ch. XIV -- Daddy's dead


Back in her room she putted on alarm and snuggled in her bed with JB. Couple of times laughing out loud about her stupidity and everything that had just happened in the last hour and a half.

'This is bizarre.'




5:30 AM

Her alarm clock beeped angrily and was waiting when someone will turn it off.

With a tired yawn she shut it off and fell back on her pillows with JB jumping around her.

"Miss your dad, boy?" Sophie looked at the pup and smiled tiredly. In an answer she received a happy bark.

"Just gimme a second." Sophie stretched and pulled her hair in ponytail. Grabbing her satin robe for second time that night, she left her room with JB.

"And I forgot my slippers again..." Sophie mumbled while walking down the last corridor.

She silently crept up to the big door and carefully opened them and took a peek in. Thank God everyone was sleeping; at least that's how it looked like.

'I just really hope that none of them have some crazy reflexes and no one tries to kill me.' Sophie though as she walked to Eggsy's bed where he was sleeping. Gently putting JB near him, Sophie petted the pup one last time.

"So you did bring 'im back." Eggsy mumbled not even moving from his spot. With small yelp Sophie jumped back from his bed. Eggsy sat up and with finger to his lips shushed Sophie, trying not to laugh at her.

"Go back to sleep." Sophie hissed at him still clutching her frightened heart.

"Everyone's gonna wake up in like 20 minutes, there's no use." Eggsy said glancing at the clock.

"Then I should get going befo--" Sophie whispered when a light near some bed turned on.

"The hell she's doing here?" Charlie asked loudly. Making some others to rise from their slumber.

"Fuck me..." Sophie cursed under her breath.

'Think of something!' Sophie screamed in her head.

"Shit, Merlin won't be happy..." was the only thing she could mumble, enough for Eggsy to hear.

Now the room was a lot lighter, making Sophie pull down on the hem of her robe as if it was feeling shorter than usual.

"I'm just here to tell that Merlin will be here in twenty minutes." Sophie cleared her throat and said louder.

"Bullshit!" Rufus snickered.

"No, actually she's right, Merlin will come wake us up in like twenty minutes." Roxy shot back. Sophie sent her way appreciated smile.

"That doesn't explain what she was doing near that pleb's bed." Charlie pointed at Sophie. Eggsy grabbed a pillow and wanted to throw it at Charlie, but Sophie putted her hand on his chest and held him back.

"Don't get thrown out, you have training to finish." Sophie silently hissed at Eggsy.

"What I'm doing here is clearly none of your business." Sophie turned to look at Charlie, her hand still on Eggsy.

"Oh, look at that guys! His little girlfriend has a leash on him." Charlie laughed.

"Fucking dickhead!" Eggsy shouted at him and Sophie needed push at him back again.

"Shut up, Charlie." Roxy pointed at him.

"What are you going to do about it?" Charlie got up from his bed. Roxy didn't move or say anything.

"That's what I thought." Charlie snickered.

"The fuck is wrong with you?!" Sophie suddenly was standing opposite him. Making Eggsy stand from his bed too. Half afraid that she might get hurt.

"Just because you bought your way into here, does not mean you need to be a dick about it!" Sophie spat. Doors to the quarters opened but no one minded to pay attention to it, because the heated argument was far more interesting.

"An orphan like you knows how to talk about it, don't you?" Charlie laughed sarcastically in her face.

'What... How did he know that?' That information is classified and off the records for her own good.

"Daddy's dead and now you're here." Charlie didn't stop. Without any thought Sophie raised her hand and slapped Charlie hard across his stupid face.

"Richards! Stand down." Came order from doors. Sophie swiftly looked in that direction only to be met with look of disapproval from Merlin. At his voice everyone stood in line.

Sophie felt stupid, let down and hurt most of all. She quickly looked around the room, her eyes looking at Eggsy. All he saw behind her eyes is how she crumpled.

"You had a strict order not to interact with any of them." Merlin reminded. Sophie nodded defeatedly and wanted to leave but Merlin's voice stopped her once more:

"Do not make me take away your position."

And damn, did she wanted to spit back something snarky.

"Don't even think about it." Merlin warned her.

"I am not one of your agents. I do not follow those orders, that was the deal." Sophie hissed and pointed at Merlin.

Merlin looked up at trainees:

"Field in ten."

Grabbing Sophie's hand and dragging her out of the quarters Merlin pulled her away, girl unwillingly following him.

When the doors were shut, Eggsy mumbled:

"Dickhead."
