A/N: Chapter 2 of my story. For those who reviewed, thank you and please
review this chapter. Enjoy!
**
Trinity awoke in the morning, she felt well rested. She stretched, and then she remembered her dream. She blushed. The things that she and Neo had done in her dream had been very strenuous. She reveled in the memory, if only it was reality. She stretched like a satisfied cat.
She got out of bed, changed clothes and walked out of her room to the mess hall, where her breakfast of goop awaited.
**
Neo couldn't face Trinity, not after hearing her last night. He had no idea that she'd felt like that about him. From her external manner, she appeared no more than a friend, if nothing more! But he had to, otherwise everyone else would suspect something.
Hopefully Cypher wouldn't bring up last night. Neo swallowed and opened his door and walked down to the mess hall.
**
"It's time," Morpheus said, just as Neo walked into the mess hall.
"Time for what?" he asked.
"For you to go see the Oracle," Mopheus announced. "Let's go," he beckoned to the others.
**
The phone rang, Morpheus picked it up. "We're in."
"We'll be back in an hour," he told Switch, Apoc and Mouse. Cypher, Trinity, Neo and Morpheus got into the black car.
Cypher and Morpehus were in the front. Trinity and Neo got into the back. All Neo could think of was seeing Trinity last night.
"Neo you okay, you look a thousand miles away?" Morpheus asked him.
"Yeah I'm fine," he looked at Trinity, then looked away. He pointed to a place out the window as they passed it. "I used to eat there. They had good noodles, seems like a thousand years away."
They pulled up outside an old apartment building. Neo stepped out of the car, Morpheus behind him. "We'll be back soon." He walked into the building.
Morpheus knocked on a door, it opened to reveal a woman whose face was wreathed with a kindly smile. "Come in, Morpheus make yourself at home. Neo come with me." She led him to a room filled with other people. "You can wait here with the other Potentials."
A few minutes later, she came back and led him to a doorway veiled with stranded beads. "Go on in." Neo entered.
**
"What you heard was for your ears alone," Morpheus said to him, on their way down the stairs back to the car.
Neo's mind was buzzing with what the Oracle had told him. He wasn't the One. And yet he would have to make a decision, his life or Morpheus's? They arrived back at the building.
All four of them went inside. Mouse met them. "Switch and Apoc are downstairs." Gunshots rang out. Answering gunshots fired, and then there was silence. Morpheus flipped his phone open and rang Tank.
"Operator."
"Tank what's going on?"
"There's agents in the building, and they" Tank's voice caught on an emotional sob "they killed Switch and Apoc." Silence ensued.
"Sir," Tank said.
"I need an exit," Morpheus stated firmly.
"8th floor, hurry." The phone went dead.
"Let's go," the five of them ran up the stairs.
Down a floor, Agent Smith listened. "8th floor, let's go."
**
They were in the walls, that was their only option. Their exit had been sealed. Cypher moved and a piece of plaster fell. He sneezed and then coughed.
A policeman listened carefully, and when he heard the cough. "They're in the walls." He yelled. Agents and policeman swarmed into the room.
Gunshots fired into the wall. Neo gasped. An arm reached in and grabbed his leg. Morpheus yelled and jumped forward, landing on the agent.
"Trinity, get him out of here," Morpheus yelled.
Trinity hesitated, and then grabbed Neo's leg and they slid down till they hit the cellar.
**
The four of them ran out onto the street. Trinity flipped her phone open and rang Tank.
"Operator."
"Tank, I need an exit."
"There's one in an old subway station on 5th and Maine. Hurry." The line went dead.
They made it to the exit safely. Mouse picked up the phone and he disappeared. The phone dropped and Trinity picked it up and hung it up.
Cypher pulled out two guns and held one on Neo and the other on Trinity.
"What are you doing?" Trinity looked at him.
"I gave them Morpheus," Cypher stated.
"What are you talking about?" Trinity asked in disbelief.
"I've had it Trinity. Eating the same damn goop everyday, being cold, and having to listen his bullshit all the time, where has it gotten us, nowhere! I'm so sick of it. If I have to pick, then I pick the Matrix." Cypher said.
"The Matrix isn't real." Trinity answered, she pulled her gun out and held it steadily on Cypher. "Neo get over here."
"Oh no, if you move I'll put out one of your kneecaps. I disagree, the Matrix can be very real. Trinity you never answered my question before, have you finally bought into Morpheus's bullshit. All I want is a little yes or no."
"That's none of your damn business, now can we put the guns down." She said angrily.
"Answer the question, or I'll shoot our wonderboy here, and then where will you be?" Cypher said. "Why don't you ask him what he was doing in your room last night?"
"Neo?" Trinity looked at Neo.
Neo was stunned, at how easily the tables had been turned on him. "I saw Cypher go in your room and I followed, he was standing over your bed, staring at you. I just thought it was a little weird, so I went in..." he trailed off.
A passing train stole Cypher's attention briefly and Neo moved at the speed of light. He bent Cypher's arm back, causing him to drop the gun. He kicked the other gun out of his hand. He quickly picked up both guns pointing them both at Cypher.
"Mr. Anderson," Agent Smith said, he was a few yards behind Cypher. Smith fired at Cypher twice, and Cypher dropped like a stone. Neo fired at Agent Smith, all he hit was air. "Wouldn't you like to join your friend, Mr. Anderson?"
Trinity grabbed his hand and they ran up the stairs quickly. "Tank, I need another exit." "Cypher is dirty, he gave them Morpheus."
They arrived at another exit at an old television repair shop, three blocks away. Trinity went first, and then Neo followed.
**
"The Oracle told me this would happen," were the first words out of Neos' mouth.
"What'd you mean?" Mouse asked.
"She told me this would happen, I would have to make a choice my life or Morpheus's."
"Morpheus sacrificed himself, because he believes you're the one," Trinity said.
"That's just it, I'm not the one, the Oracle told me," Neo said.
"You are the one," Trinity answered.
"How do you know that?" Neo asked.
Trinity didn't answer. "Look you guys, let's just sleep on it for a couple hours, and then we can come up with a game plan," Tank suggested.
"We can't sleep, when they have Morpheus, we have to go get him," Neo said.
"We can't."
"Why not?" Neo asked.
"Because anyone of us who has come into contact with an Agent has fought them has died," Trinity said. She walked out of the room.
