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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdDMYTelKu
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEKBkdIour
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQikZ75MJS
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrqe5DxpMY
He released her grip on him and stared.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡescjoJYHfe
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeoBa2DmoM
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOccURZZo0S
“Just do as I say okay.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5IkN7L7ui
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpWFTpD3S
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOLR7PNSdm
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g4mpD1VPZ
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurfep5KotJ
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdGsU707LQ
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCVDo6ZNkV
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjZnw9lS2e
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvesmEZ0gZ
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHGm0MAHWW
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25AJKH3mOw
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 “
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X27DWCamI
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOtoXHadFs
“ Ironic Expression.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsi3BcqUkz
Penelope laughed.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnlH4dFKB4
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMfTWrjiSY
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc26ABHRy0
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNIoEqbBbL
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDjPhm3Eb
“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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1uvWvvREQ
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RCSynfh4X
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfeR4fTfXN
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0hzUlPELf
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5SnZlQJZ8
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0C2wo6UWZ
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iGelYSkZn
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hu3Zgc8vy
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyFP6wr1nd
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthggaemP1p
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NY0PtSXK1
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcWaiMuXPA
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbpho7MQD
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg2O0u1Q9P
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKQisW84o
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0E5JJPlfY
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwMO0v4REx
Neil shrugged.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSbgV41Bb
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVciZDAa9E0
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIuX7PGYFT
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbVs0XrdVL
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMQ9Jnt9J5
“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.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLprI5EgXs
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.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu810enuqY4
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPymiqCzj0
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaHVI7QUne
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezlBJOJn6X
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4HIGMrkM
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrbjhrrEg
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7BDHhcwMR
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM2DrTDuDK
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84UfGz2SUR
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jMz20N82i
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTB6FZVGKS
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEfYWD4zk1
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetRKxzBNp9
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6shVAwjnDm
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXeHVR5T4B
Jimmy grinned.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRcYY43onZ
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtocvto3728
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhKwqqYul3
“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.”
