The Order

Chapter 6: Passion

Jones's POV:

'What have I just done?' would be the first thing that would come into my mind if I were like Agent Smith and interrogating myself. Ever since the glitch came back I spared her life. Hid her from my fellow agents. In the very same building I live and work in. Most egregious of all is that I mated with a human. The thought alone should make me repulsed. Yet it didn't and part of me wanted afterwards to just lay with her in bliss keeping her safe in my arms. Even though I had a desire to feel nothing but her skin on my own I restrained myself because I knew even though being an agent of the system gives me all this access and strength. It was still strength that could easily break her and strength I used to use without thought when my command unit Agent Smith told me to take a human's life. Part of me felt weak dreading the one thing I was going to do. "...I love you" Miss Broere mumbled half asleep while I held her close protectively. I heard the words yet felt confused. Was this the emotion I had been feeling all this time was? I couldn't go back to my office right now. I was still a little out of breath and part of me wanted to go to sleep as humans would call it. But my shades were off and my earpiece wasn't in my ear either. My suit still being on my body yet it looked like a mess. I'm still slightly surprised that I didn't just tear my own clothes off whilst mating with her. But I know it would save time and make this quick  even though it is something I'm scared of, Yet I must do none the less.

"...miss broere" I said getting her attention. Her beautiful blue eyes opened and looked into my icey blue ones making part of me find this that much more difficult to do. I took a deep breath and looked down at her. Completely calm. Almost like how I was before in demeanour yet I still felt that I cared for her. I told her over the past few days I felt strange emotions around her since the day I first met her. That being true, I still couldn't tell her that I was a program and not a human like her. I told her I finally knew what I had been feeling the day I spared her life and made me disobey my command unit Agent Smith. Even though I called Smith my boss to her. I said that I now knew that what I had been feeling around her was love. These feelings of love and affection driving me to protect her from anyone who would dare hurt her even if from my own side in this seemingly never ending war in the real world. But then told her that she needed to get dressed and follow me out of the building. The woman I now knew I loved looked a little confused in her eyes yet quietly got dressed into some proper clothes. She had been wearing the white nightgown I bought her all day and even though it made me want to feel her soft skin I knew it might not be seen as appropriate and raise suspicions in the agency if she left still wearing it. I fixed my suit making it look perfect. Nearly everything as how it was before until I said it was time to go. 

We left the building she had been staying in for days. The security guards not stopping me from leaving with her and we didn't run into either Brown, Smith or any other agent. I imagined that Brown might have still been updating his background check of sorts into Miss Broere's family to see if anyone else was on the side of the resistance. Smith on the other hand could be more of a wildcard as like myself he can appear in an instant if he chooses to. Smith also being a command unit gives him more access to things then me as I'm still a combat unit. However if I had to choose between becoming a command unit like Smith or being with Miss Broere. I now know without question I would choose her. We drove in silence through the city streets. Her mind probably still not knowing of where our destination was. But I didn't want to tell her just yet. As I did so I saw so many other humans just going about their lives. I wondered what it would be like if this glitch happened to me with someone else. Yet I would imagine I would be in even less trouble with my the agency if the glitch made me fall in love with my command unit or another agent instead of a human. If her existence wasn't so fragile I could show her love that was as rough as I wanted. Knowing that even if we destroyed furniture and damaged walls of solid concrete and stone, we would both still be okay. Yet I will admit I still like being gentle with her. Even though I have to it still feels nice. Something part of me soon knew would have to stop for a while if I was truly going to go through with this.

I stopped the car and Miss Broere looked outside to see that we were at the apartment complex she used to live in. The same complex where what felt like so long ago, I would just follow orders and kill red pills without mercy. Until I was ordered to kill her. I could only imagine what she was thinking. Was she excited to be back there again? scared? confused? We took the elevator up to her floor and the closer the time got the more part of me didn't want to do this. But I saw no choice. In this fairy tale of sorts I am the beast and Miss Broere is the beautiful young woman who helped me lift my own curse. We finally got to her apartment and I apologised for the front door being broken. I told her I had to get her things but she said that she understood before asking if we were going to make love in her apartment next. Yet it felt and sounded more like a question then a lust filled request of passion. Her only having with her the figure in the pocket of her blue hoodie she was wearing, whilst she held onto the stuffed toy I took when I broke in to retrieve some items of hers for my mission before I knew. I knew a lot of her things were still in my apartment. Yet I would have to hide them if this plan of mine was to work. "Miss Broere. I've already told you that I love you and loved being with you in the place I live and work in...but it is time for you to be able to come back here if you so choose...I won't make you live in my apartment anymore and you can go about your life like before. But what I ask as one last request for this moment, is that you be careful around others following what is going on..." I said. Miss Broere looked shocked at what I was saying before she smiled possibly thinking that as long as I was around even not in person. I would keep her safe.

She kissed me for what part of me felt like was the last time. I kissed back yet even though I felt a small bit tempted to do as she'd questioned. Just mate with her again and be as rough and passionate as I desired to be without hurting her. I knew I had to and reluctantly pulled away from her warm and loving arms. I said goodbye to her and left going back down to my car. Driving away and going back to the same building we were at together before. Showing my ID to the security guard before going back to my apartment first instead of my office. Once inside I went to everything that looked like she'd been staying with me. Making sure it was well hidden and out of site before it looked like it was just myself who was living in my apartment again. My closet just showing the usual agency suits I always wore, my bedroom having none of her personal affects until I left and returned to my office. Trying my hardest to make sure I looked like my old self. I found a report on my desk and looked at it. Seeing that it was from Agent Brown where it seemed that her brother was still alive while another cousin of hers had now been unplugged. A saw a few other relatives of hers who were dead but not all of them were those who had been killed by agents. I put the file away into the filing cabinet close to the back where it couldn't easily be seen. I hoped that she wouldn't be unplugged. Fearing if she was she might not love me anymore if she found out I was a program. That we couldn't be together if she was and that we would have to spend the rest of our lives fighting on opposite sides until one of us was dead. I took one last deep breath to calm my nerves and fears after I checked my earpiece. Before I took the action to bury the changes to my programming along with the glitch deep down into myself where it could be very easily hidden. Releasing the woman I loved and lifted me from my curse so she couldn't be harmed. Even by myself as I made myself act as if she was already dead. Before I finally made myself go back to how I was before. Only time being able to tell if I could keep my word to a woman I know saw as dead.
