"I'm beginning to think you aren't taking this job seriously."

Offended, Snake growled into the phone, "You knew how long it would take to find Pandora when you hired me. I assure you, you'll get your gem."

"Then why is that damn thief who threatened to destroy it still alive?"

"It's not easy to corner him without witnesses; the bastard's slippery."

"Let me make myself clear: collateral damage isn't an issue; publicity is only a problem if you leave evidence. I want him eradicated."

A cruel grin stretched across Snake's face as he replied, "Understood, Boss."


A/N: Prompt word: eradicate- to do away with completely as if by pulling up by the roots

Anyone else forget that Snake was hired by some rich dude and actually has no interest in the magic rock other than getting paid?
