Bubby, Flaze next to his left, Harold to the right, and gun in hand.

Coomer, bag of ammo and guns on his back, Bubby to his left.

Gordon, HEV Suit charged and ready, guns in hand, worn out smile on his face.

"Ready for some bullshit again? Cause I'm not."

"Hello Gordon!"

"I'll take that as a yes."

Shrimp chirps loudly as they start to leave, happy chirps none the less. Gordon does have one question on his mind, feeling something missing, as they leave the locked up lab.

"I gotta ask... Where the hell is Tommy?"

"Maybe you could uh, just camp here for the night."

Gordon of course gives him a look, Coomer letting go of him and standing up.

"While I do believe rest would be the best thing right now, I don't think it's safe for Gordon to stay in one place right now."

Gordon is quick to ignore the subject at hand, still blushing if course.

"So we're heading down to where Bubby and Coomer are?"

Alyx nods walking forwards.

"Yep, their lab. Then we'll meet my dad, you worked with him but not for long. He'll be happy to see you for sure."

Benrey pumps their fist in the air.

"Woo dad tiiime"

Bubby goes up to the controls as Alyx gets the computer working. Gordon's nerves are bouncing off the walls to finally learn who Alyx's dad is.

Static comes on the screen as it slowly focuses, a staticky voice trying to come through.

"Dad? Hey dad!" Finally the static ceases and a face appears on the screen.

"Dad look whose here!" Alyx steps away to reveal Gordon.

"Oh. Oh! Dr.Freeman, how are you?"

Gordon stares for a moment before laughing in disbelief.

Gordon covers his mouth as he starts laughing, Alyx soon joining in.

"We're at the lab just walking to it now, so we'll meet the 'unreal sippage' men soon."

Gordon leans against the wall for support to not fall over.

"Shit!-

Co-"

"Oh, fuck sorry. I'm on edge and you said something that sounded really close to an old friend.

The Combine speaking down to the citizens, suit cases falling to the ground, citizens panicking and talking quietly. The sun shines through, not as lively as it once was, illuminating the chaos that once was Earth.

Three men walk out of the tram that they rode there, one stands by and looks at the scenery he just entered. He stares in confusion at everything before taking a deep breath and mumbling to himself with a sigh.

"Here we fucking go again."

Coomer immediately gets ready to run but Gordon quickly blocks the makeshift doorway.

"Please if we're racing can someone at least give me a gun cause I'm kinda being hunted right now!"

Benrey hands Gordon a pistol that came out of no where, Gordon doesn't question it though. Bubby crosses their arms.

"Let's GOOOO Gordon. I want to get out of here as quick as I can."

"Yeah Bubby I know I know."
