It took two days for things to be sorted enough for Harry Devere to ping on the Kingsman's systems.
Everyone had been handling somewhat more important things for those two days. A lot of people were dead. A lot more were injured. Even more than that were deeply traumatised by the maiming, murdering and mayhem which had ensued while the signal was broadcast.
And even when they weren't, no one had been expecting the ping. Harry's final footage had been graphic, staring at the barrel of the gun, the sound of firing and then the cut transmission. There were plans, of course, to eventually recover his body for burial but they were far from a priority.
Until Harry Devere pinged the system.
Harry Devere, admitted to the ICU of the Livingston Hospital in Kentucky seven hours before V-Day went live. He survived that by the luck of being in a sealed ward, away from people who viewed him as an actual person worth attacking.
Merlin was busy holding down the fort and being Merlin. Therefore, he told Charles to take whatever damn plane he wanted and get to Kentucky and get Harry into the safety of the Kingsman medical facility as fast as he could. He was given a passport which said he was Charles Devere, Harry's younger brother and paperwork which claimed the legal right to make decisions for his unmarried brother in the absence of parents.
All of these things were delivered with the instruction that no one was to know Harry Hart was alive. Not until they knew he would stay that way and not until he was back with them, awake and some reasonable semblance of the man they knew.

"Of course he is," she humoured him. "Still be nice to him and try and keep calm."

Date: 2016-06-07 07:54 am (UTC)Harry had always needed to be admired, be needed. And if Charles was willing to put on the pretence of needing the company...
"Hence, Marlin sent you here."

The nurse adjusted some medications and drips. "That should help. If he's not feeling better in the next ten minutes, just call again."
