Well, it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle
He'll win the next go 'round
It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats
It's spurs and latigo
It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo

"You see when we Agents, and when I saw we, I mean we as in those of us lucky enough to have been written by this lovely lady here, are disconnected from the Mainframe we gain a few extra tendencies. One of them is rather extreme possessiveness. You will discontinue from aiming your weapon at Our Lady. I will make it so you are unable aim any thing ever again." Smith had stepped out of the shadows and now stood uncomfortably close behind Neo. He could hear Smith's drawn S's behind him playing like snakes at his ears. It made Neo shiver, and he cursed at him self for this show of weakness, but no one had noticed all eyes, were on the scene that was playing out of both sides of him.
"I cant take you any were any more Smith; besides, I have enough watch dogs." She smiled at the Agent over Neo's shoulder. "In the construct Neo, you never bothered to learn German did you?" When Neo shock his head no she continues. "Ich weiss nicht, was ich tun soll. "
"Tun Sie, was Sie wollen, Sie allemal tun immerhin." Smith replied in his elastic and satin voice, it seemed just a bit more quirky now as he verbally sparred in German with the girl
She smiled and sighed, "Wahrscheinlich haben Sie recht. " She reached her freehand over Neo's left shoulder and grazed her fingers over the cuffs of Smiths jacket., then added. "Sie sind immer so gut gekleidet."
"I was written that way" He smiled, he liked switching the language in the middle of conversations on her, it kept her off balanced. She smiled back at him. She knew he knew. This was why he was her favorite, Bryant, Kenning, non of them would have had the audacity. Smith was special, her masterpiece and she appreciated him as such.
Smiths free hand now found its way over Neo's right shoulder, and reached around his neck, so that his thumb grazed the lower lip of the girl.
"How did such a sweet kitten come to tame such tigers as us?" The word us, was said to imply all the agents, but Smith's question was not so generous. It was easy to see where his importances lied.
"Every tiger was a kittens once" She replied matching his silky voice in tone.
Neo cleared his voice. "Sorry but… I… well would you two…"
"What is it Mr. Anderson at a loss for words, I dear say it is an improvement." Smith poked his gun into Neo's temple. "Drop your weapon, Mr. Anderson. I am loosing patience. Oh an call that little PVC witch of yours off as well."
Neo's gun fell to the floor with a ringing as it spun its sell out of life. He looked to Trinity, who dropped hers as well.
Fish stepped forward and picked Trinity's gun. The Agents watched him but made no move to stop his action.
Morpheus hisses "Not you too, Link will see this Fish, he will pull your plug."
Fish only smiled as he dissolved the gun back into code between his hands. "Really Morpheus, how many newly picked copper tops do you think can do that. You wanted so much to believe that you were blind by faith."
Mouse spoke up, "So Fish how long did it take you to re-code the Merovingian's fake letters form the Oracle into something that was believable." He was smirking, and Fish was mirroring the look.
"About an hour for the whole lot. It was a rather simple task in all honestly; although, I wasn’t made head of program features on a song Mouse. I have been at this forever 90 years remember?"
Smith cleared his thought and glared the two boys, who as it turns out weren't actually so young after all. "Hold you tongues and mind your place." Finally lowering his gun but still holding it in his hand, he stepped cat like around Neo's body and stood beside L. He smiled down at her, then moved his gaze to the other Agents, whom had been led by Agent Brown.
Brown took a hesitant step back, then motioned to his team. The filed out of the room scowling.
"Wait!" Fish called after them. "You might as well take something for your trouble. This certainly did turn out to be a rather large amount of prep time for very little return. So here" Fish held up a flat hand towards them, then blew slowly on it. A small disk appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to Brown who caught it with amazing gracefulness.
Brown opened his hand and looked at the white disk. His mouth twitch as if he was trying to hold in a smile. "The Merovingian's computer?" Fish nodded. "Thank you Master Fish." The Agents then simply walked from the room. As odd as it was it seemed rather a fitting action. In like lions appearing from the night, out like identical lambs who marched in file.
"You could have just written the information into their data bases you didn't have to show off." Fish just grinned back as Smith
"Hush Smith. Come on gentlemen. And need remind you I use that loosely? You lot wanna get lunch? We could go to Red Lobster?" Fish scrunched his face in disapproval. "Oh honestly I was just kidding Fish." With that she turned and walked to the far door were four Agents still stood unmoving, Desert Eagles till raised. "And for goodness sakes put those down."
