Four days but no word from Jimmy led Penelope walking to his house.

When she saw him, she was devastated. He looked like a madman; his hair was scattered and he looked dull. She never knew he could look like that.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZcHnyMGco
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuSN6TxFOs
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAURrTZ3VI
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSTNeo1rvC
He released her grip on him and stared.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6uBpctHEU
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5KEY4QaE
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZEmIPOu9d
“Just do as I say okay.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbby85p7L6
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIXhbEuE3o
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir4op4svZn
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9I7bPXWO3
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18hMUUdzFZ
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOtMHeP4gL
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaX8UNjohM
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ3rSr2X2P
“So are you gonna ignore me again, after depriving me of the due care because of what happened?” She asked. “Tell me Jimmy. Tell me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1eK1Mwold
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uur9pHpsn
“Fine. If you can’t do it for me, do it for Abigail. Who knows, you could find out the culprit and the real truth.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV6TXZ6ClG
Jimmy turned to her swiftly and she grinned.

Mr Roy sat expectantly formimg a steeple on his desk and leaning forward muttering prayers when the two people he expected walked in. he sprang up and cried. “ I am so disappointed you eventually decided to come “
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vsPaYpkaH
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVgfi3XuST
“ Ironic Expression.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsYP2Y7Iog
Penelope laughed.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwTRxG9IT
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj6I4qE1ZC
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQxLQQYi57
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE9S6D2qit
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajFZkr6N9s
“Now I’m here. So what’s the deal?”

The five of them sat round the table; Mr Roy, Penelope, Jimmy, Neil and the ever arrogant but smart Batton.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRj20IPJbp
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41HrSk9Nqd
“Well I don’t think it’s everyone,” Jimmy said, glancing at Batton. “But don’t worry, this is the last mission. I repeat Mr Roy, the very last.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVVj8R4ZE
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbQD87wcDZ
But he did. When Jimmy was still at work, they were both competing for the best. Jimmy was always far ahead and that was what spoiled their relationship. Earlier they had been friends. In fact, Batton was the one who talked Jimmy in to be part of the SF and now he regretted. Just when he thought he had no competitor anymore, Jimmy came strolling in and receiving praises. Ill-made relationship they say, was hard to cut off.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbnOMD8JcF
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCgFfWJh3m
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBTZ5eTmK0
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ48GRfh0qU
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABxx4hotZ3
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVoMPR7aFn
“Without your help, the SF found out that there is going to be a party at the leading hotel ballroom in two days and there will be an exchange of USB where a vital information we must get our hands on is,” Batton started proudly. “We also found the safe where the USB will likely be kept that night. So I don’t see any reason you were invited back.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfk5ijOqnI
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIjiuDbNZm
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSnR81IdRh
“That is where you will come in Jimmy. So far your record have never been beaten,” Mr Roy said. “You are all attending and participating in the mission but we need you to do the most dangerous part. Getting to the safe.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlWplQt2Rd
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqR3cFHmjd
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkODJkMtEz
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ojW60vXw
Neil shrugged.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyksnviLI95
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTJZv4FrBV
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOYyuJ6g27
“He is Mr Lewis, a multi-billionaire. An old money, his family is into glass,” She explained. “Our latest conclusion is that he is only a mere sponsor of the upcoming massacre and that is because he will make a profit from it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChH5YIuywp
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwBCYS188
“How about we do it this way? I will be the thief, Penelope will be the seducer, and Neil along with Batton will be the guards,” Jimmy suggested. “As for the pickpocket, I have someone in mind.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY8sSjMFDg
The car pulled in front of an old cottage. “Remain in the car,” Jimmy instructed and got down. He walked to the door and knocked on it softly. In some seconds, the door opened and someone stood in the doorway.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC0IDIn8uM
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5wvS6vjhj
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKreeSykiR
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23PKXenkoC
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWYvn9W9Wn
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmfxKnhDpl
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC7LtMb0Bm
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCq4eC0gEO
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeg33hqwmO
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Nkh8Z8V0
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKjqDJNyY
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZAx8pIAyT
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8riBlRwj6
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nRIbnH2lo
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3OzC7hfBz
Jimmy grinned.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzoMkc88Re
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yIN94rLw5
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNyaphDvp
“If I don’t survive, remember you are the one who made me do this,” Jimmy repiled sending a wave of fear mixed with shock to Penelope. Then he added, "Don’t worry,I’ll be fine.”
