Snake awakens to find himself shivering and trying to get warm. He looks around for a vent or some thing to escape in. to his dissapoint ment the only way out is through the door. He gets up barley being able to walk do to the exctruciating pain shooting through out his body and his joints are also stiff. He couldn't belive what happened to meryl. He couldn't get the one question out of his mind, is meryl still alive if so what are they doing to her? and were in the facility could she be? He regreted and blamed him self for what happened to meryl. He had a chance to get meryl out of the way of wolf. But he didn't take it. And now meryl is suffering and may be dead. All because of him. He blamed himself he let it happen he couldn't stand the guilt. He never had the chance to tell her how he felt about her. That he loved her. He didn't want her to die he still wanted to tell her how he felt. He wanted to be her one more time even if it meant sacraficing his life. He wanted to hold her in his arms. To feel her breath on him once more. He couldn't stand it he never thought about a woman like he thinks about meryl.she was beutifal in every way her childish attitude. Her childish smile. When he first saw that smile he felt so relaxed like he wasn't even on a misson. He felt like he would be in that moment for ever. She was a strong willed soldier. She wouldn't give up. And for a woman she took those bullets well she stayrd consuise fighting for her life. Snake didn't blame her for any thing that happened. He couldn't he couldn't stop any of it they still would have been attacked my mantis and wolf. But he knew he could have saved meryl but didn't. all of a sudden his codec started to ring.

Conoel: snake are you all right?

Snake:ive been better.

Colonel: hows meryl?

Snake….

Colonel:…snake, the government has decided not to give in to their demands. Were trying to buy more time.

Snake: C' mon colonel. Why don't you stop playing dumb. Look im sorry about meryl but I want the lies to end now.

Colonel: …what are you talking about?

Snake: metal gear was designed to launch a new type of nuclear war head wasn't it? You knew all along didn't you?

Colonel: …im sorry…

Snake: cant tell the grunts huh… you've changed a lot… metal gear … secret advanced nuclear weapons research…does the white house know about this? How deep does it go?

Colonel: as far as I know as of yesterday the president hasn't been brifed about the REX project.

Snake: "need to know basis" is that the idea?

Colonel: these are sensitive times, even sub-critical nuclear tests cause quit a stir.

Snake: plausable deniability, huh…

Colonel: Yea. And tommorrow the president and his russian counterpart are scheduled to sign the START 3 accord.

Snake: I get it. That's the reason for the dead line.

Naomi: that's right snake that's why we cant let the terroist attack go public…

(the conversation carries on and ends)

snake now confused sits in anger and fear. For meryl and anger that the colonel decided to keep all this from him. He knew some thing was going to go wrong. It always does. Hes just the grunt they send in the hell hole in the first place they wouldn't care if he was killed as long as he completed his misson. He wishes he could just leave the military. He could live the life he wanted and if she is alive with meryl to the grunt missons would end. He wouldn't have to spare his life for the pentagon just so they could be happy with the selfs. He just wanted to go home hopefully with meryl and his dogs. But the government wont let him but theres one thing that hes at least thankful for in this misson. Meeting meryl. Snake dozes off and is once again awoken be a loud buzz the patroling soldier walks to the door of his cell." Snake its show time. Ocelot wants you." Snake follows the gaurds and once again is strapped to the revolving bed in front of ocelot., waiting for the shocks to begin and end. As do they. Snake is once again escorted back to his cell knowing he must get out off the cell before he surrenders and meryl dies. He couldn't let that happen. As snake sat in his cell working out a escape plan the guard johnny has some bowel problems and runs to the bathroom snake chuckles to him self and continues what he was doing all of a sudden otacons voice rings out.

Otacon: snake im here…

Snake: were?

Otacon: here. Its me.

Snake: otacon.

Otacon: wow they captured even you.

Snake: hurry up and get me out of here.

Otcaon: let me go that hurts!

Snake: hurry up.

Otcon: Is that how you ask a guy a favor let me go. Jeez its like a animal cage… what a smell.

Snake: its because of him. (points to the DARPA chief.)

Otacon : ahhhhh it's the DARPA chief!

Snake:if you don't hurry up and get me out of here ill be laying next to him.

Otcaon: I … I thought you might be hungry.if you need more I can bring some more later also I have this level 6 security card it'll get yo u out of the torture room. Here take this to.

Snake: whats that?

Otacon: its handkerchief. I got it from sniper wolf.

Snake:why.

Otacon: I dunno shes nice to me.

Snake: sounds like stockholm syndrome to me.

( the conversation goes on and eventually otcaon leaves snake alone in the cell.)

snake thought about how to trick the guards on how to get out of the cell. Hes got it. He takes the time that the guard is in the bathroom and uses the ketchup he has and pours it on the floor and he lays down in it completley still the guard walks out. Wha… what happened? He walks over to the cell and opens the door snake gets up and knock him out leaving him in the cell. Snake relived that he finally escaped find his clothes and gets to the nuclear storage buiding then to the underground passage. He remembers.

Meryl: ahhhgggg

(another hot rings out)

Meryl: ahhhhhh.

(meryl collapses and lays in the pool of her own blood saying to what seems to be her last words)

Meryl: snake… leave me and run.

Snake: Meryl!

Meryl: I guess im a rookie after all…

Snake: don't worry its me they want…

Meryl: even I know that. It's the oldest trick in the book. The snipers using me as bait to lure you out.

Snake: DAMN!

Meryl: shoot me…

Snake: NO!

Meryl: my gun… I cant reach it by my self.

Snake: DON'T MOVE!.

Meryl: I promised I wouldt slow you down… I … i… I can still help… I want to help you.

Snake: quiet down save your strength…

Meryl: I was a fool, I wanted to be a soldier. But war is ugly…theres nothing glamerous about its… please snake, save yourself. Go on living and don't give up on people. Don't forgetme.

(snakes codec rings the call ends because I don't feel like typing it.)

snake continues his path down the under ground path coming to the end were he was captured.
