Prologue:-
A woman dressed in black trousers and a
black vest top sat at her laptop typing various codes and information into
it. She was lightly built and had short
ebony hair that framed her pale face.
Her deep blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the darkness from the reflection
of her screen
as she continued typing quickly. "Trin,
what are you doing?" asked the sandy
haired man sitting beside her. He was
also dressed in black and had deep green eyes that stood out from his rather
pale complexion. His hair was short and unkempt looking and no matter how much
he combed it, he
always looked like he hadn't bothered.
"Writing a program," she said simply.
"What kind of program?"
She shut her eyes, trying to concentrate on what she was
doing rather than her mildly distracting boyfriend. "A program that will hide our IP address, delete cookies at
the touch of a button and make hacking a whole lot easier by sorting through
hundreds of codes a minute."
The man sighed, "Look Trinity, ever since you saw
that 'What is the Matrix' thing you have been taking hacking to the
extreme! Don't you think hacking into
the IRS was enough?"
Trinity turned and gave the man a
satisfying kiss on his lips,
"Look Charge, I think there is more to this 'What is the Matrix' thing, and I intend to find out what it is!"
Charge shook his head. "I thought we hacked for fun... to see if we
could! If you ain't careful the feds are
gonna have you."
Placing a hand on his cheek she looked
deeply into his eyes, "Please believe
me... this is more than some stupid advertising campaign, I don't know how to explain it, but it is there and I will find out what the
matrix is... whether it kills me or not!"
"But..." Charge went to protest, but was stopped by a
passionate kiss on his lips, "Okay Trinity...I'll trust you, just don't go too deeply into this, I'd hate to lose you!" He knew it was no use arguing with her as she
nearly always won.
Trinity smiled and gave Charge a
hug. Looking into his eyes she smiled
the smile that melted his heart, "Thanks! You won't regret it... I promise!"
"I really hope not..."
Charge replied glancing at his watch,
"Oh shit! I have work!" Not moving from what she was doing Trinity
just nodded.
"Erm...Trin..."
"What?" she replied, still fixated on the coding she was
inputting to the machine.
"Marry me," he asked, producing a fair sized diamond ring from his
back pocket.
Trinity spun round and looked at him
curiously. "What?"
Charge smiled, he loved seeing the expression of
surprise on her face. "You heard me..."
Trinity blinked, trying to focus her thoughts, but before she could answer Charge placed his
finger on her lips and whispered softly,
"Not now...tonight, we can go out
for a meal and you can tell me your answer then." He gave her a quick hug and smiled before
heading for the door. Trinity just nodded
in shock and watched as her boyfriend left the apartment, leaving her holding the ring. She stared at it for a few moments, but she didn't need to think about the
answer, she knew what she was going to
say already. Her mind began to wander as
she thought about how Charge would react to her answer, but her thoughts were rapidly collected as
her cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.
"Trinity, we have been watching you. The Matrix has you. They know you are getting closer to the
answer and are coming for you. If you
want to live do exactly as I say..."
