Matrix 2: The New Age

Chapter 1

After rescuing Morpheus, Neo sits down, wondering. What if I hadn't saved Morpheus? What if that agent had killed me? But enough with the "what ifs", how am I going to find more hackers to destroy the matrix and spread the truth? Neo wondered. His head was spinning; maybe it was time to take a nap.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Nick woke from the sounds. Oh crap! It's already nine? Man oh man I'm gonna be late again! He hurriedly put on his suit and tie in his two-room apartment. One bathroom, one living area, just how he liked it, simple yet… efficient, he decided. Yes, efficient, he could tell today was going to be a really, really crappy day. Oh well. I better hurry up… he thought. He worked at the same place the infamous Neo worked, which he knew all about because he hacked into the government's mainframe computer and he found all about that little incident.

Nick opened the door and found two big, brawly men with two hookers. "You got th' softwere?" The one with the military haircut said in a thick British accent.

The other man, with a trench coat on, said, "Yeeeeah, geeve it at us already!" In a thick Bawston accent.

"You got the money?" Said Nick.

"Yeah, Meta," said the military wanna-be. He flashed two stacks of ten one hundred-dollar bills.

"O.K., hold on." Nick didn't feel safe by the wanna-be calling him by his hacker alias, Meta. Oh well, he walked over to the bookcase, opened a Bible, and pulled out a mini c.d.

This should terminate him and his comp by 0630 tomorrow… or at least it had better, Nick thought. Nick gave Trenchie the disc, and the wanna-be gave him the money. Nick counted it out the two grand was there. Great, Nick thought, now I can get that new upgrade I need. Yeah, life is sweet. After the two goons left, he looked at the clock. Crap! 09301 I gotta go! So Nick ran out o his apartment, down to the first floor, and out the door.

"Hey Neo," said Trinity, "I got someone."

"Who?"

"Name's Nick, has a hacker alias of meta, he can make the software we need to destroy the Matrix.
