…It's been a week since I sent him on that mission in the East…

…It's been a month, and only Alphonse has been found. Ross and Armstrong found him in a small clinic in Liore. The doctor said that someone had found him in the middle of the desert. He has his body back, but no memory of how it happened…

…It's been six weeks since last saw his face, his golden hair, and liquid amber eyes. The search parties have found nothing. Hughes has started another search that he, himself is leading. Alphonse is back in Risembool. He is with the Rockbells', readjusting to his new body. Edward Elric has been officially announced by the Fuehrer as Missing in Action…

…It's been two months; Alphonse is back in the office trying to remember what happened. And when he has flashes of his memory back, he tells us immediately. What he has remembered so far is no help to us however. Hughes's search has found some leads, but they all turned out to be dead ends. Hawkeye's worried about me, I can tell, they all are. Scar hasn't been seen for months and there is no evidence of Scar being anywhere near the Elrics since their last stumble in Central…I'm starting to lose hope…

…It's been ten weeks now. Alphonse has finally remembered something, a description. Light purple, cat-like eyes, dark hair. And a tattoo…an ouroboros tattoo. Hughes and the rest of my team know, as well as the rest of Hughes's team knows. We now must continue the search, but in secret now. Because if anyone where to leak this to Bradley, then we'd all be screwed.
Alphonse pleads to be part of the investigation. Not many know that the boy has regained his body. I had to agree to his becoming part of it. But knowing that if anything ever happened to Alphonse, Edward would never forgive me. I told Alphonse that what ever he does and where ever he goes, Ross and Brosh must be with him and he must report all findings directly to me, by calling on public lines and calling my on my house phone. You truly never know who is listening in on military lines.

…It's been three months…my desk for once is clean; I'm ahead with my paper work. I take some of it home with me. It keeps me from thinking of what could happen, or what had happened to Edward. Hawkeye is now overly worried and Gracia sends Hughes over with dinner some night. I won't give up not until I reach the top…I promised Ed.
The Fuehrer is watching me and my team closely. It's hard to continue the investigation. Also it's hard knowing that I really can't trust anyone in the military, other than my team and Hughes'. Alphonse phoned the other night; they were back in Liore, asking around for the person who had found him. They have a lead and will call me later with more information. The Fuehrer wants to see me; my team is worried for me.

…I am a Brigadier General now, the Fuehrer promoted me as well as the rest of my team. I can't help but flinch. Another gunshot fired, closer this time. Guns fired on both sides of the battlefield. My team and I were promoted only to be sent to the frontlines of the war against Darchma. It's been another month…four months since I sent him off, and no word from him, no ransom from the homunculi, no body found. They say no news is good news…I'm not so sure.
Alphonse's lead was a fake, turns out there's no one in Liore with that description. Ross believes that it could have been a homunculus that brought Alphonse back. But that just brings up more questions…
I truly regret giving him that mission. It was a sudden spur of the moment thing. He had stormed into my office, all those months ago, complaining about how I had given him another childish, ridiculous crack-pot mission. It's true; I had been giving him easy tasks, and have been avoiding the missions involving danger. I had discovered my feelings for the young alchemist, and I couldn't bear to see him off on dangerous missions, and see him come back hurt, and covered in bandages, and that's if he's lucky.
It had been a bad day for me, though that's no excuse. Hawkeye had given me a ton of work to do, the paper work towered high over my head. I had a headache that day from Hughes talking to me late into the night about what Elysia had done that day. (I believe he was afraid one of the boys in her preschool class was going to whisk her away and marry her or something). And the moment I walking in to Central Command, he had cornered me and tired to make me come with him to get rid of the threat.
After successfully getting away from Hughes, once I walked into my office I had tripped over Fuery, who was trying to get Black Hayate out from under his desk, and bumped into Havoc, who was holding a cup of freshly poured coffee and Falman who was holding a pot of freshly brewed coffee. Efficiently ruining my uniform. Hawkeye sent Breda to find an extra uniform. She then proceeded to give me the paperwork.
Edward came in just after I had changed and was at the peak of my bad mood. And with him shouting at me, and my headache getting oh, so much worse. I grabbed the first mission file I had in the new stack of paperwork that I had yet to read. And took the file and threw it at Edward. Before leaning my head against my head to massage my forehead, and watched Edward's reaction.
He skimmed through the mission and with a pleased smirk left my office, slamming the door. I quickly slouched and took a nap before Hawkeye would notice.
It wasn't until a week later that I had found my copy of Edward's new assignment and read through it. I swear I could have killed myself then. I had sent him on the most dangerous mission in the stack. I had sent Edward to Ishbal to quiet a riot. It was the most stupidest think I have ever done.
Alphonse hasn't given up hope. Though I can't say the same for myself. Everyday the guilt grows and I worry more. I often have nightmares of what could be happening to Ed. And everyday my heart grows heavy with dread and I'm staring to lose hope.
Hughes and his team are still in central. So Brosh and Ross are still able to travel with Alphonse. I know Hughes worries for Edward constantly. Edward and Alphonse are like the sons he never had…

…six months…six months since he was in my office, whining, complaining…talking…
My team and I have been ordered back to Central…some suffered some minor injuries, but everyone is healing quickly except for me. But I have suffered this pain for six months. And I can only imagine that time will make it worse, not better.
Alphonse and Hughes have actually made progress while we were drafted. They managed to figure out that it was Envy who had taken a random person's appearance, and had brought Alphonse back. Ross and Brosh managed to slip the information to Hughes in my absence.
The Gate knows how long Hughes stayed up at night figuring this out. Hughes has managed to find out what all the labs and military buildings are doing and found something suspicious in Lab Three.
He told me that he and Armstrong had managed to get in with permission and found that there are some walls in the so-called basement that had been recently alchemized.
For the past week we have been planning in secret when to infiltrate the building. Soon, Edward will be found. I can finally hold him close and never let go. I can then tell him all of the things I have longed to tell him in the year and a half that has passed.
