-meaning jokes la Mustang that I've heard both." Al said "Do not try to lighten the mood. I'm very mad at you. Accept."
When he left, Winry looked at Roy. "You can not leave him alone for a minute?"
"Ah, Miss Rockbell." Roy said softly. "I want to thank you for all your help. Not that I could do to reward."
"Well," Winry said, thoughtfully. "You could start by buying a new coat. A very, very good. The mine has too many holes in it."
Roy laughed. "I will do that for you. But I'm afraid I have to wait."
"I can wait." Winry asked if I could turn that blame on a new wardrobe,and perhaps some automail team. Roy had used. Once it was the Fuhrer, it would be just what I could squeeze as payment. He smiled wickedly. Ah
Was that a wince, Roy?
