Inside Room 204, Trinity and Neo were doing their best to fight off the agents. It seemed hopeless, but
they couldn't leave until they got the signal. Amid the fighting it came: Trinity's cell phone rang. She didn't have
to answer it, she just need to hear it. "Neo!" she shouted, "Get out!" Neo kicked an agent through the wall and into
the next room, then took a running start before leaping through the window out the tenth story window. The
ground seemed miles away as he soared above it. The building was coming closer, closer. SMASH! He landed on
the roof, crashing through a door and rolled down the stairs of the top floor of the building across from the old
hotel. He stopped where the stairs turned. Moments later, Trinity landed on top of him.
"Sorry," she said quickly, pulling him to his feet. They took off down the stairs, but it seemed to take
forever. Neo swung himself over the railing and fell down down down, crashing through the flimsy wooden steps
at the bottom, but landing on his feet.
"Trinity!" No answer. "TRINITY!" Still no answer. Neo ran back up the stairs. There goes his shortcut.
He had made it two flights up before the stairs gave way to his weight and collapsed. He coughed as dust flew
everywhere. Neo had no idea where he was.
Trinity watched Neo disappear as he took a shortcut down the flights of stairs. Her cell phone rang again,
"Yeah?"
"Trinity, me and Rev have a car out front of the building. Hurry- those agents aren't dead."
She closed the phone, "Neo!" she shouted. Her voice echoed through the empty stairwell. She ran down
the stairs as fast as she could, but stopped halfway. A hole five feet wide lay before her. A piece of the stairway had
collapsed. She knew if she jumped, she'd make it, but fall thorough the stairs beyond the jump. "Tank," she said
after dialing her cell, "I need an exit."
"Uh..go back onto the roof, there's a fire escape, though it may take time."
"Do you have a signal on Neo?"
"Yeah, he's somewhere in the building."
"Oh, that helps," Trinity said sarcastically. "I'm outta here- tell Spark I'm on my way." She closed her
cell and ran carefully back up the flimsy stairs to the roof. She was greeted by a warm breeze and a blast of fresh
air- not real. Trinity scanned the rooftop. Bingo- the fire escape. She was getting to like using them.
Neo stood up and brushed himself off. He looked around- it appeared as if he was in some sort of
basement. "Okay, okay, there's a way out, there always is." He rubbed his hands together and started searching the
room. He wasn't claustrophobic, but he was beginning to feel that way. The room seemed to grow smaller and
smaller and darker and darker. He ran about, knocking over boxes and stacked newspapers, trying to find an exit.
He stumbled backwards over a pile of books and crashed into a shelf, which toppled over with a loud BANG. Neo
stood up painfully and rubbed his back. But what was that? Light? He climbed up the tipped shelf and found a
small window, which he easily shattered with his elbow. He pushed back the glass and crawled through- back on
the streets of New York.
Rev and Spark were waiting in the car. Spark anxiously drummed his fingers on the wheel, "Come on,
come on. Where are they?"
His phone rang in Rev's pocket and she answered, "Hello?"
"Rev, its Tank. Trinity's on Davis Street. She'll be there at the intersection of Davis and Levan. Go get
her."
"Right," she hung up and put the cell on the dashboard."Trinity's on Davis Street, let's go."
"What about Neo?"
"I assume he's with her- they're pretty much inseparable."
Spark pulled out and speeded towards Levan. Rev watched out the window for Trinity, but instead saw
agents. "We have a problem, Spark, they're in the crowd."
"Trinity?"
"No, the agents. How' d they get outside so fast?"
Spark floored it and screeched to a halt in a narrow alleyway, where Trinity dropped from the last rung of
the fire escape. She swung open the car door and slid into the back seat, "Where's Neo?"
"Isn't he with you?" Spark pulled out, knocking over trash cans and running over cardboard boxes.
"No. I lost him in the stairwell."
Spark pulled out into the streets and began driving, "Wait- I see him, coming up behind us."
Trinity turned around and looked out the back window. Neo was running after the vehicle at an amazing
speed, his coat flying out behind him and four agents right on his tail. It didn't take him long to catch up. Trinity
swung open the car door and Neo grabbed onto it. Not once did Spark stop the car. Neo put one foot inside, then
the other, then closed the door. "Whew. Why' d you leave without me there, Spark? Not still grudging, are you?"
"Even I wouldn't hold a grudge over your life, buddy."
"Huh?" Neo turned around and looked out the window where four agents stopped in the middle of the
street and watched the car fade out of sight.
"There's an exit on South Street," Trinity informed him.
Rev stared out the window, "I take it there's no Price."
Spark turned a sharp left on two wheels and nearly crashed into another car.
"Jesus, Spark!" Neo grabbed the door handle, "Do you even have a license?"
"You have to be seventeen to get a license in California!" He reared right and swerved a telephone pole.
"Well how old are you?" Rev asked, trying not to throw up.
"Seventeen..." Spark held the wheel with one hand and buckled his seat belt.
"Well then why don't you have your license?!"
"They pulled me outta the Matrix when I was sixteen, Okay?!" He jerked the wheel left, sending his cell
phone flying under the seat. Trinity stared out the windshield. An old woman was crossing the street a block away-
Spark was reaching for his phone, he didn't see her.
"Spark, look out!" She reached forward and several things happened at once: Neo leaned against the door
and tripped the handle, swinging the door open; The cell phone rang; and Trinity jerked the wheel left, sending
Neo out of the car, Rev onto Spark, and the car crashing into a brick wall.
