Statesman HQ, Kentucky

The agents walked into the conference room to find Agent Champagne(aka Champ) and Agent Whiskey(aka Jack Daniels) sitting down.

"Well well well, looky here," Champ said with a smile, "If it ain't our brothers from London. Tequila's not givin' you any trouble I hope."

Tequila smirked and put his head down in slight embarrassment.

"No sir, he's fine," Harry replied, "But as for the reason of our unexpected visit, a new enemy has infiltrated our headquarters and now we need a safe place to stay."

"Well, as your American brothers, we are completely and fully here to help you in any way possible. Agent Scotch'll show you to your quarters." 

Agent Scotch aka Ginger Ale nodded at them with a smile and wink to Merlin. "This way,  gentleman."

All the agents followed, except for Tequila who stayed behind to catch up with his old boss and co-agent.

Eggsy's Guest Room

Eggsy wiped his face with a towel as he sat down on a bed. He was still traumatized by the previous events of the day. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face and the look in her eyes. The look of anger, hate, emptiness..... and no memories. Not of him or anybody.

(knock, knock, knock)"Eggsy, are you in there?" He heard Harry ask from the other side of the bedroom door. 

"Yeah, I'm here," He replied.

The door opened and Harry walked in and sat next to his young friend. "How're you holding up?" 

Eggsy lowered and shook his head. "Harry, I feel like I'm on a f*ckin' rollacoasta. Just up and down, ova and ova."

"How so?"

"Well, I'm happy that Roxy's still alive, but the fact that she doesn't us, or me, or the fact that I had to fight her has me pissed off!!!" He exclaimed as he threw the towel across the room. He ran his hands through his hair before he let out a sigh and sat back down.

"Maybe it's something else that has to with your feelings for her," Harry inquired.

Eggsy's head shot up as he looked at Harry with a shocked expression. How did he know? Eggsy hadn't told anybody except for Tequila, so how did Harry find out? 

"You know?" Eggsy asked.

Harry nodded. "Of course I knew. I watched you two train together and have fun doing it. I saw the connection you two shared and knew one day you'd eventually act on those feelings. But that was before you met Tilde."

Eggsy nodded in understanding. He knew that stuff happened too when he was with Roxy. He only wished that he could still have those moments.

"But now, the only thing that matters is that we take down whoeva she's working for, and her," Harry added.

"I don't know if I can do that, Harry." Eggsy said worriedly, "I mean, I normally can do this without a problem, but I really don't think I can do it this time. And I know that Merlin said that with this job, there's no time for emotion. But this time....I just don't know."

"That's not necessarily true. There is a time for emotions. When we get the assignment, it's our emotions that move us to do the right thing. It's our emotions that move us to carry on to the end. And it's our emotions that help us stick togetha with us til the end. The point is we have to know when to use our emotions properly, because if we don't, it can get us killed."

Eggsy listened to Harry and nodded in understanding. He knew Harry was right, but he also knew that he couldn't do this without fighting himself. He could only hope that when the time comes, he'd be able to do the right time.

"Thanks, Harry," Eggsy said gratefully, "I really enjoy these heart-to-heart talks that we have."

"Anytime Eggsy," Harry replied patting his young friend on the back before getting up and heading to the door, "Get some rest, Eggsy. Tomorrow we have to find a fox."

With that, he walked out and left Eggsy alone with his thoughts.
