Kit, Apple & A Hazard In The Matrix

Chapter Three

How do we get out of this one then?

Alex and I jump into fighting stances, glaring at the Twins.

Alex taught me the basics of fighting, including how to not fall over. It took a while.

Amy drops to the floor with a squeal and flings her hands over her head.

Alex looks at me as if to say; 'do something with her'.

As if I know what to do with Amy!?!

Amy looks up at us with a frightened look on her face, she mouths sorry. She jumps up (tripping over her big heavy boots a little) and adopts the same stance, adding her 'come hither' hand movement. I look at her and suddenly realise that we've seen the Matrix movies way too many times . . .

Amy has a confused expression on her face; it seems as if she is trying to decide whose side she is on. She looks at me and Alex, then at the Twins. She points at us and then the Twins.

Is she doing ennie meenie mynie mo?

"OK boys," She shouts randomly. We all jump and stare at her.

She drops her hands and addresses the Twins;

"I don't want to hurt you. I think we should settle this like adults," she shouts at them in a very high voice "I love you too much to hurt you!" This is not a good sign.

"Amy no!" I shout at her totally exasperated.

The Twins seem amused. They smirk again but don't stop staring at us.

"What the fuck are you talking about? These are trained assassins who can kick your arse in four seconds. And you want to get all lovie dovie with them?!" Alex shouts at her from beside me.

Alex looks at Amy with what I think is disgust. It's well placed disgust.

Amy runs.

We watch her run.

She runs . . .

. . . Straight into 'Phones 4 u'.

We decide to run after her.

"What the hell are you doing?" I scream at her as I reach her.

"I'm going to ring Neo!" she is dialling on the main phone at the back of the shop.

She looks pretty crazed.

"Kit. Don't you want to come with us?" I spin around and a Twin is staring, a little bit too much, at Amy.

She puts the phone down and looks a lot calmer.

The Twin has a look of concern on his face.

As if he actually cared about her!!!

"I do want to go with you. But you seem to want to hurt me and my friends." She looks scared and dazed.

"I can't let you hurt my friends."

She pulls us down behind the desk and throws a chair in the Twins direction.

The Twins go to one side of the shop and Amy pulls us to the other side.

We run out the shop and back the way we came.

Still inside the shopping centre we have no one to help us and no where to go. We run into 'BHS' and quickly discuss our plan.

**************************************************************************** ************

"That was easy."

Neo brushed his coat and straightened his shades. Trinity gave him a dirty look and shook her head.

"Not that I'm complaining!" Neo adds and quickly looks away from her. Neo and Trinity had dealt with the Agents very quickly and now have to find Kit.

Neo is slightly worried about the girl. She can't remember anything about her training. All the important lessons she had learnt as 'The Two'. How would she take care of her self?

"We need to find them." Trinity adjusted her tight trousers (wedgie!!!) and took out her mobile.

"They're being chased by those Twins."

"Where are they?"

**************************************************************************** ************

When the Twins enter the shop they hear crying. They look at each other and walk towards the sound. As they walked further into the shop it gets louder. They stand by a clothes rack. It sounds like the crying iss coming from inside it.

They pick the clothes rack up. Inside is a crying doll.

Laughter erupts from all different directions. The Twins spin around, annoyed and confused. They sigh and split up to look around.

Alex, Amy and I had put a few boobie-traps around the shop to confuse the Twins, so that we could escape. We are hiding behind a checkout counter close to an exit from the shop.

"We need to get out of here," I whisper at them "let's go."

We run out of the exit. This time we run down the shopping centre towards the car park.

"What is the point of going towards the car park?" Alex shouted breathlessly "None of us can drive!" Alex made a good point but by that time we are already there.

"Oh God! They're behind us again!" I spin around and Amy is right.

"Don't they ever give up?" I shout. I turn around, looking for an exit.

They are advancing towards us. We have nowhere to go so we edge backwards further towards the car park. We are through the sliding doors and now in the parking foyer. To our left are the stairs and lifts. To our right is the paying machine. Behind us are the cars and in front of us are the Twins. They walk closer and we freeze.

They are right in front of us; we can touch them, when a motor bike skids to a halt behind us. We spin around. It's Trinity on the bike. She grabs Amy and speeds off again.

There is a small pause as we all process what has just happened and then;

"OK!" Alex looks at me and I have feeling we are both thinking the same thing. Now they are defiantly going to kill us. Then we hear a voice scream;

"ARE YOU MAD?! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING TO LEAVE MY FRIENDS BEHIND!! SO STOP THIS BIKE AND LET ME OFF!!"

It was Amy.

All of us look around to see where the voice is coming from. The Twins crane their necks to look around a corner, but nobody comes back.

The Twins look at us hungrily. One of them takes out his knife and runs for us.

That is when a 'MaClarin F1' skids up behind us. A gun is pointed out of the window and shoots at the Twins. They phase through the bullets.

The door opens and Neo grabs Alex. As he comes back to grab me a Twin pulls the back of my coat with such force that I fly backwards. He lets go of my coat and my face slams into the pay machine.

I watch Neo get back into the car and take Alex with him. My nose is bleeding and I have spots in front of my eyes.

All I know is that I was alone and helpless with two murdering monsters.

I pass out.
