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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWp4pXfb3H
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCAuNN6EDQ
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbKng4Wzn
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE9R1EUOHV
He released her grip on him and stared.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpoxDC94Cs
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6w54ollDX
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NLTZsYtmf
“Just do as I say okay.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGtJRCRJq1
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO5KplMo8B
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0mfUoIULW
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNIJG66EXZ
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICPlzhCju4
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKaKRec65i
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TTvLk8Dg0
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWbvMQ0CN
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9JSANxVg8
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnulPAq58
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqapeg7Eq0P
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 “
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI7sE1fMkv
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuLrGE6F6k
“ Ironic Expression.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUoygnr66l
Penelope laughed.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCLUJGKEkg
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3KjyQ9Kll
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgg82AdPjM
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJMa2jmz90
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaLVRy9faq
“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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ7mEu97Gs
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgmX7r1L8d
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4pNBhc4pw
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7o4D3icuR
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkbDvw06oR
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILobEr3yTF
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLrvCekLdR
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV29g6XabX5
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3CXTfrCul
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCMM625rSu
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WvNmscr81
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWrGtrnfKg
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV0fKNNLgN
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GpISBstIX
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8d7tDEQBG
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7jzDbkZDm
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtevn1cX7Z
Neil shrugged.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSeTnP2iOb
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx649oriOZ
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAlxowm7D4
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLSy98bADd
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuEAsyDAOL
“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.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2atAQ8bqr
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.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLPPliuEmv
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0vIN8Yxr
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPlkUcKf44
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqbPPcOlgG
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnxPecJVHi
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UF6Cew9l8
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UrhLvpuaY
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAl09ZjKIu
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUKoMNfVb
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qKMTJZNm
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHA63K3RG7
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAoIk0yQ1s
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYmTW5GOX
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ASMcf0GEf
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd4VRZnugE
Jimmy grinned.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkLscL3Tzy
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2MCA0ioJC
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv61n6ZR4dE
“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.”
