Roy stared ahead as he walked, not registering what he was looking at as his thoughts whirled in his head. There was still so much they didn't know about this place, about everything. And while he refused to show it, it frustrated him.
He still couldn't shake the unsettling idea that had struck during his talk with Riza. The fact that they were on an island would only make it easier to make a transmutation circle that large, more so since no one could leave with the monsters patrolling. But how would they be able to make it without someone noticing? Well, they'd been doing that at home, so he doubted that would be difficult, especially when they could bring people here without anyone even realizing what happened until they woke up.
And what about what that kid had said on the network about people disappearing? What happened to them? Roy thought about Laboratory 5. The government had used live people in experiments before; who could say that wasn't what's going here? It made sense, didn't it? And Riza did say she expected the military or government - or both, he remembered with a grimace - was involved.
Everything he'd heard and seen for himself all seemed to point right back to the problem they were having in Amestris. There were too many similarities for him to count that out.
He sighed. They'd been taken from one hell to another, hadn't they?
