The Setting: Over a hundred years before the first Matrix movie. New York, N.Y.
The rain fell hard. Andrew Thompson was walking down the wet street, holding a newspaper over his head, trying to stay dry. He had just lost his job. He was a programmer for a major company, but he had been fired because of his frequent lateness. The Truth was Andy was a hacker, during the day he wrote programs, at night he broke them. He did all of this under the alias Shadow. As Shadow he was somebody, well known for his hacking prowess and ability. As Andrew Thompson, he was a slacker and good-for-nothing. He sighed, he had received a warning last night from an anonymous "friend" who told him they were looking for him. Andy had no idea who this informant could be. The one thing that stood out in his mind was the last phrase of the message he read; "The Matrix has you." That gave Andy the chill the rain could not. He dropped the newspaper in the trash. He notice in the trash was a cell phone. He picked it up, and it started to ring. Surprised he answered it, "Hello?" "Shadow, this is Cosmo." Cosmo. The well-known terrorist. Cosmo, the man the cops were trying to find. The man whose name was all over the net and newspapers. "What do you want with me?" Shadow asked. "Shadow, I am going to tell you something you may not believe. You are being followed. Don't look back, look at that building in front of you." Sure enough Andy looked at the glass, and reflected in it was a black car. "What do I do?" Andy whispered nervously. "I want you to start running when I tell you.. NOW!!" Andy ran for his life still holding the phone close to his ear. He looked behind him and saw a woman and a man welding automatic pistols fire mercilessly at the car. Andy dropped the phone. He ran blindly. His heart was fluttering. Suddenly he ran into something. He fell on his butt. Looking up he saw a man in a black suit with a strange earpiece. He said "C'mon son, come with us." A squad car pulled us and Andy was led away. The woman watching form atop a building with her sniper rifle stopped aiming and swore "Shit". Then She got up and walked away.
