Something I probably should clarify before I continue: this is set between the first film and Reloaded. Sorry of the chronology caused any problems in the first chapter.

Chapter Two Car Chase

Andy leaned against the wall of the glass elevator, and breathed a sigh more of irritation than of relief.

This is like some kind of twisted spy movie, he thought. The way things are going, "Trinity" is probably going to end up being a stunningly beautiful woman who happens to know martial arts.

The elevator doors opened, and a woman in black grabbed Andy by the shoulders, nearly lifting him off the ground, and throwing him out of the elevator.

"I'm going to assume you're Trinity," he muttered.

"That's right. Come on, we have to go."

Andy tried to read the expression on her face. He could see what seemed almost like a little fear, though it was hard to tell with the sunglasses obscuring her eyes.

"Do you happen to know martial arts, by any chance?" he asked as they raced towards the exit.

"Yes, why?"

"No reason." He thought: QED.

On the first floor, the three agents looked up.

"They're going to make it to the car," Henderson said blankly.

Johnson continued, "Our work is done."

"No," Daniels muttered. "They know we would not give up that easily. We have to keep chasing them to the Tea House. Return to the car."

"We run the risk of actually killing Mr. Weiss," Henderson objected.

"Then be sure that you don't. It must always appear as if his life is in actual danger."

As they reached the parking lot, Andy was yanked into the passenger's side front seat of a silver sedan. Trinity jumped into the driver's seat, and started up the car.

Andy heard a click from the backseat, and turned around to come face to face with a gun, and didn't manage to suppress a yelp in time.

"I'm not going to shoot you," the man holding the gun said.

"Well, logically, you're preparing yourself to, or it wouldn't be pointed at my head in the first place."

"Assuming you remain you, you have nothing to fear from me."

"What does that mean? And who are you people, anyway?"

"My name is Neo," the man with the gun replied.

Andy grumbled irritably, and leaned back in his seat. "I don't suppose I could get any real names out of you people, huh?"

"Those are our real names," Trinity replied.

"So, what, you're part of a cult, or something?"

Much to his surprise, Trinity smiled tightly, but didn't respond. Andy decided it would be better to have his questions answered when Neo and Trinity felt like it, rather than continue prodding.

Neo glanced behind them as the car continued down the street, and cursed. "How much farther?"

"Five minutes. Ten, maybe," Trinity replied.

"There are agents behind us. I'll take care of them, you keep going."

With that, he jumped out door, grabbed the roof with one hand, and effortlessly swung himself onto it. Andy winced at the thud on the roof.

"Do you people do this sort of thing everyday?" he asked. As expected, he received no answer.

On top of the car, Neo began to fire his gun. The agents in the sedan began to dodge the bullets, but doing so impaired the driver's ability to move in a straight line. He scraped the car against a building, tearing off a rearview mirror. One of the agents jumped through the windshield, onto the hood of the car. Rearview mirror and windshield began to fall back into pristine condition almost immediately.

The agent on the hood of the car was Agent Henderson. He ducked a few more of Neo's bullets, and hurled himself off the hood, grabbing the back bumper of the car Trinity was driving. Neo tried to empty his gun at him, and discovered that his gun was already empty. Instead, he waited until the agent had climbed onto the car, and then punched him in the chest. He flew several feet, before slamming back into the head of the agents' sedan. The hood, after denting briefly, popped back into position, and Henderson tore off the roof, to get back into the car.

Andy turned around, and stared through the rear windshield as Neo leapt off the car, blocking the path of the agents' sedan.

"What the hell is he doing?!"

Neo placed both hands under the sedan's bumper, and lifted it off the ground, before starting to spin it around in the air. As Neo slowly began to disappear into the distance, Andy saw him finally release the car. It soared through the air like a Frisbee, before landing about a mile away, in the middle of another road. It flew completely apart as other cars began to slam into it, resulting in an enormous explosion. When the car pieced itself together again, the agents who had been inside the car were already gone.

Andy sat back in his seat, gaping. "Did he just- did that just- WHAT THE F- "

Neo chose that moment to literally fly alongside the car, open a door to the backseat, and climb inside.
