Summary; It seems the coup will have to wait, for Roy and Riza are no longer in Central.
Log;

So it had started. Whether or not the gamble would pay off was a question that Roy could not even answer. The truth about everything that he had learned since the death of Maes Hughes had been leading up until this point. Maybe it was a trap, for they knew of Roy's intentions, and had even gone as far as to try to separate him from those that he trusted. A sore point there, but if anything, only a mild setback. What he could say was that so far it was going according to plan. His seemingly rag-tag group of four, five if you included Second Lieutenant Hayate had started off their assault on Central without a death in sight, only to gain momentum.

Now though they had seemingly withdrawn after leaving the city in the truck provided by Maria Ross. Of course Roy had been surprised when he had heard the voice on the other end of the phone being none other than Jean Havoc. He shouldn't have been surprised though, considering these were the people whom he trusted his life with and shared his dreams. While Havoc might technically be out of the running, it didn't mean that he wouldn't still offer his share in any way that he could, and Roy had not been joking when he had said that the owner would be paying.

There were decisions to be made now while the timing was still good. Roy turned, his attention on Riza's back. For now the woods would protect them until they made their next move, but time was an issue, and Roy knew that the longer it took, the bigger the chance that things would start to fall apart. It was quiet out here, almost too quiet. He had only walked a few paces from the truck, but as Roy turned to look back over his shoulder to address the group of those gathered, there was only more woods. He paused. No, he had not walked that far, but no matter where Roy happened to look, he could not see the slightest gleam of the vehicle or his other state military. Clearing his throat, Roy turned to look once more at Riza, for she, it seemed, was still where she was meant to be, even if everyone else was not. "Lieutenant."
