I'm walking around the street I haven't been for a long time. No one knows what my name is or who I am. That what makes the atmosphere here great. It makes me forget my new life for a while. Not that I don't like it. I freaking love it. Sometimes I just need a break. Life of a street boy was fun, yet it was lost until I met Harry.

I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. My mother is in the safe place with the better life. I just can't be with her right now.

So many people I have left. So many things to do.

"What are you doing here, mister?"

I'm feeling a bit startled. I try to play it cool anyway. I just open my eyes to see Roxy makes a question mark and judging eyes on her face.

I clear my throat to answer her, hoping my voice would be cool, like a spy in old movies, you know. "Just... taking a break."
She doesn't question me further. Just simply nodding.
"What are you doing here, Roxy?"
"I was taking my dog to the vet."
"What's wrong with him?"
"Smiley is sick. I don't know much about puppies. Who'd have thought we'd be so bounded to the dogs because of Kingsman?"
I smile a little, thinking of JB who once made me lose the status of Kingsman agent. I don't regret my decision that day anyway. It makes me who I am today. I am still Eggsy Unwin. That flawed boy.
"I don't think we have that much of task. You said you came here to take a break?"
"I miss my old life." I look around the street, not sure why I don't want to meet her eyes. "Not that I regret being a Kingsman. I just want to clear my head a little."
"Eggsy. What happened to that boy?" She seems to question my words. "The boy who is lively and optimistic no matter what happens. I need to see him."
"I'm still me." I turn my face to look at her. "I need to sort things out once in a while. Being alone just brings many memories to me. "
"You have me." Her eyes are intense. "We are always together. Remember that?"
I nod. Yes, of course I do. I remember that since the first day I have met her.
She grabs my hand, dragging me across the street. "Come on. Let's get you some food."

Of course, it's McDonald's.

"I didn't know you like this." I can't help raising my eyebrows with the picture I'm seeing; Roxy with the Big Mac. This is not really Roxy-ish. I was really hoping she'd go to posh restaurant, like where the ladies always go.
"There're so many things you don't know about me." She seems to enjoy what she's eating more than me who is sitting opposite of her.
"Like the name Smiley?"
She swallows slowly, then looking at me. "I love spies."
"I believe you do." I laugh a little. "Why not James Bond?"
"Smiley's got flaws. I mean palpable ones."
"So you don't like James Bond because he is perfect?"
"Who said he's perfect?" She shakes her head a little. "He's got some flaws either. James Bond is my fantasy. I just think that George Smiley can be my sidekick."
"I can be your sidekick, too." I stare into her eyes, hoping she sees sincerity in mine.
"Yes, you are." She says after looking at me for a little while. "You have always been."
"I've always got your back."
"I'm aware of that quite clearly." She nods. "You proved it during the training."

The parachute sessions. The picture of that day flashes in my head.

So she remembers everything. My protective instinct seems to benefit me this time.

Roxy can be tough. I don't know why the girl who's in McDonald's with me is looking so sweet and completely harmless today.

I just simply watch Roxy finishes her Big Mac. So many things I don't know about her indeed.

Since I'm going to work with her side by side, it'd be the best getting to know this girl.
