Virus
Dean glared from the steps down the driveway at Agent Moore, "Get off of her." Moore leaned against the Impala's grill with a smug look on his face.
The Agent's bright-green eyes glowed as he was waved off, "I don't see why you care about it. Unlike any of you idiots it can't feel, it's just a hunk of coded metal. Or why the cocker sucker, whoops, so very sorry, I meant Frost, cares about you."
'I'll fudging gank him. What the Hell ? Did he get possessed or something ?'
He demanded, "Take that back, Moore, you fudging son of a bitch ! Nobody talks about S-Frost or my baby like that." All the while, he waited for Moore's eyes to go solid black but they didn't.
Smith growled at the green-suited Agent, "You are a traitor, you do not deserve to be an Agent. I should have killed you the second I found out what you did." and stalked down the steps radiating menace.
Neo and himself shared a look, wondering if they should interfere. Moore laughed as Smith threw a punch. "Actually, I lied that's Lead Agent Moore. And what makes it even better I have your Exile to thank for that promotion."
Both of them were surprised as a mercury-like liquid started crawling up Moore's shoulders. When that happened, he focused the world slowed as he and Neo sprang down the steps and ran toward the Ex- and current Lead Agent. He skidded into Smith's shoulder in shock as their focus broke he thought 'What the fudge ? Seriously ?' Smith, like a ghost, was fist-deep in Moore's chest; the mercury spread outward from Smith's fist.
Stared at the two programs, both looked like they'd frozen except for the mercury. Pulled at Smith's wrist as Neo exclaimed, "Stop, stop it's a virus. It's not you, Smith, please."
Nodded as he agreed, "You wanna get rid of him, yeah ? Well, don't you think this's too fast for a traitor ? C'mon, man, listen to us."
Himself and Smith stumbled as his efforts paid off. The blue-eyed program looked shocked, Moore hissed, "Not only are you a damned Exile you're even worse…a virus. Oh, the sheer irony and since you're not a Hunter even on technicality, if they weren't here, and it wouldn't restart the war because of their influence, I'd delete you."
The Ex-Agent pulled away from him to punch Moore in the face. "That is for being a traitor and slumming with Corrina."
'Who the fudging Hell is Corrina ?'
After Moore's head snapped sideways, then the Lead Agent quickly scurried off. Then he shouted after the fleeing program, "You owe me a fudging pie for damages, Moore !," Seconds later he whispered as he gently patted the Impala's hood, "It'll be all right, baby, I promise. We'll get you fixed up better then new."
The center of her hood was crushed into the engine and the damage spiralled outward from there; her edges were crumpled and warped like tin-foil.
Neo asked as he walked to the back driver door, "Did you spend too much time with the Carrigans'? Cause we're not near kids and I haven't heard you use "Fudging" as a swear since."
Shuddered as he remembered how lucky he'd been when Neo'd knocked on the door just before his tooth would've been pulled out. "Don't remind me, those were some creepy chuckleheads. They almost reminded me of that Collin asshole after he went vengeful."
Neo growled, "Hmpf, at least they were nice to you at first. Collin was always an asshole, he just got worse after he got run over. Dean, do you think James or Sheriff Mason could help us ? Mason did live around here once upon a time."
"Maybe, call 'em tomorrow then. Got too much stuff as it is today." They all got in the Impala as he asked, "Smith why do you have a virus ? Plus, who's this Corrina chick ?"
As he started the car Smith stared at the dash, "I don't know, the only place we have been that had a virus was the Merovingian's ball. It would not surprise me if he gave it to me somehow."
Neo wondered, "Why ? It's not like you were crashing the ball or anything. But, Bobby did say that Frenchie was dickhead."
Smith chuckled darkly, "That was far from our first run-in, over the years I stopped many of his plans. As for Corrina…she is his Mistress of Death and Shadow."
'She sounds evil, creepy and she works the Frenchie. Go figure, I don't wanna meet her.'
He and Neo both exclaimed, "I don't like her !"
"Well, she was the one who tried to kidnap Neo for the Merovingian. You did not think he would actually stoop to physically kidnapping Neo himself did you ? Onto more interesting things though. Who was this Collin and Neo I am assuming this James is different from the one in Florida ?"
Imagined Neo shaking his head as he backed out of the driveway, "No, he's the…same. Wait. How do you know that ? Were you spying on me and Dean at the Black Bird ?"
"I just wanted to make sure you had arrived intact. Considering I informed you of the case in the first place."
That made him mutter with a look at the A. I., "Man, Smith, you really were angry, hot and weird back then."
"What can I say ? I tried."
"Neo ?"
Neo hummed, "Yeah ?"
"Did Mr. I'm-So-Serious just crack a joke ?"
"The Matrix hasn't ended yet so I'd say fifty bucks on a maybe."
Shook his head, "Neo, you still owe me fifty from Florida."
"Do not, I paid it years ago."
All the while he'd been watching the streets pass-by. Seconds later Smith said, "There that dark-blue house is # 497."
Nodded his thanks to their love as he pulled up by the sidewalk. 'When I get back she better in the same shape. Or somebody's gonna end up in the hospital.'
Again they all got out of the Impala and started toward Miss. Lock's house.
