Here we are, the final chapter! Sorry it took so long, with Mother's Day and the fact that all my Chicago teams were in the playoffs, I was pretty busy. Then I started to lose interest and thankfully Julianmarq updated his awesome fic and that sucked me back in.
Hopefully the slight twist I wrote in here was properly set up in the previous chapters. Lol. Thank you to everyone that reviewed as well, means a lot to me! I might actually write my one shot as well. Glad to know that there are some EggsyxRoxy shippers out there.
Eggsy dropped Roxy off at the apartment. She sighed in relief. "It's over. Let's just grab the tapes and get out of here."
"Actually, I'll be back in an hour. Gotta do something."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"Naw," Eggsy gave her a kiss. "I'll be quick."
"I'll be waiting," smiled Roxy before exiting the car and entering the apartment.
Once she was safely inside, Eggsy checked his car for trackers. Finding one, he pitched it across the street. Speeding off to his warehouse, he made two laps before parking out back. Checking to make sure that no one was around, he sprinted into the warehouse and up the steps. On the fifth floor landing, he grasped behind a pipe. Feeling the box, he slowly pulled it out and opened it. All his tapes were still there.
Before Eggsy could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the warehouse door squeak open. He was not alone, nor was the intruder trying to be discreet. Eggsy could hear them pounding up the stairs, probably looking for him. A look of confusion showed on his face when he turned around.
"Drop your guns."
"Honey," Eggsy said questioningly. "I thought I told you to stay at home?"
"Now!" cried Roxy, shooting at the wall behind him.
"Jesus!" Eggsy dropped his guns. A wave of terror washed over him. Did Roxy betray Kingsman like Arthur did? He gun was trained on him and he had too much respect for her skills to believe he had a chance of taking her when she already had the advantage. So he did the only thing he could think of. He dumped the tapes over the stairwell.
"Galahad!" she cried. "What the fuck?!"
"What the fuck to you!" cried out Eggsy as he started to descend down the stairs. "I fucking love you. How could you do this to me?"
"Shut up. Basciger is on his way up." Eggsy wasn't sure if the betrayal hurt more or if it was the lack of feeling in which Roxy regarded him now.
Looking over her shoulder, he saw Basciger climbing up the stairs. He was putting on the silencer attachment to his gun. "Hello Simon," sighed Eggsy. "You know, this smelled like a set up from the beginning. The way you insisted on seeing my wife. The way she pushed her way in. So how long has she been on your payroll?"
"Long enough," smirked Basciger. "Hello baby." He winked at Roxy. She smiled in return. Eggsy wanted to throw up. "Need some back up?"
"I'm fine," stated Roxy. Boris and Ray yanked Eggsy out of her grip anyways.
Shoving his gun under Eggsy's chin, he tilted Eggsy's head upward. Eggsy made it a point to maintain eye contact, glaring the entire time at Basciger. "You are," Simon searched for the right word. "...an annoying, irritating, pain in the ass. We've torn this place apart, we've searched your car and apartment and still couldn't find the tapes." He lightly smacked Eggsy with the gun. "Ray, get the rest of the tapes." Shoving Eggsy up the stairs, he muttered, "Come on."
They dragged Eggsy to the top floor of the warehouse. He broke out in a cold sweat after realizing what happened there just last week. He contemplated his options. He still had his Kingsman watch and ring. He didn't know why Roxy didn't tell tell them to take the gadgets, but perhaps it was out of fear of having to explain Kingsman. Or maybe she was just too wrapped up in Basciger's evil plan to notice. Regardless, he couldn't think of how he could use them to escape alive. He'd have to be patient and wait for his opening. Too bad that wasn't his strongest trait. All he knew was that if he was going out, he was sure as hell going to take as many out with him. He would wait until Ray came back, then he'll give it a go. He needed to buy time. "You think you'll get rid of me that easily? You think I didn't make backups?"
Basciger ignored him and had his henchmen pull out a plastic tarp and tie Eggsy to a chair in the center of it. Fuck! Did I miss my opening?
Grabbing Eggsy's face, he glared at him. "You didn't make any copies of those tapes."
