I: Meryl?
Solid Snake woke up at his usual time on Monday moring, he went into the main bedroom to check and see if Meryl is home. Usually she is asleep in bed and Snake has to quietly get his clothes for work without disturbing her. This time when Snake went into the bedroom Meryl was no where to be seen. "hrmph she must have gotten tied up at the Reserves" Snake said to himself as he casually walked in and got his clothes for work. Snake fixed himself some eggs and bacon for brekfast and left a note on the kitchen table which read "Went to work-- call my cell when you get home." As Snake walked out the door all he thought about Meryl, and if she was alright-- if she was not home by the time he got back he would call the Reserves office to see ifshe was still on duty.
When Snake got to work one of the Scouts noticed that he was acting strangely, "Sir are you alright?" was the young man's question and Snake's reply was a simple but strict nod yes. Each hour passed and Snake became more worried because he had not heard from his girlfriend whom he loved more then anything else in the world. Finally when it was time to go home Snake rushed out of the traning base as fast as possible and drove home as fast as he could,being sure not to getpulled over. As Snake walked inside he found that someone had been in the house, for it had been torn apart so much that it looked as though the FBI searched it for criminal evidence. Sensing danger he pulled out his gun that he always had attached to his thigh in case of an emergency, as he looked through each room he saw drops of blood leading to the couple's main bedroom. As he went into the room he could see that there were several photos on the bed all turned over with bloodstained prints on them. Fear and anguish arose as Snake turned the photos over to see the horror of his worst nightmare-- the polaroid photos were of Meryl beaten and bloodied, and one was of Meryl tied to a chair bleeding with only her undergarments on. Fearing the worst, Snake suddenly noticed the message machine blinking, he quickly played the message. "Solid Snake...if you want to see your beloved girlfriend again I suggest you listen carefully... you call the cops Meryl dies... you are a trainedmercenary... you know how to kill and fight. So do as I say, first you have to go to a place that is not to far away but is riddled with memories... I will be watching you Snake." Snake was in shock as he quickly pressed the save button on the machine."What are you doing to her you bastard!" Snake yelled into the air, he couldn't get over the fact that he was being watched by Meryl's kidnapper. Snake then rushed into the closet to prepare to rescue his love andmake her kidnapper pay.
Snake quickly looked through the closet in hopes to find the proper clothing and equipment neccesary for this rescue. Driven by pure emotion Snake threw the clothes he didn't want to wear on the floor.Finally he decided on white camoflage pants, a white shirt and a leather jacket that was specifically made for CIA agents with hidden pockets for weapons as well as other gadgets. Snake then rushed to the garage which was loaded with ammo and varoius weapons he had collected over the years. Worried that he would make alot of noise, he searched the garage for suppressors for his weapons (supressor can be attached to some guns to eliminate the loud sound when fired), Snake also took his hunting knife and some food in a napsack.. As Snake was about to leave, Juno Snake's lead sled dog and the only one who lived in the house, came up to him. Juno sensed that his master was in a stress and nuzzled against Snake's leg and whimpered. "Hey buddy, you be a good dog, I'll be back later... don't you worry I'm going to save her I sware it" Snake said as he stroked his old friend's furry head. After saying goodbye to Juno Snake was just about to leave as his cell phone rang.
