Chapter: 8
A Heroes Doubt: A Traitor's Faith
"Trevor, Trevor!" Smokeswind darted down the narrow halls of the Sacrifice. He ran into the operator's room, where everyone is usually plugged in. He searched the room for the person whom he was seeking, and found him sitting in the chair, in front of the code. Smokeswind ran to him; Trevor's face was not towards Smokeswind.
"Trevor?" Smokeswind glared up at the screen of green and black code. "What happened?" Trevor just stared blankly at it. He didn't answer. He got up out of his chair and walked slowly over to Kat's jacked in body. He just stared at her. Smokeswind tried to decipher the code (he had some training with operation system) but, all he could see was Kat's code in sleep mode. He didn't know what Smith's code was, except maybe for a flash and a glitch in the matrix.
He quit trying to see the pictures of code, and walked over to Trevor. Trevor began to speak softly, but firmly. "I've spoken to Bio. He said the serum should be ready by tomorrow evening. He also gave me the dart gun; I'll teach you to use it soon. Then we can go in the matrix, but we obviously need someone to stay out."
Smokeswind would have volunteered, he knew he could do a mission like this. He could learn. It wasn't that difficult, especially for a fast learner such as Smokeswind. He had the basic information down; he just needed to realize a few glitches here and there. But Trevor killed this train of thought.
"We need you in the matrix Smokeswind. Kat trusts you the most. And I feel the whole situation would go smoother if you were there with her."
Smokeswind didn't argue. He knew that Kat and he had spoken quite a bit. He really hoped that she and he had a good relationship, since he knew she was more of an outcast. Trevor continued. "Haler and Halo will accompany you."
Smokeswind tilted his head for a moment, "Is that all?"
Trevor remained still, "Yes."
"Why?"
"Because, if anyone else outside of us knows, the word will get around and we will get caught, you fool."
"But, Bio kno.," Trevor cut Smokeswind off with a quick answer.
"No he doesn't."
"How did you get the serum then?"
"I told him where we were going, and I told him it was a 'secret mission'. He doesn't know what it's truly about, so he's not going to tell anybody. It's just us Smokeswind." Trevor assured him. Smokeswind took the bait, but had to ask, "Why do we need the serum at all?"
Trevor sighed, and stood up walk to Smokeswind. "Didn't I already explain it to you? Smith needs to die. He needs to see what pain he has caused during his reign. For Kat's sake and everyone else's too!" Smokeswind looked down sheepishly, but said sternly.
"She said he wanted to do it peacefully, as long as it went his way. I just don't' want any unwanted violence if there is no need for any." Trevor came up closer to Smokeswind and told him with frustration in his voice, "Me neither. That's why Smith needs to be deleted. We can't get rid of the murders, until we get rid of the murderer. That's just the dead truth Smokeswind. Trust me! We need to get her out of there."
"I just," Smokeswind chose his words carefully. "I think you may be doing this because you don't....I don't' think you want her........"
"Don't' want her to what? Do die!?" Trevor asked his tone growing irrational.
Smokeswind looked him in the eye, "With another man." Trevor felt something click at that last bold statement. It was true; Trevor honestly didn't care about anyone or anything except his own possessions. Kat was his first. He didn't want to admit it, but the only reason why he volunteered for the ship's operator, was because he heard Kat was going to be in it. Even when he saw she was in danger, he'd rather see her there than in another man's arms. But, his plan obviously backfired. Now, he was stuck as letting her with Smith, or taking it into his own hands.
And, Smokeswind didn't even realize he was falling into a trap. Hopefully, this one wouldn't backfire. Smokeswind was to be the one to blame for Smith's death. Not Trevor. Trevor would just seem as if he was taking extra precautions, but when he would give the serum to Smokeswind, he would do exactly as Trevor said. And, even if he didn't, Smiths death was inevitable.
((2 hours before Smokeswind's arrival))
((Trevor was seated at his operator's seat watching Smith and Kat eat something. It annoyed him to no end. He suddenly didn't care if Kat didn't forgive him for killing the creep. He just had to get rid of this agent. Bio came through the ships front opening and jogged to Trevor. Trevor's eyes were glued to the screens as Bio came towards him and eventually right by his side.
"What do you want Bio, I'm kind of busy," Bio started to talk rapidly. He was afraid that someone had seen him come here and was suspicious. But, he showed Trevor the dart gun. Trevor then just turned his head slightly just to see what would ultimately meet Smith's end.
Bio was frantic in trying to show him how to hold it straight ahead, and never towards you. There were 3 settings on the gun: Hold/safety, Shoot, Automatic. Bio explained to Trevor that whenever the gun was in the upright position, it could be set to any of these before hand. He warned him not to set it to Automatic, because if it were ever to be that and held up at the upright position, it would shoot immediately. Even without a person physically pulling the trigger. And, not to mention with deadly accuracy to the object in front of it. Bio asked who was going in, and Trevor said he was. Bio taught Trevor how to shoot and how to set it. Then he scurried off. Trevor knew before hand he wasn't going in. But, he would send someone in. And he knew exactly what setting to use...))
(Presently)
Trevor sighed and shook his head, "Smokeswind that doesn't' matter. I'm completely over that now. All that matters is her safety." Well, he was only half lying.
Smokeswind didn't respond but looked down at his watch. "Oh, now I remember why I was rushing to get you, Commander Carter, was going to call a meeting. I am pretty sure it was maybe something about Zion's armory, but...."
"We're going to go, don't' worry, he doesn't know. We know Halo and Haler wouldn't tell, and I know Bio wouldn't......he's kind of a nerd." Smokeswind relaxed a bit and he and Trevor sprinted towards the council meeting.
Nothing ground breaking happened, Com Carter just talked about the situation and the Council Trust decided it best if they had a surprise attack. When they could catch Smith at his weakest. Of course, they had no idea when this would be, because Neo was unconscious from a sentinel attack.
The Council Trust came to the conclusion of waiting for more information from the armory apartment, to see how well they'd fair against the bigger problem of the machines invading Zion. The Council Trust didn't see the point of going through so many problems, just for one girl. They finally decided to wait and see, eventually they would strike, but not now. And, probably not very soon either.
