Unlike me. Well anyway, here's the 3rd chapter in "Take Me With You".
Enjoy! ^^
Chapter 3: "Cold Rain"
"On the road again." I sang sarcastically as I stepped down into the icy cold New York Harbor water. The chilling water inched its way up my black sneaking suit and froze my joints of my knee. "You would think that this water would be warmer than this."
"Well, this is part of the Atlantic Ocean and if you haven't picked up an atlas in a while, New York is a northern state. And don't forget it is about 2 o'clock A.M. There's no sun to heat the water, Rhapsody," Hawk told me.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Now, can we go over this little mission one more time? We gotta swim to this oil spill cleaning facility thing, go in it, infiltrate, bring down the terrorist leader, and find out if there is a new Metal Gear? Right?"
"Correct. But did you know that a couple years back that this place we are going to blew up. They built it back up. If we are totally off on this Metal Gear thing and it's just a rumor, then it should just be a plain ol' plant. Let's hope that's all it is," Hawk said as the water made its way to our necks.
I went out in the water until I couldn't feel the muddy bottom. I turned back to Hawk who started to swim already towards me. I picked up my feet and started to dog paddle around. "How far out is it?" I asked with chattering teeth.
"Um. About 400 yards. I don't think girls like you know how long that is. About 4 foot ball fields," Hawk said sarcastically.
"Funny Hawk, very fun-fun-funny." I said again chattering. I dove underwater and thankfully we had something covering our heads.
We swam further in the icy water and I saw an outline of a big. Well, thing. It looked like it was floating on the water, but I knew that is where we were heading. I dove back under and continued swimming.
After what seemed like an eternity in the water we were near the cleaning plant. I looked over to Hawk who was observing the massive compound.
"So brainiac, how are we gonna get in?"
"I'm thinking."
Hawk kept staring at the building and I could tell he was concentrating hard. He always bit his lower lip when he thought hard.
I sighed heavily. "I knew we shoulda taken the chopper. We could've pretended we were Navy SEALS!" I said irritated.
Hawk stopped biting his lower lip and looked at me. "Where there's a will, there's a way and hopefully I won't have to use my way. Rhap put on your snorkel! We gotta go sea diving!"
"Oh God. I can't wait to see * this * plan." I slid on my oxygen mask and waited for Hawk to put on his.
We dove under and came to a mesh like fencing. I looked around and saw a hole cut in the fence. I looked to Hawk and he motioned for me to go on in. We swam through and surfaced on the other side. We were in some kind of loading dock.
"Well, that went better than expected," Hawk grunted.
"And what was your plan?"
"Bust a hole through the fence. With this!" Hawk pulled out a small grenade launcher.
"How long have you had that?!" I yelled. "I got it from Boss. Nifty, huh?"
"Gimme that!" I said as I took the grenade launcher from him and threw it back in the water. "You gotta be fair! We can't go on a mission when you have a grenade launcher and I have." I took out a Bretta M9. "A gun that looks like a water pistol? What the h*** is this?" I yelled.
Hawk smiled. "Well then, you gotta be fair too." He took my M9 and threw it in the water too. "We gotta be fair," he mocked.
I shot a mean glare to him and started walking. "Funny. We are in a loading dock. You'd figure that there'd be an entrance for the boats to come in." I growled.
"Really. Well, we got a mission to do. Let's go."
I followed Hawk in another room. I noticed there were two guards that were dead. I went further in the room and saw someone else standing there. She wore a green tank top and camo pants.
"What's this?" I whispered.
I crept along some crates that lined the room and continued to watch her. Hawk ran across to the other side of the room and watched from there. I pressed my finger against my ear and called Hawk on his CODEC.
"Hey Hawk, old buddy, old pal. I wonder who this lady is?" I asked.
"I dunno. She has an AK-47, so I wouldn't mess with her. She looks kinda maniacal too. Be careful, and please don't make a sound."
I nodded and got off the CODEC to watch her. I heard the elevator on her side of the room descend and open. The lady turned and saw a replacement guard.
"Start paroling the room. Watch out for anyone. If you see them, gun them down or call for reinforcements," the lady said. She had a Russian accent.
"Yes, Miss Cold Rain," the guard obeyed.
This so-called Cold Rain walked to the elevator and rode it up. I called Hawk again on the CODEC. "Hawk, old buddy, old pal. I'm back. I have a hunch that she's a terrorist. Maybe your theory about there being no Metal Gear is incorrect? We just might be putting her on my death list."
"Yeah, maybe. Too bad you threw away my grenade launcher," Hawk said.
"All's fair in love and war," I said and hung up. I snuck around to the guard and placed my arms around his neck.
"Night-y night." I said in his ear as I snapped his neck. I watched his body fall to the ground.
"Bingo, Rhapsody. Nice work," Hawk complimented.
"Thank you, thank you."
I pressed the button to ride the elevator up and knew that this just might be a mission that will be a little stranger than the rest. Maybe just a little stranger.
Okay, how was the 3rd chapter? I hope it was good enough to get some reviews. I'll come out with the 4th chapter faster than I did the 3rd so please keep checking for this. Thank you! ^^
