Secret

Heading Home

*The Next Day*

Merlin, Harry, Eggsy, and I step off the elevator at the Statesman headquarters, making our way to the boardroom.

"Once this meeting is over, we can finally go home," I give Eggsy's hand a squeeze; he hasn't let go of my hand since we got off the plane. "Harry, it's been a long time since you've been home."

"It has been," Harry says. "You say my house was destroyed, but I think it would be best to start new even if it wasn't."

"That's what today is, the start of a new chapter in our lives, and for Kingsman," Eggsy speaks up.

"Building from the ground up," Merlin places a hand on the door to the boardroom. "Together we can do it."

The four of us step into the boardroom, and the first thing I spot is a healthy Tequila standing by the table.

"Tequila!" I blurt out, pulling my hand out of Eggsy's so I can rush over to the first Statesman we ever met.

"Ah, it's good to see you too, little lady," Tequila catches me in his arms, lifting me off the ground. A bit smile on his face.

"I was so worried when I heard you had the blue rash."

"It was my fault. I shouldn't have taken the drugs," he places me back on the floor, and we break our hug.

"No, it was that crazy bitch Poppy's fault," I take a step back from the man. "just, be more careful now."

"Of course, I'll be better now," he grins.

I jump as an arm snakes around my middle, pulling me into the side of a strong man.

"You would have been great out on the field," Eggsy's voice fills my ears as he gives my hip a squeeze. "Just wouldn't have to fight us, but with us."

"Shut up, Eggsy," I roll my eyes. "He said he was sorry for kicking your ass."

Tequila and I burst into laughs.

"Not funny, darling," Eggsy begins pulling me farther into the room. "Not okay."

"I'm just teasing," I giggle. "You know I love you the most."

"Welcome back, all of you," Ginger smiles as the four of us Kingsman stand at one end of the conference table with her.

"I first want to say how sorry I am that Whiskey went after you," Champagne speaks up. "He took his past and was able to use what Poppy was doing to try and get his own agenda done." He's sitting at the head of the table opposite of us with Tequila to his right.

"He wasn't connected to the Golden Circle, so it would have been hard to know," Harry sounds quite professional. "He was taken care of."

"While the four of you were out on the field, I was able to buy a distillery over in London, and I've made Kingsman our legal partners. I got in contact with Agent Lancelot, and now Statesman is helping with all the rebuilding that needs to be done."

"Ah, thank you so much," I blurt out. "That means a lot to me at least."

"Well, it's good to know the little lady is happy," Tequila grins.

"You'll all be going home tomorrow," Ginger speaks up. "But you're always welcome back.

"Is there any other business that needs to be taken care of?" Eggsy slips his hand into the back pocket of my jeans.
