Switch almost never spoke to anyone except for Apoc. They had a very close relationship and Trinity found it difficult to understand. She'd never had that before.
So it was a great surprise when the pale woman came to speak with Trinity during her watch.
"Trinity?"
She turned to Switch standing behind the operator's chair she was now occupying.
"Switch? Why aren't you sleeping?"
"I thought you could use some company. You've been really quiet lately."
Trinity smiled. She supposed she had been quiet.
"I've just got a lot of things on my mind."
"You think he's the one, don't you?"
Switch's question caught Trinity off guard and she didn't know exactly how to react.
"I've seen the way you watch that codeā¦It's the same way I look at Apoc and you know it," Switch explained. "You're in love with him."
Trinity relaxed a bit. Switch didn't know what the Oracle had said to her about falling in love with the One. In fact she wasn't referring to the prophecy at all. She just thought Trinity had found her "soul-mate" as some would call it.
"I guess that's it. Maybe I just feel a closeness to him. I used to be like that and I know how it feels to be alone all the time. I want to get him out," Trinity said.
Switch smiled, "I understand, you'll get him out soon, don't worry."
She patted Trinity on the shoulder and left to return to her own room leaving Trinity with more questions than she had had before their conversation.
Breakfast was always an interesting time on board the ship. Mouse and his ridiculous stories usually dominated the conversation. He was a good kid and Trinity knew he would settle down eventually. He just needed some time to get used to the real world.
Cypher had the first watch of the day and he, like Trinity, was assigned to watching Neo. On this particular morning however, Trinity had decided to take an early shift, so she headed up to the main deck before everyone else finished breakfast and had Tank load her into the Matrix. It was very early in the morning and still dark in the dream world. She set up in a room in an abandoned hotel and began her search for Neo. Unfortunately, Cypher arrived to relieve Tank before Trinity was able to get out.
Morpheus pulled the plug from her pounding head and the room spun for a moment before she was able to tell what had happened to her.
"It's alright Trinity. You got out. You made it."
"How the hell did they trace my phone!" she screamed at no one in particular.
Morpheus tried to calm her down, but it was useless. She turned on Cypher.
"What the hell were you doing calling me on a traceable phone? Are you insane? Those were agents in there!"
Cypher gave her a look that threw her into a rage and she lashed out at him only to be pulled back by a much stronger Morpheus.
"Cypher, get out of here. You're off duty the rest of the day."
Cypher made a sarcastic gesture and then left for his own room.
Meanwhile, Trinity had collapsed back onto the chair and was now dabbing at the blood running down the side of her head.
"This was his fault, Morpheus. He did something."
"Just calm down Trinity. You are under a lot of stress. Maybe you should take some time off. Let me watch Neo. I know he's important, but so are you. You are the best soldier I have and I don't want to lose you."
"I can't rest Morpheus. I have a plan. I know how to get him out."
"Fine. Then go and rest today at least. Try again tonight. I'll operate for you so we don't have anymore accidents."
Trinity gingerly rose and headed to her room for some rest.
