AN: sorry to disappoint all you readers who assumed I'd fallen into oblivion, but I'mmmm baaack!

matter.
Dead dead dead...Jamie was dead. She had seen it happen- Trinity had seen death come for the young tabloid
reporter. She'd seen every second of it in seemingly slow motion- the car's hard metal front had slammed into the
woman, snapping her bones like kindling and breaking Jamie nearly in half. The agent's car had taken her body
away, out of her sight. But Trinity knew that she'd never forget- she'd never forget the look on Jamie's face right
before she died.
Eyes wide with fear, her face pale as a ghost, Jamie looked utterly hopeless.
--Trinity!--
Her eyes were almost begging to Trinity, begging for help and asking her to do something- asking her to
stop what was happening. Asking her why she wasn't.
--"Trinity!"--
The world slowly came into focus and Trinity could make out someone calling her name, someone shaking
her gently but firmly.
"Neo?"
His grip loosed with relief as Neo let his arms slide off her shoulders, still worried, but disguising it beneath
his dark sunglasses. "Are you alright? You kind of zoned there..."
"I- I guess I was just a little rattled by...what happened."
Neo was confused. Trinity had seen death before- many times- and often at her own hands. She'd killed
before- they all had, and Neo knew that it was hard, but surely she wasn't effected by it anymore.
"What happened?" she asked, still unsure and a little shaky.
"I pulled over as soon as I lost the agent- the door was open and Jamie was gone. I've been calling you
name for nearly five minutes- are you sure your alright?"
"Jamie's dead."
The words were hallow and empty, bearing no remorse or sadness, but all the same haunting.
"I know," Neo replied quietly, drawing Trinity close. ---Why was she so upset? She didn't even know
Jamie...---
"I want to get out of here. Now."
Neo nodded and stood up. It was only then that Trinity realized she was sitting down. Her feet were on the
ground and she was sitting sideways inside the passenger seat. Neo must've carried her.
Trinity's eyes followed The One as he moved in front of the car and slid behind the wheel, starting the car
and revving up the engine as he'd done so many times before. Focusing on the road, he headed for the exit, viewing
the world from behind his cold, dark glasses.
---He doesn't care...Jamie's dead and he doesn't even care...---
