Sorry it's been so long since I updated this story, but I wanted to take a break for a bit and let this chapter breathe. But now I'm back and I've got some more parts of the story for ya. So let's get into it!

********************************************************************************

Kingsman Tailor Shop

The trio walked into the Tailor Shop and locked the door before heading to the conference room. When they got there, they saw Arthur sleeping with his head on the table.

"Sir, I know this probably isn't the best time," Eggsy said, "But we just had a run-in with the Red Fox and you're not gonna believe what we found out."

But Arthur didn't lift his head. Eggsy and Tequila slowly walked over to him to make sure he was OK. Tequila grabbed his shoulder and shook it, but Arthur still didn't move.

"Maybe he fell asleep from drinkin' too much booze," Tequila suggested.

Eggsy responded with a shrug of his shoulders. Maybe Tequila was right, but something still felt off here. Curiously, he lifted Arthur up to see that he had a bullet hole in his head before swiftly dropping him.

"What the f**k!" Alfie screamed, "Who shot 'im?"

"It was Red Fox," a stern voice said.

The trio turned to see Harry, Lindsey, and Merlin limping their way in. Eggsy and Tequila ran to them and helped them sit down before sitting down themselves.

"What the f**k happened here while we're gone?" Tequila asked.

"Well we were down in the infirmary when the intruder alarm went off," Harry explained, "So we waited until finally, we saw her, and she came at us with such strength, such ferocity. We never stood a chance. The only reason we're still alive is that Merlin shot her and then she ran."

"Well are y'all alright?"

"Yes we're fine," Lindsey said taking Tequila's hand and rubbing it with care.

"If only we knew who the Red Fox was under the mask, I'm sure this would be a lot easier," Merlin stated.

Tequila wasn't one to snitch, but he did know when the right thing needed to be said at the right time. "Well, actually we do."

He looked over at Eggsy, as did Alfie and the rest. Eggsy wasn't too happy about this. One, because he'd just gotten the shock of his life an hour ago, and also because he felt a certain way about it. But he knew he had to tell them.

"The Red Fox is really... Roxy."

Harry and Merlin's eyes widened in shock. Did they hear Eggsy right? Did he say Roxy? No, he couldn't have.

"That's impossible," Merlin stated, "Roxy's dead."

"It was her, OK Merlin!" Eggsy shouted, "I saw her with my own two eyes, and she didn't even know me! I had to f**king fight her! And now she's gone. Out there somewhere, doing who knows what."

"Well, what are we going to?" Alfie asked.

"Well, first things first. Since the current leader of Kingsman is now deceased, the mantle of Arthur now falls to you, Galahad 1."

Everybody in the room looked at Harry. Yes, it was a huge honor, but right now, it was a tough position to be in. One that would require no Nonsense and complete determination. And Harry was ready for that.

"I accept," he said.

"Good, now what are your orders sir?"

"This base is no longer safe. We need to leave immediately. Mr. Using, I'm sorry that you've been dragged into this mess, but you'll have to come with us too."

"Hey don' worry about me, anything for my family," Alfie said with a voice of confidence, "And I'll be happy to help any way I can."

"Thank you. Now we need to get to Statesman HQ ASAP, ten minutes, get what you need and then we meet on the runway. Move out."

The agents and the civilians walked into the jet and took off for Kentucky, USA. Hoping there, they would be able to have some peace and think of a plan of action.

Secret Base in Wyoming

Roxy walked down the hall and into Rocky's office.

"Ah, Red, you made it back," he said, Is the job done?"

Roxy shook her head in response before pulling out a picture of Eggsy and placing it on Rocky's desk.

"Who is this guy?" She asked, "When we were fighting, he talked like he knew me, and for some reason, he looks familiar. So who is he?"

This shocked Rocky. He barely ever heard her speak and what's more, she never questioned him when it came to a mission. But now she was, and also asking questions. Looks like he was gonna have to bullsh** his way outta this one.

"You knew him a long time ago before I found you in that hospital. He didn't come for you, he left you for dead. And now it's time to return the favor. You're more than welcome to keep this as motivation. But I need you to get back on track and help me so that I can bring this world down to its knees. OK?"

Roxy was both surprised and heartbroken when she heard Rocky talk about this guy. If he knew her, why didn't he come for her? Regardless of what she was to him, wife, girlfriend, best friend, sister, he should've come when she needed him the most. And that made her feel torn inside. And that's how he needed to feel. She nodded her head in agreement to Rocky before she walked out and headed for her room.

"Ya know you can't keep lying to her forever," a guy said behind him, "She'll find out eventually. What're you gonna do when she does?"(This guy is Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Patrick Schwarzenegger. His name is Link.)

"What's necessary," Rocky replied before he got up and walked out.

******************************************************************************

And there you have it. Roxy is starting to question who she is!!! Heavy stuff, man. So the next chapter is gonna see the team back in Kentucky at the Statesman HQ. Also, I put Patrick Schwarzenegger in here as a counterpart for Alfie(Tom Holland's character). So that's it for now, and don't worry, you won't have to wait long for the next chapter. It's coming by next week. ;)
