Thanks for the reviews I'm going away on holiday tomorrow so I won' be able to post the next part for awhile. Just bare with me ok. Thanks
Trinity POV
She walks towards us warily. I pull my gloves off then rip Neo shirt open to reveal the bullet wound. It is fairly small but bleeding a lot. I've wrapped my wrist already so he can't complain. I pour some of the bottle of water carefully over the wound. He hisses and I put a hand on his head to try and soothe him.
Olivia kneels down next to them and hands me the bandages. I nod in thanks and rip up the tea towels to press into the wound. As I do Neo grimaces.
"I'm sorry" I say "But I have to stop the bleeding"
"I know" he says smiling slightly "It just hurts"
I hear a gasp from next to me where Olivia is, she's probably never seen this kind of wound before. The next word that comes out of her mouth makes me freeze.
"Thomas"
My head whips round to look at her. She has one hand over her mouth and she is shaking. Oh f. Neo looks at me eyes wide with shock. His look says 'you said they wouldn't recognise me'. I try and send him an apologetic look the Harry comes to our rescue.
"No, dear" he says quietly "Thomas is dead. I know he looks like him but it's not"
"His eyes" she says pointing at Neo "They're my father's eyes. I would know them anywhere" Somehow I know what she means "It's my baby boy. Look at his eyes and that little scar on his chin, that's where he fell and cut when he was three on the beach."
F, we are in some serious trouble. I look at Neo. He looks helpless, he couldn't deny it now.
"Hello" he says
"Hello we don't see you for nearly eleven years and all you say is hello" his mother says in disbelief.
"What else do you want me to say?" he asks "I'm in your back yard shot. I'm sorry I didn't call been rather busy"
"Do you work in intelligence or something?" his father asks.
Thank you, I'm beginning to like this man. I jump in.
"Yes, we're in a secret deep cover mission" I say winging it. I can tell Neo is looking at me with that whole innocent but amused look on. I'm going to hit him if he doesn't stop it "We have to sever all contacts from our old life and they say we're dead it saves questions. These are usually life missions and it means even if we finish them we have to go into hiding. We can't tell you anymore than that, neither can you tell anyone not even you family that Thomas is alive. It would jeopardise our operation and could possibly even kill us if it is leaked."
Neo looks up at me gratefully luckily they don't see it.
"So we'll never see or hear from you again" his mother says tearfully.
"No" he says emotionlessly. "I'm sorry"
"No" says his father "It is better that we know you are alive at least"
Neo smiles slightly then winces in pain.
"Lets get you into the house" his father looks at me "Can we do that?"
"Yes" I say "You take his feet I'll take his head"
Lightning POV
Duck, dodge and keep bloody running you idiotic legs. Well doesn't this sound familiar. I can hear them behind me closing in somewhat too close. Oh shit turn, turn for Christ's sake. There is one in front of me, firing. I duck arms over my head and turn into an alley.
You have got to be kidding me, it's a dead fg end. Ok take a deep breath you can get to full speed in that distance. One thing by the way, even if you can't you're going to. Right 3…..2….1 run up wall keep it up. Push off flip over, land on agents' head not planed but seems to work. Kick them in the head hard.
They both fall to the ground and I take the opportunity to run. I hope they get out soon I don't know this part of the city and I can't risk loosing them now.
Neo POV
I'm lying on the sofa in my old living room. It hasn't changed much there seem to be more pictures though. Trinity is pretending not to be interested in any of them. So I pick one up and show her. My matrix parents have gone to make tea or something like this is normal son returning home scenario . She walks over and sits next to me gently touching the bandages that she and my M mum, as I have taken to calling her, did a few minutes ago.
"This is one of me and my brother on holiday when I was five" I say. She smiles at the photo.
"You look so innocent" she says. I smile.
"I suppose I was"
I look around there are quite a few pictures of me with me brothers or sister. There were never this many pictures of me ever taken I swear it. I used to hide from the camera preferring to take the photos.
"I didn't think there were this many pictures of me. I used to hid from the camera" I say
"When they thought they lost you they wanted you to be remembered" she says. "Mind you I'd have a hard time forgetting you" she leans down slightly and kisses me. I lift one hand up and hold her neck.
We both brake apart and look around as we hear a cooing sound. It's my mother, that is embarrassing.
"Are you two an item or something?" she asks interested.
This is the part of my parents that really annoyed me. They were always obsessed with other peoples' business and always trying to be matchmakers. They set me up with other 'geeks' as my brothers called them they annoyed the hell out of me.
Trinity is going to give them a death glare. I can just tell…yep there it is. My M mother backs off slightly.
"That is our business not yours" she says.
I want to punch the air or hug her. I won't do either. My M mother looks rather offended. Trinity's face softens slightly but only someone who knew her would have noticed it, like me. Her hand finds mine. My M mother sees and a knowing expression comes over her face. She looks at me with that 'Aren't they cute' look and the voice would go high on cute then if you're young they pinch you're cheeks.
I squeeze Trin's hand to stop her saying anything. I hope the others get here soon. I don't know how much more of this Trin can take, hell I'm not sure how much more I can take.
The phone rings and we both freeze. Trin motions for my M mother to get it. She goes over cautiously and picks it up.
"Hello" she says
"Hello Olivia now where are you?"
I know that voice it used to haunt my dreams as a small child. The ones where someone is chasing you. She used to pinch my cheeks and ask why I was so pale then force me to play golf or croquet out in the sun or usually tennis in the freezing winter with my hugely competitive uncle.
"Hello Helen" she sighs "We won't be able to come I'm afraid Harry has gotten a bad stomach bug. Throwing up everywhere"
"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want me to come and help?"
"Oh no" says my M mother "We're fine we don't want you catching it now do we"
"I'll come over tomorrow then and bring some of the healing soup"
"Ok. Bye"
"Bye"
My m mother puts the phone down and shakes her head.
"She hasn't changed Thomas"
I smile Trin looks at me confused. I just shake my head. I blink and look at everything in code just to check we're clear. We are thank god. I'm glad Lightning is keeping the agents off right now.
