The Snake Eater Diaries

By Phoenix of FREAKSHOW

Chapter 2: Sokolov

Location: The warehouse, just south of Graniny Gorki, Operation Snake Eater

How long do they intend to keep me here? Caged up like an animal. Not to mention, they're all here. Volgin, Ocelot, that Boss woman.

And Tanya.

I hate seeing her hurt like that. Truthfully, I'd hate seeing anyone hurt like that. Except maybe Volgin. Or Ocelot. Maybe even that Boss. Although, I'm not sure of her. She did save my life, after all. And I feel bad for her in a way. They DID frame her for that explosion. But I'd expect nothing less from a monster like Volgin. Ok, so he's way incredibly off on the whole "Me and Tanya as lovers" thing, but he's pretty shrewd. It's a miracle that The Boss hasn't caught on. Or maybe she has. If she knows, it's a miracle that Volgin's not dead yet.

Granted, it could be that she doesn't care. I mean, she did throw that CIA man off the bridge. I wonder now if he's all right, if he even survived. I think he did. There's something about him; Something that makes me just know he survived that fall.

But enough of that. I've got enough to worry about.

It's going to be a miracle if I live through this. And I so want to see my family again. My daughter, it's been two years since I've seen her face. Two years since I held my wife in my arms. And I may never get the chance to do so again.

I just have to hold on.
