A week later, one other candidate got sent home due to his inability to shoot a target 800 meters down. I was getting dressed for the day when Merlin called Eggsy and I.

"Galahad is awake, he wants to see both of you," he said. I left with A.J. immediately and Eggsy and J.B. weren't far behind.

"Ever heard of knocking," Harry asked us as he finished shaving.

"Only when I'm casing a place to rob," Eggsy smiled.

"Merlin said you wanted to see us," I asked.

"I hope J.B. and A.J.'s training is going as well as both of yours is,"

"Sit," Eggsy ordered J.B.

"Up," I said and A.J. jumped into my arms.

"Congratulations on making it to the final six candidates. Your test results were even better than I could've hoped," Harry praised us. We heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Harry said. It was Merlin.

"Eggsy, Gwen, I need to have a private conversation. You're dismissed," Merlin told us.

"Nonsense. Let them observe. Might learn a thing or two," Harry denied.

"As you wish. Take a look at this," Merlin replied and pulled up a video of what happened before Harry was out.

"Fucking hell! That is rank, Harry," Eggsy scolded as we cringed at the sight.

"You blew up his head? It's a bit much, yeah," I asked.

"Actually, the explosion was caused by an implant in his neck. Here, under the scar," Merlin explained.

"Did my hardware pick up the signal that triggered it," Harry asked.

"Fortunately, yes. Unfortunately, the IP address I traced it to... is registered to the Valentine Corporation. That's not much of a lead. He has millions of employees worldwide," Merlin replied.

"That Richmond Valentine is a genius," Eggsy mumbled. Harry and Merlin looked confused.

"Did you not see his announcement today," I asked. Eggsy took Merlin's clipboard and pulled up Valentine's announcement.

"We each spend on average $2,000 a year... on cell phone and internet usage. It gives me great pleasure to announce... those days are over. As of tomorrow... every man, woman and child can claim a free SIM card... compatible with any cell phone, any computer... and utilize my communications network for free. Free calls... free internet... for everyone. Forever."

Harry quickly grabbed the clipboard and zoomed in, "Valentine's assistant has the same implant scar. I think Mr. Valentine and I should have a tete-a-tete."

"He's having a gala dinner next week. I'll get you an invitation. You need to be careful, though. Since you've been out, hundreds of VIPs have gone missing. No ransom notes, exactly like Professor Arnold," Merlin warned.

"Then I suggest you make my alias somebody worth kidnapping," Harry replied.

Our next task was to jump out of an airplane. I know, that's insane. Roxy and I were terrified of heights.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," Roxy said as we squeezed each other's hands.

"What, don't like heights," Eggsy asked.

"Yeah, it's okay. I've done it before, which is probably why, come to think of it," Roxy replied.

"Hey, it's gonna be all right. You're top of the class," Eggsy assured her. I was trying my best to hide my fear.
