Chapter 2

Raiden stood there shocked, and stared at Tira.

"Sniper Wolf? Isn't that..."

"Yes, the one that shot his girlfriend." Tira pointed at Snake.

"She wasn't my girlfriend. Just a combat buddy." For some reason Snake had found his pack of cigarettes very interesting since he was studying them carefully.

"How did you know she was Wolf's daughter?" Raiden asked turning to Snake.

"Number One, look at the dog tags she's wearing. They're Wolf's. Number Two, she has the same mark on her neck that I have on my face." Snake pointed to the scar Wolf gave him when he was captured.

"Why would she mark her kid?" Raiden asked.

"The mark on the neck is how she shows that someone is hers, that way no one else would dare try to take me. The mark on his face is different however. It signifies that he is her prey."

"I could have told him that." Snake said as he lit a cigarette. Tira yanked it from him and threw it into the toilet.

"I can't stand smoking."

"Did I ask for your opinion?" Snake pulled out another cigarette and lit it, this time he kept his lighter out in a defensive position.

"So who's your father?" Raiden butted in.

"One of Wolf's prey I would think." Snake said.

"No, it was Saladin." Tira replied.

Snake dropped his cigarette to the floor. He spun around to face Tira and grabbed her arm. "You don't mean Big Boss!" Tira yanked her arm from Snake and backed away.

"You... you know him?" She asked slowly.

"Of course I know him, I killed him... He... He was my father."

"Wait a minute!" Raiden yelled. "If you two are both the kids of Big Boss, that means that she's your sister Snake."

"Which would explain why Ocelot did tests on her since she's stronger than the average female. We both have the 'soldier genes' in us. Maybe that's why they were holding her in here. How long have you been here?" Snake asked Tira.

"A couple of months... I was recruited... I just can't believe something like this is actually happening..."

Snake and Tira stood in silence. Neither one believing what was happening. Did Snake finally have a family member that he could trust and actually call family? He had Liquid, but they were both trying to kill each other. The closest thing he had ever had to family was Master Miller, the real one, and Meryl. Now he might be able to have a real family. Raiden shifted uncomfortably from putting the weight on his left leg to the right. He finally broke the silence.

"So how do we get out of here?" He asked.

"Easy, I can unlock the door since the lock is made out of metal. I need you guys to shoot the camera before I unlock it. You think one of you can handle that?"

"I'll do it Snake. I can tell that you're still thinking about something." Raiden pulled out his gun and approached the barred window. After a brief second he backed away from it and cocked his gun. "We've got company."

Snake pulled out his gun and backed away from the door. Tira stood next to Raiden and had her wire ready. The continuous beeping of numbers being pressed was heard. After they stopped the door opened. Snake and Raiden pointed their guns, but no one appeared at the door. After a few seconds, grenade rolled into the cell. "Move!" Snake yelled as he shoved Tira out of the cell. Raiden jumped out after her and ended up landing on top of her. Snake ran to get out but the grenade exploded. Snake was thrown to the wall in the cell and was knocked unconsious. Raiden got off of Tira and stood up. He heard a bullet shell drop to the floor and someone walking up behind him.

"You know Jack, I never got to explain to you how the revolver works the last time we met." A voice said. Raiden spun around and pointed his gun at Revolver Ocelot. "So tense, I just wanted to have some fun."

Raiden examined Ocelot carefully. "Where's your arm?" Raiden asked.

"Got rid of it. That experiment insisted on taking over my body, so I destroyed him." Ocelot pointed his revolver at Raiden. "I have five left, let's see if you can make it out of here without being harmed."

"Where's the other bullet?"

"Why don't you look at your friend on the ground." Ocelot motioned toward Tira.

Raiden looked at her; as he did he lowered his gun. She was unconsious on the ground with a bullet in her chest. Blood flowed from the wound slowly. "You sick bas..." As Raiden started to pull the trigger on his gun, a huge amount of pain welted up in his shoulder. He dropped his gun and fell to the floor. Ocelot blew the smoke from the end of his gun.

"You forget too easily that another gun is pointed in your direction." Ocelot twirled his gun before thrusting it into his holster. As he walked out of the room, two sentries came in and dragged Tira out. Raiden struggled momentarily before a wave of black covered him, making him drift into unconsiousness.

Ocelot picked himself up off the floor, wiping blood from his mouth. "I'm sorry boss..." Ocelot was knocked into the wall again.

"I told you not to harm her! And yet she comes back, an inch from death!" The man took another swing at Ocelot, hitting him in the chest breaking a couple of ribs.

"Why do you care about her so much? She's only your sister."

"Only!" He punched Ocelot in the face. "I told you no more screw ups." He pulled out a gun and pointed it at Ocelot's head. "I'll see you in hell."
