After the war, Alyx Vance went into seclusion within the mountains, trying to get over the death of her beloved father and so many people that died to stop the Combine. In essence, she was rather mentally unstable, but not the crazy-psycho kind of way...she was just really, really upset.

Gordon knew he had to be extra cautious as he drove to Alyx's small hidden home. He had taken Barney's car after disposing of the body and made sure to replace the license plate to keep anyone to realize who really owned the automobile. However, he helped himself to the extra ammo stored in the back just in case things got rough. Although Alyx was a good friend of his and had saved his life every now and then, it was HER fault he nearly got killed in the first place!

Plus, she kept saying 'Oh my god' over and over, which gave Gordon another very good reason to kill her. Suddenly, just as Alyx's hideaway came into view, the entire world...stopped. Gordon blinked a few times, confused, and watched a being materialize itself in the seat next to him. It was G-Man, who seemed to be smiling.

"You killed Mr. Calhoun...I didn't think you had it in you..." The G-Man said in his raspy voice, "And now you want to kill that Vance girl? What has driven you to such violent lengths, Mr. Freeman..."

Gordon noticed G-Man didn't elongate his "S" sounds anymore; it actually made him not sound as cool as he used to...if you could describe his earlier pattern of speech as 'cool'.

"If you keep killing, you'll just end up like the Combine. But...you don't care, do you? You were never created with emotions, Mr. Freeman...not only that, but you were born a mute. How unfortunate your life must be...so easily manipulated and controlled. You must have hated it..."

Gordon glanced at his wrist watch and wished G-Man would hurry up and get to the point so he could start killing Alyx.

"Mr. Freeman...you are different from the others. You are not nearly human...yet you are. I would like you to tell me why you want to do this, but I'm afraid that would be impossible for you. If you wish to kill the people who were your friends...your comrades...because of past actions, then I will not stand in your way. I just came to tell you that...Mr. Freeman. So...don't kill me, 'kay?"

And with that, G-Man vanished...and time resumed again.

Gordon parked the car behind a bush about a mile away, and then walked up to the front door on foot so as not to attract alot of attention. Rapping on the door gently, Gordon hide next to the door and waited patiently for Alyx to answer it. Slowly, he watched the door creak open...AND GORDON STRUCK!

However, instead of his crowbar tearing into Alyx's tan flesh, he had bonked poor Dog on the head, which did nothing since Dog was a frickin' ROBOT!

Walking out from behind Dog, Alyx Vance took one look at Gordon and exclaimed, "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, GORDON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Gordon sighed; it was gonna be a long day.

Once Gordon was done being given a tour of the house (where Alyx had him check out the whole area on his own to make sure it was safe; there were a few Headcrabs, but nothing too bad), he was offered some tea which Dog seemed to have secreted out of its...bottom.

"Do you...oh my god...like that new upgrade I gave Dog? Instant steaming hot green tea! Oh my god, it's good! I drink this stuff like I'm drinking beer!" Alyx explained almost immediately. Of course, Gordon wasn't thinking about tea. He was thinking about how to kill Alyx Vance without having Dog around to get in the way.

After some conversation (which was mainly Alyx yapping away while Gordon just listened & nodded every now and then), Gordon was starting to lose his patience. He had to hurry and end the girl's life before complications arise. He had to kill her before she brought up the worst possible question...

"Say, Gordon...what are you doing all the way down here anyway?"

If he could speak, Gordon would have cursed under his breath. For some reason, no one ever noticed Gordon's inability to speak, and they would always ask him questions and talk to him as if they were subtly trying to mock him or something. Stuff like that just pissed Gordon off even more.

So, with the speed of a cheetah, Gordon made his move. He smashed the crowbar first into Dog's robotic eyeball, blinding the machine and causing it to run out of the room in pain. Before Alyx could yell at him for what he did, Gordon then pulled out his pistol and fired several shots in Alyx's face, splattering blood, flesh and shards of her jaw everywhere.

Even as Alyx's body started to collapse onto the floor, Gordon continued his aggravated assault. He tore off her shirt and fired several more bullets into her breasts and neck. He then removed the poor girl's pants and underwear and jammed his crowbar up her ass, and twisted it around violently, scraping at the insides. Now it was obvious even to Gordon that Alyx Vance was dead.

With that done, Gordon ran after Dog to make sure there were no survivors. Meanwhile, G-Man was watching through a blood-stained window with a look of horror and disturbance on his normally calm face.

'Geez...what have I done? I need to stop this madman!' G-Man thought, 'But...after he kills a few more people...heh heh...'

Once both Alyx Vance's corpse and Dog were disposed of, Gordon drove back to City 17 to eliminate his next victim...

Dr. Issac Kleiner. And Lamarr, of course...


A/N: Probably not enough to make it M-Rated, huh? I only said it MIGHT get an high rating, anyway. I know the plot's kind of weird and Gordon killing all of his friends is completely out of wack, but please deal with it.
