Shadow Moses

I was in the torture chamber in the Shadow Moses compound, which was

currently being over-run by terrorists. The room I was in was the holding cell. The only

thing in the cell was a small bed, which was about an inch thick.

Suddenly, Meryl ran into the room. "Snake! We have to get out of here NOW!"

She was a 5'5" shoulder-length red-headed, She also has dark brown eyes, and she was an American girl. She was wearing a stealth camouflage combat suit.

She handed him a worn out .50 Beowulf, it had a silencer onto it. It was a fully automatic 30-round capability machine gun. "Thanks Meryl." Snake said.

Snake and Meryl ran out of the room.

"Hey….where's the guard?" Snake asked Meryl.

"… I killed him?" Meryl said.

"Well, the first thing is to NOT KILL ANYONE! This is supposed to be a sneaking mission!" snake yelled.

"OK!! god, take a chill pill, ya scared the bats in the ceiling." Meryl sarcastically said.

Snake and Meryl ran down the hallway, taking out a few guards along the way.

"I thought you said not to kill anyone?" Meryl asked.

"…Ya, whatever." Snake said.

When they ran through the hangar door, there was a surveillance camera pointed straight at them. "INTRUDER IN THE HANGAR!!" a guard yelled out over the intercom.

"Go! Find a truck! I'll hold 'em off!" Snake yelled.

Meryl's Point of View

While Meryl ran towards one of the trucks, she heard gunshots in back of her. Snake was in the hallway. Meryl tried a few of the trucks, and all of them either had no keys, or didn't work. Meryl ran to the last truck, it had keys in it. "Snake! Let's go!" The truck even had a fully automatic .50 caliber rifle attached to the back of it. Meryl turned the key on. She could hear shooting in the background. "Snake! Hurry up!" She tried fining a way out, when she saw a chain-link fence, Snake ran into the hangar and jumped onto the back of the truck.

Snake's POV

Snake grabbed hold and pressed the trigger while turning the gun "GO!" Snake aimed at the door, still shooting at it. Meryl slammed through the chain-link fence. an enemy ran through the door shooting at Snake. Snake got shot in the arm. "argh!" It stung like an oversized needle. They were down the road a long way by now, Snake sat down in the back. He tended to his wound.

"Thanks Meryl…"

"Your welcome."
