As he twisted and turned in his sleep, Snake slowly awoke knowing what his dreams were. He could see Meryl get hit by the 30.08 slug shortly after it left Sniper Wolf's rifle. Seeing Gray Fox's limbs and body bend unnaturally as the enormous foot of the bi petal monster, Metal Gear Rex, slam down on him. He could still hear his words echoing in the air: Tell her I did it! Tell her I killed her parents. Then he saw Liquid's face as he reached out for his hand uttering Fox Die. As he saw his brother's face he sat up in a cold sweat knowing that they both look exactly alike. He had put him self in his shoes for that brief moment and wondered when he would go.

He placed his hand over his face and looked down at the sheets. A soft white linen. He wiped the sweat off his face and looked around the room. It was blank. A window and a bed. The bed was plain. The head rest and foot was a metal bar frame painted with a light gray. The walls were white. The window was barred and covered with a material that made it blurry.

He got up and out of the bed trying to figure out what happened and where he was. He went to the door and tried it. Locked. How did I get here? His mind started to weigh the possibilities, caught by the government on my way to the safe house, why not every thing seemed to be a blur when he thought about when he, Meryl and Otacon left the base. He sat on the bed and tried to think of a way to get out when the door was knocked on. The doors latches unlock and the knob turns slowly. Reacting he gets off the bed and tries to look for cover or a weapon. A man steps in and looks right at Snake "You have a visitor. Follow me,"

Visitors? He accepted this and did as he was told. Rather then fighting with out knowing what is going on around him he figured it would just be easier to obey and survey the area.

The other man waited. Sitting in a chair wearing a suit and a thin wire frame pair of glasses he flipped through some papers. The visitors name tag said his name was Hal Emmerich. David, no Snake that was what he wanted to be called, had walked into the room and sat down. The two orderlies stood just out side the door. He sat down in the chair and looked at Hal like he was a sight for sore eyes. "Otacon! What the hell is going on here?"

"David. We went over this. I am Hal. I never used the name Otacon," once again as like the last time he told him that he was taken back. "What are you talking about? Why are you using my name? Don't you remember the Alaskan base? Liquid? Anything?!" Hal was hurt. They went over this a massive amount of time. Last week he went on about how he killed his father. Big Boss was the colorful name he gave him.

He said that he fought him hand to...what was it he called it again? Metal Gear. A massive bi-pedal tank that was made to go and unleash hell on other countries and he fought this alone. There were times he began to wonder if he told the truth when he would say specs of things that would seem to hold up, but as a civilian it would seem it would hold up. Then he started to say things like the other day "Hal. You told me how you help build Rex! You worked with Arms Tech so that you can help the U.S. achieve good fire power to protect the country and its allies. You were in love with Sniper Wolf!" it bothered him.

All David did was go on about this and now. "David," he leaned forward and prayed he would get it through to him "There is no Alaskan base. I wasn't in love with anyone for a long time. You are in an institute to help you get better. You were in a snowmobile accident. The woman you were with didn't make it and since then you were going on about this so called mission."

Snake listened to him. His mind started to wander. What the hell is going on?! He slammed his hands on the table making Hal jump back. "NO! I talked to you over a codec! You saved my life! I saw it all so clearly!" a guard busted into the room and took a hold of Snake. He was immediately on the floor and got pulled up into his arms. He had him in a hold that was a move that was known only to a few. The loud pop of a spinal cord separating from a skull echoed in the room. Snake dropped the body.

The next orderly ran in with a shock stick. He swung it at him. Flowing almost as if he was the air he had gotten around the stick. "DAVID!" Hal called out. The distraction was enough for the orderly to swing around and knock him down and out.

Finally coming to he heads to the door. "Get me the hell out of here!!!" he pounded his fists on the door. His calls went on unheard.
