Chapter 7: The Flight
Peaty: "Sn... David how are yeh?" he acted jolly but I could see a hint of terror behind his smile
Snake: "Not so good Peaty, why you gotta lie to these pretty girls like that huh?"
Peaty: "I'm not lying. Girls cummon you gotta believe me." he was frantic but the girls left anyway disappointed with the wasted time they spent with him
Peaty: "Snake, why do have to do that to me huh? I was just having some fun."
Snake: "Your risking the exposure of our missions. Besides I was having a little fun too." I chuckled Peaty just gave a disgruntled grunt.
Otacon: "We require your assistance"
Peaty: "Yeah what is it"
Snake: "We need you to fly us to ANWAR"
Peaty: "Hell no! Not after you cost me a whole group of hot chicks!" he started to get really pissed, but it was understandable. Those girls were really hot!
Snake: "Listen, it's not like we won't pay you."
Peaty: "I know you guys are broke" he was right Philanthropy has been in a rut
Snake: "I didn't say with money. Is my eternal gratitude worth anything?" his wrinkly and bearded face broke into a friendly grin
Peaty: "You know I'd do anything for you guys. Besides what's an old man like me got to do anymore anyways." he was jolly, he really was a genuine human being. Always full of life and jubilance. And he was quite simple too, never too involved in his own affairs or in deep thought. He lived on his own which meant he could try and get twenty year olds in bed as much as he wanted... most of the time to no avail.
Peaty: "Meet me near Anastasia." he was referring to his plane that was all worn out from years and years of use.
Snake: "Right... um... we got a package we need to take with us."
Peaty: "What kind of package?" he was stern he new that it probably meant trouble for him
Snake: "You know... 'the package'" Peaty's brows furrowed then he got it.
Peaty: "That package?" I nodded then indicated the parking garage
Snake: "In the Jeep"
Peaty: "You still got that old Willy huh?"
Snake: "Never gonna' get rid of it"
Otacon: "Okay so when can we take the package to the plane"
Peaty: "First off, please call her Anastasia. But you can drop it off around three this morning and we'll head off about five. Till then get some rest, you look like hell." he smiled then headed out the door.
Snake: "We're going to have to get a hotel room so we can get ready."
Otacon: "Did the package happen to have my old lab coat?"
Snake: "What? You didn't bring it?"
Otacon: "I thought it was in the box."
Snake: "I am not going all the way back home for your jacket, you should have thought about it before."
Otacon: "OK mom."
We got to the local Motel 7 (due to copyright laws I can not use the other number) and rang the bell at the front desk. The manager came running out from the back.
Manager: "Can I help you sirs?" he had an almost fake sounding French accent
Otacon: "Yeah could we get a room for the night?"
Manager: "Yes let me see..." he started typing on the computer "All we have left at this time is the 'Lover's Suet'. is that ok?" Otacon looked over at me with a pissed of look in his eyes.
Snake: "What ever, let's just take that."
Manager: "We we, the Lover's Suet for the young couple." Otacon's eyes widened in horror
Otacon: "But..." I stopped him
Snake: "Thanks, let's go honey." Otacon's jaw dropped the manager tossed me the keys
We got to the room and the whole place was pink... I hate pink.
Otacon: "What the HELL was that about!?! I know our not..."
Snake: "Don't even go there. Don't you think it's a little suspicious that two guys are sharing a room?"
Otacon: "Yeah but..."
Snake: "Then don't you think it was awfully clever of me to cover up?"
Otacon: "Yeah but..."
Snake: "Ok then, we are at an understanding. Get some rest, I'll sleep on the couch." I woke up at two in the morning and got suited up.
Snake: "Otacon wakeup." he darted up
Otacon: "Wha...*yawn*"
Snake: "Let's go." we ran past the main desk, no one was there.
Peaty: "Let me help you with that," we lifted the casket into the cargo bay "The sneaking suit has survived well I see." he looked me up and down, the gray combat suit looked pretty much the same as the last time I used it. "Alright hop in guys I'll fire up the engine." we sat in dusty seats and the smell of smoke entered my lungs. Otacon sputtered and pulled out his inhaler. There was a roar and the propeller began to spin. The plane crept forward gaining speed steadily. The nose began to lift and then we were off. The ground looked so far away, it reminded me the view from REX, it looked so much taller than it actually was, hanging precariously by one hand looking down. But that was back in the day, now we have a new hybrid, a new threat. My hands shook, I needed a smoke but Otacon was still coughing. Beta... damn, what is wrong with people, we don't need anymore weapons. People say that war is a necessary evil... it really isn't. War is just completely illogical, people should not have to die over something like believing in a certain religion or something like land. It was all too much to think about right now, my nerves were shot. I looked out the window, wisps of clouds floated past the window and stars dotted the sky like little suspended diamonds shimmering with some sort of life force.
Peaty: "You okay there Snake?"
Snake: "Yeah..."
Peaty: "Yer awfully quiet."
Snake: "..." Otacon coughed some more and used his inhaler again
Peaty: "It's gonna be a long flight, you might as well sleep."
Snake: "..." I reclined the seat and shut my eyes, it only took a few minutes. The drone of the propellers faded away into nothing and gave way to utter blackness.
The plane shuddered and bounced off of the ground, I shot up from the seat and saw a snow covered runway.
Peaty: "OK fellas, we're here in Anchorage. Me an Otacon'll stay at a hotel for contact. I've arranged for a snowmobile to be delivered to the hotel so you'll have to stop there first."
Snake: "*sigh* I never thought I'd be back here
Peaty: "Sn... David how are yeh?" he acted jolly but I could see a hint of terror behind his smile
