Summary: "So it's just a poltergeist, they think?"
Winry was about to go stir-crazy when the case came in. It came from Russell, of all people … Russell who had stepped in to fill the void in the hunting world that had opened when Bobby had died, Russell who Ed would go to the grave cursing his name and Winry didn’t have the first clue why … something normal, sounded like a standard-issue salt-and-burn.
Al waved her off, he wasn’t interested in leaving the bunker, and Ed had departed two days earlier with no warning. (“Gone to meet his angel butt-buddy,” Al had grunted, and she swore the frown lines on Mustang’s forehead got deeper.) That left Roy, and …
Well, Roy.
They sat in silence in his car, the road stretched before them, Winry staring out the window and Roy staring straight ahead. Their relationship was complicated, even moreso than either had felt comfortable revealing to Ed. They had finally resolved SOMETHING, Ed was the happiest she’d seen him since almost two years ago now and Roy was acting like a human being again, so there was that. She sighed, ran her fingers through her hair and looked down at her cell phone.
“So it’s just a poltergeist, they think?” Roy’s voice surprised her and she glanced up at him. “Poltergeist activity doesn’t usually require a salt and burn, it’s not often even an actual ghost."
"Well, it is a spirit-form,” Winry said. “Russell didn’t think it was an actual poltergeist though, he thought it tied in to the renovations being done on the local founding church."
"Ah,” Roy said. “Something got disturbed that had been sleeping."
"Most likely,” Winry acknowledged. She looked back down at her phone. “Do you really think Ed is out with the angel?"
"No,” Roy said softly. “I know he’s not.”
