Devon Alexander was doing what he usually did best; racing along the road on his motorbike, flying past buildings and people at high speeds, tempting the police to try and catch him. He was clocking up 140km/h when he was noticed. Checking his mirrors, he saw that he was being chased by one police car. Smiling, Devon put on a burst of speed, pulling away from the police, the lights moving across his mirrors. He turned left and shot past a red light

"That's another one for my crimes"

Devon swerved through the traffic, before turning down an alley and watching the police go flying by. Grinning to himself to congratulate another escape, Devon rode out and went in the other direction, heading towards home

Devon parked his bike in the garage, before heading into the shed and getting some car paint. He then began the process of painting his red bike black. Once it was done, he stepped back to admire his handiwork. No police would get him now. Devon checked the bike three times to find any visible red parts. When they were covered, he went inside, only to see three men in suits and shades

"Okay, who are you and how did you get in?"

"I am Agent Smith and this is Agent Johnson and Agent Brown"

"Whatever it is, I did not do it and it wasn't me anyway"

Smith smiled

"Did you think that we were here to arrest you over your little ride earlier?"

Devon had no answer. Smith continued to smile. The other two men were stone faced

"What do you want?"

"We have an offer. If we can give you this…"

He held up a small vial

"…then we will release you of all charges if you were arrested"

"What charges? You mean, I'll get arrested soon"

Smith checked his watch

"In about three…two…one"

KNOCK KNOCK

"Open up. Police"

"Oh man, this ain't good"

Devon began to pace, while the agents just watched him

"Wait, how did you know the police were about to arrive?"

"I know everything"

"That's just scary, dude"

Devon continued to pace, thinking about what to do

"What's in the vial?"

Smith gave the vial to Agent Johnson, who attached it to a syringe

"What's in it?"

Devon was scared. He didn't know what they were going to do and to make things worse, there were police just outside his door. Smith grabbed Devon by the throat and tossed him onto the lounge. Devon tried to get up, but Johnson and Brown held him down, as Smith came close with the syringe. He rested the tip on Devon's neck. Devon could feel the coldness and all fear went away. All that he wanted was air…

Devon opened his eyes and saw that he was floating in red liquid. There was something large in his mouth. Bursting out of the liquid and removing the object, Devon saw that he was in a strange tub that looked like a cocoon. And he wasn't the only one. There were hundreds, thousands of tubs, all filled with people. He was confused. Looking down at himself, he saw that there were cords connected to the plugs in his body. And he could feel another one. Devon reached up and felt a large plug going into his bald head. Confusion and wondering were swimming inside of Devon. Where was he? What had the agents done to him? He felt strange. Even his teeth felt itchy. He checked them and found a small surprise. He had two pairs of fangs, one on the upper row and one on the lower. Devon set about removing the cords from his body, before taking the one in his head out. Climbing out of his tub, he climbed down to the ground and felt coldness and hunger

"Where am I?"

After finding some rags and wrapping himself in them, Devon left the place, trying to find out where he was and where he could go, unknowing that he had entered the real world from the Matrix

"We lost him"

"Isn't that perfect?"

Smith wasn't happy. Apparently the vampire virus he had given Devon disrupted his signal and awoke him in Machine City, where he was connected to the Matrix, along with million others. Now he had just gotten news that Devon had disappeared from Machine City and hadn't appeared in the Matrix again over the last two days

"Where oh where can our little vampire be?"

And there's the start. A vampiric virus is given to a law-breaker and now he's gone. What will happen now, we won't know until the next chapter. Please review
