He walked down the alleyway once more. He was looking for something. His duplicates followed him curiously and watched as he searched the sides of the buildings.

"It's not here!!!!" He roared, throwing some bin bags to the side. He picked up a blue baby carrier and threw it behind him. He knew they were there, just not so close...

"It's not my colour." Said the duplicate that caught the carrier. The Smith that had previously been the rebel girl sniggered slightly. Smith turned round to see his duplicates step back. Still crouching, he lost his balance and fell right on his backside. The duplicates started to giggle and turn their heads away from him. Smith whipped out his gun and pointed it at a random duplicate.

"Will it be funny if I pull this trigger?" Smith growled, helping himself off the floor. The duplicates froze and shook their heads. Smith returned the gun to its holster and brushed down his suit.

"What, may I ask, were you looking for anyway?" Questioned one of the not-so-scared-looking Smiths.

"You know damn well what for!" Grunted Smith, walking through the crowd of duplicates and out of the alleyway, passing the now-working fountain.

"But why-" Started Random Smith.

"Because it will be useful in disposing of," He shudders, "Mr. Anderson" Then Smith lifted his head to a familiar voice.

"Did someone just say my name?" It said. It came from above and began to come closer.

"Run!" Ordered Smith and all the Smiths fled the alleyway and parted ways. Neo landed and lifted an eyebrow at all the 'agents' that ran away from him.

"Strange," wondered Neo, "I usually have the opposite effect on people."

"Never mind them now, contact Morpheus to get the unplugging process going, and tell him to bring a red pill." Ushered Trinity. Neo whipped out his phone and started dialling. A voice picked up the receiver at the other end:

"Operator"

"Link? It's Neo!"

"What the hell was that?"

"It's not Link, is it?"

"You know damn well it isn't!"

"Morpheus? Come on? She wanted to get rid of him! We couldn't do that!"

"She wanted you to get rid of him for a reason"

"She damn well didn't. I bet she thinks I'll have too much responsibility if there's a baby around. Thinking it'll distract me from the Matrix."

"Neo. You have to understand the importance of the Oracle. She will lead us to victory over the machines. We must not disobey her."

"Will terror rain down on the Matrix if we do?"

"Pe? I don't know. Tell you what, help Trinity down off the top of that building and I'll plug in. See you in a minute." And the phone went dead.

Neo looked round only to realise what Morpheus had meant. Trinity wasn't there. He looked up and she was standing on the edge of the building with the baby in her arms. Neo sighed and flew upwards, towards her, picking her up gently as he passed her. He flew higher and went above the clouds.

"Neo! Stop messing! We have to go meet Morpheus." Giggled Trinity. Neo sank slowly back to the earth, Trinity in his arms, and landed right in front of Morpheus.

"You took longer than I did." Stated Morpheus, impatiently.

"Sorry, I got sidetracked. Now, lets unplug this child." Smiled Neo, gleefully.

"Wait a second. Let me hold the child?" Ordered Morpheus. Trinity handed Morpheus the baby, then started rubbing her arms, tiredly. Morpheus examined the baby and removed the fleece blanket off its head. Its hair was dark blonde, light brown maybe. Morpheus looked into the baby's eyes and smiled.

"So?" Asked Trinity, anxiously.

"Let's unplug him." Replied Morpheus, unsure of something, but still confidant. Neo and Trinity just about jumped for joy and took the baby off Morpheus.

"The usual building?" asked Neo.

"Yes! We better hurry. We don't want agents following us." Rushed Morpheus, as he entered a building close by. Neo carefully placed the red pill onto the baby's tongue, put water in its mouth and rubbed its throat.

"Hey? Where'd you learn that?" asked a rather surprised Trinity.

"I've seen it being done before." Answered Neo.

"Where?" Trinity still wasn't satisfied. Neo shrugged. Trinity shrugged. Morpheus signalled them over to him.

"Place him onto the seat." Requested Morpheus. Neo walked up to the tracking machine, he started searching around it.

"Found him?" Questioned Trinity, impatiently.

"Not yet!" Replied Neo, aggravated. "I just got on here."

"Trinity, bring in the mirror." Said Morpheus, to distract Trinity.

"But, what if we don't find him?" Urged Trinity.

"We will! Neo, look harder!" Determined Morpheus.

"Yo! Trying my best here!" Grunted Neo.

Trinity brought in a pocket-sized mirror. It was small enough to fit into a handbag easily and was cracked in three places. It made a peace sign. Then, slowly, the mirror started to morph back together. Interested, the child reached out a hand and touched the mirror. He roughly pulled his hand back out again and stared wide eyed at it. It began to crawl up his arm and engulf his body. Instead of being afraid, the baby was more curious.

"Got him!" Neo cheered in triumph. Then the baby put his hand in his mouth and was swallowed by silverness. The child disappeared.
