Chapter 17 Not out Yet
Agent Smith had heard through the mainframe that Mia was running down a street and that Agent Brown was in the area. He looked around for a nearby host and leaped into their code. He was surprised to see that Agent Brown had Mia on the ground but only after he assessed the situation did he realize what had happened. The van driver was standing there telling Agent Brown that he never saw her and that she had run into him. Smith had heard Lewis frantic shouts for her to hurry and why. It had caused her to act reckless and very likely could have cost her life. He walked up to Agent Brown and said," She is allowed 5 minutes to make it to an exit as our agreement. Is that understood?" Agent Brown thought about questioning Agent Smith's internal clock as he was certain he was off by several seconds. He thought better of it and answered, "Yes. I understand. The next time, should I encounter the female. I will grant her the allotted time." Agent Smith glared at Agent Brown through the tint of his sun glasses as he knew that he had given Mia an extra 51.37 seconds and Agent Brown knew it. He turned walked away without saying anything and headed back towards head-quarters. He still had upload his report to the mainframe and needed to get all of his thought processes in order. He found that seeing Mia almost meet her demise had bothered him. He walked to Head-Quarters and once there shut himself in the office. He connected to the mainframe and gave his report. The Mainframe was pleased with the progress but once queried him about the lost connection. He again explained the need for it to gain the human's trust. The Mainframe replied that it understood and ordered him to proceed as planned. Smith felt the connection break and looked around the room to see Agent's Jones and Brown waiting for instructions. He was in no mood for them as he wanted time to go over his new experience and carefully analyze it.
Agent Smith walked over to the window and looked out over the city. He said without turning around, "Are we any closer to finding where their next target is located?" Agent Jones answered, "No, but we are still doing a search." Agent Smith nodded and turned from the windows and looked at his partners. He felt elated that he had just experienced something that they would never know. He now knew what it was like to give a caress that caused ecstasy as well as receive. The thoughts were all there in the back of his mind and now that he had given his report, he would have time to think on them. He walked over to Agent's Jones and Brown and said, "Leave me. Finish running the search and inform me when they are complete. "The Agents nodded and left.
Agent Smith then went back to the window and pulled everything that happened out of his secret place and shook his head. Mia was like nothing he had expected. He knew that humans had sex as it was part of their nature. The experience was like nothing he had ever felt in all of his long years in the Matrix. He enjoyed the control that it brought him when he realized he could tease and slowly build Mia to a shuddering climax. He found him self smiling ruefully as she was able to that to him as well. He had taken her five times and probably would have more times had he not been concerned about harming her. His thoughts then turned towards her almost not getting out of the Matrix in the allotted time. He had heard the operator Lewis, tell Mia that sentinels were on their way and to hurry. He knew that would be one of her biggest concerns and from the sounds of it, it was very close call. He knew that sentinels had found a ship but he didn't realize whose ship it was. If something happened to Mia's ship while she as in the Matrix, she would simply die. He found that he was not yet ready to let her go. He had an idea but he was not sure how far he had gained her trust.
Mia went to her quarters and was grateful no one was there. She slowly sank down in a chair and shook her head. She knew what had happened in the Matrix was all in her head – in a program if you will. But it sure as hell felt real. She could feel the soreness between her thighs and how sensitive her nipples were against the coarseness of her undergarment. She closed her eyes and leaned back. In all sense and purposes, she felt like she just had spent all afternoon screwing and it had felt wonderful. She had enjoyed teasing Smith as much as he had enjoyed teasing her. If anything, he was probably the best lover she had ever had. She had no regrets of taking Smith as a lover but his last words had surprised her. Did he actually think that she was his? She shook her head and thought it was a bit absurd – and he was hers? She sighed. He was a program. How could a program get possessive?
She opened her eyes and reached for the data pad. She needed to go over what he entered. As she looked at the data, she shook her head. She had never expected to answer some of these questions. She had to think about what she was going to write in her report and figured the sooner she got it out of the way, the better off she'd feel. She wrote her report and used the data pad as reference and hoped that the counsel wouldn't question her. She swore to herself the next time she went in, she would get the data herself. And not trust Smith to fill in a data pad without her knowing exactly what it was he was putting in there. She was a bit worried about the sentinels. Because had her timing been just a little more off, she might not have made it out. She wondered if Smith knew what had almost happened. She was surprised to see him show up and stop the Agent from shooting her. She had thought for sure she was not going to make it out. She would have to thank him when she saw and she knew just how to do it!
Lewis was alone on one of the lower desks and sat thinking. It had bothered him that this Agent had put up a firewall and he totally didn't buy into Mia's explanation as to why he put it up. He thought maybe there was something that this Agent didn't want everyone to know about. Mia seemed to get an excited look in her eyes when she talked about Agent Smith. If he didn't know better, he'd think she was infatuated with him. He thought back to earlier that day when Mia had come out of the Matrix after spending several hours alone with this Agent. He had noticed how she gingerly slid off the chair, almost like… NO. He thought. She wouldn't sleep with this Agent – would she? He had seen people do similar things after spending the day in one of those pleasure programs. He shook his head again refusing to believe it. He had an idea about how they could contact Mia. They could program in a cell phone and she could leave it somewhere where she could hear it ring if they needed to reach her. He would also be able to pinpoint her exact location.
Captain Jackson and she had sent their report the following morning. Mia was sure they would be excited to read what Agent Smith had to say. She couldn't help the nagging feeling she had that he was spoon feeding them in order to keep her coming back into the Matrix. She could only hope that everything he was telling her was the truth.
They were now heading back to Zion to recharge and would be there within a day's time. Mia was sitting in the mess hall playing cards with Hannah and Captain Jackson when Lewis came in. He smiled at everyone and said, "I have an idea. The last run in with the sentinels almost took us all out while Mia was in the Matrix. Well, I've come up with a plan. I can program a cell phone in and make the ring so loud you should hear it though the firewall. As long as you stuck it to the door frame or somewhere near the door, in theory it should work. What do you guys think?" Captain Jackson grinned and said, "I was thinking about something along the same lines. Mia, what do you think?" Mia shook her head and said, "It sounded like a brilliant idea!" Lewis smiled asked what they were playing and if he could join is. As the cards were dealt out, the only thing he was worried about was the timing of Mia's next Matrix visit. I hoped it would be second or even third shift.
Zion was beautiful as always. After they docked, they were told they would be allowed to stay 3 days before going out again. Everyone was excited about seeing their families and spending time off the ship. It made no difference to Mia except for getting to sleep in her bed. The days past quickly but on the last day she got a note from the counsel. Mia opened it and quickly read it. It was a formal note telling her they were quite pleased with the work that the Prometheus was doing. She smiled when she saw that all the crew members were all listed. This would certainly make everyone proud. It was really never made public what the exact mission of the Prometheus was. The counsel had felt the time was not right about going public that a dialogue had been opened between the machines and the humans. They wanted to wait and see where this was all leading to before they made any announcements. There was also a more private note for her alone. The counsel was quite pleased with the progress and wished her continued success.
The Prometheus headed out the next day and the crew was jubilant about their mission. Everyone now felt they were getting the recognition they deserved.
