Metal Gear Solid: Shadow Agenda
Epilogue
Washington D.C., 6:00 P.M.
As the helicopter landed in D.C., Burnham came running out. He had little time to waste. The president was expecting the information almost immediately. Burnham came running through the doors of the white house, holding the disks up in the air.
"Mr. President! Mr. President!", he came in screaming."I have them."
The president came to greet Burnham.
"Fisher, did you get them?", The president asked Burnham.
"Yes sir. Oh, and please don't call me by my real name sir."
"Oh, I am sorry.", the president apologized.
The two of them walked back to the oval office, the disks in the hands of the president.
"Everything went according to plan sir. Snake came and ruined everything just as we expected. Ocelot must now resort to his backup plan."
"Good. Call the former U.N. and the World Council. Tell them we now have everything we need. We can now strike at Ocelot."
"Yes sir."
"And secure these disks. Have them decrypted immediately. I want to know what Ocelot has on them."
"Of course."
"Oh, and Burnham, I am sorry about your men. It is a great loss for all of us."
"Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. They were like sons to me."
Burnham turned to walk out of the office, and then paused, turning around.
"Sir, one last thing.", Burnham said."What about Snake? He did do us a big favor, and is kind of a hero. He will probably go after Ocelot himself. Should we try and contact him and get him out of danger."
"No!", the president said."Snake is of less concern to me now. We have to strike immeditaely, before Ocelot gets on his feet again. Otherwise, we could miss our opportunity."
Burnham sighed for a moment.
"Of course sir."
Burnham walked out of the office, shutting the door as he left.
...Meanwhile...
Spain, 7:00 P.M.
Mr. White sat across from Ocelot, waiting patiently as Ocelot closed his eyes. He looked out into the sunset, admiring how graceful it was. Though he lacked most compasion, he could appreciate a sunset every once in a while. Ocelot then opened his eyes, a slight smile still on his face. Mr. White was intrigued by the smile.
"Why are you smiling, Ocelot? We've lost nearly everything."
Ocelot began to laugh.
"Oh, Mr. White. If only that were true. By now Burnham has discovered my trick, I'm sure."
"Trick, Ocelot?"
"Oh yes. Did you really think I would just allow him to take the disks from me. Come now, I am not that stupid. I knew he was false from the beginning, I just didn't know how false. That is why..."
Ocelot held up a silver case for carrying tiny optical disks.
"...I never let them out of my sight. I had them the whole time. It's amazing what people will believe when they are desperate. Burnham should have known better."
Mr. White smiled. He liked the way Ocelot used trickery so well to get what he wanted.
"Now, it's time.", Ocelot said."I am going to give Snake a little surprise to deal with."
He picked up a codec and truned it to frequency 101.5.
"Hello."
"This is Edward Ship."
"Edward, it's me."
"Oh...hello sir. What do you need?"
"It's time to awaken Jack. I want him up and ready to go. We're not letting Snake off so easily."
Edward gave a small laugh.
"Yes, of course sir."
