Here you go. Thanks for the reviews.
Trinity POV
I walk into this house, looking everywhere for something to jump out and attack me. Ok, I'm a little paranoid but it's is sort of trained into you. You trust no one here.
The kitchen has to be around her somewhere I walk into the next room and thankfully it is the kitchen and I start to search for some towels. I find bottles of water and take two bottles to help clean Neo's wound. I finally find some tea towels and take a pile of them.
"Are you going to ask to use those things?" a male voice says from behind me.
I whirl around dropping everything and training my gun on him. There is a shout in a woman's voice from further back.
"There's one outside too Harry"
I move the gun to the direction the voice came in. Oh shit she's seen Neo and he can't defend himself. I decide to go for threatening.
"Look" I say to the man with my best don't mess with me attitude "Let me use these things for my friend, he's hurt or.." I let a pause ring out "I will just take them and hurt you" he looks shocked "We're just waiting for some people to pick us up then we'll be gone. Cooperate alright" he nods slowly "Good"
I lower my gun but letting me coat open when I put it back to show the other one in my holster on the opposite side. The man swallowed
"Call your wife away from the garden" I say slowly and he does.
"Honey come away from the garden and come in here" he calls and the woman appears a few seconds later.
"Harry he looks hurt… oh" she's noticed me.
I smile and again let my coat open to reveal the guns as I look at her.
"Listen to me do you have any bandages" I say "My friend is hurt and I need to help him. We won't hurt you or take anything else from you if you do as we say. Understood?" They both nod. "Good. Now you go and get the bandages and don't call anyone, what's your name?"
"Olivia" she says shakily
"Olivia you go and do that and Harry here can come with me to see my friend to prove I'm not lying"
The woman nods and runs off upstairs while Harry follows me outside carrying the water and towels. I walk towards Neo telling him to stay back. He looks up at me.
"What is he doing?" he asks
"Being helpful" I say "I can't just kill them for being there and if they try anything we will kill them" I turn to the man. "Come here Harry"
"Wait Trin" he says pulling on my sleeve and I hold a hand up and Harry stops "I realised something, this is my parents house. He is my father."
Neo looks at me and oh bollocks I hadn't thought about that.
"They won't recognise you Neo, you've changed a lot" I say to reassure him.
He nods and then I beckon Harry forward. He walks forward and hands me the water and towels. I nod at him slightly then turn to Neo and give him some water to drink.
"Neo I need to clean your wound"
"Ring them first" he says.
"Alright" I take the phone and open it.
Neo POV
I watch Trin as she talks to Tank. I sigh as I hear Morpheus is ok and turn to look at my matrix father. He seems rather apprehensive of us. Not that I'm really surprised Trin has probably pulled a gun on them or something. Actually all she probably had to do was stare at them, that can scare Morpheus and Zion officials let only a Poddy. That would be my nickname for all those still in the matrix, some hero I am.
A woman comes out of the house. My god it's my mother, no she isn't my real one. I don't have a mother although the machines… ugh don't go down that road you idiot. I think I'm a little high from the drugs or something. My head has got a little fuzzy.
Ok, try not to look right into her eyes and hope she doesn't notice mine. I look at Trin instead she closes the phone and turns to me.
"Niobe and Ghost are waking Morpheus up and Lightning is on a real wild goose chase with the others. I'm going to kill her when we get back. She won't go home until we've all got clear. She thinks they'll just come back for us"
"She might be right Trin" I say looking right at her "We have to trust her. This is what she's been doing for the past four years anyway"
"I know but I can't help worrying"
"Um excuse me" came my mother's timid voice. Trin whirls round
"What?" she almost snarls.
"Trinity" I say soothingly.
"Sorry"
"I-I have the-the bandages" she stutters.
"Bring them over here" she orders and I shake my head slightly. She really has no patience for poddys.
