Horizon was back in the world she had deemed so familiar. She knew it wasn't real, her mind only made it real. She knew her mission, and she was determined not to fail.

Morpheus gave instructions. "Now we have gotten information on where the crewmates are being held, but we don't know how reliable it is. Have your weapons in hand when we reach the objective. People from the other ships are aiding as well, so we are not alone." He led them down the busy street and down alleyways, until they reached a door on the side of a building. Before his hand could reach the doorknob, his cell phone rang. Tank was frantic. Everyone could hear his voice on the other line.

"Sir, it's a trap! A trap! I have an exit ready on 14th and Winchester. Hurry, get out!"

Tank hung up, and immediately the five of them began running towards the phone booth on 14th and Winchester. When they reached it, the phone rang. Trinity went first, Neo and Morpheus followed. It was Horizon's turn, and she stood with Evangel in the phone booth waiting for the phone to ring. It rang and she reached out for the receiver. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw her first actual Agent, not from training programs or dreams, and he was taking his Desert Eagle out. She screamed and pushed Evangel to the bottom of the booth as the gunfire began. The glass inside shattered all over them and cut their skin as they began to flee.

They ran down the street, and without another exit, opened the door that Morpheus was originally going to open and hid inside. They climbed up the stairs, and they led to the roof. Horizon didn't realize their mistake until it was too late. The agents closed in on them.

"We have been instructed to delete a malfunction in the Matrix," Agent Johnson began.

"Yes," Agent Thompson nodded and straightened his uniform. "Do you know what is causing this malfunction?"

Agent Brown continued. "One reason..."

Agent Jackson finished the phrase.

"...One girl."
