Chapter Ten-

The moment he shouted, "You know what I want!", I kinda maybe freaked out.

Well, I mean, I was already kinda freaked out when he showed up in the movie theatre, and decided to sit beside me. That is, after I realized who he was. I wasn't stupid. He could sign as many autographs as he wanted, take as many selfies with his fans as he pleased, but I knew it was just a ruse. Even the bodyguards were probably fake.

I didn't know why he was chasing me. Not the faintest idea. Not the slightest clue.

And then it occurs to me that it might have to do with the medal.

But by then it's too late, and I feel my stomach lurch into my throat as my toe catches something as I leap from the roof. My hands shoot out to find some kind of ledge to hold on to, anything to slow or stop my descent. A window ledge flashes past my vision, and my hands grasp for purchase. Pain shoots through my arms, and for a moment, time seems to slow.

And then I'm falling again, wind whistling past my ears.

Bend your knees.

Roll to absorb impact.

Lessons from years and years of combat and gymnastics training force themselves into my head. The ground is speeding towards me. I brace myself for the impact.

I am going to die.

And then I slam onto the asphalt, screaming from the pain that shoots through my knees. I try to roll. The pain spreads up my legs, causing my vision to flash black and white. I crumple to the ground, curling up into a protective ball.

I breathe heavily, heart pounding. I hear someone running towards me. I have the vague sense of strong arms wrapping around me and being lifted, and then I'm looking into a pair of intense green eyes, wide with concern.

"Fucking hell," Eggsy mutters. I can barely see him, let alone reply. There' s too much pain. That's the last thing I hear before the world fades to black.

The only thing on Eggsy's mind when Jade passes out in his arms is to get her to the hospital, and to get her there fast. But he doesn't know where the nearest hospital is, and he has no way of finding out. He isn't wearing his Kingsman glasses- it wouldn't make sense for his alias.

He needs to get his bearings. And then he realizes that they're a block away from a Kingsman tube entrance. He ignores the strange looks people give him as he runs past with the girl slung over his shoulder.

He hurries into the entrance of a sketchy looking alley, leaping over an enormous pile of cardboard boxes. He glances around quickly, double checking that nobody's around.

Pulling open a small trapdoor disguised in the ground, he bolts down a long staircase, shutting the door behind him. The secret passage dead-ends at a bullet-proof wall. There is a tiny keypad on the right, and he hastily dials a ten-digit code. The keypad lets out a little beep, and a biometric scanner slides into place.
Green light illuminates Eggsy's features as the device scans his handprint. The door glides open, revealing the subway tube that will take him to Kingsman HQ.

He gently arranges Jade on the seat across from him, sweat trickling down his forehead. She's still out cold, slumped forwards. He takes the opportunity to review her injuries- her left ankle is definitely twisted, and he's pretty sure she's broken- maybe even shattered- some bones in her other leg as well. After all, it takes some serious skill and agility to survive a three story fall…

Soon enough, they arrive at HQ, and Eggsy gathers her in his arms, steps out the doors and marches towards the infirmary.

"Eggsy!" Roxy calls. She takes one look at the girl in his arms and pales. "Is that her?"

"Yes Rox. She fell off a three story building, I need to-"

"Wait, wait, no, don't go in there, her mu-" she starts, grabbing his arm.

"No, it's all my fault," he cuts her off with a stern look, shaking her off.

"No Eggsy-"

He ignores her and rounds the corner.

So far, Eggsy isn't too worried about Jade being in HQ- if she did happen to realize where she was, they could always shoot her with an amnesia dart again, or even possibly… recruit her. The thought makes Eggsy smile. He gazes at her closed eyes as he makes for the infirmary wing, blowing a delicate strand of hair out of her oval face. She looks younger, and so much more peaceful like this. She was deathly clever, and extremely agile. He certainly wouldn't mind having Jade around. No, he definitely didn't worry about her being in HQ.

That is, of course, until a familiar figure approaches them. The woman gives Eggsy a grin when she sees him. But then her eyes drift towards the figure draped in Eggsy's arms and her expression turns from friendly to confused to surprised to outright shocked to furious in mere seconds.

And she does not look happy.
