A voice spoke up from behind Jaina,and she knew the voice well.It was that same mocking,slightly amused tone with a british-sounding accent.

"A little un-welcomed...eh Jaina?"


The voice belonged to Liquid Snake.

A cold shiver ran up and down Jaina's spine, she bit her lip and said silently, "No no no. Not Liquid. No no."

She turned...and sure enough. "Well, well well...Look what the bantha dragged in. Heya Liquid. Long time, no see."

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Not long enough<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, she thought to herself.

Liquid smiled and grabbed Jaina's throat.

He was an exact duplicate of Solid Snake in every way,and he was choking her with all Snake's strength behind it.

"Do not mock me,Darklighter.You little husband is off on some Jedi mission and your pal Snake is off fighting droids,there is no one to protect you."

He leaned down and whispered

"Not even you".......


Then she blacked out with lack of oxygen.

For what seemed an eternity she was out cold untill a faint voice drifted through the hazy nightmares to reach her.

"Sleeping late as usual"?

She looked around and discovered that she was in a four meter-by four meter cell that was completely white and had one mirror,that looked double sided.

Liquid was the one who had spoken.

"C'mon Jaina,aren't you going to say somthing"?

Jai had inherited alot of things from her dad, the worst one being his fear of closed spaces. Therefore, at the realization that was was in a 4x4 cell, she freaked.

Jai jumped to her feet and then looked around franticly. She tried hard not to hyperventilate as she backed agianst the wall opposite the double-mirror...she spoke hoarsely, from where he has held her throat so tight..."Where am I? What is this?! Listen here, Kid, these gonna be hell to pay...as..soon as i get out of this...cell..."

Liquid laughed,unseen.

"There most certainly will not.Do you know why I brought you here?...come now why don't you start being the smart little daddy's girl and tell me"

Jai claustrophobia began getting to her, the walls felt like they were closeing in and she closed her eyes tight. "I dont know, you sick demented physco!!! Let me out of here dammit!".

She kicked the wall of the cell hard, her frantic state showing. "Liquid, dont do this to me! I'm a Solo! Frell it all!"
She leaned agianst the wall and slid down, she hit the floor with her hand, "You can't do this to me! Just wait! You'll be sorry...my father will have your head on a stick, you pathetic puddle of bantha spit!"

Liquid's voice turned cold for a moment.

"Be silent or I will have to throw you in a garbage masher and close the walls in on you.

Now.Tell me,do you remember what happened back at Kessel? I was humiliated....And I intend to have my revenge.So do you know who the bigger fish is Jaina?...do you know who I am really after"?

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Solid Snake...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Jai's sea-green eyes opened and flashes with pent-up rage, "Dont you dare. Dont you dare touch a hair on his head! You'll reget the day you met this Solo if you do!"

She leaned back agianst the wall, the cold sound of Liquid evil laughter swirling around everywhere...she closed her eyes agianst and took a deep breath.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> How do I get myself into these things?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Good girl.I'm glad ou figured it out."

A door opened to the left and a man with a cloak and hood entered.He pulled his hood back and revealed Liquid.

"My plan is perfect.You are captured,Snake comes running to save a damsel in distress and get's caught by me.And I will finally be able to kill him.The man simply does not die! but you will be able to see him fall.Now all we have to do is wait"

Liquid grinned.

"He will arrive sooner or later"

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Meanwhile...<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

Cairo was bored senceless. Snake had dragged her along on this trip and she sincerly did not want to go. She had big responsibilities on Delph...not to mention the date with Rusty Metropolis that she was missing. Oh sure, she wanted to make sure Jai was ok....but couldn't he have done it himself?

Cairo had moved up to the cockpit with Snake and plopped down dejectedly in the co-pilots chair...
He hadn't said a word since they left Delph, and the silence was getting to her, "So...Jai says your a warrior...that must be....different."

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Woo, way to break the ice, Solo. Pfft! Smooth, real smooth.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, she thought to herself.

The thing was, besides being introduced to him and hearing Jai say a word here anf there about him, Cairo didn't know Snake and she was pretty uncomfortable around someone older, and espically a older guy....
