Forte: Johnny's getting canned? Why?
Beelzemon: He's already 'canned' if you think about it.
Forte: . Ah. I get it. he's stuck in the can since there's no paper.

Chapter 14 - Bitter memories.
"Geez. There's nothing behind ANY of the level one OR two doors." Meryl complained.
"{Cough-cough.} All the vents are blocked off until we get some kind of explosive better than grenades. {Cough!}" Raiden said after jumping out of a vent.
"None of the guards have any key cards higher than two." Snake added.
"So we're stuck?" Meryl asked.
"That's just damn great." Raiden commented, ".Wait. we could try to purposely get spotted. then the reinforcements will open the three doors to get in and."
"No good. we shot out all the cameras, all the guards are dead, and the only place left to look is the bathrooms." Snake informed him.
". Well. let's get cracking."
"Huh?" Meryl and Snake said in unison.
"Look, I'd rather check the bathrooms then just stand around."
"Fine."
Then they head into the Men's bathroom, and get a surprise.
"HEY GUYS! HELP ME OUT HERE! THERE'S NO PAPER!"
Meryl recognized the voice as the guy who she heard earlier. She decided to have a little fun.
"How long have you been in there?" She asked in her best impersonation of a man's voice.
". HOLY COW! ABOUT TWO AND A HALF HOURS ACCORDING TO MY WATCH!!!!!"
"Well. I lost my level three card. if I help you, can I borrow yours?"
Meryl knew it was a gamble, but.
"Go ahead. in fact, I have five of 'em since some of the others gave them to me for safe keeping while they. um. finish up a few things."
". How about three? My two buddies outside the room lost their cards too."
"How did you do that?"
Raiden decided to play along. He opened the door, pretending to walk in.
"Hey Red?" Raiden said, obviously unable to think of a better name, "What's the hold up? Those magazines don't read themselves."
Snake sighed, and leaned against the wall. As long as they could get further, he didn't care if they went so far as to start acting like Naomi and Otacon.
'.What am I thinking? Of COURSE I care if they start acting like them. I'd rather fight ten Metal Gears at once then be bored to death.'
Johnny replied to Raiden's little gag.
". So you were with the others, huh? NOW I get it. you're cards fell out of your pockets, and down the gratings in that room with the pipes."
Snake then remembered a bunch of guards in that room looking at magazines they put on the floor. Raiden obviously remembered that too.
"Here's you're paper." Meryl said as she rolled it into Johnny's stall.
Johnny then slid the cards out. The three picked them up. Then Meryl said something, dropping her male impersonation.
"Even _ I _ don't think you need to suffer in there THAT long for calling me a bitch."
Then they ran off and through a level three door as Johnny realized the same woman that caused his problem had just conned him out of the level three cards.
"Oh-no."
Back with our heroes, Snake had to comment on their game.
"Did you HAVE to continue the impersonation after he told us he had level three cards?"
"It was fun." Raiden said.
"Besides. would YOU like it if you were stuck in the bathroom for two hours and then shot dead?" Meryl added.
Snake had no reply. They continued on the walkway, and then Meryl collapsed as a bullet shot through her leg. Snake and Raiden took cover. Then they called Otacon.
Otacon! Someone's firing at us, and we can't see them. Where are they? Snake asked.
Otacon checked the wide range radar he was using to keep track of them.
The only signal outside on that walkway is a long way down on it.
Then someone cut in on his transmission.
This is just like old times, right Snake?
Both Snake and Otacon thought they knew the voice and the image of the woman's face being transmitted.
Who is this?
Do you know why I saved you from Falcon? You of all people should know Snake. After all. you're my special prey.
Then it hit them.
WOLF? IMPOSSIBLE!
Is that right? I wonder then. how Liquid is back.
Wolf? Otacon asked weakly, Wolf? YOU'RE ALIVE! THANK GOD YOU'RE ALIVE! I.
QUIET! Snake. I'm surprised. bringing a boy along.
HEY! Raiden shouted.
Well then. let's see if you can be of any help to him, shall we?
Then she cut transmission.
Otacon, where is there a sniper rifle?
I. I won't tell you.
///////////////////////////////////////
That's right; Otacon's crush on Wolf hasn't died. Can they find one on their own?
Forte: You'd think the nerd would learn.
Beelzemon: He's already 'canned' if you think about it.
Forte: . Ah. I get it. he's stuck in the can since there's no paper.
