Karm Deren tossed two bags into the back of the jeep he'd gotten from the little Youswell garrison. He'd packed as much food, water, fuel and ammunition as he could fit in the jeep and hoped it would be enough.

As he waited for Clovis to arrive Karm took a seat behind the wheel and wondered if he was doing the right thing. Going after the bandits and finding their base was necessary to secure this area. If the trains were at risk Central wasn't going to be sending anymore supplies and Youswell would become a ghost town. So a case could be made for it being the right thing to do but maybe not the smartest. The bandits had taken heavy losses on the train but who knew how many more were left. Would Clovis and he be able to handle it alone? A full out attack? Maybe not but a recon mission wasn't out of their league. Deren could always come back with a full military force but only if they found the hideout before the trail went cold.

Clovis stopped dead in her tracks, being cornered made her instincts go wild. She growled and bared her fangs behind the bandanna glaring at the alchemist, her cat like pupils constricted and her eyes narrowed. She was calculating the distance and how much power she would need to jump at the alchemist and claw him to death but the other men would shoot her down in mid air. With a sigh Clovis struggled to push away the lion side of her mind, forcing herself to relax and think clearly. Without a word she put her hands in the air admitting defeat.

The alchemist slapped a circle on the ground and a narrow bridge of rock extended so Ford could walk out of the trap he'd set.

Waving a finger he said. "You may be able to kill me and a few of these patriots but in the end you will end up on the ground with a few new holes. Cooperate and like I said you won't be harmed." His stern tone softened and he smiled. "I'm Spencer by the way. What can I call you?"

It took Clovis a while before she stepped onto the bridge. She walked across cautiously watching their every movement in case they decided to shoot.
"Clovis." She mumbled her name to Spencer on she was at the other side.

At the top of the quarry Cali kicked away the rifle Deren had dropped with a humourless smirk.
"Pretty sneaky aren't you, shooting at us from up here while you're friend does all the work.." She took a step closer to him with a raised eyebrow, he was familiar to her but then again it might be the uniform. "Well, it doesn't matter now. Go on, you're coming with us." Cali stepped around him and poked him towards the path with the end of her gun.

Spencer smiled wider and said. "It's nice to meet you Clovis." He gestured to his right. "If you'll come this way please." He said and the guns pointing at her made it clear it wasn't a request.

Clovis was directed to a large tent that had been cleared of everything for the move except a table and two wooden chairs. Spencer took a seat at one side and said. "I won't chain you up if you behave. But don't get any ideas." He said as he showed her an alchemy circle tattooed to the palm of both hands. "I used to be a state Alchemist and I can do some very painful and irreversible things just by touching you."

Spencer folded his hands set them on the table and his voice changed back to a cheerful tone. "So why don't we have a nice civilized chat about that shipment you just dropped off at Youswell."



Deren flashed a charming smile. "I was working too. You think sniping is easy? A lot goes into each shot. Range, wind and not to mention predicting how the target is going to move. At this range you don't shot where he is, you have to shoot where he will be." He said before another jab of the rifle. Deren began walking and called over his shoulder. "No need to shove I'm going." Half way down the path he asked. "I'm Karm by the way. What's your name?"

"Cali, now quit being so talkative. We can talk once we get down there." She nudged him forward and kept at the same pace. One they reached the bottom the men behind her took over and led Deren to the tent Spencer just entered.



Clovis almost had a laughing fit. Painful and irreversible things? That man had no idea what she had been through and she didn't think chains could keep her down for too long however she was obedient and remained standing. The sound of people approaching the tent made her think someone else would be wanting to sit in the chair.
"I know nothing about the shipment," She said in an 'I-couldn't-care-less' tone. "I'm just a freelancer doing my job."

Behind Clovis the flap to the tent flew open as Cali strutted in.
"Spencer you're here, how much have you found out?" She glanced over at Clovis to see if she would betray and secrets but she was looking in the other direction.

Spencer stood and gave a respectful nod of his head to Cali as she entered. "So far nothing."

"That's because she doesn't know anything." Deren said as he was led into the tent. He was about to make another comment when Karm recognized Spencer.

Spencer glared at Deren and said. "Well Lieutenant Deren it's been a while."

"It's Captain now." Deren said glaring back.

"So that's how they rewarded you for what you did at Wurzberg?" Spencer accused.

"I did my job." Deren said with a stony tone but inside his heart ached at the memories that town brought up. "Unlike some people." He added with narrowed brow.

"My first duty is to my conscience not some oath to the state." Spencer said before turning away from Deren with a look of disgust on his face.

"It was you." Cali's voice was venomous contradictory to her sweet face as she remembered his face. Clovis looked back and fourth between the people in the room trying to put together what had happened, her eyes then drifted to Cali's hands which where white and trembling fists. There was the distinctive smell of rage under her floral perfume which she found unpleasant. Clovis returned her gaze to the wall of the tent and kept her guard up, ready to bring down the tent if they decided to get aggressive.

