Part 7
Frozen by Madonna
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Morpheus POV
Neo asked me today about the Twins.He said that he talked with our prisoner and he told him an interesting story.Well,that was to be expected.I had to get rid of that white freak when I had the chance.Now it is too late for that.Soon Neo will start believing him and question my words.I can't have that,I have to act quickly.And on top of it all we have to come back for the Keymaster.This will be a race against time.The other Twin will wait us in the Matrix,he knows what we want,he knows that we'll come back and I'm sure he knows that we have his brother,he's no fool.Once he and his brother were naive but never fools.Now they aren't naive anymore.
I have to act.I approach Tank.
"Tell me about the programme you used against our prisoner,why didn't it work against the other Twin?" my voice is firm but quiet,a good captain doesn't have to raise his voice.
"I have two theories,Morpheus" he says without raising his eyes from the screen where he watches the Matrix."He either was out of its range or they have different programming and he wasn't affected by it.Chances are 50% for both."
"I see.Can you try the same trick when we get back there.He will wait for us and he'll be pissed-taking the Keymaster will be even more difficult than before.I need all the help we can find."
Tank nodded his agreement.
"One more thing,Tank.It has to stay just between you and me.When we enter the Matrix,I want you to move the one we have here.When I tell you you'll send him to us as he is-disabled.You will not tell of this to no one-even Trinity or Neo.Especially Neo.That's a direct order.You understand me?"
"Yes,captain.I'll do it.But..."
"No buts,Tank.This is nessessary." I assume an authoritive tone.
He looks at me in the in the eyes.
"Yes,captain."
"Good.Continue with your work."
I leave him and go to my room.In one hour we're going back to the Matrix.We have to take the Keymaster and if I am lucky I'll finally be rid of those two freaks.Traitors will not be forgiven.I tiny nagging voice speaks at back of my head-"Whose was the first betrayal,Morpheus?"
I tell it to shut up.It's too late for regrets.
**************************************************************************** ******************************
Merovingian POV
I withdraw from the body of my servant and look at him with distaste.I like to take him when he is in human form,I like his screams of pain but that way there is too much blood after that.I focus and the blood on the sheets disappear.Good.I've always liked cleanliness.Neil is trying to stand up-not an easy job for two broken wrists and torn opening.Seeing him like that makes me harden again.Why don't we go for another round?It's not like he can die from his injuries,it is only a bit annoying when he passes out from loss of blood.I sigh.I'll have to fix him after that.It won't do for him to limp around when Morpheus and his wonder crew arrive.And they will sooner or later.They will not give up on the Keymaster.But until then...
"Well,beautiful,let's play some more."
**************************************************************************** ******************************
Trinity POV
Something is wrong.I can feel it in the air,it's like the calm before the storm.
We are gathered and seated in order to be plugged in the Matrix.Morpheus is even more stone-faced than usual and Neo looks deep in thought,almost absent-minded.I can only hope that will pass when we enter the Matrix.He'll have to be on his guard,One or not.
I try to relax as Tank puts the plug in my brain.Here we go.I have always compared our entering the Matrix to the travel with a rollercoaster designed by a mad man.I wonder which one of us will fall this time.
**************************************************************************** ******************************
Twin in Neb POV
He is up to something.I know he is.Morpheus didn't come once to see me.He didn't come to gloat.He is up to something and I am ready to bet that it concerns me.
I told Neo everything he wanted to know.He did not belive me.But I know that I have put the seed of doubt in his mind.Now it has to grow.I can only hope that I'll not be the one poisoned by its fruits.
Oddly Neo looked almost apologetic after he used me in my sleep.I'm not used to that.And I am annoyed out of myself for thinking him to be my brother.I must be really desperate.
The infinite whiteness around me changes and I find myself in another place.I knew that Morpheus is up to something.
