two. KINGSMAN
LATER that day, Valerie sat in Harry's office catching up on everything with him. They have been separated for too long and they both hated it. They missed each other every day. Harry see's Valerie as a daughter to him. He had been there for her for fifteen years. And just as Harry see's her as his younger daughter, Valerie see's him as a father.
"Tell me about your mission." Harry speaks. He puts his laptop to the side, folded his hands and puts all of his attention to her.
"Well, it's was pretty difficult for it lasted six months but, I managed to pull though. The man that I was after was name James Hutchison. Even though he was very handsome, he was the bad guy. He — " before she could continue her story, shouting was heard. It was coming from the speakers in Harry's office. "What the bloody hell? Who is that?!" She questions. Harry grabs his laptop, pulls it close to him and listens.
"I want to know the name of the geezer you were with!" The man yelled. Clearly angry and ready to attack whoever he was yelling at.
"I wasn't with no one!" The other cries. Valerie narrowed her eyebrows at that voice. "Eggsy?" She whispered to herself.
"Who was it?!" The angry man continued. Valerie bit her bottom lip in fear for Eggsy. That man sounded very pissed. She was worried he would hurt or do something even worse to Eggsy.
"I don't know what you're fucking on about." Eggsy covers. Not wanting to rat Harry out. Valerie looked over to Harry. She saw that his eyes were glued to his laptop and listening to conversation between the two men.
"Who was it?!" The man sneers, in the background she hears the man hitting Eggsy. Slapping him and punching him and Eggsy groaning at every hit.
"I don't know what you're fucking on about!" Eggsy yells.
"Fucking tell me his name!" The other barks, slapping Eggsy again.
"I don't know what you're fucking on about!" Eggsy repeats, over and over again. Not budging from his lie. Valerie has to admit that she's impressed that Eggsy isn't rating Harry out. No matter how much this man is yelling and hitting him to tell him the truth. Eggsy kept his promise.
"You listen to me!" The man began. "I want to know who you was with in that pub. Do you understand? I want to know his fucking name! Because I swear, I'll rip your head off. Tell me!" He threatens.
"I don't know what you're fucking on about!" Eggsy yells, again. Valerie turned to Harry, "Harry we have to do something!" She speaks. Worried for Eggsy. Worried that the man would actually attack Eggsy but, cause more damage then what he's doing to Eggsy right now.
"Just tell him Eggsy!" A women in the background plead.
"Fuck off, Michelle!" The man spat. "I could kill you right now and no one in the world will notice." The man continued to threaten.
That's when Harry finally spoke up, "but I would." He states. "I have enough evidence on your activities to have you locked up for the rest of your life. Mr. Dean Anthony Baker." Harry says.
"What the fuck?" The man, who Valerie figured out his name is Dean, questioned. Confused and obviously spooked out.
"So, I suggest you leave the boy alone or I shall be forced to deliver it to the appropriate authorities." Harry adds. Valerie sat besides him and smiled. When they heard Dean drop his weapon, Harry spoke again. "Eggsy met me in the trailer I told you about." He orders. Valerie lets a sigh out. Relief that Eggsy is fine.
"That was very intensed." Valerie spoke, clearing the silence. Harry chuckles and closes his laptop.
"Very much." He said.
"So, what do you plan on doing with Eggsy once he gets here?" She asked. Harry got up from his seat, slid his blazer on and button it.
"I plan on making him a kingsman." He answers. Then, they both left his officer and into the main lounge of the tailor shop. They sat down on the sofas there and awaited for Eggsy arrival.
While they waited, Harry told her everything that happened. Keeping her to date on the mission he's been working on, the agents that had died and the new people who's becoming kingsman and how a girl name Roxy is doing very well so far.
"I have to met her. She sounds splendid." Valerie states.
Just then, the bell sounded to indicate that someone entered the shop. There attention turn to the front door and Eggsy stood there. "I've never met a tailor before. But I know y'all ain't one." He says. They both chuckled at his comment and stood up from their seat.
"Come with me." Harry orders. Eggsy glances at Valerie, a bit confused. Valerie just flashes a kind smile and mouths to follow Harry. They all walked into a dressing room and stood in front of a mirror.
"What do you see?" Harry asked.
"Someone who wants to know what the fuck is going on." Eggsy replies. Which made Valerie laugh a little at Eggsy's ridiculous comment.
