Eggsy made sure he was the first one up the next day. After he had gotten up, moving, and dressed, he tapped Fox's shoulder. Only to nearly have his finger broken.
"Easy Fox! You nearly ripped my finger off." He said with a quiet chuckle. He watched as Fox slowly came to. "Morning Fox." He said.

"Eggsy, why the hell are you getting me up at," she shot a look at the clock on the microwave, "8 AM?" I asked.

"Because we have a laptop to steal. C'mon, get dressed." He said. Fox nodded and wandered over to her room, making sure to not wake Roxy who was solidly passed out on her bed. Fox darted around and got dressed fast. She nodded to Eggsy when she came out and he rabbled the dogs. The duo left the flat and hit the streets, constantly watching each other's six.

"You don't suppose that there's a place to find a cheap laptop around would there?" Fox found herself asking. To blend in, Eggsy through his arm around Fox and found himself surprisingly not getting murdered at the gesture.

"Sadly Fox, I don't have any clue." He said. They walked into a second hand electronic store and strolled around, looking at the quality of the laptops and which one was least likely to crash on them. They found a Mac that was still in pretty good shape and tried to find a blind spot in the cameras.

"This is a bloody electronics shop, we're not gonna make it out of this with a laptop without getting caught." Fox muttered in Eggsy's ear.

"Relax Fox, I've got an idea." Eggsy said. But before he could elaborate, there was a strange noise that had been pissing Fox off.

"Are we getting followed by a ticking noise or is that just my overactive imagination?" Fox asked. Eggsy listened for it and sure enough he heard it.

"Shit, EVERYBODY OUT!" Eggsy shouted. And even though Eggsy had a rough appearance, he could be pretty damn commanding when he wanted to be. Everyone ran for the exit but there was no way in hell the two of them were gonna make it, so Eggsy just grabbed Fox and smashed through the window as the bomb went off. Eggsy covered Fox so she didn't get hit with any debris. Fox looked up at him, under her mess of hair once everything was a little settled. The duo stood up, did a spot check for injuries and made a run for it. They ran for a couple of blocks before they dove into an alley.

"She's got eyes on us, I'm convinced. Was anyone tailing us when we went in?" Fox said. Eggsy shook his head. "Did you get the laptop?" She asked. Eggsy pulled it out of his jacket, not a scratch, even after diving through a window. "Oh thank god, Eggsy I could kiss you right now!" Fox exclaimed with a grin.

"What's stopping you love?" Eggsy asked with a cheeky smirk on his face. Fox didn't even quip back with a remark or an eye roll. She just grabbed his collar and kissed him. It was short and simple, not prolonged by either half. Fox then let go.

"That was,"

"A one-time thing Eggsy." She said. The duo walked out of the alley and headed to Viper's place. Eggsy was confused how a street kid could live in a place like this. The duo jogged up to the floor where Viper lived. Fox knocked on the door. Teddy opened the door.
"Ted, is Vipes in?" Fox asked.

"Yeah, come on in." Teddy said he was going shut the door on Eggsy when Fox stopped him.

"He's with me." Fox said. Teddy nodded and let Eggsy in. Viper was working on his computer and looked up at Fox.

"Two days in a row you've been at my apartment this is more than-" He started to say.

"Save it Vipes, I need your hard drive scrambler program." She said. "And I need all your kids on the street to look out for Shea Jameson. She's got more people than we thought and I'm not going down without a fight." Fox said.

"I'll see what I can do about the kids. As for the program, I'd need payment for that." Fox rolled her eyes.

"No way in hell Viper, I was the one who gave you the idea for the program." Fox said. Viper threw his hands up in surrender.

"Alright, you've got a point." He typed some stuff into his computer and downloaded the program onto a flash drive and handed it to Fox.

"Thanks Vipes." She said as the two of them walked out. Eggsy turned and watched Fox as they descended the stairs of the apartment complex. Her hair really was a mess of brown curls that in certain lights looked black. It was short and choppy, like it had been done with safety scissors but it suited her. They hit the streets and started to walk down the street.

