Neil was more awake and already on his second cup of tea that day when he next intruded on the training. He had his shirt sleeves rolled at his elbows and his blazer draped over the back of his chair as he watched through the big windows. The mug of tea cupped in his hands. His waist coat was still buttoned. Today it was a simple wine red to match his blazer and trousers. Outside, he watched as the cadets all jogged passed. Their backs laden with gear heavy backpacks as they marched along.

Eggsy was near the back of the row. Neil sipped his tea as he watched the other man glance up at the windows. Eggsy spotted him through the glass and Neil tapped his temple in a two fingered salute. Eggsy raised an eyebrow as he went past. The expression made Neil snort, which he hurriedly hid behind his mug. Eggsy smirked slightly in triumph at gaining a reaction as he disappeared after the others. The formation jogging round the corner of the building and out of sight of the sitting room. Neil sipped his tea and sighed. The little exchange, nothing more than a few second, replaying in his head. Eggsy annoyed him. Irritated him for some reason beyond Harry's need to recruit lower classes and the rude manner of the young man. He didn't belong here and it grated on Neil.

He drained his mug and stood up. Leaving his blazer in the room with his cup and strolling out through the estate. The kingsman agency house was a large manner, extended with the underground complex. Anyone unfamiliar with the building would get lost pretty quickly but Neil had been here for just over three years now and knew the place like the back of his hand. That was how he managed to get down stairs to Merlin's office in a few minutes. His knuckles rapped on the door and he twisted the handle. "Ah Neil. Were your ears burning?" Merlin remarked as he looked over. "I was just about to summon you".

"Your devil has been summoned", Neil waved his hands and smiled as he strolled forwards. "What for?"

"Harry is just about to meet professor Arnold", Merlin tapped a few keys and a video feed appeared on screen. Harry was walking smoothly up the steps into a old London building. The university where Arnold taught. Neil crossed his arms, anger and grief bubbling in his stomach for a second before he pushed it down.

"I wanted to know when I would be cleared for duty", Neil stated as they watched Harry make his way through the uni on screen. "It has been almost six days since I have returned and yet I am still on babysitting duty". In the bottom right hand corner of the wall screen was another video feed. The cadets all continuing their laps round the estate.

"Do I need to remind you that you coded on the operating table?" Merlin remarked dryly. "And almost bled out from blood loss. when you have fewer than fifty stitches then we will talk. Besides, Arthur is not very pleased with you".

"Arthur is never pleased with me", Neil huffed, trying not to sulk like a teenager.

"True but he's less pleased than usual. So it's better if you continue with your babysitting duty". Merlin gave him a amused smirk as Neil pulled a face and grumbled slightly. He was getting restless. It had been almost a year since he had taken so much time off and it was itching at him. He didn't know what to do. This job was his life and he wasn't quite sure how to occupy his spare time.

On screen, Harry had reached Arnold's lecture room and was waiting patiently. Neil narrowed his eyes at it then sighed and soothed back his hair. The two of them also waiting as they watched the screen. The feed had switched from security cameras to the footage rolling from Harry's glasses. So when the lecture door opened and he turned, the video moved with him. Professor Arnold was a old man with unkempt grey hair and a vaguely scruffy appearance. He strode in a few steps, arms laden with his brief case and some books. He got half way across the room before noting Harry.

"Hello. Can I help you?" His tone was light and curious.

"Yes. I have a question on anthropogenic force".

Arnold chuckled and carried on walking across the room. He set his belongings on his desk. "Oh... really? Well it's really quite fascinating"- his reply was cut off with a gasp as Harry reached out and deftly grabbed him by the ear. Arnold's hands trying to pull his arm away but faltering as his face scrunched up in pain.

"My college died trying to rescue you and you saw how well trained he was, so I suggest you tell me who kidnapped you and why they let you go". Harry's voice was steely and cold but clear as glass. Neil smirked slightly as Arnold struggled. Lancelot had died for that spineless man. He wouldn't lie and say that he didn't enjoy seeing the professor in discomfort.

"I have no idea what you're talking about". A sharp noise rung out as Harry slapped the man across the cheek. Arnold cried out. "I'm not supposed to say it but it was..." then he was screaming.

"Oh for gods sake. I barely touched you", Harry muttered. "Oh man up". Arnold's screams grew louder and then there was light and blackness. The video feed cutting off suddenly.

"What in the bloody blazes was that?" Neil gasped as he stared at the black screen. Merlin was typing quickly on his keyboard. His fingers blurring with speed and the noise of clicking loud.

"I don't know", his tone was annoyed. Merlin didn't like not knowing. "Harry may need support. Go". Neil was already hurrying out the door, one hand pulling his glasses out of his pocket. He didn't need to be told twice.
