"Please, there were two of them, in black leather and with guns, they. Find them, please. They turned this way and."
Man in a black suit was already gone, not waiting for girl to finish the sentence. Neo watched this girl lying to the agent and knew he want buy it. Impossible, but he did. He really did believe that girl and didn't even notice Neo and Trinity were standing just behind the corner. Was agent Brown really that much stupid? Not that Neo was afraid of agents, not after he discovered his powers. He just tried not to fight them in crowded a place, that's all. And today he did what he always did (what he did for about two weeks now, actually) - waited for agent to follow him to empty street. And then this girl appeared. She threw just one look at Neo and Trinity and fear appeared at her face. When agent appeared she actually pleaded him to help her, and agent believed her! Like he couldn't sense Neo. That was . impossible.
Fear had disappeared from girls face in the moment agent got out of sight. "Doesn't look like you are going to thank me" - she said turning to Neo. "Not like we needed your help, - he answered, - but thanks anyway." He looked at this girl more closely. Just an ordinary teenager. About sixteen years old, black jeans, black long hair and gray eyes. Nothing unordinary. Not that he waited for abnormality, of course.
"Look, - Neo continued after a small pause, - he is going to come back, when he'll understand you lied to him. And you are going to be in big trouble."
Girl shook her head,: "Only, if he finds me. It's not like I'm going to stand here and wait for him."
"And what are you doing right now? - Trinity interrupted, - let's get as far from here as possible." She headed towards the car, which was standing on the nearby street, sure that others will follow her.
"So, what are we going to do now? - Neo asked from no one in particular, driving the car and not sure yet where they were heading, - We are not afraid of agents, but you have to be. You will fall more than easy shall they find you. Why did you do this anyway?"
"What do you mean? - girl asked him, ignoring the last question completely, - That you are some kind of super heroes saving the world? Why should this man, agent like you call him, search for me? Or kill me? It's not like he is android programmed to kill you and all your friends, because you are the Messiah, and are meant to save the world from their tyranny."
"Actually, you got this right, - Trinity smiled, - that's exactly what's happening. We are saving the world and Neo is the One, the one to save it."
Neo wondered why was Trinity telling all this stuff to the complete stranger, and then it hit him. She smiled! Before he was the only one, who could make her smile. For him this meant only one thing: this girl was to be unplugged. Just as this thought crossed his mind, he shook his head in disbelief. God, he didn't even know her name and was already thinking about unplugging her.
"I'm this Neo, by the way. She is Trinity. And you are." - well, at least finding out her name was easy.
"It doesn't matter."
Or maybe not. Let's try again,: "But we have to call you somehow. Don't you think "Hey, you!" is not good enough? "
"Whatever."- girl curled on the back seat, suddenly loosing all childish happiness she was radiating just second ago.
Car stopped. Neo was almost surprised to see old hotel, where he first met Morpheus. Damn it, he was the one driving and he didn't mean to come here. Three of them got out of car.
"Now what?" - Trinity asked. But before Neo could reply with "I don't know", the girl spoke,: "Now I'm supposed to ask you something. But don't know the question. I really don't know." And while Neo and Trinity stood there stunned, she continued with strange bitterness in her voice,: "I don't want to know it, anyway. All I want is to wake up."
"Wake up?" - Neo asked, afraid to believe his own ears.
"Yes. To wake up and to understand all this was just the bad dream. That I'm not the one I thought I'm. - she smiled, - Am I insane?"
"No, I don't think so." - Trinity managed to answer. This girl definitely knew nothing about the Matrix. She wasn't the hacker ether, as she didn't react at her and Neo's names. She was. Trinity wasn't sure yet what this girl was, but she was going to find out. She made few steps away from the girl, so she couldn't be overheard, and dialed Link.
Neo wondered what did Trinity need from the operator, while watching her telling something to Link angrily, when he realized. She wasn't talking to Link she was talking to Morpheus. And Morpheus didn't seem to find her arguments good enough. It looked like it was the time to use his position as the One. Neo took the phone out of Trinity's hands: "Listen, Morpheus, just talk to her, OK? Just talk to this girl." On the other end of a phone Morpheus sighed, what probably had to mean - "And you, Neo". "Fine. - he answered after the long pause. - Fine. But only to find out what you two found in her. You know were to take her."
"What we two found in her? I wish, I knew." - thought Neo giving the phone back to Trinity. Girl was standing silently during all this and it didn't seem like she was going to ask what was going on. Fine. Neo turned to her,: "I want you to meet someone. If you don't have other plans, of course".
"Other plans? You've got to be kidding. Does it look like I ever had any?' Neo could do nothing but laugh.
"Just a piece of advice. Be honest with him" - said Neo as he opened so well known to him door.
"Be honest - the girl repeated, - yeah, I think I can do it."
Both Neo and Trinity smiled. Now everything they could do was to wait. Everything depended on Morpheus now. And so they stood there silently, waiting.
"Why are we doing this- Trinity suddenly asked, - I mean, we don't even know her. She doesn't know us, she doesn't know about the Matrix. How can it be that it seems so right to unplug her?"
Neo didn't have time to answer as Morpheus opened the door.
"Of course, no one is an angel. But she is the devil itself!"- he said, trying to sound casually but not succeeding.
"That means...?"- Neo felt somehow nervous.
"That means no one ever was able to convince me in such a short time. Not even Trinity, and I thought she was the most stubborn person on the Earth"- telling this Morpheus took two pills out of his pocket.
