Zoey SegretiWORD COUNT: 1,020 As Zoey drove through town, she passed a few of her old stomping grounds as she focused on where she was going. Her parentsโ old shop was near the Kingsman Tailorโs Shop and knew that it would probably be best to park there for the time being. The new owners of the old shop happened to be good friends of Zoey and had offered her a place to hang out if she wasnโt busy. โLetโs see if they are even here,โ she expressed as she slowed down a bit, slowly taking her time as she passed by the tailorโs shop.
It wonโt be long now before a group of โgoonsโ infiltrated the small shop, searching for anything and everything Kingsman. The young woman pulled up to her friendโs shop as she pulled her helmet off of her head, glancing at her watch. Thirty minutesโฆjust thirty minutes before the tailorโs shop would be โovertakenโฆthe young agent narrowed her eyes as she noticed a black SUV with tinted windows across the street. ~Here already? Isnโt it a little risky?~ she thought to herself as she flashed her lights on and off for a moment before fixing her hair.
โZoey? Zoey Segreti? Dang, girlโฆyou look amazing,โ a womanโs voice expressed as Jordan Taylor, an old friend of Zoeyโs, walked out of the clothing shop. Zoeyโs parents happened to be the famous fashion designers Aaron and Amber Segreti; granted that was only their disguise when they werenโt on missions for Viso.
Zoey smiled brightly as she turned around and hugged her friend tightly, noticing a few guys making their way towards the tailorโs shop. She would give them a few minutes to explore the building before the attack went into full effect. โJordan, itโs honestly sooo good to see you,โ she expressed cheerfully as the two of them made their way into her parentsโ old shop.
โI hear you came back just a few weeks ago and I also heard that you spotted a former crush of yours,โ Jordan teased as she gave the young blonde a gentle nudge against the arm. Before Zoey could get a word out, she heard rustling from behind some racks as Jordanโs boyfriend, Ryan, popped his head out.
โOi, look whoโs finally back where she belongsโฆhow have you been, Zoey?โ Ryan exclaimed cheerfully as he pulled the young blonde into a hug. Ryan used to be part of the big group that Eggsy and Zoey used to hang out with as teenagers. โWhat made you come back here? Italy not the best place for a singer like you?โ he questioned curiously, receiving a playful nudge from Jordan.
Zoey bit her lip as she rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment; her friends had always told her to go to America to become a singer. โHonestly, I missed all of you guysโฆyou two have been the first ones that Iโve gotten to hang out with,โ she confessed as she remembered trying to find Eggsy after she had performed, but he had vanished.
โHey, Iโm sure Eggsy is dying to talk to youโฆyou two had been so close before heโฆโ Jordan trailed off as she noticed the distant look on her friendโs eyes. When Eggsy kind of left without a word, the group had noticed how distant Zoey had become, not really wanting to do anything with her friend.
Honestly, the young blonde wish she could go back and tell herself to just enjoy lifeโฆthat Eggsy would be fine. โI saw him a week ago when I was performing at our old spot,โ she admitted as she played with her hair a bit before hearing some commotion outside. Crapโฆthose idiots had started things too soon, but she needed to stay focused.
โDo you guys hear that?โ Jordan expressed with concern in her voice as she made her way over to the door, glancing to see people running away from the tailorโs shop. Ryan made his way over as he gently pulled his girlfriend away from the door, narrowing his eyes.
Zoey knew she needed to stop those idiots before they got caught by someone who wasnโt from Kingsman. โYou guys need to find a place to hide; Iโll go get help,โ she ordered as she rushed out the door, disappearing into the alleyway. She could hear Ryan and Jordan calling out to her, but there was no time to explain. Within a few moments, she had quickly changed into a gray blazer with a white button up underneath; she was styling some gray pants to match her blazer.
~Showtime,~ she told herself as she made her towards the front door, looking like a completely different person. As she slowly pushed the door open, she noticed some of the โgoonsโ had weapons on them as they tried to make the old man talk. โHey, if you want to be tailored, you have to wait your turn like good gentlemen,โ she stated coyly as some of the guys turned into her attention, their eyes narrowed as they looked over her outfit.
Without giving them a chance to start questioning her, Zoey threw one of the hats at the guys before charging at them. He was taken aback by her speed as she elbowed him in the gut before upper-cutting him, making him stumble. The other guys blinked with shock as they watched this 5โ5โ woman take down their biggest guy; they glanced at each other before taking their chances with the woman, who seemed ready for them.
After about ten minutes of taking the guys out, Zoey panted lightly as she stood up straight as she glanced around at the destroyed tailorโs shop. She had gotten some pretty nasty cuts on her from the fight, but not as bad as the other guys on the floor. Her eyes sparkled with accomplishment, but her face looked concern as she made her way over to the older man. โAre you alright?โ she asked cautiously, her back turned to the door as she tended to the older man.