"Watch your six." Fox muttered in case someone heard her. Eggsy subtlety sent a glance over his shoulder.

"There is a guy in all black with gloves on him. Lump under his jacket suggests firearm." Eggsy said. "Jay walk, see if he follows us." He said.

"You act like I've never had someone tailing me." Fox replied as she ran across the road at top speed, with Eggsy not far behind her. The guy ran as well. "Shit we've got a tail and we need to lose him. Eggsy, you wouldn't happen to know how to roof jump do you?" Fox asked looking at Eggsy. Eggsy smirked as if to say "of course" Fox nodded. "On three, bolt. Split up, he can only chase one of us. Meet me in front of the apartment complex." Fox said. Eggsy knew this was a terrible idea but decided it was the only plan they had.

"One," Fox said.

"Two," Eggsy said.

"Three!" Fox exclaimed darting into an alley to her right as Eggsy just ran straight ahead. The man ran after Fox as she predicted. So she darted for the roof of the nearby building. It was of course not the most stable thing, but she had gained a sense of balance that was pretty impressive to every on looker that had seen it. She sprinted as fast as she could. She lost the guy when she was able to balance herself on a particularly slippery roof. He slid off and fell three stories. She wasn't certain if he was dead or be a mess of broken bones, but she didn't want to find out. So she ran for a flat roof and made herself to street level she ran to the apartment, even though she was quite of breath. Fox made to the apartment complex and saw Eggsy waiting for her. Eggsy had his arms out that Fox happily ran into. Eggsy caught her and held her as her breath came back to her.

"What happened to him?" Eggsy asked.

"He fell three stories." She said. Eggsy released her and checked for injuries. There were none that he could immediately see.

"C'mon, Roxy is most definitely worried about us." Eggsy said as they jogged up the steps. Sure enough when they came in Roxy ran over and hugged the both of them.

"Where the hell have you two been!? You've been gone all day!" Roxy exclaimed.

"Well first we stole a laptop," Eggsy said.

"Then the shop got blown up," Fox continued.

"Then we had to stop at Viper's to get the program,"

"Who was being a pain about it so it took some convincing,"

"Then we got tailed,"

"I led him to a roof where he fell three stories after giving chase."

"And now here we are." Eggsy said finishing their tale. Lydon and Apollo trotted over and nuzzled the two. Fox scratched them both behind the ear. Roxy rolled her eyes.

"I swear Eggsy, trouble just follows you." She said. "I'm going to sleep, we start working tomorrow." She said disappearing into Fox's room. Eggsy and Fox both looked at each other before they both went to the fridge and pulled out the bourbon out. Fox took a swig first and then passed it to Eggsy who took a swig.

"One hell of a day." Fox muttered.

"That's putting it lightly." Eggsy said with a chuckle.

"Thanks, for everything today." Fox said with a small smile. Eggsy smiled back.

"No worries love. Now c'mon let's get some sleep." Eggsy said putting the bourbon back in the fridge. He threw his arm around Fox and was surprised that it didn't get thrown off. He wrote it off as her being too tired to care. They walked over to the couch where Eggsy crashed first with Fox on top of him. He didn't know what else to do, so he just held her.

One time thing my ass. He thought.

A/N: PUT YOUR UMBRELLAS AND GUNS DOWN. While I understand why you have every reason to be mad at me you quiet crickets I have my reasoning for taking the world's longest time to update (and this isn't even my longest, ask Luna) Basically when I came back from New York, my tablet (that was school issued and I carried everywhere so it made writing convenient especially on google docs) broke and had got to get sent to the shop to be fixed. That took it out of commission for three weeks and then when I got it back it was exam season so I couldn't write and then I had to turn it in for the summer. So when it was returned to me I realized I started writing this when I still had it and since Luna isn't feeling so fantastic, I figured I'd get off my ass and finish this chapter for you. Thanks for all the follows and favorites even though you probably noticed when the last time I updated was. Things are only gonna get more interesting from here. Cheers to you guys my quiet crickets and I'll see you in ch8 (Hopefully it won't take me as long, I've missed these British idiots.)