"I see a young man with potential. A young man who is loyal. Who can do as he's asked. And who wants to do something good with his life." Harry compliments. Valerie smiled at Harry statement. He was right. You can tell that he's a loyal man. He kept his promise with Harry. "Did you see the film, Trading Places?" Harry asked, looking at Eggsy through the mirror.
Eggsy shook his head, "no."
"How about Nikita?" Harry quizzed but, Eggsy shook his head no. "Pretty women?" He continued but, Eggsy still didn't know the films.
"It's like you've been living under a rock." Valerie jokes.
"All right. My point is, that the lack of a silver spoon has set you on a certain path but, you needn't stay on it." He suggested. "If you're prepare to adapt and learn, you can transform."
"Like in My Fair Lady." Eggsy comments. Valerie raised her eyebrow at Eggsy's suggested movie while a soft chuckle escaped Harry's lips.
"Well, you are full of surprises." Harry says. "Yes, like in My Fair Lady. Only in this case, I'm offering you the opportunity to become a Kingsman." He adds.
"A tailor?" Eggsy questioned, not sounding impressed or interested.
"A Kingsman agent." Valerie simplifies.
"Like a spy?" He asked.
"Of sorts." Valerie says. She tilted her head to the side, "interested?" She questioned, as they made eye contact through the mirror.
"You think I've got anything to lose?" He said. Valerie shrugs and drops her hands to her sides. She moved closer to the mirror and placed her hand on the glass. Underneath, a light shined as it took in her hand imprint. Suddenly, the dressing room began to move down as if it was an elevator. "Since 1849, Kingsman tailor have clothed the worlds most powerful individuals. By 1919, a great number of them had lost their heirs to World War One. That meant a lot of money went un-inherited. And a lot of powerful men with a desire to preserve peace and protect life. Our founders realized that they could channel the wealth and influence for the greater good." Harry began to explain the history of Kingsman so Eggsy can get an idea of what it is. Valerie just stood there with her arms crossed and listening to their conversation. "And so began our venture. An independent, international intelligent agency operating at the highest level of discretion. Above the politics and bureaucracy, that undermine the integrity of government - run spy organization. The suit is a modern gentleman's armor. And the Kingsman agent are the new knights." He finished. Valerie was impressed by his speech. Even though it was long and tiring to listen too.
"How deep does this fucking thing go?" Eggsy asked, looking around the moving dressing room.
"Deep enough." Valerie replies. Soon, the elevator stopped. As they got off the elevator, Harry and Valerie got into the pod that awaited for them. Eggsy stood out there, hesitant. "Come in." Valerie orders, motioning her head for Eggsy to come in.
Valerie pressed the button that closed the door. Once it closed, it began to move at a quick speed. It traveled underground quietly.
"How long have you've been working with Kingsman?" Eggsy questioned to Valerie.
"When I was ten, Harry helped me trained and such. At the age of sixteen, I got the position of agent Percival and weeks later, I got my first mini-mission." Valerie answers. Eggsy planned on asking more questions but, the doors of the pod opened. Eggsy hated the fact that he couldn't get to know Valerie more better. He's always chatting with Harry. If it wasn't obvious, he found her attractive. But, he felt that he would never get a chance with her. She's an agent. She's been one for quiet a long time. He thinks that she may have high standards and that he'd never reach them.
"Shit, we're late." Harry states. They exit the pod and quickly made their way down the halls.
Eggsy looked around the base with amazement. "You're father had the same look." Harry comments. "As did I."
They continued to walk down the halls. A few agents passed them either going to training or going on a mission.
"Galahad." Merlin calls.
"That's his code name." Valerie whispered to Eggsy. She then turned over and was engulfed in a hug by Merlin. "I missed you, love." He says. She smiled and hugged him back.
"Missed you too." She said.
"Also, you're late again, sir." Merlin adds.
"Harry, go to your meeting. I'll go with Merlin so we can take Eggsy to his training." Valerie suggested. Harry nods, kisses Valerie cheek and enters the conference room. Valerie then turned to face Eggsy. "Follow us." She orders. He nods and does as she says. Merlin walked ahead why the other two stayed behind.
"So, how old are you?" Eggsy asked.
"Twenty one." She answers. Not saying anything more. Once again, Eggsy couldn't continue the conversation. For they have arrived to their destination when he saw Merlin opening the door. "Good luck." She smiles, pushing him into the room with the other newbies.
