Coyote smiled and said "Thanks", but...she thought 'That's not what I meant'.
A mask. A smile that looked so real no one but she would ever know it was fake. Her eyes turned to Lily-Anna's trinket. "What a pretty bracelet"

For a spilt second, Lily-Anna's eyes widened but they soon returned to normal and she smiled. "Thanks." She said laughing. "It was my sister's alchemy circle...." she paused for a second, looking down back at it. "Before, she was killed anway."
Small tears began to roll down her checks. A girl of maybe ten lying over the body of a fifteen year old girl. "no, no, you can't die! Come on! Wake up!Brooky!! Wake up!!" she screamed at her older sister. "Shh, kid. You'll cause a scene." Her sister said softly smiling. "I'll....miss ya you know." She said. "But, but you can't leave me!Your not dying! Just hold on a few seconds more and someone'll be here!! Don't leave me!" "I'm not leaving you. I'll be right here, with you forever. Tell mom, I love her and......" she paused to catch her breath. "Don't do anything stupid." Closing her eyes, she drifted away. ---------------------------------------
"Come on, come on, I almost have this figured out!" Lily-Anna said smacking a text book. Three years had gone by and her alchemy hadn't gotten any better. "Come on, sis, help me out will ya?" She asked the empty space. It had been so long since Brooky died at the hand of the miltary. Lily-Anna swore that day to get her revenge but, she'd need to learn alchemy to it. "Jade, Jade River what on earth are you doing in there?" Her mother said banging on her door. "uh! Nothing mom!" She yelled back, shoving the books back under her sisters bed. Opening the door, her mother sighed. "Jade, please....please stay out of Lily-Anna's room."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mustang! I'm telling you, the cases are still hot! Look, all that was seen of the attacker was a bracelet, a blue cloak and hands! We have nothing to go on but that bracelet!" "Hawkeye, listen I doubt Lily-Anna is the same person." Roy said closing the file. Handing him another one Riza sighed. "Listen to this then. A girl, the same age as Lily-Anna was murdered on this day. The day you hired Lily-Anna." She paused to let him open the folder. "Her name was Lily-Anna River. She was the same age as Lily-Anna Brookel. She also had a younger sister named Jade. She was ten when her sister was killed." "Why are you showing me this? It happened five years ago." Roy said rasing an eye brow at her. "Because, Lily-Anna River was killed in friendly fire. It was an accident and she refused all medical help what so ever." She paused to let him take it all in. "A two months ago, a very talented alchemist killed a miltary man. Every week another person was killed up until this day. I think Lily-Anna Brookel had something to do with it."
Lily-Anna smiled as she looked up at Coyote. "its a boring story. I'm sure you don't want to hear it." She said.

Coyote stared at Lily-Anna. "It hurts a lot when you lose someone." she said softly. "You feel so empty, and you keep telling them they're not allowed to leave you..."
"How can you do this to me?! You promised!!!"
"But...they can't listen to you. So they tell you not to worry, and that everything will be okay. But you won't listen...you tell them they can't leave..."
"SHUT UP!!! YOU PROMISED!! YOU PROMISED!!! LILY!!!!"
"But...someday you have to let it go, and stop hiding behind their mask, Jade"

Hearing her name, her face grew pale. "What....what...what are you talking about?" She stuttered trying to get something out. "M-my name is Lily-Anna Brookel. W-where are you getting Jade from?" For the first time in her life, Jade River was scared. Lily-Anna Brookel had left and now her old self came back. 'What is Coyote tells? I'll be arrested! I've murdered people as Jade! What is going to happen?' Jade's mind just kept coming back to what Coyote was going to do.

There was a click as the door locked. "I knew, from the instant you joined the military, you weren't who you said were, because Lily-Anna was dead." Coyote said. "But...I could never quite put into place who you WERE until today, when you brought me that folder." she stood, beginning to pace. "I reckognised your face instantly...I mean, who wouldn't reckognise they're best friend's little sister's face"

Jade's face just kept getting paler as Coyote spoke. "Brooky....Brooky never mentioned you before." Jade said, her voice was soft. 'damn it! Coyote, I knew something wasn't right. Everything I planned. All my calutlations! They just.....went down the drain!' Jade thought. 'Months, years of hard work. All worthless now.'

"Of course she didn't..." Coyote said softly. "No one wants to tell their little sister their best friend became a state alchemist for the military at 15 years old"

By now, the shock had subsided. Jade River was only getting annoyed that every tiny little detail that'd she mapped out was thrown off course. "Brooky, Told me everything. She was a state alchemist to! You would know wouldn't you?!?" She said loudly, standing up. "This doesn't make sense! I mapped out everything! The timeing of the killings, the time Roy Mustang was to hire me, the Time I passed my alchemy test! EVERYTHING!" She paused and put her hair behind her ear. "I even mapped out my co-workers. Unfourtantly, I didn't map out you. So, What's you next move?" She hissed.

Coyote smiled. "Stand here and hope you grow up and decide not to kill me too" she answered.

Jade grinned. "I have nothing againest you Coyote. If you haven't noticed, all the men involed with Lily-Anna's murder are now dead! I killed them! I got my revenage! You would have done the same Coyote. I'm sure of it! I know everyone here. Every single person in this base. I studied them, mapped out everything. I know all about your little fling with Roy, I know everything!" She paused. What was she doing? Reveling everything she'd ever done, to Coyote Way! Sighing she sat back down in the chair. "I'm...I'm sorry....It's just that. My sister wasn't killed in Friendly Fire like they told us. She was murdered! I just.....got carried away."

"Oie vay," Coyote exclaimed. "Little fling? My dear girl, what I had with Roy Mustang was more than a little fling it was...well, I don't how to describe it, but...fling is not the word". She then paused again. "And you're right, a couple of years ago I may have tracked them all down and killed them, but now I know better, now I know that that won't get me anywhere and-well, Hello Leahy!"
A white dove sat at Coyote's window sill, staring at her. She went over and the bird jumped onto her shoulder, hiding it's head beneath her hiar. "Hehe, I guess Leah doesn't reckognise you, Jade"

"Um..I guess not. I don't reconise your dove either." She said cofused. Something seemed slightly familar about it but, Jade couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Doushita no?" Coyote asked the bird. Leahy cooed and the Shadow Alchemist. "He did what?" she said. The bird scuttled around in circles cooing. "Bakana!" Coyote exclaimed.
She turned to Jade. "Mustang's going to do something stupid. Isoginasai! We've got to go to his office" she said.
Roy Mustang stood on the balcony attached to his office staring downwards. He had to be sure she was worth this...

Nodding, Jade opened the door. "We'll go, on one condition. You swear not to tell anyone, ANYTHING I've told you." She said. "Okay?" Walking towards his office she smiled. Jade didn't care really, but it'd be nice to know she wasn't in any danger of being thrown in jail.

"I won't tell a soul" Coyote agreed quickly. "Jade, you have to understand the importance of the situation...Mustang is doing something REALLY REALLY stupid! He's considering suicide for some dumb ass reason, so we've got to hurry"
Was...she worth it? Was it really that bad?... ...
He couldn't pay attention. He would only get in the way in this state.
"MUSTANG! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Who was yelling?
"ROY!!!!!"
Slowly, he turned and stared at her blankly.
Sweat ran down her forehead and the wind blew her choppy black hair. Her coat hung around her and her pants and shirt clung to her skin. "Don't you...dare"
