As Eggsy reached out for that umbrella Sophie stood behind them, looking at other guns. Not sure is she even should choose gun for herself.

"Richards." Merlin looked at her.

"What?" she answered absentmindedly, not paying attention to whom she was answering.

"Richards." Merlin asked again to gain girl's attention.

"Yes?" she finally acknowledged him.

"I have something for you." Merlin answered and exited the room.

"Umbrella? Harry would be proud." Sophie mumbled looking at Eggsy as both of them left the room.

"What's that?" Eggsy asked looking at black case on table.

"Why am I looking at it Merlin?" Sophie asked. Her eyes drifted to the little note attached on top of it.

~Sophie Elizabeth Richards~

"And why does it have my name on it?" she pulled off the note.

"Open it. We don't have time. Eggsy. I advise for you to start moving already." Merlin instructed.

"'Right." Eggsy nodded curtly and with Merlin wanted to exit the plane.

"Wait!" Sophie called out before she could open the case. Merlin stopped and looked at her.

"Can I have quick word with him?" she asked quietly. Knowing full well that they had no time, people might die, she had no right as being Kingsman, to ask that kind of request. But she tried anyways.

Merlin squinted at her.

"It won't be long. Few words. Please." Sophie quickly explained.

"One minute." Merlin warned her and turned around to call for Eggsy before he has left.

"What's wrong?" Eggsy looked at her.

"Got your weapons?" Sophie stalled.

"Yeah." Eggsy chuckled.

"Suit intact?" she asked fidgeting with her hands.

"You made it. I am pretty sure, yes." Eggsy smiled.

"I feel this ain't real reason you called me 'ere." Eggsy raised his eyebrows.

"What? Yes, I mean no... Like..." Sophie stumbled on her words. Eggsy chuckled at her.

"Are you 'right?" He asked smiling.

'Stop smiling! Aren't you afraid of dying?' Sophie wanted to scream at him out of desperation.

"Just promise me you'll come back." Sophie whispered. Quickly explaining so that he doesn't get the wrong idea:

"Not that you're not capable of getting all that shit done. I think you're the best that Kingsman has seen in a long time. I am just scared that something will happen and... and... you won't come back to me. And I'll be left alone to rise JB. And I don't want that kind of life for him. He'll be sad and my heart will be teared out if you don't come back through that door alive." Sophie said in one breath.

Eggsy looked at her with pure adoration. He stepped closer to her and putted his hands on her waist.

"What are you doing?" she mumbled.

"Jus' makin' sure you're steady." Eggsy smiled fondly.

"Don't worry. I'll kick them arses and come back in a sec." Eggsy chuckled, making Sophie smile.

"I would kiss you so bad right now, if you would be my girlfriend." Eggsy mumbled under his breath.

"You know we can't." Sophie's demeanor changed and she gently pushed him away. The kiss from earlier was tempting but she had already overstepped her drawn boundaries.

"Just come back, alright?" Sophie looked behind Eggsy, knowing that Merlin was waiting.

"Of course." Eggsy nodded and with a small sigh turned around to leave. For a spilt second Sophie stared at his back and made her stupid decision.

Eggsy was stopped when Sophie wrapped her hands around him from back.

"Please, just come back. I'll somehow survive that we can't be together. But I won't survive if you don't come back alive." She mumbled in his back.

"Just come back to me." She whispered letting out stray tears.

"I promise." Eggsy smiled bitterly and grabbing one of her hands that were tightly wrapped around his chest and pressed it to his lips. Next second her hands left him and she found herself next to case again, looking at the hand he kissed, trying to hide her tears.

"Eggsy!" Merlin called.

"Good luck..." Sophie mumbled as she watched Eggsy leave.

And she wasn't sure if he promised simply to come back or come back to her. Somehow, she was hoping for the latter.

With unpleased sigh she looked at the case and opened it.
