Metal Gear Solid

The Twin Snakes

Prologue

(Told from Snake's POV)

I sat in my cabin smoking favorite brand life wasn't perfect but it was much improved. I was finally free of FOX-HOUND. No more sneaking into heavily guarded bases only to be betrayed and tricked into fighting a huge bipedal tank called Metal Gear. I blew a cloud of smoke up into the air. It was so damn quite in the cabin so I got up and turned on the radio. This was one of those things I had not been able to enjoy in my days as a covert operative. As I turned the radio knob, I heard a footstep outside the door. I growled. I looked at the Five-Seven hand gun that I always kept. I grabbed it quickly, but silently. I moved so swiftly that I heard my hair shift with my shoulders, I had a shoulder length blonde mullet, and a pretty hairy face too. I did not imagine that footstep. I rolled out of the way as a man in full Kevlar armor wielding an M4 kicked in my door. Three more guys armed like him followed up. The man put his barrel to my chest I raised my hands and the bastard put the butt of his rifle into my face everything went black.
