Chapter 8 – The Massacre

The guards led Snake, who now had handcuffs, through the gate. After a short march they left the wood. The area widened and they walked on a place without trees. A Russian chopter stood there, Snake could see that it was an HIND-D. Near the HIND was a small building. The guards' leader, the one with the gruff voice, pointed with the AK right on Snakes' head and began to speak, his Russian accent could be heard and Snake knew the man had problems with speaking English:

"Go ahead. Slowly. To that building. Now!"

Snake nodded and made his way to the building. He saw a trench, which was around the whole building. A small wooden bridge crossed it. Snake went on the bridge and examined the building: It seemed like an outpost. But unlike the factory, this building was in a good shape. Again, he wondered, why the Russians would have a manned outpost in a polluted area. One of the soldiers passed him and opened a door. Snake went through it and stood in a small room. There were a few lockers and a desk with a computer. A man sat behind it and worked. He didn't look up, but greeted the other soldiers in Russian. Snake thanked the Gods that he had learned Russian.

"Oh, you're back. Did you get him?"

The man with the gruff voice answered him, also in Russian.

"It all worked out pretty fine. Just like the boss said: He was in front of the gate. The plan was perfect!"

"Good! Now, bring him into the cell."

The guards' leader waved to two of the soldiers.

"You two, bring him to his cell!"

The two soldiers nodded and pushed Snake into the next room, which was a larger room with 10 beds, probably for the soldiers. At the end of the room was a small door. One of the soldiers opened it, the other one pushed Snake in. Snake fell to the ground. He felt a barrel in his neck. A voice spoke to him.

"Don't make any sudden movements. I'll take off the handcuffs. Try anything and you're dead, stupid!"

After the handcuffs were taken off, the soldiers left the room and closed the door. Snake heard the click as the door was closed. A key was turned. Snake stood up, looking at his cell: It was a small room, about 4 metres each side. Only one window, too far away to reach it. A great cell, a safe prison! There was no escape. Snake cursed, sat down and contacted Otacon...

"This is Snake. Otacon, do you hear me?"

Only scratches could be heard, the codec was blocked. Snake tried another frequency. It was no use, there was to much jamming in the area. "Damn it!" he cursed. He thought about his situation. It was bad, very bad: He was caught in enemies' territory, Ocelot would probably soon appear and he had no chance to escape. 'Great! Wonderful! I'll kill Otacon, when I get home. This was the most stupid idea he ever had! A stealth mission in Russia! This damn wise apple...' Snake leaned back. There was a small bed (it didn't look comfortable) in the room. He was tired and through the window Snake could see that it was already evening. He decided to take a nap. As he fell to the bed, he was already asleep.

He dreamt. About Shadow Moses. About Ocelot. About the battle with Metal Gear Rex. Then the battles ended. He saw his father, standing in front of him, speaking. He said something like "Wake up, Snake, wake up!". Snake raised his arm and fired his gun. His father fell down, dead. Snake woke up, over and over sweaty.

For a moment he had to think about where he was. Then he remembered. He looked around the room... and froze. The door was open, one of the guards stood there, pointing with the rifle at Snake. Snake rolled away, away from the barrel pointing at him. The guard didn't move, he seemed...almost dead. Snake stood up and went over to the guard. He tipped him on the forehead. The guard fell to the ground, turning. Snake saw his back and felt the intention to vomit: The back was ripped and torn, the bowels could be seen, bones were cracked, blood tripped on the ground. Snake looked up, into the barracks. Blood was on all walls, dead bodies were everywhere on the ground, all killed in a cruel fashion. Some still laid on their beds, others were standing to the walls, throats cut. The floor was a sea of blood. Pictures from Shadow Moses and Gray Fox in his ninja-suit shot through Snakes' head. Slowly he made his way through the torn bodies. Noone was alive. Snake left the room, entering the room with the computer. The man from earlier was sitting in his chair, without his head, which hang on the ceiling, pierced there with a very big knife. Snake went to the lockers and searched them. In one of them he found his equipment, in another he found some bullets and a USP - without silencer. Then he left the building, very carefully. He looked around, searching for any signs of a threat. There were none. He dashed to the trench and jumped into it. Crouching through it, he rounded the building. On the other side he left the trench. He saw another building, a small cabin in the east, right in front of him was a small path. Snake decided to search the cabin first. He slowly made his way through some trees, readying his USP. He kicked the door open. There was no living being in the cabin. Snake searched some cupboards and found night vision googles and a few batteries. 'Great. Just what I needed!' He turned the googles on and put them on. Then he left the building. His sight fell on the place with the HIND. A few corpses were near the HIND, a dark liquid spreaded near them. Snake turned away and left the area, using the narrow path.
