Chapter 14 Program overload
The next few days were pretty much routine and uneventful. Mia was in her quarters reading when she heard someone knock on the door. Hannah stuck her head in and said, "The Captain wants to see you. He's in his quarters." Mia made her way there and found him sitting at his desk and he did not look happy. She sat down across from him and waited. He didn't say anything but handed her a data pad. Mia read it and then sat it back down on the desk. She shook her head and said, "So the counsel now has a list of questions they want me to ask him? I can tell you right now, he's not going to answer some of these." Captain Jackson sat back in his chair and said, "Well they think it's at least worth a shot. Hell, even I know he's not going to tell you how many Agents there are but the counsel feels some communication is better than none." Mia then asked, "So when do they want me to go back in?" Mia knew what he was going to say so when he said, "I would say we do it as soon as possible because we need to get back to Zion and recharge. How do you feel about going right now?" She was not the least bit surprised and answered, "Right now is fine."
She walked with Captain Jackson to the main deck and he announced they were going to broadcast level. It took them a few hours to get into position and once there, everything was checked and ready to go. She didn't have time to feel nervous as she programmed what she was wearing and taking with her into the Matrix. She leaned back into the chair and waited as everything was readied. Captain Jackson came over and said, "Any signs of trouble and you get your ass out of there – got it?" Mia nodded and looked over at Lewis who gave her the thumbs up sign. She felt the connection of the jack and everyone faded from view.
She came to in the dusty apartment she had the last time she came alone. The phone was ringing – she let it ring as she took a deep breath and answered it – "I'm in" she said and hung up the phone. It was early evening and it seemed that everyone was out for an evening stroll. She silently cursed and decided she would get there as fast as possible. The last thing she needed was one of the other Agents finding her before she made to the neutral location. She was once again dressed in black leather pants that laced up the front, a leather vest and a black mesh tank top. She had her favourite chunky boots on again. She checked her gun and made sure everything was working properly. It was a habit, even though it was programmed in, she still liked to see it with her own eyes. When she was satisfied, she headed out down the stairs and into the street. She gave the street a quick glance before she hurried in the direction of the apartment.
Agent Smith once again heard the familiar click in the back of his mind but at the moment he was too busy to do anything about it. He and his partners were chasing four resistance fighters down a crowded street. He raised his finger to his ear piece and said, "Three of them are out. There is one left." The three Agents took off running as the Mainframe informed them of his location. As they rushed the door, they all opened fire as the human was pulled from the Matrix. Agent Jones looked around and said, "He made it out. It would seem they have a new target." Agent Smith walked up and stood where the human had been standing and said, "Get a trace program running. I want to know who it is they are after." He turned and walked from the room with out another word. He was almost to the door when Agent Brown called out, "Where are you going?" Agent Jones shot him a look as if to say, 'what are you thinking?' Agent Smith stopped and without turning around answered, "I will be in contact when I find it necessary to do so. Do not attempt contact me or query the mainframe on my location. " He then continued out the door without another word. The two Agents exchanged looks but nothing was said. They had expected Agent Smith to display his usual temper after coming so close to capturing the human and were surprised when he did not. Agent Brown who was the more intelligent of the two had an idea but kept it to himself. It was almost as if Smith was waiting for something and what ever it was, he just got word about it.
Mia walked to the apartment and kept running over in her head of what she was going to say to him. She had made up her mind that it was best if they just kept this meeting strictly on a professional basis. She herself knew sex could complicate situations and sex with an A.I was something else entirely. She knew there were programs made just for the porn factor but they never really much interested her. In fact, she knew several of the crew had their favourite programs and she had even been offered the chance to try them a time or two. She had never really believed that a program could get the kiss exactly right – until recently. As she made it to the door, she took a deep breath and reminded herself not to let him get too close or touch her. She opened the door and went in.
The apartment was empty. She looked around and placed her sun glasses and the data pad on the counter top in the hallway as she passed. She walked over to the stereo and turned it on. The sound of alternative music filled the apartment again. She wandered around the apartment and ended up in the bathroom. She took out her soap and smelled it. She smiled but then remember that Smith liked that smell and placed it back on the shelf. She didn't want to encourage him but realized she already had the scent programmed in. The next time she came, if there was a next time she, would make sure she didn't wear it.
She had been there almost a half an hour and was thinking about leaving when she heard the front door open.
Agent Smith walked through the door and saw Mia jump to feet. He had a curious sensation, he was actually pleased to see her. As he walked up to her, he noticed her clothing and wondered if she was deliberately trying to dress provocatively. He watched as she tried to act calm as he stood in front of her. She spoke first and said, "I didn't think you were going to show up." He took a step closer but she moved away and went to the stereo, lowering the volume. She turned facing him and waited for him to say something. Agent Smith only said, "I had other matters that needed my attention. I am here now. I am pleased to see that you have returned. I thought that maybe I had frightened you the last time we spoke." Mia watched as he removed the ear piece and let it dangle over his jacket collar. She knew something was going to happen like it always did when he did that. She watched as he started to walk over to her but she raised her hand and said, "Agent Smith, I don't think we should do this. My crew mates would never understand." He was now standing in front of her and removed his sun glasses. She watched as he neatly folded them and placed them inside his jacket pocket before turning towards her. She took a step backwards only to realize she had her back against the stereo. He didn't say anything but only let his eyes slowly travel over her before coming back to her eyes. He tilted his head and said, "If that's what you really want, alright." He didn't move away but continued to stand in front of her, blocking her from moving away. Mia looked at him as he studied her face. She thought he looked slightly disappointed and had formed his mouth into a slight pout. She found herself wanting to taste his lips again.
