“Hello, Leona. How’s life?” I felt

“Hello, Leona. How’s life?” I felt sick to my stomach. My breath hitched. I wanted to puke. I wanted to hurl. It was a familiar voice, but not one that I wanted to hear.

It was Gabe. I knew he wasn't here anymore, but that was him. He isn't alive! I must have been crazy. That's when I felt someone or something grab me, but nothing was there.

Alyx Vance came to the rescue, and totally kicked everyone's butt. "Why is it always ME getting YOU out of trouble?" she asked.

Doctor Freeman then picked up a headcrab and placed it upon her head. "Get out of this trouble" he snickered.

Doctor Freeman was always snickering. In on some big joke only he knew. That's why Leticia was going to shut him up for good. First, she pretended to be into him romantically,

They dated for 5 months--just the right amount of time for the doctor to fall in love. But she never forgot her plan. One night, as he peacefully slept, she took the chance to

quietly open one of his drawers where she knew the secret potion was. A small bottle not much bigger than her palm. She grabbed the bottle and quietly closed the drawer shut.

The powerful potion would solve everything, if only she could keep quiet. CRASH! Slipping from her fingers, the bottle crashed onto the hardwood floor, sending glass everywhere

the Sun didn't shine! She flew off the couch like a hellhound, her nethers bleeding the fires of Consumption all over the furniture, igniting them and burning down the whole house.
