Barney pulls the bridge shut almost as soon as Gordon touches down in the building across the road. They've just come from apartments in foul condition, but this building's suffered more; the holes in the walls are enormous, and the floor feels as if it might give way at any moment. Some previous Resistance member took the precaution of bridging the gap between this building and the next with a length of metal walkway. It's very thoughtful of them, but Gordon can't help but wish he still had his old long-jump module. That's just not solid-looking enough for him.

That, and he can hear the whirring, thupping sound of oncoming rotors from somewhere very close by indeed.

Gordon glances sidelong at the corpse, but he's more interested in the cabinets lining the walls. They've got medkits in them- finally- and he could really use some of that bug juice right about now. As he cracks the first kit open he spots the words PROPERTY OF UMDNJ - NEW JERSEY MEDICAL SCHOOL printed along one edge. "Teaching hospital, apparently," he murmurs. "Combine must've appropriated the room."

"...I sure hope it was the Combine that did that." Alyx shakes her head. "C'mon, let's get out of here."

"Fine by me," says Gordon. "The sooner, the better."

Hopefully they've drawn enough of the Combine off that Barney was able to get people to the train station by now.
