I've reposted this chapter because I realized I'd missed out the fight between Trinity and the cops! (oops!)
Sorry this took so long to post, I'll try to update sooner next time.
Big thanks to all my reviewers, Feffy, xPiecesxOfxAxDreamx, x.Shattered Image.x, Sydney Andrews and Zinck, thanks guys!
Here it goes, chapter 6.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, except Dagger and the only part of the plot I own is the beginning and bits in between, so don't sue me!
The Real Reason
Chapter 6.
Trinity kept on running; she didn't know where she was running to, just anywhere away from here. Bumping into Neo was the last thing had planned, and she was already kicking herself because of it. 'If you weren't such a neat freak you could have left Neo's apartment as soon as you'd finished hacking into his computer, but no, you have to be his own personal cleaner!' She thought to herself as she ran down in the general direction of the Heart 'O The City Hotel, but another part of her admitted that she had enjoyed running into Neo, even though she was betraying Dagger for thinking such thoughts. She ignored both feelings and carried on running towards the hotel where Choi and DeJour were hopefully waiting for her.
An hour later Trinity was hacking into Neo's computer from her own and waiting patiently for Choi and DeJour to show up at Neo's apartment.
Her hands ran across the keyboard slowly and hoped that Neo would wake up from his sleep in front of his computer and see the words that she was sending across his screen, luckily there would be a delay between sending the message and it appearing on Neo's screen so she would at least be five minutes away before the agents would notice anything.
She'd just sent the last message when her cell phone went off.
"Hello Trinity." She heard Cypher drawl. It sent shivers down her spine and not in a good way either.
"Cypher?" She knew it was him, but she didn't understand why he was calling her and risking compromising her position.
"Yeah,"
"Is everything in place?" She asked but strained her ears because she thought she heard the line being traced.
"You weren't supposed to relieve me." Cypher told her sounding slightly pissed off, not that she cared.
"I know, but I felt like taking your shift." Trinity lied, she wasn't about to tell Cypher that Morpheous had sent her because he couldn't trust Cypher.
"You like him don't you? You like watching him." Cypher drawled in his usual poisonous voice. 'Shit! As if I don't feel guilty enough betraying Dagger by having these feelings for Neo but now Cypher has to ask me about it!' She thought to herself while trying to answer his question without giving herself away.
"Don't be ridiculous." She answered tonelessly.
"We're going to kill him, do you understand that?" She didn't understand that, but she didn't want to thing about it.
"Morpheous believes he is the One." She sounded a lot more confident than she felt.
"Do you?" 'Do I?' She thought to herself. She secretly knew she did believe he was the One otherwise she wouldn't be falling in love with him. 'Shit did I just think that?' She thought to herself as she just realized that she admitted that she was falling in love with Neo.
"It doesn't matter what I believe." She told him, although she knew it actually mattered a lot.
"You don't do you?" She didn't answer; she knew that whatever answer she gave Cypher she would be giving herself away.
"You do know you're cheating and betraying Dagger?" He was trying to wind Trinity up, but she wasn't about to give the dog a bone.
"How can I possibly be cheating and betraying Dagger by doing what Morpheous has asked me to do?" Ha! She thought to herself, try and worm your way out of that one.
"Now, now, Trin, you know that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your feelings for Neo." Shit! How does he know about those? She thought to herself.
"Did you hear that?" She asked slightly panicked.
"Hear what?" Cypher asked slightly confused.
"Are you sure this line is clean?" Could it be possible that Cypher is helping the agents trace the line? She thought to herself, but knew that Morpheous would surely have picked up on something.
"Yeah, 'course I'm sure." Cypher answer sounding slightly offended, or defensive, she wasn't sure which.
"I'd better go." And with that she hung up.
She knew agents were on their way, but she heard cops outside getting ready to break the door of room 303 down.
She sat at her laptop waiting and thinking about her attack strategy.
Trinity heard the cops kick the door down, but she remained calm, knowing it would be the only way to defeat them.
"Freeze, Police. Hands on your head. Do it. Do it now." Said the cop standing in the door frame with at least three other cops standing next to or slightly behind him with torches shining into the darkened room and handguns pointed in the general direction of their target.
Trinity carefully and slowly rises from the chair, she is still facing the laptop screen with her back facing the cops, but she would be able to tell in an instant if one of the cops moved even a step closer. As she stands up she raises her hands, fingers spread wide, up towards her head. And as she fully stands up she places her hands, which are linked, on the back of her head. The cop closest to her steps forward and removes his handcuffs, which were near his gun holder on his belt. She breathed in slowly as he moved towards her, and she counted his steps. One… two… three… four one more step and he would be able to cuff her. Just as he moves his foot to take the fifth and final step and moves his hand towards hers so he could cuff Trinity she spins round, grabs his right wrist and he automatically drops the cuffs when she places a karate chops swiftly just above his wrist, she lets go of his wrist and she aims a carefully, but firmly places the bottom of her left hand where the bottom of his nose meets his face and his head tilts back so that he is looking at the ceiling, Trinity then places a well aimed levitation kick squarely onto his chest with the bottom of her foot, the cop goes flying in the wall a few meters behind him. A second cop rushes over to make sure that the cop who was now lying on the floor was still alive. While a third cop shines a light towards Trinity just as she kicks the underneath of the chair, the one she had previously vacated, sending it somersaulting into the third cops head and chest area, knocking him off his feet. The second cop, now giving up on his now dead comrade and looks up in shock at Trinity and starts shooting aimlessly at her. She runs about half way up the wall and then she runs around the walls on her left, succeeding in dodging the bullets of the cop firing at her. She lands as gracefully as a panther on to the floor and pounces towards her victim, she runs round the right side of him and he holds his arm out to stop her, she uses this arm as a opportunity to gracefully spin the cop 270° so that he was now facing the other cop, who was now facing both Trinity and the cop who was holding her. Without realizing it the cop had his right arm now stretched out with his gun now facing towards the cop facing them both, Trinity seeing the opportunity grabbed his right arm and fired the gun at the cop standing opposite them both, who then also went flying back against the wall with the force of the bullets. Trinity then changes so the cop is now directly behind her, where she gives him a sharp elbow in the stomach, he automatically doubles over, which gives Trinity the chance to kick him in the head, with he foot going over her left shoulder, once she places her foot back on the floor she forcefully brings her arm round to give any unsuspecting person still standing behind her another elbow in the stomach, luckily for the cop, he had had collapsed onto the floor behind her.
Trinity knew that agents wouldn't be far behind so she grabbed her cell phone out of black PVC jacket and dialed the number for the Nebuchadnezzar's operator, who at that point was Morpheous.
She started to talk as soon as Morpheous answered the call.
"Morpheous, the line was traced, I don't know how." She had a fair idea though, but couldn't accuse Cypher seeing as she had no evidence to support her allegation.
"I know, they cut the hard line. There's no time, you'll have to get to another exit." I figured as much she thought to herself.
"Are there any agents?" She already knew the answer but wanted to make sure.
"Yes."
"Goddammit." She may have already known the answer but that didn't mean she was any less pissed off.
"You have to focus, Trinity. There's a phone at Wells and Lake. You can make it." Morpheous knew that if she didn't concentrate she was likely to get killed, but he knew she would because Trinity was not one to make sloppy mistakes.
"Alright." She answered trying to stay calm and focused.
"Go." Was all Morpheous said before she ended the call and ran to the door of room 303.
