Kingsman 3: The Red Fox

Chapter 9: Always Got Your Back

(Eggsy's Guest Room)

Eggsy sat on the edge of his bed looking at a picture of him and Roxy on an undercover mission where they were posing as a couple.



They had fun on those missions. They also had fun during training sessions. There was one where Eggsy almost got caught, but Roxy was there, just like always.

Flashback

(One Year & Six Months Ago, Kingsman Grounds)

It was quiet, too quiet. It was a training session. The objective, be as discreet as possible and try to use the element of surprise to catch your target. Eggsy was walking about trying to find a target to take out, preferably Charlie Hescoth. He would so like to get him and rub it in his face.

What he didn't know, was that Charlie was right above him in a tree. He had Eggsy in the center of his crosshairs and was about to pull the trigger when-

(BANG!)

Eggsy swiftly turned around to see that Charlie had fallen out of the tree and landed on the ground with a tranq-dart in his side. He looked around to try and see who fired the shot, but he didn't see anyone.

(WHISTLES)

He heard someone whistling and looked to see that it came from another tree about forty feet away. He saw whoever it jumped out of the tree and started walking towards him. When they got close, Eggsy saw that it was his best mate, Roxy.

"You're welcome," She said with a smug smile.

"What're you talkin' about?" Eggsy replied equally as smugly as Roxy.

"If it weren't for me, that'd be you layin' on your ass instead of 'im."

"You expect a thank you for that?"

"Well you've been training to be a fighta AND a gentleman, so...I'm waiting."

Eggsy just laughed and shook his before he took her hand and kissed it tenderly. "Thank you very much, Ms. Morton, for saving my life. Now is that betta?"

Roxy chuckled at Eggsy's cute sarcasm. It's one of the things she liked about him. "Yes Mr. Uwin, that was lovely. Now let's hit the showers and then get something from the kitchen."

The two slung their practice rifles over their shoulders as they walked back to the Kingsman Manor. The two of them had seemed to work pretty well together and were seeming to be one of the best agents in a while.

"Seriously though, Rox, thanks for saving my ass back there," Eggsy said sincerely.

"No problem, Eggs, it was my pleasure," Roxy replied, "Just remember one thing. Unless there's a bullet in my head, I've always got you back. Always."

Eggsy smiled at her words, knowing that she meant them. And he also knew that he would do the same.

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

(Present Day)

Eggsy shed a tear as he continued to look at the picture, wishing he and Roxy could have had more moments like these.

(KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK)

Eggsy looked up to see Tequila poking his head in.

"You OK, Eggs?" He asked.

Eggsy responded with just a nod as he wiped away the tear streams on his face. Tequila saw this and walked in and sat on the bed next to his partner. He was about to ask what was was wrong, but he looked down at the picture in Eggsy's hand and that explained everything.

"Ya know, Eggsy, from the time I started doin this job, I've learned one important thang, 'Save who can and do your best at it'. But sometimes that don't mean everybody. You gotta be willing to make the hard choices..... Now you know she's gonna be there, right?"

Eggsy nodded. Yeah, he knew, unfortunately.

"Well with the way things are, you may have to take 'er out, man."

Eggsy just continued to stare at the photo in his hands as he mulled over those words. Him? Take out Roxy? That sounded like it was impossible, especially for him.

"I don't know if I can do that, Tequila." Eggsy replied

"Well, she may not give you a choice. She don't know you, well not in the way you want her too. But just.... Remember what I said, 'Do your best'. And when push comes to shove, everythang'll be alright."

Eggsy nodded and let out a sigh. "Thanks, Tequila. You're the secon bes partner I've ever had."

"Hey no problem, man. Now come on, we got a job to do."

"Yes we do, so suit up."

Well that's the emotional REggsy scene before the Big Brawl. I had to put some REggsy parts in here before we see them face off on each other, and making that scene felt good. So enough for now. Next chapter coming soon, later.