Eggsy grinned before hawking a big loogey at Basciger, earning himself a right hook to the face. Eggsy spat out blood. No regrets. Actually one regret; he should've worn his fucking glasses.
"I know you pretty well, Taron. I have a tape of my own. I want you to hear it. Boris, play it."
Eggsy could recognize his own voice. It was the guy who took out the contract on Basciger. I walked right up to him and I shot him. He didn't know what hit him. Roxy had her gun trained on him and he made sure to look right at her during the play back. He could feel the heat of tears forming in the back of his eyes, but he pushed them back. Her eyes showed that she saw all the hurt, fear and anger he had in his. It's over. It's all over. Simon and his men chuckled.
Roxy's voice came on the recording. You didn't have a choice right? They would've killed you if you didn't.
"Awww. She's very good, isn't she?" sneered Basciger.
"Yeah, she is." He still didn't break eye contact with Roxy.
"See Taron, it's all part of the recruitment process. I was gonna offer you a job, just like her. Very very decent money. But I just like her better. I've always been such a sucker for brunettes. -Oh wait, here's my favorite part."
It was Eggsy's voice again. But then I'd have the element of surprise on my side and I'd use it to put away bastards like Basciger.
"Look how that "element of surprise" worked out for you? Not to mention that little insult you threw in there. That's not a very nice thing to say. I just can't let that just go by." He shoved the gun in Eggsy's face. Eggsy closed his eyes and thought back to his training. Is Kingsman worth dying for? HELL YES.
Basciger's words pulled him out of his memory. "You think I'm gonna let people say shit like that to me? Huh?! Got to make an example of you, Taron." Ray came back into the room to circle around behind Eggsy.
A look of confusion crossed Eggsy's face. Why was Basciger still calling him "Taron?" If Roxy told him about him being undercover, she would've use his real name. Glancing at Roxy, she gave him a smirk and a subtle wink. Something clicked in Eggsy mind as Simon put his gun to Eggsy's forehead and cocked it.
"Galahad, now!" cried Roxy as she shot Basciger's hand, causing the bullet to go wide.
Reaching up, Eggsy electrocuted Ray who had came up behind him to hold him down into the chair. The electricity when right through his head, knocking him out cold. Rocking forward to gain momentum, Eggsy pushed off the floor and flung himself backwards, slamming his chair onto ground, breaking it and freeing himself. Springing to his feet, he fired his watch at Boris. Shooting was awkward with his hands tied behind his back, but he manage to get the needle to pierce through Boris' thigh. It didn't matter to Eggsy that he was aiming for his neck, a hit was a hit. As Boris raised his gun to aim, the tranquilizer did it's part, taking Boris out of the fight.
Looking towards the exit, he saw Roxy in a melee battle with Basciger and a few of his men. She was putting up a good fight, but Eggsy knew that she couldn't win with those numbers against her. "Oh fuck this," cried out Basciger in annoyance. "Someone just fucking shoot her."
Tackling the first henchman to reach for his gun, Eggsy tumbled with him to the floor. Rolling backwards and up to his feet while doing a sweeping kick to unbalance another thug, he sprinted through the warehouse doors and into his office with Roxy in tow. Gun shots followed them into the warehouse office, the glass no match for the bullets. Shards of glass rained from above them as well as dust and cardboard from the boxes the bullets pierced through. Sounds of men coming up the stairwell as well as Basciger's shriek of anger made them realize that they were surrounded.
Crouching behind the lone desk in the office, Roxy cut Eggsy's bonds. Rubbing his wrists, Eggsy stated, "I'm glad you didn't betray us, Rox."
She frowned at him. "I'm insulted that you thought I would."
Before Eggsy could apologize, another round of bullets came at them, ripping through the desk and causing Eggsy and Roxy to retreat to different ends of the office. Sliding a gun to Eggsy, they returned fire, though none of their bullets found purchase. 18 shots later and his gun clicked empty. He heard Roxy's do the same.
Meanwhile, Basciger's gang stood about 30 ft away, relatively unharmed and armed to the teeth. "We got you!" yelled Basciger. "There's no way you are getting out of there alive."
Siren's wailed in the distance. "The police are coming! They must've heard the shots!"
