"Trinity," Neo moaned, as each second passed without her appearing. "Where are you?" he looked forlornly at the gym which was taped off for people to enter.

"Hurry this way, before we're seen." Jason pulled Neo into the bushes and towards a hidden door.

Neo followed him and soon they were swallowed up in the dense foliage.

As the door slammed, silence emanated around them. "This way." Jason dragged him down a hallway.

"Do you have any idea where we're going?" Neo asked, worry evident in his tone.

"Yes towards the gym, I know of a place where the girls might've possibly hidden, when the explosion occurred." Jason strode towards the gym with the aura of urgency.

Mero walked up behind Persephone and lightly touched her arm. "Shall we my sweet?" his hand was white as alabaster and just as cold.

Dark toffee eyes assessed him, "I think not." She turned to the shadows. "I have a new partner………in crime."

"Who?" Mero's eyes narrowed in anger.

"Me." A slender Chinese man stepped out of the shadows. Tossing his cigarette butt to the ground, he grabbed Persephone's arm and dragged her out of Mero's range.

"Fine, have it your way. Don't come crawling back to me, when he's dumped you." Mero spat on the ground and signaled to his bodyguards.

Morpheus sat on a soft paisley couch, and tried to tell Chiara's parents of their night. They just want happy memories to remember their daughter by and who am I to deny them? Slowly, he started to tell them, how happy Chiara was and how beautiful she looked…………

"Damn it girl, can you believe we got ourselves into this situation?" Niobe looked at Trin. A streak of blood marred her smooth cheek.

"Are you sure that you're okay? That beam almost hit you," Niobe asked Trin again.

"Yes, I'm fine, but how are we going to get out of here?" Trinity asked Niobe.

"Neo will find us. He won't stop until he's found you. You know I envy what you two have……..I wish I had that." Niobe looked wistfully at the wall.

"What about Jason?" Trinity adjusted the skirt of her dress.

"I like him, but he's……………." Niobe trailed off.

"Not Morpheus." Trinity finished for her.

"Yeah." Niobe shrugged her shoulders. "It's too bad…………"

A sudden bang startled them. "What was that?" Trinity said aloud, fear widened her pupils.

"Trinity." Neo's voice broke through the debris.

"Neo, I'm here." Trinity screamed back.

Hearing Trinity's voice, shook Neo so bad, he just about fell over.

"We'll have you out in a minute." Jason called out. "Is Niobe there with you?"

"Yeah." Niobe yelled back, unsure of what else to say.

Combining mutual strength, Neo and Jason muscled the debris out of the way.

Neo froze when he caught sight of Trinity. A streak of blood marred her cheek. Striding forward, he embraced her. Tenderly he touched her cheek, "What happened?"

"I……………something almost hit me, I caught the side of a beam……." Trinity looked into Neo's feverish eyes.

Caught up in their emotional reunion, neither noticed Niobe and Jason standing there awkwardly.

"Let's go." Neo moved back from Trinity. Linking hands, he looked at Jason. "Niobe you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rubbing her arm, Niobe took the lead and cautiously walked out of the alcove. Neo and Trinity followed, with Jason in the rear.

Trinity dawdled in the bath, she heard the door softly click and turned to see Neo standing there, holding a pink towel.

"I don't what I would have done, if I'd lost you." Neo's words hung quietly in the air between them.

"Let's not think about that. All that matters is that I'm here, I'm fine, and I'm not going anywhere, ever again." Trinity stood up, completely uninhibited.

Neo moved toward to wrap the towel around her. His hand paused on her waist and drew her forward for a steamy kiss.

Lips met, tongues dueled for dominance. Passion raged, desire beckoned. Trinity's hands raked through Neo's dark locks.

Pulling back for a moment. "Time for bed." Trinity looked at Neo.

"Hell yes." Neo swung Trinity into his arms and carried off to bed.
