ch. XXXIII -- Tell me, G.


Stepping over all dead bodies that Eggsy had left behind him, Sophie made her way back to the main hall. Careful, not to engage in close combat. Since it was her weak spot, she took out all the guards from afar, using her snipper abilities and steady hand to make clear yet lethal shots. Slowly making her way across one of the empty halls, Sophie heard in her earpiece:

"Richards?" Merlin asked.

"Yes, sir?" Sophie peered around the corner.

"Eggsy wants to talk." Merlin said. As far as Sophie understood from Merlin's tone, something wasn't right.

"Okay. Let him through." Sophie said, since she was only connected to Merlin.

"Hey... Richards." Eggsy said out of breath.

"What is it Unwin?" Sophie asked making her way through the next turn only to realize that it was packed with guards.

"I'm stuck." Eggsy answered quickly.

"Fuck..." she hissed looking at her guns and realizing that she'll be out off rounds if she tries to take them out. Hiding back behind a wall she sighted.

"What's wrong?" Eggsy asked feeling her distress. It was ironic - he was the one that called, obviously, having a problem, but here HE was asking if SHE was alright.

"Same here, Unwin." Sophie peeked again and started to rearrange her guns.

"Richards..." Eggsy started breathlessly. Sophie froze at that tone.

"We'll get out of here. You promised." Sophie shook her head at nothing.

"I'm surrounded. There is no way." Eggsy explained.

"Don't you dare to tell me that you're not coming back, Unwin!" Sophie hissed, trying to rid her eyes of tears, that suddenly appeared.

"I..." Eggsy started.

"Think, use that brain of yours." Sophie whined not expecting this defeat. Next moment Eggsy could hear shots. Not around him, but around Sophie.

"Are you a'ight?" Eggsy panicked.

"Yes." Sophie said, aiming and killing a few guards. But the answer wasn't received because bullet flew right next to her ear, lightly scrapping her earpiece. Sophie didn't hear anything from Eggsy.

"Unwin?" She asked. Nothing.

"Fuck!" She exclaimed and hid behind a wall. So, this was it for her? Hearing an exploding sound, Sophie peeked around the corner and looked how all the guards' heads blew up in rainbow colour.

"What the..." She murmured and started to run down now empty corridor. Coming to next junction, she heard gun being reloaded behind her. She swiftly turned around and saw Eggsy who had gun raised at her.

"It's me, you idiot!" Sophie exclaimed raising her head to quickly pull off her mask and glasses. Now, when both items were around her neck, Eggsy lowered his gun. Taking a step closer to her, Sophie looked in his eyes.

"Thank God, you're alive!" She said and swiftly stepped closer to hug him.

"Richards, I..." Eggsy tried to talk. Why did he felt such a strong need to make sure she was okay? Ignoring the promise, he made to some Swedish princess:

"You're bleedin'." Eggsy said motioning to her right ear.

"I'm fine." Sophie shrugged catching his wrist before he could touch her. Feeling the spark shot through her whole body, setting her aflame. Interwinding her hand with his, Sophie pilled him along saying:

"We need to keep moving."

Eggsy nodded and followed just to be stopped by Sophie for a second.

"What did you want to tell me, G.?" Sophie asked in small voice, grabbing Eggsy's face in both of her hands.

"G.?" Eggsy mouthed at her, his eyebrows raising. Sophie only smiled bashfully and nodded.

She knows my name? Eggsy wandered.

"I..." Eggsy was rummaging his mind to find what to tell her. Without self-restraint Sophie leaned across to him. But before she could do anything, there was banging coming from one of the cells. Thus making Eggsy pull back from her. Sophie looked at the doors then at Eggsy who was staring at them.

"Fine." She thought stepping back from him and pulling her hand out of his. She clearly wasn't stupid, something had happened.

Eggsy's head snapped at her:

"Richards..." Eggsy started. If there was something, then Sophie didn't want to know. Not now. She briskly walked away from him, pulling off her mask from around her neck and inspecting the ear piece.

"Hey... Rich--" Eggsy caught up with her.

"You know what?" She turned to him, "Fuck off, Unwin!" She spat and putted on her mask. Also, quickly putting on her glasses, she hid her teary eyes. And the she started running down the corridor to finally be done with this mission.

She knew that this would happen.
