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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD7f2uzfwO
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWsiGWc0o8
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Xrd7jsEo
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUOFlBLZR0
He released her grip on him and stared.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvCaPZnBsX
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNCYbneIf6
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzn6YozWrF
“Just do as I say okay.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMhGbCpDIS
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfVmWeMVBS
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93vu52YwMx
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbb960E27V
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLiZNWnohv
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdiOQht4qm
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YBnpHhAfp
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVphVHzGot
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId5cwpBMwP
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwltBIsIUzH
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2zagUtcjc
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 “
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzshafyWvkR
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXJnJ2dURt
“ Ironic Expression.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJcpjtTOL
Penelope laughed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzbhiDoe9J
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsreVEefewj
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGOc7If1E
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PSVITY5on
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPkiWZPfl5
“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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjU3qyPNLf
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgV2hzpc0e
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dat9TYEtQ
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkj1ee2EhH
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hNYOIbk8c
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjdcSz4jWk
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MeTmaie6z
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RwZMRjKbB
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ggXHyrWZ
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNrhEEdYAh
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJPSETBBp
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4McGKNYn
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNLPPJiPlz
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDai8i3xNv2
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO5OknyA5A
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4GcRZrBYZ
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuNOGnJdSc
Neil shrugged.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oVTZiVJqv
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuAc56zvOL
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt5gcQk3z8
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhviRM2cyV
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljKHKSdVY2
“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.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6AJ6oG12
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI61amKvzrN
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLmsMCtRR5
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM0XYRJ798
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3il0JPbh3
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8WhZi44yU
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSw7dcFQM
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0VvQwc5c
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWRw4uhLK
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAG3tmmdla
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIurTCEPHnW
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAoBFRja8M
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aMLqrESM2
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRkZNEk2pG
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEcJtIdlg
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS2OqYnVFd
Jimmy grinned.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlSrMvhVjQ
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgzsbq8O2k
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthXIwB5P4
“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.”
