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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZBoFU3Z8O
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa5b6yvcJu
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWz58SPmAr
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDQ3b0pb6w
He released her grip on him and stared.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGTn9Lvrp
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8UrSiVxGV
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGm9UgnqTL
“Just do as I say okay.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DsckNysO6
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtC97qpn0F
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwD2LJyc8H
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2mZzi9UPj
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8es4jCMC1N
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6MGl4AZKv
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2i8n3EJW
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzENBD5k4nc
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY68MKZVsei
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5yDTQAkT
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvnwcFRRKT
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 “
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrOTHZGaBg
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs5fDh4Ouj
“ Ironic Expression.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nEOhlalNH
Penelope laughed.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CeJNeqf4i
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q4c43N7Na
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77jJdBfgfw
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoL5RlDnGL
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjmfT0sHS2
“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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd14qzTUvO
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1SBmPSGlJ
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIa4VQe9Hl
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6exVVyh1Db
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuP8Gess98
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUHG7mIh1W
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGqXhDE6Pi
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA415u7Qlqb
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4fZ6YQFsa
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIr4lYWGY2
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN1MIC6lh6
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxyyB5uKGk
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnSzv6YEE6
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEAxavkSVh
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYrs9IdOIs
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFo0h6l7Ft
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafKHQF2793
Neil shrugged.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOtowRyREA
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxcXrQlT3Q
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEQHCEH44e
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MPNPfr5G
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMTyk97C8s
“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.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpeZ9ses4o
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cHkUY3m5U
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Id6kotueF
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkArqdM0QB
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSUpzCOPMQ
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtj3w9jFC
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rntc8uD8i
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1mwaAmsCK
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE6CLFlf9C
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZoSAhxZr
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4CaV3fPtx
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KiIHph4t
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWS6GDRG4X
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrM2B6491
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAcfnBJrT
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRDUObX8hi
Jimmy grinned.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZ1uioY9a
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qVNLwHQ9C
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mjAmN0yei
“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.”
