Chapter 8: Fin
(the only original character in this chapter is Chance)
Neo jumped off the roof. His long coat rippled like a cape as he turned a somersault and landed on the ground, sending a shock wave twenty feet in every direction. Any ordinary man trying to jump the same distance would become a pancake in seconds. Neo, however, jumped up and sprinted toward the street. Agent Jones was tailing him closely, so Neo ran through into an abandoned building and locked the door. He knew that Agent Jones would burst through in a matter of seconds, so Neo pulled out his cell phone and dialed. "Operator? Please get me out of here, Link."
Link's reply was so calm it stung Neo's ears. "Turn left and head up the stairs five flights. When you're done, turn left again and head down the hall about twenty feet. The phone is on a table. See you soon."
Neo followed Link's instructions. At least he didn't need to worry about other crew members now. Morpheus was living with Niobe in Zion. He left shortly after the Nebuchadnezzar has been destroyed. Trinity was now the captain of the new ship, called the Daedalus. But Trinity wasn't with Neo, either. She had to stay on the ship, and look after the baby.
As Neo climbed the last flight of stairs, he felt a little anxious. If there was any people in the building, they could become Agent Jones and Neo would be trapped. He hadn't heard any sounds from the Agents. Why hadn't they broken the door yet?
Neo reached the top stair, and ran down the hallway. His son was only a few months old, but he would have to be trained to fight the machines. Chance couldn't enter the Matrix, because he was born without plugs. Neo hoped that the Matrix would end before Chance would even turn twelve.
There's the phone. Neo sprinted towards it and waited for it to ring. But the phone made no sound. Neo heard the door burst open downstairs and he knew that it wouldn't be long before the Agents were in the hallway.
"Ring, goddammit, RING!" But there was no friendly answer from the phone. Neo inhaled sharply, then he saw Agent Jones twenty feet away from him. Jones smiled slightly, and walked calmly towards Neo.
Neo couldn't understand what was taking Link so long. He knew that he didn't have enough time to call Link on his cell phone, and he knew that he didn't have enough energy to fight.
Jones was ten feet away. Now five. Jones raised the pistol and cocked it. Neo desperately grabbed the receiver and held it to his ear. Jones smiled widely. "Goodbye, Mr. Anderson."
