"Back Home and Relaxed"
Ch 4 of series
wrote by Gray Fox
Dave landed on his bed first thing when he got into his apartment and threw his bags over to the side. Meryl was just as exausted herself and they were both out snoring within the minute.
Snake woke up with a slight headache and the need for some coffee. The mission was short of course but the travel in it was just exausting.
Dave walked over to the coffee pot to make a serving. After he started it he dragged himself to the living room and slumped on the soft couch. The gurgling sound of coffee brewing in the background made Snake at home again. He scuffled around searching through the pillows for the remote to the TV and turned it to CNN.
Snake didn't like the news and never did. The news led to the awarness of Philanthropy and their acts and it also was a mislead by the secret society the "Patriots". All he wanted was to see how the clean up from arsenal was going and how they (the "Patriots") put cover stories for it.
Nothing was on but sports and the coffee was already done. Meryl came shuffling out of the bedroom scratching her head. She smelled the aroma of fresh made coffee and made her way to the kitchen first thing.
They knew better than to say "Good Morning" to each other when they haven't woke up much, or all they would get in return was a grunt or nothing at all. They would usually be to sleepy to say anything anyway.
Dave got up and head to the bedroom to get ready for the day. He didn't plan much but to kinda kick around and relax for the day which was exactly on Meryl's list.
Snake laid out the most comfortable cloth's he could find and took a cold shower which woke him up in a heartbeat. Meryl was in the kitchen sitting down drinking her coffee reading one of her own magazines which got old because it was last month's issue so she went to watch TV instead.
It was ten in the morning and Snake came out of the bedroom wearing his slacks. He went to the kitchen to make something up for breakfast. Meryl thinking to herself "Finally he's out.. Must Take Relaxing Bath.." and forced herself up and into the bedroom.
The phone started ringing and Dave walked over to the Caller I.D. which said.
Calling...
Philanthropy
524-655-6541
He just ignored it and started making his batch of pancakes. Just as he was finished with enough to make him a plate the phone rang again. He once again ignored it and started putting butter in between the fluffly layers of pancakes he made. The sweet smell just made his mouth water. The syrup just added to the hunger pain and he just chowed down. He knew not to make Meryl a plate just yet b/c she would be bathing for another hour or so.
He finished his meal and cleaned up. It was almost time for Meryl to be out of there anyway so he just whipped up another batch. She came out dressed in comfy cloth's as well.
"Good Morning" she said.
"Good Morning to you" he replied finally awake
"Mmmmm, whats that smell?"
"Your plates on the counter. I just made it so it's not cold"
"Thank You.. Last time you forgot to wait and I had to eat cold eggs and toast"
She went into the kitchen to grab breakfast and Dave was kicked back in the recliner.
"Who called?... Oh nevermind.. It looks like Otacon or someone down there is trying to get ahold of us." Meryl said.
"I'll call him later." Snake groaned "He has no patience"
Meryl sat down to eat and Snake flipped the TV back over to the news. Finally some news on the Arsenal incident.
Just as he expected they had a cover story which was a new industrial prototype energy saving transport ship went out of control and crashed. It was the same news he heard before so he just flipped to something else he could find.
When Meryl was done she told Snake she was going down to Philanthropy for a little while to talk to Mei Ling. So She kissed Snake goodbye and he told her he would be there in a little bit. Her bright smile and presence was one of the only things that would make him happy.
Meryl walked down and through the streets. She now wore a skin tight shirt with some old blue jeans and had her Desert Eagle stuck in the back of her pants. She opened up the ever growing doors of Philanthropy known shortly as the "shop". It consisted of five floors. The first floor had a fountain with fish about and plants around the entrance with the main desk for appointments and security on entrance. Past the main desk were some of the offices used for non-military buisness paper work and the elevators. The second floor had the accountanting, money managing, or any other misc. used desk. The third floor consisted of the weapons and gear room. It had all of every weapon needed from an M9 tranqualizer gun to the Stinger Missle. The fourth floor was mission planning and review. A main screen and some computer projection systems were at the front for the operatives viewing on anything needed to see for the mission. Finally the fifth floor which contains the VR machine booths and Mei Lings personal super computers.
Meryl made her way past all the fast moving employees with handfulls of paper work to Mei Ling.
"Heya! How is it going?''
"Hmmm? Oh Meryl! Hey how did the mission go?" She replied back startled.
"It went okay. Dave's at home watching the TV. He said he would be here in a little while"
Mei Ling moved over and whipered, "You know Otacon's been having a rough time don't you? He hasn't left here for days much less slept."
"Really?Hmmm. I'm sure Dave will say somthing to him" Meryl winked.
Snake himself came into the shop but he had to stop by the gear room to drop his stuff off. He walked in the elevator and mashed a crystal three button. He entered in and went to the recieving desk. Guns were all along the walls along with gadgets. They had gotten so much of a collection that they put up a desk to keep up with the recieved gear and withdrawn gear.
"Thanks again" Snake said exiting.
He went up to the fifth floor where he was hoping Meryl would be. She had a habit of stopping somewhere and then leaving to somewhere else leaving him worried. Snake approached the VR booths and saw Otacon fixing a VR helmet.
Otacon was rewiring the helmet, It got busted during an advanced VR bomb disposal mission.
He was sleepy. He had bags under his eyes from working for days on end. From the outside he looked like a dirty pathetic hobo again.
"You okay?" Snake asked concerned
"Yeah yeah I'm fine." he said startled.
"Otacon. You've been here for days. Go to your place and get some sleep. I'm sure the other employees can handle it just as good."
"Your right." Hal gave in "I look terrible don't I? I'll just take a couple days off then"
"What would drive you to stay here to work anyway?"
"It's so lonely over at my place and I wanted to get alot of work done."
"Just get your stuff and get some sleep"
Otacon shuffled his way out hunched over like he had back problems.
Snake wandered around and head towards Mei Ling. He saw both Mei Ling and Meryl sitting around talking to each other. Meryl was sitting on a stool resting her feet on a worktable and Mei Ling was in her favorite and only computer chair. They were chatting away about whatever.
"Is Hal still here?" Mei Ling asked concerned.
"No I got him to go home for a couple of days. He looks terrible."
"I'm glad then. I'm about to go home myself" She said yawning "I've been up all night"
Meryl streched her arms out as a signal and looked at Snake. He groaned and looked around and of course alot of the other operatives there were out and about.
"Aww come on Snake. You know you want too."
She knew hugging Snake or anything like that embarrased him in when he was around the other workers.
"You know I don't like doing this in front of people"
He leaned over to put one arm around her and pat her on the back, but She drew him close with her arms giving him a good embarrasing hug.
"There" Meryl grinned "That wasn't so hard."
Meryl and Mei Ling both looked at each other and laughed. It was just too funny to watch Snake get red in the face around his friends.
"Your getting soft" Snake grunted "to soft"
Meryl got up and sweeped Snake knocking his feet from underhim. He let himself fall back and backflipped.
"Getting soft eh?"
Snake grabbed Meryl and rolled her over his shoulder onto the ground and into a possible chokehold.
"Yeah.. Soft"he grinned.
"Well not too soft anyway." Snake snorted "I'm gonna head back. It' getting late already and I'm still tired."
"Hold up Dave" Meryl said her goodbyes and caught up with Snake.
They walked out together and head back to their apartment. Meryl flopped down on the couch and Snake went to figure out some bills. After he was done he crept into the living room where she was now sound asleep. He carefully picked her up and set her on the bed in the other room. He pulled the cover's over her and then got into bed himself.
Snake turned on the bedroom TV and soon fell fast asleep himself. Tomorrow would be a bright new day.
