Eggsy didn't have to say anything, because Merlin did.

"Mission report. Now."

"Yes," Coulson said, looking at her for a few moments. "No trouble on your vacation, I hope?"

Harry tersely repeated what happened at the gala to Merlin. Even just recapping the evening made him angry.

"Not at all," Valerie replied. "It was nice. I hadn't seen my sister in a while, it was good to catch up with her."

Merlin was quiet for a few moments before he nodded once. This wasn't over yet, but first he had to focus on recovering the agent, especially since she wasn't really field-trained.

"Inside. We've got work to do."

Coulson nodded. "When will you be seeing her again, do you think?" he asked, tilting his head just a little as he watched her.

Harry nodded once and followed Merlin inside. The faster they managed to find Valerie, the better.

"No idea," Valerie said, shaking her head a little bit. "Our lives don't exactly align." She looked at him. "Why?"

Unfortunately for them, the people who had grabbed Callie were experienced, and had moved her almost immediately. Even the trackers in her clothes didn't lead to anything, making Merlin very pissy.

"Just making sure you're not thinking of jumping ship after your vacation," Coulson said with an easy smile.

Harry was getting just as pissy. The false leads were frustrating him, and the days were slipping away without anything to show for it.

"I did come back," Valerie pointed out.

Merlin was very frustrated, and after a week he made a hard decision. Of course they were going to keep looking, but next of kin had to be notified as well.

"And promptly got bombarded by Clint," Coulson pointed out dryly.

"Yes, well, that's hardly my fault," Valerie replied, unable to fully suppress a grin. "I sat down and he came out of the ceiling."

"Exactly," Coulson pointed out. "He makes even seasoned senior agents run for the hills. Thus, checking to make sure you won't be joining the ranks."

Valerie shook her head.

"Takes more than that to scare me off, sir," she said. She couldn't help a slight smirk.

"Good." Coulson smiled a bit. "You'll have a few days to get back into the swing of things, barring any more world-ending instances, so use the time wisely."

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Valerie said, smiling. She paused for just a moment. "Do you always personally welcome agents back from vacation, sir?"

"Only the ones that work with me regularly enough." Coulson's smile was faint, but the way he was watching her was deceptively mild.

"Okay," Valerie said. She kept her expression the same, but inside she was squirming just a bit. First Natasha, now Coulson? Clearly, she wasn't playing Callie perfectly enough and needed to up her game.

A week later, Merlin was forced to concede some kind of defeat and call "Callie" to tell her the news. Not that they'd given up the search, oh no. Just that he had to give her some kind of warning, just in case.

"This is Simmons," Valerie said as she braced the phone on her shoulder so she could keep tapping on her keyboard.

"My name is Merlin, I'm calling from Kingsman Tailors," Merlin said without preamble. "I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news for you."

Valerie's heart skipped a beat when she heard Merlin's voice and she stopped typing immediately. There would only be one reason Merlin would be calling 'Callie.'

"What happened to my sister?" she asked.

"I'm afraid she's missing," Merlin told her. "All measures are being taken, the authorities are aware and looking for her."

"Missing?" Valerie asked. "She has a desk job, what happened?" She didn't care that she might be giving Merlin more information than she wanted him to know, her sister was more important.

"I can't give you the details at this time," Merlin told her. "I can tell you she was assisting one of our more seasoned agents, and things went unexpectedly sideways."

Of course. Things always went sideways.

"Where was her last known location?" Valerie asked, already pulling up the necessary software on her computer.

"We're already looking into it," Merlin told her gently. "We're monitoring everything, we have people on the ground over here. We will find her."

Merlin's lips flickered in a little grin. Ah yes, this he was familiar with.

"Oh I heard you, lass," he answered. "You just stay on your side of the pond and let us do our jobs."
