Description says it all! It's funny, when I heard this in the game I actualy waited 10 seconds for Alyx's response. Unfortunatley, she didn't give one. A shame

"I'll let you out there, if you think you're up for it." The rebel who had led Alyx and Gordon to the garage said with a quick glance at Gordon for confirmation.

"Oh, he's up for it." Alyx said as she turned to Gordon with a smile, "Right, Gordon?"

Gordon gave her a smile and a nod in return. Noticing that the rebel was beckoning for him to follow, Gordon shouldered his shotgun and followed, leaving Alyx behind to oversee the repairs on their car. The rebel soldier opened a door for Gordon before stepping to the side. "Good luck out there," the rebel called as Gordon stepped through the doorway.

Gordon avoided the hole that dropped down into a barricaded room below. Using the gravity gun, Gordon destroyed the wooden boards that blocked the window. He wasn't the least bit surprised to see a zombine banging on the glass in a futile attempt to break in. Gordon picked up a cinderblock and decided that he would help the zombie out. The cinderblock arced away from Gordon and impacted its target in the head, killing it instantly.

Gordon jumped down into the hole and started launching the razor blades and flammable objects that were laid out on the floor. As the razor blade sliced through a Zombie's torso, Gordon breathed out a sigh of relief now that he could finally hear someting other than the crazed zombie dialect. No sooner had that thought crossed his mind then he heard the rebel in the nearby shop ask Alyx, "So…..was that your boyfriend?"

Gordon instantly stopped what he was doing and listened for Alyx's reply, but none came. Gordon felt a stab of disappointment before he pushed the thought away. He had a job to do, he couldn't afford the luxury of distractions.

Meanwhile Alyx stared at the wall as she felt her face heat up from the rebel's question.

The rebel who had asked moved away from Alyx as he thought to himself, "That's affirmative."

Well what did you think!
