Chapter 1: Someone on the Inside

0414 HOURS THE TRAIN STATION

Both shots hit the two other CP's in their heads and they dropped immediately, like puppets with their strings cut . Then, the rebel CP rushed towards them and pulled off their bonds.

"Wha..." started Leon.

Leon a man of about 30, with a Caucasian complexion, shoulder-length brown hair and a muscular physique, was shocked by the CP's actions.

The CP pulled off his helmet and there staring at them was Barney.

"Barney!" cried Ada as she flung her arms around him, "What are you doing her-"

Barney cut her off, "We're getting out of here."

He relieved the corpses of there sidearms and threw them to them, while explaining, "Gordon and Al-"

"Gordon! Gordon Fre-" ventured Ada

"Shut up!" hissed Leon, "Keep going Barney."

"As I was saying," continued Barney, "Gordon and Alyx broke into Nova Prospekt to rescue Eli Vance and inflicted major damage to the Combine by knocking out their main teleporter. Let's go."

"Go where?" questioned Leon

"We're going to disable the generator." Replied Barney, as he put on his helmet.

"We are?" exclaimed Ada

10 MINUTES LATER

Ada and Leon, handcuffed, were being led down towards the cells by a CP, but instead of taking a right towards the cells, they took right towards the generator.

"Okay," whispered Barney, in a dull, artificial voice that most civilians feared. "We've got about 1-,"

"Barney." whispered Ada

"What!" exclaimed Leon

"Look!" pointed Ada

Down the end of the hall was the shadow of a Combine Elite Solider (CES).

"Crap," hissed Barney as he yanked them into a nearby cupboard.

The CES walked down the hall. "Quiet," whispered Barney. Ada clicked off the safety off her gun and accidentally elbowed Leon in the testicles. He involuntary let out a squeak of pain and the soldier's head snapped around. The CES started towards the door but didn't get the chance.

Ada fired her gun and the solider's head exploded, showering the wall behind him in blood.

"Bitch!" swore Barney as they eased their way out of the cupboard and he dragged the body into the cupboard. Leon bent down to examine the CES's weapon and saw it was a 'Desert Eagle' handgun, one that he had used in the US army, he pocketed it quickly.

Ada and Leon, uncuffed and each with a sidearm, were led into the generator room by Barney. Where they were stopped by a Combine soldier. "Wrong turn," commented Barney. The soldier spun Barney around and studied him and his prisoners.

"Guard 3648-D why aren't your prisoners……"

The guard eyes drifted over them, from Barney's helmet, the bulge in Leon pocket (from the gun) and the blood spatter over Ada clothes. Then he suddenly set off the alarm, just before Barney snapped its neck.

"Damn," exhaled Leon, " now there's going to be-."

An ear-splitting alarm racked the train station.

Ada picked up the solider's shotgun and shucked the shotgun's pump-action, "You two deal with the generator, I'll take the gatecrashers."

"So, how do we do this, Barney?" asked Leon, while peering at the security station, which showed the generator."

"We'll have to eliminate the guards, deactivate the shields and hope the reinforcements don't get through Ada," stated Barney, matter-of-factly.

"That's all?" commented Leon dryly.

Leon and Barney stood either side of the door, then Barney opened the door and rolled a grenade in and then he shut the door again. There was a thunderous explosion, and then Leon and Barney charged in.

Leon shot one guard in the head, then shot another in the chest.

Ada feverishly checked her shotgun again as the first Combine soldiers rounded the corner. She pulled the trigger and the first soldier's chest exploded, throwing him back into the second one.

The next group was more prepared. They rushed around the corner, guns blazing and a grenade was throw down the hall. Ada stared at the grenade in horror, then with no other choice she kicked the grenade back and the wall got a new paint job. She let rip both of the shotgun's barrels simultaneously and exploded two soldier's heads at once. She aimed the shotgun and pulled the trigger.

'Click'

'Fuck!' screamed Ada, and the Combine soldiers were getting closer, so she ran and took cover beside the door frame. A soldier ran through the doorway and Ada swung the shotgun like a cricket bat. It connected with the soldier's neck, breaking it, killing the soldier immediately. She grabbed the soldier's soldier MP7 sub-machine gun, flicked it to automatic

and opened fire on the rest of the soldiers, her fire stitching across the walls and across the line of soldiers, their chests convulsing under the hail of fire and they all dropped dead.

She sighed in relief, then she heard a buzzing sound and she turned towards the sound and about 20 manhacks come flying down the hall. She hit the door control and the door flew shut. 20 dents erupted in the door as it was hit.

Leon and Barney were fighting the last of the soldiers. Barney aimed his pistol and fired into a soldier's chest, it convulsed as the bullet pierced its' heart and it dropped. Barney spun around and came face-to-face with a shotgun.

"Don't fucking move," snarled the soldier. Leon started towards the soldier and it quickly unsheathed a pistol and aimed it at Leon's head.

The soldier's chest exploded outward in hundreds of splashes of red, which showered Barney in blood.
