It happens in a matter of seconds. Miles goes down, and then they have the girl back in their grasp. Snake doesn't blame Miles for it, though; there probably isn't any safe or easy way out of this situation.
Would they really go so far as to shoot a little girl in the head at point blank? There must be a reason they want her back, which tells Snake that she must be useful to them for some reason. Still, it's not a risk he can take, and he won't get Miles killed either. They're going to have to figure out where they're keeping her and get her out in a subtler way.
Snake doesn't drop his gun (he won't let them confiscate it if he can help it), but he does holster it and then holds his hands up. It's hard not to feel like they've failed this girl; she'd come to them for help, after all. Still, there was no way they could have anticipated the guards arriving, and Snake's still trying to puzzle through that one.
"What the hell do you want with her?" he asks through grit teeth. He's concerned about Miles too, but somehow Snake gets the feeling that he can handle all this.
