Chapter 4---A Peaceful Breakfeast
Bussiness was light today at Beth Isreal. The only real movement was the janitor washing the floor. The secretary was polishing her nails. The ER was completely empty. The only people here were those who already had scheduled appointments with their doctors.
Outside a blue Mazada with a rinkled bumper pulled into a VISTORS parking spot. Otacon, dressed in a sweater and jeans because he took the day off, stepped out of the drivers side door. Roy Campbell, now fully retired, but still dressed in a nice blue suit, was getting out of the passengers side.
"Think he's awake?" wondered Campbell.
Otacon looked at his watch, "It's 9:57, they feed the patients at 9:30, he should be awake then," Otacon replied. Campbell and Otacon closed the car doors and began to walk into the front entrance.
"Ah," Otacon ran back to the car and got a laptop and briefcase, "Almost forgot something."
Campbell walked up to the front desk while Otacon gazed at a nearby map of the hospital.
"Excuse me?" Roy said, "Which room is David..."
"Roy?" A womens voice called out from near the elevator. Campbell turned around, Naomi was there holding Snake's medical chart.
"Naomi..." Campbell murmered. Otacon and Roy walked over to her.
"It's been a long time Naomi," Roy said while giving her a friendly hug.
"Yeah, Snakes upstairs, I'll take you guys to him. Whose this?" She said looking at Otacon.
"I'm Hal Emmerich, or...uh...Otacon," Otacon replied.
"Oh, your that man from Shadow Moses Snake rescued!" Naomi remembered, "Now I remember you. Nice to meet you."
"Same here," Otacon said.
"Okay, let's go," Naomi said.
The three go into the elevator. Naomi hit the "3 and the 7" and the elevator began to move up. There was unpleasentness in the air, you could feal it. It'd been so long since Campbell and Naomi had seen each other. The last time he'd seen her, she was in handcuffs. It was a slow and long ride up. After about a minute, the bell rang, the elevator stopped, and the 3 got out.
"Right this way," Naomi said leading Campbell and Otacon down the yellow corador. However the two trailed behind.
"I'm getting a head ache," Roy said.
"Old age?" Chuckled Otacon handing Roy an bottle of Tylonal he had in his pocket.
"Very funny," Roy said taking a capsule, "I'm worried. It's been almost 6 years since Snake has seen me, and the as soon as he see's that briefcase in your hands, and that laptop, he's gonna know why we're here. If he doesn't except, who are we gonna give this job to?"
"Yeah, well, I'm sure he won't let us down," Otacon replied as they turned the corner.
"Here we are," Naomi said, stopping infront of a door. Room 213B. Roy and Otacon stood there, waiting for the other to go first.
"After you," Otacon said. Roy sighed and walked in.
Snake was sitting up in the bed. He was eating his breakfeast. Runny eggs, powdered milk, and burnt toast.
"That's looks tasty," joked Roy as he walked in. Snake's fork stopped in mid air, he just stared at Roy. Almost complete stillness, for about 10 seconds, then Naomi coughed to break up the tension.
"I think one of you say something," noted Otacon.
"Hi," Roy said simplisticly.
"Yeah, hi, it's good to see you again Roy, it really is," Snake said back.
"Definetly, but I had my own things that needed taking care of, but it is good to see you finally after all this time," Roy replied. Snake peaked around Roy and saw Otacon in the door. He then eyed the laptop and briefcase. Snake sighed. He just relealized what they wanted, and why Roy was here in person.
"I should have known, come on, sit down guys," Snake said. Otacon then walked in and shaked Naomi's hand,
"See you later."
"Okay," Naomi said and walked out of the room.
Otacon and Roy took two folding chairs from the other side of the room and sat down next to Snake.
"Get this slop off of my bed," Snake said refering to his breakfeast.
"Here, have this," Otacon said, handing him a buttered roll that he had hidden in his briefcase.
"Thank you," Snake said taking it.
"According to Dr. Hunter, your able to go home, your stable, and your ready for release, there was nothing major after they got you out of shock, so...we're taking you home Snake, we have something we need to discuss with you Snake," Campbell said.
"Your next mission," Otacon added. Snake looked down at the roll in his hands that he was eating, then out the window, he watched the snow flakes fall, the sun couldn't be completely seen. He knew this was coming. It was just a matter of time.
"Another mission, damn it."
