I am not the greatest at writing in third person. This story came to me because I just finished a play through of the entire half-life series(Decay not-included) Rated 'M' for reasons later on.

"No... Don't leave me." Was one of the last things Gordon heard before passing out.

Dog ran off in a rage, most likely going after the advisors. Alyx stayed with her father even after Dr. Kleiner and Dr. Magnusson arrived. They tried to pull her off, but failed. Kleiner got a body bag and placed it next to Eli for when the time came. Dr. Magnusson decided that it was best not to gloat about his rocket any more. He went back to work on scanning for particles left over from the portal. Kleiner stayed by Alyx's side while Gordon was carried off to medical.

"Alyx... I'm sorry..." Kleiner said after a few hours.

"Don't, just don't" Alyx had stopped crying. He had to say something

"If you want to blame anyone-" he was interrupted by her.

"NO" she said.

"Blame me." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Everyone was watching the rocket and the portal

Dissipating. If we had launched a little later then the sentry's would have seen them..."

"Just leave" Alyx pushed his hand away.

"OK..." He gets up and gets into the Lift. "If you need anything... just ask."

After Kleiner left, Alyx slowly opened the bag and slid her father into it. It started to rain as Alyx picked up her father. She carried Eli out to the car and placed him in the passenger seat. No one said anything, no one did anything. Alyx started the car and she felt a cold mechanical hand placed on her shoulder. Alyx looked up and there was Gordon, he had a bandage wrapped around his head.

She had to do this alone.

"Gordon, I can't-" Gordon grabbed the seat belt that both of them ignored on the way to white forest, and he leaned across Alyx and buckled her up. What she did not see was the GPS tracker that he placed on the back of the seat. He then turned around and left her there. There was a slight limp in his walk, within a few moments Gordon was out of sight. Alyx jammed the car into gear and stomped on the gas. The gate was opened and she flew down the road.

Gordon limped back to the infirmary and he fell to the floor right next to his bed. The nurse hears the crash of the Man in the HEV suit and goes to investigate. She finds Gordon on the floor passed out. The nurse goes to the intercom and turns it on. "I need some help in here, Freeman fell off the bed."

Not even ten minutes had passed since the train ride ended and Gordon was already up the creek without a paddle. He ran down a rooftop and across a few wooden boards to a ledge on a building. He turned the corner and walked along the ledge and got a good footing on to another roof. After being shot at several times he found an open window and he jumped inside. There was not much in the room, a few crates. Gordon started down a set of stairs that collapsed underneath his weight.

He found that he was in a hallway now. He walked to the door on the right only to find Civil protection busting the door down. Gordon turned around to find the same with the other door. Gordon heard a buzzing noise, and then he felt lightheaded, his vision was white. Somewhere in the background he heard a voice. "Over here! Ha! No you don't!"

He heard some punches land and body's thud on the floor. He felt someone place their hand on his chest. As his vision cleared he found himself looking into the eyes of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Olive green eyes and brown hair with faint red streaks, dark smooth skin. Gordon was at a loss for words. Not that he would have said anything anyway, he was a selective mute. He could not speak to anyone that he cares about. And he had nothing to say to Breen or the Combine, so he chose to say nothing at all.

Gordon woke up to see Kleiner standing over him; he was inspecting a small GPS device. After a moment he noticed the conscious being below him. "Ah, Gordon, I hoped that you would regain consciousness soon." He pointed to the device. "You had this in your hands when you fell, does it mean anything to you?"

Gordon reached up and pressed one of the buttons and a small moving symbol with two letters appeared on the screen. Kleiner adjusted his glasses and took a closer look. "AV… AV… What does- Alyx Vance! No, please don't go that way! The combine is heading right for you." Gordon pulls the Device away from Kleiner and looked at the screen; all he saw was a blur. He looked for his glasses and he found them on the bedside table. After he got them on he looked back at the screen and saw that Alyx was on an old mountain side road. He knew that area, but he was not sure if Alyx did as well. He stood up and started to make his way to the door.

"Gordon, you can't leave in the state that you are in, a broken femur won't heal properly for at least 3 months. You nee-" He was cut off when Gordon began to jump up and down on one leg, the 'broken' leg. "What about your head trauma?" Gordon pulled off the bandages and Kleiner could see no marks on his head. "Very well, there is something I had the garage whip up while you were out of it. Come with me." Kleiner left the room and Gordon Straped the device to his leg and promply followed.

Nothing happened on the walk to the garage, everything was going normaly as it could. And that was hard with Eli gone.

"Have you heared what happened to Alyx?" Someone who was sitting by a fire barrel.

"Someone said that she drove off into the night." his friend.

"Thats what I heard as well."

Gordon and Kleiner walked into the garage. There was something covered by a tarp, a few men that were standing around looked at each other. Kleiner did not look at anybody, he just nodded. one of the men lifted the tarp and gave a sharp tug. As the trap fell, the smile on Gordons face rose.

"Well Gordon, what do you think?" Kleiner asks. Gordon resonded with a simple nod.
