A/N: I'm sooooo sorry this took so long! I hate my computer, It's been so
gay. The internet wasn't working so I couldn't upload any chapters. I was
finally able to get my cable modem set up, thank god. I'll try really hard
to get this going! Sorry again! Anyway, here's your chapter.
-------------------------
They walked on to the roof. The rain was falling gently. The roof was very
large, it could fit 3 helicopters on top of it. There was a large billboard
advertising Pepsi. They looked around for any one, or any thing. They found
nothing but puddles, old newspapers, and the elevator. They went into it,
and Meryl nervously pressed the only button: B8. The doors closed and the
elevator descended.
The silence nagged Raiden. "So, got any idea who 'she' is?" he asked. "No," he answered. "But she sounds familiar. Very familiar. I have no idea who, though, because almost all the women I've ever met are dead." "What if one of them was revived.like Grey Fox? Do you think they would do that?" Meryl queried. "I doubt it," Snake replied. "I think it would be too much of a hassle. Besides, after Grey Fox got out I'm sure they'd have much more and better security."
The elevator opened and they cautiously entered the dim room. It had gray walls and metal floors. It wasn't very big. The wall they faced as they entered the room had a large map of the continental U.S. Each state had a pin where it's capital was.
"What are they planning?" Snake thought.
The other two walls each had three clear doors. Each of the mini-rooms was packed with ammo, guns, knives, grenades, and mines. They all looked at each other. After a moment, they nodded and went into the rooms picking up and holstering anything they needed. Snake grabbed a Socom, a suppressor, and different kinds of grenades. He wanted to be prepared, but still travel lightly. When they regrouped in the larger room, they wondered what to do next.
After a minute, Meryl said, "What now? I don't think she coming. Maybe we should just lea-"
Meryl was cut off, by something. She started staring forward. Her eyes started to close.
"Meryl? Meryl what's wrong?" Snake walked up to her. He reached out to grab her but something was in his way. "What the hell?" He backed away.
Meryl fell to the ground unconscious. Snake pulled out his Socom. "Where are you?" "Dark Scorpion?" Raiden called out. "Good job, Jack. You're really getting good at this. Of course, though, you always were." Dark Scorpion showed himself. "You know, this stealth thing is really quite fun," he began circling the three, with Meryl on the floor, Snake and Raiden around her. "I can follow you.hear your conversations." He stopped, and then he smiled. "I can even read your minds." "What?" Snake asked incredulously. "You heard me right, Snake." His voice was low, almost at a whisper. "And there's almost nothing you can do to stop me." He smiled wickedly. "I can follow you, peer into your minds, even make you do things," he looked at Meryl, "that you wouldn't normally do." He floated up, and Meryl did too. "Take aim, Meryl." She obeyed. Her gun pointed right at them. She was ready to shoot. "So, heroes, what will you do?" He asked them. Snake and Raiden looked at each other. Then back at him. "We'll kill you," Snake replied coolly. He shot at Scorpion. As Scorpion grabbed Meryl and dodged the bullets, he called out, "Really now? Is that what you're going to do? Well I'm quite sorry, but your girlfriend and I have business to attend to. Shoot them!" Meryl shot 3 bullets at them. They tried to dodge, but Raiden was hit in the leg. He grunted in pain. "We will meet again, Snake!" Scorpion called. His voice echoed throughout the room as he and Meryl disappeared. "Meryl!" Snake shouted. He looked around for them, but they were gone. "Damn!" he punched the wall angrily. "Calm down, we'll find her." Raiden told him. Now where's that lady we were supposed to meet? She should be here by now!" He was holding his leg in pain. "It was a trick, she tricked us into coming here. Where Dark Scorpion was waiting." "I did no such thing!" The mysterious woman's voice called from the elevator door. The shadows covered her, but they faintly saw her figure. "I had no idea Dark Scorpion would be here. It was not my fault. Before you see me, Snake, be prepared." "I'm ready." he nervously replied. Raiden was on the floor holding his bloody leg. He was nervous. The woman walked out. "What the hell?! But you.you were killed. I killed you, Shadow Moses." ------------ A/N: Oooooh don't ya just hate how I leave ya hanging like this? LoL! Don't worry, I'll try really hard to have the next one up by Monday. Monday is my birthday, so I might be doing stuff this weekend. Don't worry, it will be up by Tuesday for sure. And I guarantee you'll find out who the mystery lady is. You might be able to tell.maybe not. I love mysteries.hehehe.
