The girls face glistened with fresh tears, her piercing eyes threatened to spill more. Her back hair, barely touching her shoulders, swayed in the breeze. The girls pale complexion drew Trinity in, reflecting innocence and hope. As she looked at the child she saw everything she was and was not. She saw sadness, grief but courage. As well as a rare essence, the girl had about her that radiated purity, naivety and the future.
Trinity thought she was looking through an ageless mirror. Showing her along time ago, a time that she rather not remember. Not just skin deep qualities but one that flowed through the girl, like they had Trinity.
Trinity felt total admiration for her.
I will save you, I promise.
Trinity took a step forward, upon seeing the fear in the girl's eyes she stopped. The she did something, which astounded Trinity, the girls RSI began to disintegrate.
At first, never experiencing anything like this, Trinity was shocked but still she knew the girl couldn't leave.
"Wait, please I just want to talk to you." She tried to sound as inviting as possible.
When the girl had fully materialised again Trinity knelt in front of her taking off her sunglasses.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you, ok?" She reassured her. "I only want to help." The girl nodded. "So, What's your name?"
The girl whispered something so quiet Trinity had to lean closer and ask for it to be repeated.
"Bo, what's yours?" Her tiny voice drifted into Trinity's ears.
Trinity smiled, "I'm Trinity." She took off her glove and extended her hand, Bo shock it. Then for a moment she looked confused.
"The Trinity?" Her confidence and voice growing. "The Trinity who cracked the IRS Dbase?"
"Yeah that's me." Trinity never expected that sentence to leave a six-year-olds mouth.
"WOW, my dad told me about you, he said that you're one of the best hackers ever and that the IRS have some of the most advance security systems in the world." Then her look of confusion returned. "But" She paused. "You're to pretty to be a guy."
Trinity laughed.
Why does everyone think you're a man, Trinity what kind of guy name is that.
This sort of comment usually annoyed her but this was too sweet.
"Thank you, no I'm not a guy and you're very pretty yourself." Bo blushed and smiled then the embarrassment change to concern.
Bo looked away from Trinity's face, down to her out fit then resting on her gun and phone attached to her belt. When she looked back to Trinity's face, trinity saw what had been a knowledgeable girl transformed back into the vulnerable child she really was.
"You are here about the Matrix aren't you."
Trinity nodded
Tear swelled in Bo's eyes again. "Do you know where my Mummy and Daddy are?'
"I'm sorry Bo." Trinity stopped because she felt the coldness in her voice.
Come on, you have to let her in. She's only six. She needs this. I need this. She told herself.
"Listen Bo," She held the girl's hand. "There is some nasty men who knew you're Mummy and Daddy and they hurt them because of the Matrix."
"Are they alright?"
Trinity nearly couldn't stop her tears. "No, Bo they're gone, they're not coming back."
The girl nodded. She knew the truth; she just didn't want to believe.
"Are these men going to get me?"
"No, I'll save you, I promise. Trinity echoed her earlier thoughts.

Tank and Morpheus watched surprised at the interaction Trinity was having with the girl.
"She's doing very well better than I" Neo entering the core cut off Morpheus.
"Where's Trin?" He asked obviously still tired.
"She has gone in," was Morpheus' reply. "But you should be in bed."
"In the Matrix? Alone?"
What if something happens to her?
"Neo, she is ok. She just" He was cut off again this time by Tank.
"Uh, Morpheus ,we have a slight make that big problem."
"What is it?" Both Neo and Morpheus asked rushing to the monitors.
"There's Agents."
