Snake hobbled toward the figure that seemed to be waiting for him in the shadows. Hauk's offer of a job only fueled his annoyance but seeing her waiting made it fade to the dull, usual hum of hatred. Snake pulled out the tape and started unwinding it in long streamers. He tossed sections away watching them flutter into the light.

"Is that the tape?" Her voice was hushed but amusement tainted it.

"Yeah." Snake held the destroyed tape out to her and she took it. Plissken moved past hearing it clatter to the ground as he focused on his destination. The humvee was only a few yards away but it could have been a mile with his leg.

"Snake." The hush voice came up to his side and he looked over at her. The smile was devious, a little mischievous like the first time he'd seen her peer out the Library door.

"Hmmm?" Snake questioned as he continued struggling.

"Take me with you." She was stoic not pleading like Maureen had when she asked the same of him. Snake rounded the humvee talking to her over the hood as he rested.

"Why?" Snake started again along the side toward the driver's door. She was coming around that side now too.

"If I stay here they'll put me back over the wall." She was calm but determined.

He knew what she said was probably true. Plissken opened the driver's side door and started struggling with his leg. He suddenly felt and arm around his waist pushing him in. He wanted to be reactionary against her but when he saw her standing there she seemed to be concerned. Snake's eye turned over to the firebase. Movement was starting and he wondered if they knew. His eye turned returned to Maggie who was still waiting for his answer. Her eyes were locked on the commotion too.

"Alright, get in." She instantly smiled and climbed in the back. Snake was already pulling away when she clamored up between the seats and buckled into the passenger side. Snake glanced at her when they hit the road. The look in Maggie's expression said everything. She was thankful and he may have just gained a new partner in crime. A smile cracked his expression as they pulled from the barricade gates without a hitch. Bonnie and Clyde, hell, they weren't anything compared to what the USPF just let loose.
