We rode mostly in silence as I was still confused by what had just happened.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Neo. I am The One who was supposed to end the war. But that's another story."
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because you and Katrina are more important than you know."
"What do you mean?"
His answers were only confusing me more.
"All will be explained in time. What's important now is that we make it to your house before they do."
"They? You mean those agents?"
"Yes. If we're lucky, she'll get to her before they do."

A tall thin woman with black hair and darkly tinted sunglasses stood before a ringing phone. She picked it up and spoke only one line into the mouthpiece.
"I'm in."
Outside the building, there was a car there waiting for her. She got inside and started the car and drove off towards my house. But despite all her efforts, she wouldn't make it in time.
It took Agent Brown no time at all to find the house. He ripped the door off the hinges and proceeded inside. He found Katrina sleeping in the bedroom at the back of the house. The sound of the door being ripped off the hinges had awakened her.
She lay there on the bed cowering before him in fear.
"What do you want?"
"Ms. Katrina, you'll be coming with us now."

Trinity arrived at the house before we did. "Shit!" she exclaimed when she saw that the door had been broken down. She drew a 9mm pistol from her pocket and cautiously entered the house.
As she moved through the house, Neo and I pulled up outside, "Shit!" he exclaimed after noticing that the door had been broken down. I made a move to get out of the car but he stopped me.
"It wouldn't be safe. She's in there and she's armed. We're better off to wait for her to come out and see the car." He explained.
Trinity quickly went through the entire house and found nothing. Moments later she stepped outside the house and saw the car sitting there. She ran over and Neo rolled down the window.
"We're too late."
"I know. We'll need time to find her and to prepare."
"I know. What are we going to do about him?" she asked.
"Don't worry about me I can handle myself." I replied.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry."
"Fine then." He replied. "Let's get back and find her."
"I'm going with you." I insisted.
"You can't. You're too important." She argued.
"Listen, I love her. Neo, surely you must understand. If you had someone you were in love with who was in this situation, you'd go after her too wouldn't you?" I asked.
Neo turned his gaze back to Trinity and then back to me. "Yes I would." He replied. So then it was settled. I would have to wait for them to return when they were ready and knew where Katrina was.
