Book I
"So.. you'r' tailor?" he asked and raised an eyebrow at her.
"And you're a spy." She said looking at him pointedly and picking up the scissors and twirling them in her delicate fingers. Letting her eyes fall down to the table...
Sophie was sitting in Merlin's office. Oblivious of whatever was happening and biting her nails, she sat there. Not crying anymore, she had done that when she stormed into Merlin's office. Now she was just sitting, tears drying on her cheeks and staring at nothing in particular.
"Richards, there's no time to lose. Get up we're leaving." Merlin said to her. She raised her head to look up at him, seeing Roxy with Eggsy hot on his heels.
"What's going on?" She asked in hoarse voice with stuffed nose.
"Mission. Grab the suits." Merlin said walking away. Sophie looked at Roxy, not understanding anything at all.
"Turns out that Arthur was with them." Roxy quickly explained grabbing Sophie's hand and dragging her with them. And Sophie just couldn't stop herself from looking behind her and seeing Eggsy walking behind them.
"Come, Merlin is waiting." Roxy urged Sophie.
"What's so interesting there, anyways?" Roxy asked looking back too.
"Okay..." She trailed off when she made connection that Sophie was looking at Eggsy all the time.
"How about you settle this after the mission?" Roxy said with roll of her eyes, continuing on dragging Sophie.
"There's nothing to settle." Sophie murmured, her eyes sliding to Roxy.
"The looks you both share, tell me otherwise." Roxy sent Eggsy a look while they all were walking to the plane.
"Ther're no looks, Rox." Eggsy cleared his throat and furrowed eyebrows.
None of them had an idea that Merlin heard everything.
"Richards you're with me." Merlin said.
"Right now?" Sophie asked.
Not receiving any answer, Sophie broke free from Roxy's hold and run after Merlin ready to listen to next instructions.
But instead of those she heard different statement:
"Richards, we talked about this. And I really hope that this won't get in a way of this mission."
Sophie looked at him and stopped for a moment.
"Mission? I'm going on a mission? I don't do that anymore, they said I failed. We had a deal." she asked.
"Its time for you to refresh those skills." Merlin said half-absentmindedly.
"So, where back at that square?" Sophie furrowed her brows.
"Skills?" Roxy asked.
"What skills?" Eggsy asked looking at Sophie.
"She used to be brilliant at shooting. Her score used to be the best. But in the last two and half years, there has been no need for shooting from high range." Merlin quickly explained.
'Because, who needs a precise sniper these days, when messy close-ups are far more effective, right?' Sophie thought briefly.
Thinking for a moment she cleared her throat and in monotone voice said:
"Get me high up, I'll do it."
"High up?" Roxy and Eggsy asked at the same time.
"Let's hope that you still have steady hand." Merlin said boarding the plane.
"I never fail with my gun." Sophie glared at him and run up the stairs of the plane.
"Yes, but you're not the only one with the highest score anymore." Merlin yelled after her. Sophie turned to look back.
"Eggsy here, is really precise at shooting too. Same score as you." Merlin explained.
Sophie looked at Eggsy. Was fucking universe laughing about her?
"Match made in Heaven, right?" Roxy blurted out. Sophie, Eggsy and Merlin looked at Roxy.
"Did I say that out loud?" Roxy winced at own mistake.
"Get your arses on the plane, all three of you." Merlin said in annoyance.
"Yes, sir!" he received answer of three youngsters.
