''Thomas! How are you doing?'' The Strangers tone of voice was recognizable, yet strangly blured. The look in his eye had faded a little, but was still apparant.

They all stayed quiet for a few minutes but then Trinity broke the silence.

''So, are you going to introduce me, Thomas?'' Trinity asked. Her look scared the shit out of Neo.

''Uh...yeah sure. Choi, this is Sara. Sara, this is Choi'' Neo quickly introduced them with a few words.

Trinity knew that this man seemed distant and perhaps drunk, but who was she to judge?

''Oh! So another one! Where's Vianna? What a pretty girl she was. Much like Sara, except blonde''

Trinity raised her eyebrow at this statement. She had refused to hear about his ex-girlfriends and frankly wouldn't want to know what he got up to with them during his spare time.

''Vianna? Geez...that was years ago'' Neo stuttered, finding the appropiate comment to reply with.

''But it's been years since we've catched up! I've heard of someone...like you and with a similar description. But i just can't think of his name...''

''Er...why don't you sit down and have a drink with us?'' It's all Neo could come up with to change the subject of his ''mystery'' absence.

''I'd loooove to, but perhaps i have had a few too many already'' Choi spluttered.

''You'll never have to many drinks, you can hold gallons'' Neo's sentence was true, when they went out with girls, Choi was always the one who got plastered after drinking pints and pints of alcohol. It surpised Neo that Choi hadn't become an alcoholic, but maybe he was one now...

Trinity huffed as she felt him sit down next to her. She was looking forward to a nice night out. It was runined within twenty minutes of it starting.

Hours past as the threesome sat down and shared a drink. Conversation was brewing between Choi and Neo. Trinity just sat there, sipping her red wine and staring blankly out of the window.

Enough is enough; thought Trinity as she heaved herself up from the padded seat.

''Where are you going?'' Asked Neo, as he rose to his feet. Choi did the same and swirled, hitting a glass as he went. It knocked onto the floor and smashed into pieces.

''Oopsy daisy'' He said, laughing. He was more than gone.

Trinity made her way past Choi to leave, but was held back by Neo.

''Don't go'' He whispered, he was about a metre away from her and Choi was in between of them.

''Yeah...don't go. Think of all the fun we can have!'' Choi spoke, his expression changing into an evil-like grin.

He dived his hand into his trouser pocket and brought out a shiny, metalic object and brought it in front of him.

He eased the knife into her stomach area and gingerley pireced into her flesh to reveal a red contents. Blood oozed from the open cut wound as Choi delved it deeper and deeper until he brought it out. Afterwards, he licked the knife clean.

Utterley defensless, Trinity fell to the floor and closed her eyes as a last resort to stop the pain. Someone crashing down on her soon brought her back down to reality when she gasped as a person elbowed her in the wound, causing tears to splutter from beneath her eye lashes and down past her cheeks. Neo stood back in horror as he saw her wound.

''Trinity!'' He shouted as he came nearer, but was pulled back by what seemed a barrister. It was of course, Morpheus.

''Come this way'' He grabbed hold of Neo with alot of strench and monovered him outside.

''She can fend for herself Neo, it is pointless to go back in there, you are the One remember''

''She cannot do that! Have you seen how bad she is? Don't you know she's been badly injured? I have to go back in there!'' Neo raged and refused to obey Morpheus's orders. He proceeds with his initial plan. To save Trinity.
