Morpheous was walking towards her. He held out his hand. "Hello Nikki. My Name is Morpheous. I've been looking for you. But now is not the time for questions. Follow me." Nikki shook his hand and nodded. They began to run. After a few blocks, a black limo pulled up beside them. Morpheous opened the door. "Get in. We'll be able to talk." Nikki got in and Morpheous followed and sat across from her. "By now, I'm sure you must have a lot of questions."
"Yeah, like what the hell is going on?" Morpheous laughed softly. "What's so funny?"
"You just reminded me of someone is all, but let's get back on topic. You've heard of the Matrix."
Nikki nodded. "What is it?"
"What if life revolved, not around chance, but around choice? Well I'm going to give a choice. An opportunity to discover what is truly real." He held out his hand; he was holding two pills. "The blue pill will take you back to your apartment. You will wake up believing whatever you want to about tonight and go back to your life. On the other hand, should you choose the red pill; you will discover exactly what the matrix is. Either way, the choice is yours and the decision is permanent." Nikki nodded.
The car pulled to a stop. "Whenever you're ready." Morpheous said. Nikki hesitated momentarily. Go for it Nikki. Take the red pill.
Who the Hell are you?
You'll find out soon enough.
Nikki took the red pill and swallowed it. Morpheous smiled. "Follow me." He said as he exited the car, holding the door open for Nikki. He led her into a run down building with a sign that read Heart of the City Hotel. They walked up two flights of stairs and into room 331.
It was a cluttered, dark room. The limo driver soon joined them. There were two women already in the room. "Have a seat." One of them said. She had short curly hair and sparkling green eyes. She stood about 5'5" and was thin and pale. She pointed toward a rather peculiar looking chair.
Nikki sat down, looking nervous. The limo driver came up behind her and gently placed one of his tanned hands on her shoulder. "Try to relax." His voice was soft and reassuring. Nikki looked up at him. He smiled a warm, gentle smile. He placed several monitors on Nikki to track her. "You ready Kasha?"
"All set!" The other woman replied. She was a small, Native American woman with short, spiky, black hair and keen brown eyes. She looked up at Morpheous. Morpheous nodded.
Nikki looked at the shattered mirror next to her; suddenly, the mirror repaired itself. "What the…?" She reached out to touch the mirror. This has to be a dream, she thought. Instead of solid glass, she touched a cold silvery liquid. The liquid began to flow up her arm, rather quickly. Nikki looked panicked.
"Do you have her, Kasha?" Morpheous asked.
"Almost." The liquid was now consuming every inch of her except her head. "Got her!" Nikki blacked out.