"Never 'ad I been so 'appy to see law enforcement." Eggsy risked a glance at the responding officers. His eyes widened as he recognized them. "Shite! It's the ones from Jimmy's place! Is everyone on Basciger's payroll!?"
Roxy rolled her eyes. "You know it's really not that hard. That guy wants to employ everyone. He thinks that the more on his team, the less likely he'll be put away."
They had to duck behind cover once Basciger's men decided to go all out. Bullets flew across the room, sending shards of glass and chucks of metal all around.
"Goddammit!" cried out Eggsy when the bullet him his arm. He swore through gritted teeth. "Same fuckin' spot as last time."
"Eggsy!" Roxy cried out for him. Her side of the room was getting blown to bits and it as all she could do to not get hit by falling debris.
Eggsy crawled over to her and shielded her with his body. "You still got my back?" Roxy nodded. "I still have yours." He kissed her deeply, both of them knowing that anyone of these bullets could be the one that ends them.
The firing stopped as Basciger's men clicked empty. Before they could reload, the lower warehouse door open. "This is the FBI. We have the place surrounded!"
Basciger's dirty cop shouted back. "This is the police, we have two murderers inside-"
They didn't let him finish. "Put down your weapons." As the FBI surrounded them, Basciger did as he was told.
"Ah, Simon Basciger," strode in Merlin. "Are you assisting the police, or are they assisting you?"
"I'm defending myself against a killer," retorted Simon, nodding in Eggsy's direction. He showed his bloodied hand. "I've been shot."
Merlin turned to the office. "Lancelot, are you ok?
"I'm ok Merlin, Galahad needs an ambulance."
"Good job you two."
Merlin de-briefed them while a paramedic looked at Eggsy's arm.
"Took you long enough," stated Eggsy. "Better late than never though."
"Kind of hard to find you when neither of you guys have on your glasses." He handed them the tapes. "I found these in the stairwell."
"The best stuff is on 'ere," Eggsy dropped his American accent as he popped off the handle of his ankle revolver. Turning toward Basciger, he stated smugly, "See Simon? You checked the wrong gun."
"Agent," Basciger didn't know exactly what to call Merlin. "This man is a murder and I have the tapes to prove it."
"Oh, you mean this tape?" Roxy crushed it in her hand. "What tape?"
Striding over to Basciger, Eggsy placed back his revolver recorder. "'ere's my favorite part."
Basciger's eyes widened when he heard his voice. I had to make an example out of them!
"All recorded on a microchip about the size of a bloody postage stamp." Eggsy smirked as Basciger was escorted to the squad car before handing the recorder to Merlin. He left the two younger agents alone.
"Roxy, why didn't you tell me? I was so scared that I 'ad actually lost you."
She smiled sadly at him. "Same reason why you wouldn't have told me."
"I thought you actually betrayed Kingsman. I'm sorry, I should've never doubted you. Just wit the whole Arthur thing, it just kinda stayed in the back of my 'ead."
"It's ok, I would've thought the same thing. I'm sorry." She turned towards him. "Though, if you had any doubts, how come you dove across the floor to save me?"
"'cause I thought it was all over an I wanted to kiss you goodbye. 'sides," he smirked and nudged her arm. "I said I always 'ad your back and I always will."
Roxy smiled before kissing him softly.
"Soooooo, 'bout that marriage proposal the other night?" He winked smugly at her.
Roxy couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, shove off!" She playfully smacked his arm and then inspected the ring on her hand. "But I am rather attached to this ring...and the man that comes with it."
Eggsy grinned back. "You know, we should do more undercover missions together. You could be a nurse and I could be your patient...or maybe I'll be a teacher and you be my student..."
Throwing up her arms, Roxy exclaimed, "You're impossible!" but didn't resist when he lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Andddd finished! Hope you liked it! Also if there are any random letters or numbers thrown in here that I haven't caught, I just got a kitten (another reason why my updating sucked!) and he was constantly walking on the keyboard.
Let me know if this ending worked for you or if you wanted it to go a different way. All the chapters kept getting shorter and shorter. :[
As for the one shot I mentioned a few times, not sure if it is going to happen, but I appreciate the support you guys have shown for it!
