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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYnlpxq3A
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXLkOOf3vf
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsDsIKYLWZ
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYszLV5zV
He released her grip on him and stared.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcIXyHNE9J
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQxIlxn5N
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C8fKMS7VJ
“Just do as I say okay.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWty8eEJ2k
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ2o8SB0hm
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35fiIc3mni
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVgLp3SekN
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNlYHmBSgB
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRlT3OUD9i
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZTHoPEvv
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt9UwLW9w7
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx3gzvyAn8
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs9Jr1VhJt
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQUtsBAoDk
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 “
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QPj8zfurt
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAmaQSLgIJ
“ Ironic Expression.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbX7R89nq3
Penelope laughed.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dDkFlcfaQ
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVpAm2Sddk
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsQaZk4N3J
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswK4VmOK4U
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmIYFCBQI
“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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvyeadvASX
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafJ2cq6aYl
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ5x81hcs6
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwomFOzVEVP
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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHswcuJORlU
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu3FTZWjvd
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlsjfy03XN
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHcfqBIoMR
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSKgxXbpai
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS6TceNsJl
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0D1BYv6qC
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfoF7HZaRA
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWk7qeHzRO
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijQ2KVYQ83
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtwXv2FWG
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC97ohgqZz
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGoUjpNw95
Neil shrugged.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjFZsHLVlB
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRjFAHom1V
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoLG4cqU4a
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDNvF2pq1q
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyHoYkl89
“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.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD79FZoNhG
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.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXeowNLiyd
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dDoiL2GTc
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4INb0rgzJ
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FqntTn6Pk
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKIGTRRaY0
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aud2V4PUJ
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX0l2b6DG6
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58btw0S9Wp
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoboG6cXOYS
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZPSHEZ0Xp
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc2Q8XNKgs
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys6wO4aMqW
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGMQ8OksEn
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ6fWw5HrN
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRIcteEF0R
Jimmy grinned.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVRiZIbm3v
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1qFyNFW7Z
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8CxpmetZS
“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.”