Mia looked up at him and tentatively reached up and touched the wire to his ear piece and said, "Does this mean you're not wired into the Mainframe?" As she did this, Smith titled his head towards her and took in her scent. Mia realized she was closer to him than she meant to be and slowly let the wire drop as she lowered her hand. He leaned over and barely touching his lips to her ear whispered," Yes. The Mainframe only knows what I put in my reports. The firewall I have surrounding this neutral area keeps inquisitive programs and humans out. Mia if we are going to keep this arrangement on a strictly professional level I have two requests. One, stop wearing that scent as I find it distracting. Two, do not dress like this anymore." Mia could smell him as he leaned over and talked to her and had to force herself to concentrate on hearing his words. She liked that he smelled of fresh dry cleaned clothes and something else she couldn't quite place. She suddenly realized she wanted to kiss him. He was standing there waiting for her answer when she reached up and brushed her lips against his. She drew back to see his reaction and was pleased to see that he was surprised. He looked back at her and said, "I will accept that as a sign that you just rethought your answer." Mia didn't say anything as she reached her hands inside his jacked and pulled him against her as they sought each others mouths. She could feel his hands touching and caressing her back. He slowly slid his hands downwards and gripped her bottom, pulling her against him.
Agent Smith was amazed at the sensations that went coursing through his circuits as his tongue sought hers. It was almost as if his hands had a will of their own and he couldn't get enough of her skin against his palms. He wanted to taste her, to run his mouth over where he knew she would get the most sensations. He felt Mia reach up and tug at his tie, trying to loosen it. He reached up to help her and pulled it free, tossing it aside along with his jacket. He once again pulled her against him and kissed her lightly, enjoying the taste of her mouth. Mia leaned into him so he deepened the kiss. Smith now found his hands sliding up her back beneath her shirt. Mia slowly unbuttoned his shirt not knowing what to expect. As she pulled his shirt open, she could only stare. He had a magnificent chest with just enough hair to be extremely sexy. She closed her eyes and he trailed his mouth down her neck as she reached into his open shirt. She caught his right nipple between her fingers and rubbed it roughly. She heard him gasp and pull away to look at her. Mia smiled and bent down to kiss his now bared chest. He watched fascinated as she slowly brushed her lips against his skin as she made her way to his now hard nipple. She gently kissed it before flicking her tongue across it and then pulled it into her mouth. Smith blinked his eyes as a wave of new sensations washed over him. He reached into her hair pulling her closer to him and gasped again as she grazed his nipple with her teeth. He pulled her towards the other one, wanting to see if the same experience would be the same for the other one. It was. He reached down and pulled her up to him and kissed her more forcefully. He once again slid his hands up the back of her shirt until he came to her under garment. His hands instantly understanding the fastenings, he unhooked it. He slowly brought his hands around to the front and pushed up the garment under her shirt. He wrapped his one hand behind her to steady her as he slowly slid his hand upwards. She was soft and his hand followed every curve until it came to her slightly hard nipple. He rubbed his thumb across before catching it between two fingers and pinching it. He heard her gasp in his mouth as his hand continued to caress and pinch her nipple.
He had down loaded enough information on human biology in his long years in the Matrix that he knew exactly what to do. He had just never had the desire to experience it before. He had no idea it felt anything like this and he found that he very much liked it.
Smith stroked her nipple and felt how hard it was beneath his fingers and brought his other hand around to the other one. Mia leaned against him as both of his hands caressed and pinched until she thought she was going out of her mind. He broke the kiss and stood back a little as he lifted her shirt. He wanted to see what she looked like. Mia stood there and let him look and sighed as he slowly bent down and pulled one of her nipples into his mouth. She gasped as he sucked and pulled on it while his other hand played with her other one. She gently pulled him free and pushed him towards the other one and gasped as his mouth made contact. Mia closed her eyes and heard herself moan as she ran her hands through his hair pulling him towards her.
Smith felt a stirring deep within and he now knew what lust felt like. He slowly stood up and grabbed the bottom of her shirt, lifted it off – under garment and all. As he looked at her almost naked, he let out a low growl deep within his throat. He pulled off his shirt and tossed it to the floor along with the rest of their clothing. He then pulled her against him and whispered, "I want you. I… I need you." Mia couldn't say anything as he once again took her mouth. She could feel his chest against her and decided that she didn't care if he was an Agent. She wanted him as well. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave herself fully to him. He reached down and pressed her bottom against him so she could feel how bad his need for her was. His mouth was now in the hollow of her neck and she moaned as he moved downward and was lightly sucking on the side of her neck. She gasped as he lightly bit her, sending another shock wave through her body. She felt his hands on her pants and felt him untie the laces. For a brief moment she felt panic and reached for his hands. He made her look at him as he reached into the waist band of her pants and pulled them loose. He leaned in and whispered, "Touch me. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, you have my word. I will not hurt you." He then took her hand and placed it between his legs. Her eyes widened slightly as she felt him through his pants. She heard him groan as she touched him and saw him close his eyes. She smiled and reached up to kiss him as she undid his belt and then the clasp to his pants. He reached down and caught her hands and whispered, "Wait." He then took her hand and led her to the bedroom.
The next few days were pretty much routine and uneventful. Mia was in her quarters reading when she heard someone knock on the door. Hannah stuck her head in and said, "The Captain wants to see you.
