DISCLAIMER- I do not own the Matrix, the Wachowski Brothers do, if I did I would not have to write fanfiction, the only thing I own here are the characters and the details of the events…

Bullets flew past faster than the naked eye could see. But for Rio the bullets moved at walking pace. He jumped, dodged, weaved left and right, and fired back.

The Agent's attack was relentless, clip after clip of bullets flew towards him, but not one hit on target. The same was true for Rio's own attack. Not a single bullet hit the agent, Jones, he just moved in a blur that was imperceptible even to Rio's enhanced state of senses.

Rio focused his mind, events passed in slow motion, but it had a devastating effect on his body, he felt exhausted. He emptied his last clip, somersaulted backwards off the edge of the building and returned his perception to its natural state.

Rio grabbed the 4th floor window edge, just. Agent Jones wasn't as lucky. Despite his agility, intelligence, skills, the agent had missed the window and hit the floor of the alleyway, hard.

Rio pulled himself into the window and ran out of the room and into the hallway of the apartment building. He had to find her, he just had to, if he didn't: well, he didn't want to think of that.

He found what he was looking for, apartment 204. He focused his mind once more; he pulled out a shotgun, kicked down the door of the apartment, fired once, twice, grabbed her and jumped out the window again all within 10 seconds.

Again bullets flew past as the other two agents fired out of the window at Rio. Rio twisted his body in midair to avoid them. He hit the pavement with such force that the concrete shattered. A force that'd cause normal human bones to turn to powder, but he comfortably landed on his feet, the woman in his hands.

Rio placed her on her feet and ran, she followed suit, it was not a good idea to stay still when three agents are likely to give chase.

"Apex, you got us an exit?"

"Give me a sec, yeah, just down the road, the video store back room."

"Thanks Apex" Rio put his cell phone back in his pocket. "Okay, video store!" He yelled out to her. "Right on Rio, thanks for getting me out of that!"

"Thank me later!"

They picked up pace as they smashed through the doors of the video store. "What the hell?"

"HUH?"

"SHIT!" Were the surprised yells of many of the video store patrons.

Rio and his companion rushed into the back room locked to the door and were greeted by the comforting ring of the telephone. "You first." Rio said.

The woman picked up the receiver and the next moment she was gone. Rio put the phone back on the hook and waited for the phone to ring again, he did as she did and he too, disappeared.
