We went to this new club which was quickly becoming one of the city's most popular night spots. It featured a bar, a dance floor, and loud heavy metal music. It was a place that normally I would have felt comfortable in but for some reason I felt uneasy.
"Want a drink, Raven?"
It was Katrina.
"No thanks Katrina."
"I'll be down by the bar if you need me."
I didn't say anything. I sort of fell out of the scene, leaning against one of the buildings interior support structures.
Katrina sat down in front of the bar and ordered a coke. Minuets later, a tall thin light skinned man with well kept brown hair and brown eyes dressed in what appeared to be a suit with a trench coat-like bottom took the seat next to her.
"Have you ever had a dream that felt so real, when you woke up you couldn't tell if you were really awake of still dreaming, Katrina?"
"Yeah. Wait you're the voice on the phone. How do you know my name?"
"Are you sure that's really the question you want to ask?"
She thought for a moment, remembering her phone conversation with the nameless man who was now sitting next to her.
"The Matrix has you."
It was the one statement that confused her the most."
"What is the Matrix?"
"That's the question. I once wondered the same thing. And you'll find out soon. But for now, both you and Raven must be careful. They're watching you."
"Who is?"
"We will meet again. Goodbye Katrina."
He stood up and walked off, leaving her with more questions then answers. But at least now she knew the question.
As I leaned against one of the buildings interior support structure I was approached by woman with black hair who was wearing darkly tinted sunglasses and a black leather outfit.
"You're in danger, Raven."
"How do you know my name?"
"There is much I know about you, Raven, and Katrina also. But that's not important. What I know they know. They're watching you."
"Who are they?"
"Are you sure that's really the question you want to ask?"
I thought to myself for a moment, remembering the caption that had appeared on the computer screen.
"The Matrix has you."
"It's the question, Raven. Do you know what that question is?"
"What is the Matrix?"
"Yes. That's the question. You will know the answer soon enough. We will meet again. Goodbye Raven."
She left me standing there with more questions than answers. But now I knew the question. I felt like I had had enough of this place. Right on que, Katrina came to me from the bar.
"I'm tired. Let's go Raven."
