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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmZifLKSIh
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMYkh0GB1
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAE9rNFPUm
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGnNxu1aFR
He released her grip on him and stared.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84PbLJ57V
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCVF2TDJWY
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjipRmk7hC
“Just do as I say okay.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLP1DvFyX3
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW8dwwflOW
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2wT1B2my
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ1gJWrnN4
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jb7ViTxej
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7xNlda3Qw
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok3A0cVDrl
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOK4BW4Sfb
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz7uDz6EFW
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfRvTX7eqQ
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71dAhNTR5v
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 “
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPoBAIFMjB
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoc3EmPBWl
“ Ironic Expression.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBquRaBAB2
Penelope laughed.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5lxt7Cp7d
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WeMipTA3l
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPiEULzB7a
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVBvAl7IS4
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcwLeBTF6n
“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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIQR8F47fm
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UoVObR0q
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrvsidphXE
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmTiG9SdCu
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDUVpU6yJo
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7YSMMX33U
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO8cm83OJX
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT9kSjVO3A
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSqszJBzam
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C54JFG5Rc
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGyERjdl1v
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJ5RBn7sq
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7mSgDZvr
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sqVtN9gbX
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq5V7j1NKk
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGNfHbXIBf
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwGsVRTFn
Neil shrugged.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHNGrMENBc
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbToFO6roFc
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwznBbEOiyM
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn7tG7or3y
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeYIIsXAaN
“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.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtHBLCD8LC
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpYtJIFs6R
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8W5BQewvI
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F3RNz68Bd
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6zQAtT7JK
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEhL1EZslZ
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESGRm2wPv1
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTxv3b1nWp
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvhAljxDe
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboxNILBboQ
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusqYTaS6qM
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcN62VEfBn
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIW3DBIFq8
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwTeTo9gIS
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9d9Y7St5R
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcTqdCpXyn
Jimmy grinned.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeVBuNfNjo
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhKbs7XQ24
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zuz0pRElT
“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.”
