Chapter 2: Encounters of the Snake Kind: Part Two
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Dave?! What are you doing here?" I asked anxiously, surprised that I would see Dave there, but... it strangely suited him.
"Looking for Ocelot, just like you." He replied, as if he knew something that I did not.
"You knew what I was doing here, and you didn't tell me?" I asked as my temper rose, raising my gun closer to Dave's face.
"You didn't ask." Dave replied calmly.
"I don't care if I asked or not, you should have told me! What else do you know and your not telling me?!" I ordered angrily, tensing my fingers as if I were about to fire my weapon in Dave's face.
"I know a lot of things," Dave explained calmly, though I could tell just slightly that his tone of voice was rising with anticipation.
"Who are you, really, who are you?!" I demanded, practically yelling in Dave's face.
"Do you have nanocommunications?" Dave asked me, I gritted my teeth as my gun wavered slightly in front of the older man. I nodded. We switched over to our nanocommunications.
"Do you read me?" I could hear Dave's voice ask clearly.
"I read you."
"Good. My codename is Solid Snake, and I'm here for the same reason as you: To kill Ocelot and destroy Metal Gear RAY." Dave, or rather, Solid Snake, explained a little more thoroughly. So that is how I knew him... he was the Solid Snake the so-called 'hero'.
"When we met earlier, did you know who I was and what I was?" I asked; I wanted the truth from him, no beating around the bush this time!
"To put it simply: Yes." Dave, err... Snake replied. It disturbed me how blunt and truthful he was to me, even in the restaurant, it was obvious that he was quite the flirt... Olga had never mentioned anything like that about Snake...
"What else do you know?!" I demanded more answers from this man who had deceived me, now I knew where I knew him from.
"We don't have time for this; we can go and talk about this somewhere else. We have to leave, now." Snake told me firmly, but I still did not want to leave it at that.
"Give me one good reason to leave this like this!"
"This place is about to blow, I suggest if you don't want to be spread over a three mile radius we leave now."
Snake grabbed me by the arm tightly, almost hurting me. He was treating me as if I were green! It just made me boil. I ripped my arm out of his tight grip, hurting myself but I didn't care.
Snake turned to me, "What do you think you're doing? We have to get out of here, now!" I looked up at him, a soft growl rising in my throat at the sight of him.
"You're in such a rush to get out of here that you don't realize we're going the wrong way!" I yelled at him.
"Huh?" the brown haired mercenary grunted.
I looked up at the surprised expression on his face and relished in the fact that even the "Great Solid Snake" could screw up. After letting that detail burn into my memory I briskly turned away and walked away in the opposite direction. I made sure to put a little more sway to my hips because I knew he would be looking. Snake jogged slightly to catch up to my fast pace as I reached the elevator at the end of the hall.
"You didn't scope this place out before you came here, did you?" I asked him as we entered the elevator together.
Snake looked away as if he were angry but at the same time contemplating his answer. "My colleague gave me the layout of the place," Snake finally answered a little reluctantly.
"'Never trust someone else to do the job for you' I always say." I told him as I turned to smile softly at him and to my surprise the small smile was quickly returned.

AN: Sorry about having this chapter a little shorter than the first one. It is not that I wasn't able to write anything, I just could not find a good point to cut off the chapter and have a long chapter. Well, that will have to do for now. I hope everyone liked that! Please review and tell me what you thought!
