Chapter Six
"Your operator contacted us when we were near," Morpheus explained as he, Neo, the woman known as Trinity, Puma, Daggert, James and I were on the roof. "We went in as soon as we got into broadcasting range."
"And you have Kayson?" I asked.
"No," Neo said. The moonlight shone of his sunglasses. "They have him in a military building. We're going to have to break into it and get him back."
"Damn," Daggert said. "We're going to have to go out and back in again to get more equipment."
"Don't bother," Morpheus said, smiling again. I've never noticed how white his teeth was before. Not just white, but blindingly white. We turned as a massive helicopter landed, blowing our clothes and hair back until the helicopter stopped, idling. A slender, muscled woman leapt out with short black gelled hair, wearing sunglasses and a tight leather outfit. She leapt out and embraced Neo, kissing each other.
"Is that?" Puma asked.
"Yes," I replied. "Trinity."
Trinity looked at us, her short black hair waving in the night air. She and Neo were lovers, I could tell by the way they acted around each other.
"The helicopters loaded with weaponry, gentlemen," Morpheus said, approaching the helicopter, still smiling. "Shall we go?"
I looked at Daggert, nodded and followed Morpheus.
Minutes later, the helicopter pulled up on flew off towards a massive building.

"We'll meet you midway," I said, getting ready to jump.
"Right," Morpheus said. I jumped, Puma jumped and Neo jumped. We flew down and landed on the roof of the building, the night concealing our figures.
"That is quite a lot of weapons on that thing," Puma said as he watched the helicopter blew off. Neo laughed and nodded.
Morpheus's operator, some guy named Tank, had drawn up the blueprints for the building we were about to crash. Kayson was being held by three Agents, including my old friend Agent White, in the exact middle of the building. It was yet another straight forward 'infliterate the building and kill everyone that gets in our way' missions that seems to always be with us. Puma ripped up the metal doorways on the roof and leapt through it, followed by Neo. I leapt through it and landed in a well-lit hallway. I pulled out twin 9mm Brownings and looked at Puma's double 12mm Uzis. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Neo hadn't pulled out any weapons at all.
"What the hell is the purpose of this bloody thing?" Puma yelled, gesturing at the hallway. It was a long hallway, lit with rows of florescent lights on the ceiling. On either side, were two doors.
"Looks like it meant to move people from Point A to Point B," I replied.
"They know we're here," Neo said. "It could be a trap."
"Only one way to find out," I chuckled and took a step. A single step. What happened next sounded like metal shrieking against metal.
"Oh... crap..." Puma said, flinging himself to the ground as did I as the door in front of us exploded open, sending three dozen sharp needles towards us. Neo raised his hand and the needles stopped in front of him. I rolled to the side as another sounding of metal gave and the floors opened up, sending sharp flames up from the ground.
"We got to get out of here!" Puma yelled, rolling himself.
"No sh-" I somersaulted as a hole opened in front of me, sending me down a tunnel. I peered upwards and saw both Puma and Neo tumbling down as well. They had expected us. The bastard Agents had goddamn well expected us!
I landed and rolled, coming up instantly. I whirled the second I heard the click of weapons, my 9mm Brownings firing. We had been desposited in a more proper hallway, well-lit with doors to offices on each side. An elevator door was at the back and a large room filled with cubicles at my front. Within the room was a veritable army of SWAT officers, doing their best to hit me. Well, I'll give them a challenge they'll none forget. For went to the side as Puma and Neo rolled up behind and jumped. I kicked up and flew up the wall to the side, twirling as I fired. I landed behind them and slid across the ground to the other wall, firing at their backs. Puma break-danced across to cover, firing his 12mms as Neo leapt into the air, over the bullets and towards the surviving officers. I somersaulted behind a few cubicles for cover as a few officers turned, firing at me. I put my foot under the cubicle's chair as I fired over the desk, and leapt up, kicking the chair at my enemies. It flew through the air and hit two, breaking the first one's neck and the second one's arm. I ran up and leapt into the air, driving my boot into the second's jaw, as I fired wildly about us. Between Neo, Puma and I, they were all dead within ten minutes. I slammed more clips into my Brownings and began to head towards the elevator. Puma and Neo followed.
