-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex had been through a lot since she last saw Robert. She had felt really crappy after what she had done.She wasn't ready to be freed, just wanted to live her life until she was ready.Things had been awesome lately. She'd been home enjoying as summer. No matrix. No Robert. There was plenty of time to just be normal and spend time alone if she wanted.
She walked up to the park on this breezy August night, laptop in hand and sat on a bench. She seemed pretty happy. The reason she was there was to meet her online friend Lily who lived not to far away. Alex flipped up her laptop and logged onto AOL. "hmm wonder if Lily is on?" Little did she know her friend was on but she was just ghosting as many of her friends often did....
Crimson was in the matrix, on his way to see the oracle to see what his future might hold for him. He was indeed a gifted fighter. A bit faster and stronger than some of his fellow rebels. Some aboard his ship thought he potential to be greater than he already was. They had suggested he go to the oracle, so he did. He met with the oracle but she explained to him in her cryptic ways that the journey for him was not that of the one. But he was indeed important. In fact he was to safeguard The One as long as she needed him.
After he had walked out of the oracle's building his phone rang. he picked it up. "Hello" the operator of his ship answered. "hey we need you, we are trying to save this girl, but agents keep showing up. They must really want this one." The operator then gave the details of where girl would be and when she would be there. "I'm on it." Crimson hung up the phone sliding it back into his coat pocket, and heading on the way to the spot where the operator said she was, waiting on the edge of a park.
He eventually walked up to her and comfortably took a seat on the other side of the bench. After a moment he looked over, pulling his sun glasses down onto his nose." Do know what the matrix is? " She looked back at him like she had heard someone say about the same thing before. which surprised him a bit. not many people who hadn't been freed had heard something of the sort regularly, and even more odd was her response to it. She gave him a questioning look. " Do you know Neo? Maybe you're one of his friends" Crimson gave her a questioning look back. "ER.. yes, I am. has someone been by to tell you about this before?"
"I guess they've tried but theses guys in black suits and sunglasses kept running them off. For some reason the suits are always after me..." :she sighed as she again closed her laptop. Crimson nodded, then stood. " I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. And if those suit guys come back. Don't hesitate to run I won't be far away. "
He left her again to her laptop and walked away flipping up his cell phone. " I 've found her. no sign of trouble yet but I'll stick by just in case anything comes up." Crimson hung up his phone and leaned on a light post. He kept a watchful eye on her. She seemed to sweet to be that special of a rebel but hat was just his first impression of her. Alex again open up her laptop and signed back onto AOL. This time her friend was visible. She clicked on her name and began typing away.
IM to LadySpider08 from LadyHacker03
LadyHacker03: Took you long enough to show yourself. where the heck are you? I've been sitting in this park for over an hour now. (Alex spoke as she typed)
LadySpider08: I'm so sorry Alex. I can't go. Didn't you get my email.
LadyHacker03: Uh no. I wasn't paying attention to the little mail box thingie. But now that you got me. what happened? Why can't you come?
LadySpider08: Forgive me Alex but my brother forbid me to go. He says its not safe. especially not now.
LadyHacker03: WTF! My neighborhood is the safest area around. Just because I live in The U.L.D. (Urban Latino District)
doesn't mean its trouble. I mean there's a Damn police substation right down the street from here.
LadySpider08: Wait Alex did you say you're still waiting in the park?
LadyHacker03: Uh Duh Smart one. I told you that like 15 minutes ago.
LadySpider08: Oh My Gosh. Alex you're not safe there. Neo, I mean my brother said to go home.
LadyHacker03: WTF?! Stop pulling my leg Lily.
LadySpider08: Geesh Just Go home Alex. NOW.
LadySpider08 has signed off. 11:30 PM EST
"Great Just my luck." Alex closed down her laptop but as she did she heard an eerie voice call her name.
" Alexandra Morales." Alex froze for a second and didn't lift her head from her laptop. she just shut it and said, " That depends on who wants to know. " she then looked up and saw a man dressed in a black suit wearing dark sunglasses standing before her.
The man cracked his neck a bit and said quite bluntly, " WE need you to come with us miss Morales." Alex raised a brow slightly and responded with a slight attitude. " Yea and what if I don't want to come with you federal agent look alikes. I haven't done anything wrong. I'm just sitting here enjoying a nice summer evening in the park." The man's tone did not change as he spoke again. " We need to help us out. Now you can either do so and come along peacefully. Or you can resist make things difficult on yourself."
Alex smirked a bit and stood up. " I know my rights. So you know what, I think I'll be on my way now." She began to turn and walk away when the man grabbed her. "Get off of me. Cause I'm not going anywhere with you." Alex some how broke free of his grip and began to run while clutching her laptop.
She wasn't going to let them take her so easily. She stopped dead I her tracks after she noticed that she was surrounded. " What the hell do you guys want from me?" Alex said while stumbling back out of fear. " Its simple. We want information and you my dear are the key to getting it." Two of the suits grabbed her and the third was going to knock her out.
" Let go of me. Somebody Help! Don't let me Take me!" Just then Neo came outta nowhere and started pounding the two holding her catching them off guard. This gave Alex a chance to run. She ran and even dropped her laptop. But she tried hard not to stop for it but the others were closing in on her. Though neo was doing crowd control keeping them far enough away so that she'd have a chance to run. so she kept running.
Hearing the commotion he ran side just in time to assist in her rescue. It was then that he noticed Neo and saw poor Alex running away from him with out any cover. Alex was trying to turn back because she had dropped her laptop but crimson grabbed her by the elbow, not forcefully but in urgency to pulled her away from the on coming agents.
Neo fought off the agents as the two made their escape. Crimson held on to her delicate and now shaky arm as they ran. "You have to come with me. I will show you how you can free yourself." He led her to the street were his bike was and bid her jump on the back. They took off heading down the street until they came to the old abandoned building. The same that Morpheus used when he saved Neo.
He stopped the bike, got off, walked quickly over to the door, opened it and held it for her. Once he walked inside he saw that Neo was there. He nodded to him, and neo looked over at Crimson then Alex. Then Neo walked over to Alex. "Alex come with me and I will open your eyes." She followed him as they traveled up the stairs and into the room.
Crimson stayed at the bottom of the stairs a moment, then seeing as he was hardly needed anymore he headed out the door and took off. Besides he had to get back to the ship to tell his captain of what happened. Alex sat down in a leather chair and just stared at Neo. Before he could speak a word she looked at him and said, " Look if you dragged me here to tell me the truth then guess what. I'm not ready to listen. I'm not done here yet. when I'm ready. they will know. Ask the old lady I met in the park. she said you'll listen to her." Neo cocked a brow at her and stood up. " I'm going to go now and leave you. You are a special girl Eternity and you should really just wake up."
Seconds later Alex woke up in her own bed covered in sweat and wondering just what the hell she was dreaming just now. She sat up for a moment and thought out loud. "Its obvious someone is not telling me something and these dreams seem more and more real. And more like that matrix thing I've heard about. Its really starting to scare me. but maybe Lily knows something. She will know what the hell all this means"
Alex flopped back down on her bed and slowly fell back alseep.
