Chapter 11
He was on his knees tied and a man dressed in blue cives held a large butcher knife to his eye. Other men and woman dressed in dirtied clothing cheered as the knife inched forward poking under his eye.
Two burly men stood next to him armed with glock 20's. "Now lad, You're going to tell me what in god's name you were doing helping them?" The first man asked a grin on his face as he quickly sliced a x into Marcus's check.
"Who in the hell are you?" Marcus asked as a woman in her mid 20's strode forward a smile on her face.
"The Corporation. We don't like what you're doing and the whole G-man thing? That is us" She said pushing aside the first man and quickly slapping Marcus in the head. He spit blood at her before headbutting her.
One of the guards fired a bullet into his kneecap shattering it showering the ground and himself in red blood. Marcus screamed in pain but was silenced before he could scream again by another bullet to his other knee cap.
Gunfire rang down the hall but then died down. Marcus growled as the knife man drew another massive x on his forehead. Then he jammed the knife into Marcus' right hand slicing through the bone and flesh.
He struggled as the knife sliced into his left hand with a wet crunch. Marcus tried to bite the man's ear but was punched in the nose breaking it with a loud snap. Blood covered Marcus all if it his.
"You bastards!" Marcus yelled in rage before the man stabbed him in the shoulder. He quickly stabbed Marcus in the other shoulder before slamming the knife in his gut with a bloody crunch.

Marcus roared as the doctor patched him up placing bandage over bandage over his wounds. Four men dressed in black vest stood watch armed with Ak-47's.
Next to him sat Gordon,Chris and Sarah. They all were unwounded and Marcus well the more he fought the more they stabbed him. He looked at Sarah who was trying to sleep but was unable as Marcus groaned in pain.
He took the moment to make his move. He broke free busting free of his binding and kicking the doctor in the face throwing him to the ground. The guards flicked their safety's off but Marcus was too quick.
Marcus grabbed the doctor's medical blade and slit the throat of one of the guards grabbing his weapon. He sprayed the last three down in a bloody mist. He let his friends free and they took up weapons.
They moved forth cutting down more guards in bloody showers of gore and bone fragments. They turned to the left and dropped a doctor quickly before running forward dodging burst of bullet.
That's when they saw the lead man, the one who had drawn x's onto Marcus scared him with them. Marcus fired twice blowing his brains out quickly before making his escape followed by the others.
They saw that the building was in Combine territory even surrounded by groups of patrolling Overwatch soldiers. Red train cars were clustered on the small railroad tracks ahead of them.
Overpasses sat above the railroad tracks windows covered the small wood walls. Combine snipers sat silently inside of them waiting for new targets.
Sarah crouched and silently walked behind a pile of ammo crates, a small metal device in her right hand. Gordon motioned for Marcus to go forward, He walked over to Sarah and looked at the device, realising it was frag grenade.
She put a finger up to her lips, before peeking up over the crates and tossing the grenade into a small overpass building, the resulting explosion sent a Sniper out the window, on fire and half his body armor and body itself chewed apart by shrapnel.
The whole building lit up in a bright orange light, as the flames searched for wooden objects to burn and spread. It groaned loudly before the bottom concrete floor breaking apart, falling to the tracks with a loud clang.
Marcus fired two shots from his desert eagle into a Overwatch soldiers head, putting a gaping hole in it. Gordon drew his crowbar and charged a soldier, swinging twice busting open the soldier's skull, in a shower of dark red blood.
Sarah drew her Ar2 and squeezed off two shots into a Overwatch soldiers gut, sending him to his knees clutching at his wound.
The group cleared out the rest of the area, and stopped sitting in a traincar. "Marcus, Why did you kill Davian?" Sarah asked leaning against him.
"Not this again" Marcus whispered to himself silently. "Truly I shot him for being a jackass" He replied holstering his pistol and walking over the large crate of food.
"I understand that" Sarah said. She sat down dropping her weapon and sitting in a small dark corner of the train car. Marcus sighed and turned around and stared at Sarah,
"Why does it matter much?" Marcus asked his tone growing deeper by the second. He really wanted to know why it mattered, Davian was dick and got what he deserved.
"Because he was my friend, I watched my friend get murdered in front of me" Sarah said. Marcus rubbed his forehead.
"You think it's easy for me to pull a trigger daily?" Marcus asked, He getting angry. "It's not, I've watched my whole life get shot to pieces by Combine, You haven't suffered anything most people have. You're a lucky person in this world".
"But…" Sarah spoke saddened. "I get shot at every single day of my life, You could've stayed behind and let me do my business".
"You got angry at me when I told you two I was a former Marine at Black Mesa. Now you don't care." Marcus continued. "Don't talk to me about how bad it is to have someone you love get hurt or killed".
