Kingsman Tailor Shop

A car pulled alongside the sidewalk of the Tailor Shop, and out stepped Eggsy and Tequila.

"Hey Eggsy you alright?" Tequila asked his partner bringing Eggsy out of his thoughts.

"Oh yeah, I'm good, bruv," Eggsy lied. It had been a whole year since Roxy was killed, and it's been weighing on Eggsy's mind. But Tequila wasn't fooled by his little fake wall. He put his arm out in front of Eggsy to stop him before they went inside the Tailor Shop.

"Come on, man. Now we partners, and we gotta tell each other stuff, now what's on yo mind, man?"

This was a real tender subject for Eggsy, just like talking about his father. But this was his partner, his new best friend, he knew deep down that he could trust him.

"Well, one year ago today, before we met you guys, Poppy sent out some missiles that killed all the other Kingsman... Including Roxy. She was my best mate. Me and her were partners too, we always had each other's back."

"And you had a crush on this little filly now didn't ya?"

Eggsy almost choked when Tequila said that. Was he that transparent? If only he had gotten to tell Roxy.

"What! No! No, I," Eggsy tried to deny it, but Tequila just raised an eyebrow and put on a smirk. "Ok yes, I did... If I hadn't met Tilde, I probably would've told her how I felt... but I can't change the past."

"Hey buddy, listen. I'm sure she knew, and I'm sure that she felt the same way. The way you talk about her, how you two were happy as two boys in a mud walked, there's no doubt in my mind that she didn't feel the same way."

"Thanks, bruv. Now let's get inside before we're fired."

Kingsman Conference Room

The two agents walked into the conference room to see Harry and Whiskey seating at the table with Harry and the new Arthur(played by Anthony Hopkins). As they sat down, Merlin walked in with his clipboard/tablet.

"Hey Merlin, how's the leg feeling?" Eggsy asked his friend.

"F**king spectacular, Eggsy," Merlin replied.

Eggsy snickered at this, remembering when he said that to his friend.

"Glasses gentleman." The agents pulled out and put on their Kingsman Issue Glasses. Merlin tapped his clipboard and an image of The Kremlin came up on the mirror/monitor.

"Last night, someone infiltrated The Kremlin and stole a briefcase with nuclear launch codes." Merlin tapped his clipboard again and another image came up of a person with a mask.

"The person who infiltrated the facility goes by the name of The Red Fox. She 's become one of the most wanted people in the U.S., Russia, and Germany. We don't know who hired her, but since she stole nuclear launch codes, it's a safe bet that they're planning something big."

"What's that?" Eggsy asked, pointing to the picture on the girl's shoulder.

Merlin zoomed in on the shoulder to show a somewhat of a red fox logo, must be how she got the name, well that and the brownish, reddish hair.

"It's her logo," Merlin said before zooming out.

Looking at the image, Eggsy had a weird feeling, like he knew this person. When he looked at her eyes, there was something about them. Something... familiar.

"Eggsy, are you alright?" Harry asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, it's just...," Eggsy paused, entranced by the girl's eyes," Look at her eyes, there's just something about them that seems...Familiar. Like, I know her from somewhere."

"Where?" Merlin asked with a confused face that matched everyone else's.

"...I don't know."

"Well.... um, moving on," Merlin continued, tapping his tablet," Along with the missing codes, we also have a Missing person, a Dr. Martha Lewis."

Another picture came up on the monitor showing a woman with glasses who looked about Harry's age. Harry's eye went wide as he looked at the beautiful woman on the screen. She had bright red hair, so bright that it looked almost blonde. And her eyes, as blue as the sky.

"She's been an employee of The British Institute of Technology

"She's been an employee of The British Institute of Technology. Turns out that she's created a program that can hack almost anything called, Hackers Delight. Once it's activated, you could break into the Pentagon without being spotted."

"So basically it's a GPS that can put you off the grid," Arthur inquired.

"Yes, sir," Merlin confirmed, "I've arranged for Agents Tequila and Galahad2 (Eggsy) to meet with her assistant, Ms. Lindsey Tatum at the institute( Lindsey Tatum is played by Jenna Dewan Tatum, wink wink. Love interest for Tequila.). You need to go there and ask her what she knows about Hacker's Delight and about Dr. Williams kidnapping."

"Alright, gentleman, dismissed," Arthur said.

Getting up from their seats, Eggsy and Tequila walked out and headed for the Institute.
