[It may be late into the night, but it's not so late that there aren't a few people still out and about, people who could end up dead if he doesn't do his job right. Plenty of missions involve some risk of civilian casualties, and they're always expected to prioritize keeping those numbers at a low. Honestly, Eggsy does what he can to keep it at zero, because his job already involves killing -- he doesn't need to add that kind of guilt onto it.
(Then again, what could ever surpass his first mission? So many people tore each other apart even in the small amount of time that Valentine's signal was active. And Eggsy has been told that it would have been so much worse if he hadn't succeeded, but it doesn't always feel like much of a victory.)
Roxy's got a better shot at the pursuing vehicles in the back seat, but it also means that it will be easier for them to shoot her, and so Eggsy is determined to get this sorted as soon as possible. He hears one of the SUVs as it crashes into a wall, even catches a glimpse of the wreckage in his rearview mirror, but they've got a few more to go.]
I'm trying! [He hisses the words back to Roxy as he drives like an absolute madman, hands slipping on the steering wheel as he searches for another confusing maze of streets to tear through. Thankfully, London has its fair share of those. Soon enough he's whipping the car through a series of tight turns. Struck with a bit of inspiration from another car chase he'd been in, after rounding one corner he suddenly puts the car into reverse and floors it, sending them backward in the other direction down the alley.
If they're lucky, that will confuse at least a few of these idiots. It also puts Roxy out of harm's way for a bit, which Eggsy considers a plus.]
