"The remote in your hand is for you to hold on to your strength or to give up," the man in the trench coat walked past him as he tried to get out of the restraints of the table. "Press the green button to begin the action for you to regain your strength. The red one is to stop the machine and submit to the torture."
He turned and walked to a console. Snake got him self as ready as he could. The safety switch on the console was turned off and he could hear the hum of electricity flowing through the table. His small hairs stood on end. From what he could tell Ocelot's hairs were standing on end too. Only thing was that it was most likely out of excitement. The final beep emitted from the console and Snake jumped out of the bed that he was in. He landed hard on the floor screaming in pain as if he was still where he was in his dream. "MERYL!" he screamed knowing that he couldn't give up. He had to keep her alive. He wanted to.
The door opened and the orderly walked in with a look of concern on his face. "David?" he started to walk over to him. Snake got up with a sound that was in his throat that was much like a growl. "That isn't my name. I am Solid Snake. I was leaving a mission. I know this happened to me!" the orderly walked out quickly and slammed the door shut as Snake pounded on it "I know it happened!!! I remember it all!! Why are you doing this to me!?" the pounding dulled down and Snake gave up. He needed to get out. He knew he would. How was the question.
The car pulled up to the building and out stepped the colonel. Hal was waiting out side the main door and his face shifted from sorrow to eager. All he wanted to do was help David. He figured that Colonel Campbell would help. "Sir, thank you so much for coming here on short notice," he offered his hand. The colonel took it and gave a firm shake. "I want to see him alone. No cameras. No recording. Just me and him," they started walking together down the corridors of the plain walled institute. "I don't think I can do that. He is--," the colonel shook his head "You called me down here for him. I want to talk to him alone. DON'T have me make you pay for the travel and my wasted time." Hal thought for a second. Not about if he should do as he said, but about how he must have been when he was in charge of a unit. Must have said 'shoot him or I shoot you,' a lot, his thought had been brief and his answer was supposed to be final. The next thing he knew he and 6 orderlies were waiting outside an office. He looked eagerly at his watch wanting to know what was being said. There was a loud crash in the room and they all ran in. David was lying on the floor unconscious while the colonel stood up calmly.
Snake walked in the room expecting to see Otacon there. When he looked he saw a man older then he was. He was an army uniform. "Colonel!!" he got to the chair and sat down. "You are just the person I wanted to see!!"
"So, tell me what happened,"
"I don't know. All I remember is that the snowmobile flipped. I woke up here. Otacon is my doctor. He isn't confirming anything I say. Colonel what is going on?"
"You were brought here. They don't want you to remember,"
"Who?" Campbell shifted he didn't feel comfortable. "The government. They don't want you to remember because there were too many people involved in the operation. All they wanted was Metal Gear Rex. And you took that from them," he shifted in his chair. A small whishing noise echoed in the room. Snake went white. He pulled up in his hand a dart. "Colonel?! What the hell?!"
"The only thing that I am happy about is that Meryl isn't around to experience what you are," Snake stood up his blood rushing as he slowed down. "This never happened David. Hal forgot. You will too," Snake felt a rush of energy and tossed the table. He fell to the ground. Hal ran in with the orderlies and they stopped to look around seeing the mayhem that was around them. "He will be fine. He just needs some rest," he took a beat and looked at Snake. "Probably didn't sleep last night. Has for the story it doesn't hold up. I was in Iraq at that time. I wish I could tell you more, but," he motioned his hands as if pointing at the word 'classified'. He walked out with out saying anything else.
The colonel struggled on the other end of the codec. "Colonel, what else are you keeping from me?" Snake's voice was regretful that he had to ask it, but he needed too. They had to stop the people that were ready to destroy the world and get out of there. "Snake I am only a figure head here. I don't know all the details to the mission," Snake felt like he could never trust Roy Campbell again as a friend or as a superior officer again.
He rolled over in the bed and woke up slowly. "I need to get out of here."
