Sam Lake – Max Payne - Part 1: Chapter One: Roscoe Street Station

Max Payne:
I came in from the cold and the dark. Outside, the city
was a cruel monster. I'd been slowly working my way from
small-time to the big fish, trying to get to the source of the drug. Alex and B.B. were my only contacts in the
DEA... The only ones in this decrepit city who knew I was
down here.

[B.B. calls Max on the phone]

B.B.:
B.B. here... Something urgent has come up with Jack Lupino. You need to meet with Alex, immediately... at the Roscoe Street
Station.

Max Payne:
I hadn't had a face to face with Alex since I'd gone
undercover. Outside, the mercury was falling fast. It was
colder than the Devil's heart, raining ice pitchforks as
if the Heavens were ready to fall. It didn't get any
better when I got to the subway. The feeling hit me like
a point-blank shot straight in the face... Something was
not right about this. My Beretta stirred nervously under
my coat... but the train doors had already shut behind
me, and I was in for the ride... Next stop: Roscoe Street
Station, and Alex.
