A/N: Using the italics! sorry for my disappearance. Blink182 came to my humble city today. And
there's been a name change and a formatting miracle. Hmm, there was more I had to say but I
forget.
DISCLAIMER: Nothings mine.
Chapter 10:
Trinity was the first to wake up, gently sliding her arm from under his. She hated get up
in the morning, reluctant to unclasp their fingers and leave his side. Often enough she'd lay there
for another ten minutes or so, just feeling the warmth form his body or burying her face in his
hair, nuzzling against his neck. Trinity truly felt at home when she was with Neo, and nothing
would ever change that.
Except today. Today she had somewhere to be, and she didn't plan on being late. A quick
stop at her meeting place with Saturn and Trinity would get all the details she needed to know on
when and where to find Dez.
She climbed cautiously over Neo, careful not to wake him, and felt around for her shoes,
the darkness of Zion still luminously filling the room. With a quick backwards glance, Trinity
slipped silently from the room, opening and closing the door behind her without making a sound.
The hallways were better lit, but her soft footsteps were the only sounds she heard in Zion.
As excitement commenced, Trinity's groggy mood gradually lifted. The elevator lay still, years of
rust serving as decor. A quick press of the button brought it to life, and the heavy silence was
broken by the creaks and groans of the lift as it rose to her level. Much to her surprise, when the
cold doors opened, she was greeted by a very warm face.
Saturn was leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed on his chest. He greeted Trinity
with a cocky smile, "I was just on my way to get you- wasn't sure if you were gonna show."
"Well I did," she pointed out, slightly annoyed at the smug look on the semi-strangers
face.
"I can see that," he nodded in response, "Why don't you step inside, and I'll give you all
the details?"
Trinity glanced guiltily down the halls before joining Saturn on the lift, the doors closing
slowly behind her.
"Make it quick, I've got somewhere to be," she started, jumping right to business.
"Neo, eh?" he grinned wider, "I take it he doesn't know you're here, hmm?"
Trinity scowled, "I don't see why that's relevant to what we're here for," she replied
stiffly.
"Ah, right. Sorry bout that," his British made it seem he was mocking her, and she didn't
appreciate it. Still, she was here for a reason, and Saturn would just have to be dealt with.
"Just give me the time and place to meet you tonight."
"Same place we were last night, around nine- think Neo will be in bed by then?" he gave
her that smug smile again, and she gritted her teeth with suppressed annoyance.
"I can work with that," she replied sharply, her emotions from the other night still seeming
to linger. "And where exactly is Dez bing held?"
"I can tell you that tonight."
"You can tell me that now."
"Alright, alright," he sighed,"Always have to have things our way, don't we now? Dez is
being held in the lower levels- a bit lower than the bar."
"And how do you know all this?"
"I work there- security.. You'll be coming with me on my shift, I've worked it all out."
"You sure?"
The elevator doors opened and Saturn stepped out, turning around for a moment to look at
Trinity before the weather-worn doors closed again.
"Trust me."