Karm didn't know what she was referring to but could clearly detect the rage she was barely holding in check. "Have we met?" He asked carefully.

"You killed my family you bastard! Yes we have met!" She thrust the rifle close to his stomach, it took her nearly all her self restraint not to pull the trigger. The fact that this might not have been this man didn't matter to her. He was under the man who ordered the attack and that was all that consumed her mind.


Clovis jumped at Cali's sudden outburst and swivelled her head around with her sabre half drawn but a chilling look from Cali made her sheath it again but she returned the glare as her instincts wouldn't let her back down completely.

Karm didn't flinch from the barrel and he locked eyes with Cali. He had no idea who her family might be and knew that he might have in fact killed them. In all his years of service Deren had killed or ordered the deaths of countless people some of whom had been civilians. It was not a duty he was proud of but one he never flinched from. Deren had been raised to respect the chain of command and to follow any order.

Taking a step closer he pressed his stomach to the barrel and said. "They were at Werzberg right?"



Spencer put a hand on Clovis' shoulder. The grip was gentle but his hands were large and powerful. "Let's continue our discussion outside madam." He glanced at Cali and Karm. "These two have some catching up to do."

Spencer had known Cali for years and knew the death of her family was a painful memory. If confronting and killing Deren would ease that pain some Spencer wanted her to have the chance with some privacy and no interruptions.

A muscle in Clovis's jaw tightened, the last thing she wanted to do was leave this woman alone with Deren but hesitantly she stepped outside eyeing the gun. One of the men who escorted her towards the tent pointed his rifle at her making sure she didn't try to run away, in return Clovis growled threateningly in a very inhuman voice. The man took a step back startled and confused but Clovis didn't care. Getting captured hurt her pride and killing someone put her in a foul mood.


Inside the tent Cali's voice could clearly be heard.
"That's right, in Werzberg my husband and five year old son were shot." Towards the end her voice trembled and she hated herself for it. "Don't you feel anything?" She hissed the question through clenched teeth as if it were a statement. To her it seemed like years before Deren answered.

Deren didn't break eye contact with Cali as the images of the bodies on a little street in Wurzberg. "Of course I feel sorry for the families of the causalities from that day but it wasn't our fault. We were out there to keep a mob from lynching our commanding officer. They rushed us and the first shot was fired on their side not ours. What were we supposed to do?"



Outside Spencer gave Clovis a comforting smile. "Don't worry about Karm. He'll be fine." Spencer said and sounded convincing even through he expected to hear a shot at any second.

The alchemist crossed his arms and looked Clovis up and down then asked. "You're a chimera right?"

"So what if I am?" Clovis crossed her arms and tried to look defiant but inside she was shaken. This was the first time someone had ever noticed that side of her. Her attention was now focused on Spencer, she had no reason to hold her lionself back.


Cali could feel that her voice was becoming louder as she talked.
"Since you were so excellent in holding us back couldn't you have done that to your commander when he raped that girl? Whose fault is that?" She spoke the last sentence slowly as she regained control of the volume of her voice.

Spencer raised his hands in a mock show of defense. "Easy. There is nothing wrong with it. Especially since I doubt you chose it." He walked in a slow circle around Clovis and explained. "Like I said. I was a State Alchemist for many years. I even served with your friend Deren for a while but before that I worked on a special project that tried to create chimera soldiers for the government." He paused and shivered slightly at the memory. "Nasty business. I demanded a transfer after witnessing the first human trial."

Spencer stopped and locked eyes with Clovis. "What I don't get is why you would work for a government that commits such acts?"




Deren flinched slightly at the accusation but regained his composure quickly. "That wasn't my responsibility. What the Colonel did was wrong but it should have been dealt with through proper channels. Had you people just waited Central would have investigated and a court martial would have brought that girl justice." Karm shook his head slowly. "Those people didn't give me any other choice. I had to protect my men." The captain said softly repeating the words that had brought him little comfort over the years.

Clovis never blinked when she locked eyes with Spencer. Despite the confident exterior she was struggling for an answer. She was thankful that they saved her life yet hated them for turning her into what she was. While debating against herself she wondered what happened to the other chimera that escaped. Unable to come up with a decent excuse she simply said what she told everyone.
"It's my job. I do anything from babysitting to assassinations as long as I get paid."




Cali didn't back down. " Then how long would it have taken for Central to give justice? What would they have done, strip him from his rank and tell his wife that she wasn't good enough for him?" She scoffed and took a step back withdrawing the rifle, leaning it on her shoulder with her finger still placed lightly on the trigger. "Maybe in the worst case they would put him under house arrest."
