Author's notes: 'ello again...Are you enjoying yourselves? I would certainly hope so...
Morpheus had asked for help from two others...They couldn't be there all the time...since the 'Vampires' could come out of the Matrix...they sent others in. Regardless of how brutal and vicious these creatures may seem to be, they needed to be protected...Actually only Slash needed to be protected, but she wouldn't go with it if the other two didn't so really all three of them needed to be alive...or at least as alive as they are now anyway.
Niobe stood silently with her partner and friend Ghost, in the abandoned factory, what the Factory was used for was beyond her, it looked more like an abandoned crack house, and she wasn't so sure that it wasn't.
The door opened, and Niobe automatically reached toward her gun, but stopped seeing the person standing in the doorway.
"Morpheus...your late...Had to make an entrance didn't you?" her face remained completely serious, but anyone that knew her would hear the sarcastic undertones in her voice.
"You know me," he replied simply, stepping inside gesturing for the other five to do the same.
"Slash, Sam, Spike, This is Niobe and Ghost..." Morpheus introduced them.
"Look at that...Someone ordered takeout, How thoughtful..." Spike commented.
Neo stood directly and front of Spike, and Narrowed his eyes, "There will be no jokes about eating my friends are we clear?"
Spike smiled evenly, "Who was joking?"
Neo grabbed him by his jacket and slammed him into the wall.
"Neo..." Morpheus warned, but he ignored him.
"If you even have a second thought..." Neo was abruptly cut off by a thumping noise, a startled gasp from Trinity, and the cocking of three guns.
He whipped his head around to find Trinity on the ground beneath Slash, and Slash glaring at Neo through he predatory golden eyes. Morpheus, Niobe and Ghost had there guns trained on Slash's head.
"Let's make deal," Slash said grabbing Trinity's hair, "I'll let her go if you let him go...if you want to be stubborn I'll snapped her neck..."
"Guys put down your guns...they won't do any good..." Neo said slowly letting go of Spike.
Morpheus did just that, but Niobe and Ghost were more reluctant.
"Trinity...Sweetie your not scared are you?" Slashed asked, smelling her fear and hearing her heart beat speed up.
"I let him go...Now let her go...Now!" Neo demanded.
Slash smiled and looked pointedly at Ghost and Niobe, who now lowered their guns also. Slash stood up pulling Trinity with her forcing her to stand, Then she released the woman's hair. As Slash expected and had been ready for, Neo attempted to tackle her. What she didn't expect was for Ghost to attack her from behind.
She sidestepped Neo's attack but Ghost swept her feet out from under her and with much difficulty attempted to pin her to the floor with his foot on her neck.
Sam sat silently with his head in his hands, he decided to stay out of this one...Spike had picked this fight...So Spike could fix it.
She thrashed around relentlessly knocking Ghost off balance though she abruptly stopped moving when he pulled a large automatic shot gun from his long jacket and aimed it at her head. That gun would take off her head and she knew it.
