Summary
Everyone knows about the brash Colonel and his irreplaceable Lieutenant. But before the trials of the homunculi, before the horrors of Ishval, they were just Mr. Mustang and Miss Hawkeye. A shared past forged in fire and fidelity. An uncertain future burdened with purpose. Can Riza and Roy carry the weight of Berthold Hawkeye's secrets?
Chapter 16: Checkmate
As the saying went, the eyes are a window to the soul, but Northrop Grumman did not agree. He knew better than most that eyes could lie, cheat and steal just as well as a forked tongue. Not all snakes slithered through the tall grass of a dry field or lay in wait at the low center of a wet ditch. Duplicitous creatures wore many different skins, and they occupied every tier of society from barrister to barmaid. No, the best way to divine the character of a person had nothing to do with physical attributes.
It was all in the way they played chess.
