Trinity was crouched behind a brick wall on the roof of a building. She
glanced around the corner as she flipped open her cell phone, and emptied
used rounds from her pistol. She'd never been this afraid or alone in her
life.
"Trinity, multiple Agents are closing in on your position." Came Morpheus's voice from the other end.
"How many?"
"Three."
"Oh, God, Morpheus, I wont make it."
"Trinity, calm down. The nearest phone is a pay phone exactly three rooftops away from the one you're on now. You have a minute and a half before they get here."
Trinity blinked back tears. It had been a month since her training had stopped and her visit to the Oracle, but she still didn't feel ready.
"Morpheus, I'm afraid. I've never had as much courage as I should have had."
"Courage isn't the absence of fear, Trinity. It's the belief that something else is more important. You can make it. Go."
There was a click as Morpheus hung up.
Trinity forced her self to stand up, and her phone dropped from her sweaty had. It cracked and broke into tiny pieces on the cement.
She let herself throw away all thought as she focused on bending the rules. As she started to run to the rooftops, the sound of a door being thrown open sent waves through the Matrix around her. Gunshots missed her but cut through, rippling the program around her. She was near the edge of the first rooftop.
She jumped.
