A citizen's life (Half Life 2 story)
This story follows Dan a normal Joe or I mean Dan. One day Dan was walking through City 17 when Wallace Breen appeared on the giant screen in front of the ration's building. "If you see a Gordon Freeman grab the nearest stun stick and hit him on the head," He announced. Dan spit on the floor.
"Ha, I'm just a citizen I am not hitting no one with no stun stick. Well maybe Breen," a nearby Metro Cop pulled his stun stick out menacingly. The cop put away his stick, grabbed a can threw it on the ground and crunched it.
"Pick up that can," he ordered pointing at it. Dan obeyed and picked it up.
"Now what!" replied Dan waving his arms at the cop.
"Throw it in the trash," he said.
"Wha …." Started Dan
"Can!" Shouted the cop pointing at it.
"Wha …. Oh ok," he replied throwing it across the street to the can. A vortiguant walked right in front of the can and got smacked by it.
"What you do-in man!" yelled the vortiguant shaking his fist. The cop ran up, pulled out his stick, the vortiguant shot a bolt at the cop and it flew past the Citadel. The vortiguant put a finger to his lips in a shhing motion.
Dan walked into the rations building and got in the short line. A cop came over and pulled him aside. "What officer?" asked Dan.
"That food is for Metro Police only," informed the cop.
"Fine then I'll join I guess," Dan said.
"Ok citizen come with me," the cop replied opening a locked door.
They walk until they reached a small room. Loads of rookies where filling out paper work, "wait here," said the cop pointing to a chair," an Elite will come and give you your résumé."
Dan wait for hours as people came in and out of the practically empty room. Then finally an Elite walked in. "Ok sir put on your suit," then he left throwing a suit at him.
Dan got his suit on in a bathroom then walked out. The door to the room slammed open Jordon Freeman jumped in with a submachine gun. "Hey you're …." Started Dan but was cut off by twenty or so bullets piercing his suit.
"Jordon you didn't have to kill him," Alex Vance's concerned voice said. Then he slowly died. Those were his last words, hey your're.
