| Snake was unable to respond to the mix of insults and congratulatory remarks by that metal beast in his half conscious state with anything more than a cold stare through swollen eyes. He sort of fell out of the wall to his knees. He contacted the Colonel with the news.
"He got away, I think. I thought I got him; I was careless. But he let me live..."
The Colonel seemed to have expected it. "It's alright, Snake."
Solid Snake would recover, and the Colonel would regroup. All was well for a failed mission. |