"Wait a second. Your just going to leave use here? Not even a fight?" Neo seemed insulted.
It was Smith you answered "Oh come on you thing you could take all of use."
"I fought over a hundred of you Smith, I think I could manage this lot."
Smith's step halted. "What on earth are you talking about?" His face fell. "Oh, Mitzy. Do your best to ignore him, I dear say we do Mr. Anderson. As much as my doppelganger might think he is me, he is just a virus, although a rather virile and dangerous one at that." He almost hissed at Fish as he walked past him then exited through the door behind the girl. Once the room had cleared of all but Fish and the rebels she closed the first double door, then the second. But just before it snapped shut all the way she stuck her head through and called to Fish.
"Seal this door would you, also I expect you in my office at 4 this afternoon, with a complete report ready. One more thing, fix the God dam timing sync. program would you?" The latched shut with a click.
Fish was let standing with his still plastered on smile, that quickly melted into a look of total distaste.
"I'm going to be shot in the head for this one." Fish raised his hand, the door behind him seemed to warp and twist, the oozed downward. After a few second of rampant contorting, it righted its self and snapped back into place. It was no longer a door now but a painting of a door.
He drew out his AK-47 that was really a knife or was it the other way around, well it didn’t really matter anyway. He pointed the gun/knife at Trinity then smiled. "I had fun messing with your head kid, and know that we know the operation and functioning of Zion's ships, and crew structures, we will gladly pass this information on to the machines."
"Fish?" Neo's voce turned his head "What are you? Were you human once?"
Fish looked pensive and sighed. "I was human once Neo, I was born in the Matrix like you. I was a battery I was disgusted by what the machines did. But once I was unplugged then I saw what the resistance did. Killing with out thought, and with out care, and I watched the Agents, they don’t kill humans unless they have too. Not their humans. They might despise them, but they do protect them."
"But you were Resistance, they killed you any ways?"
He took a breath to settled his shaking voice. "I was not like Mouse. The more I watched the more I released that Agents acted like predators. They don’t attack if you don’t run. Four of us were loaded into the Matrix. We were meeting a contact, but we ran into agents first, four of them, in a back alley. My three comrades ran I heard later they all died, but that was not unexpected. The forth Agent stood and waited for me to run. I stood and looked him in the eye, and I said, 'Might I know the name of the man who would kill me?'"
He stopped again as if debating weather it was safe to continue. "I think the Agent was generally stunned. His name was Agent Anderson I found out, and I was most extremely lucky. I had run into Agent number 11, one of the original one hundred written by Lady L. He asked why I did not run, and I told him 'If I run I will die, so why run?' 'If you stay you will die', he told me back, and I remember distinctly grinning at him and replying, 'I no longer wish to run, I must confess that my race kills and runs far to much.' Agent Anderson actually smiled at me, and that’s how I found out the truth. Yes the machines did strike first, but after many long years of provocation. Finally one robot named B166ER, killed its masters becaus fea feared death as so many other robots had died, in land fill garbage compactors. Humans panicked and all the his module were destroyed. Sympathizers and robots a like rose to defend the comrades who were being killed, but violence escalated. In the end almost all the robots were destroyed." He shock his head "Go back to Zion and search for information on 01, that was the home of the machines. Until humans destroyed that as well. Only this one more thing can I tell you. Humans created more then just robots, they built creatures like L as well. Genetically engineered warriors. That’s why they sided with the machines, they were programmed and built and used just like the machines."
Neo was looked like he had just been hi in the face with a sledge hammer "Agent Anderson?"
Fish nodded "its just a list of the most common sur-names, Smith is first he is one, Brown is five, Anderson was eleven." He sighed "Its time for me go." He turned the knife the faced Trinity now towards him self. It was all most hypnotic the sweep of hand has Fish drew his own blade into his heart. Never once did he flinch and his same self assured smile always in place. Fish was gone only a shell of a body remained.
The rebels left one short from the Merovingian estate as uneventfully as they had arrived and nothing in their hands to show for it. They found the exit with out any problems and sat solemnly up in their chairs back in the real world in side the Djoser.
Neo looked over to were fish has been plugged in. His body was gone but a black hunting knife was stabbed in the back rest of the chair. The onyx hilt seemed to dance in the dim blue light. It glittered in lime and red.
