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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6UnRQQ07z
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKlkWQaHMC
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j65ktOnjm
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3QSFXvPzZ
He released her grip on him and stared.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFRbPIz2Kt
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaewJBwVYWV
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiZ9rKA0Hr
“Just do as I say okay.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRoznZGKYr
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsB1Io2BkN
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo3a904zPq
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8CEXkLhlR
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhrwVQakT
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa13DBhwF7
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3cefVhB6C
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIRaacrL6c
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf8GGPM8Iq
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxhlXr26hG
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvJ53MlCNP
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 “
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7fFDCD6lu
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooYTZlz5fz
“ Ironic Expression.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4E0aqYuNT
Penelope laughed.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM7qhTqE3f
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5b9fwD7tB
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozeJJHCgOf
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwMqONgjuB
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLedzUsHNR
“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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1kSfXLrrl
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax93Sa7MJe
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjRHwS5Cvy
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85yIvgdqZh
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv9sag7zT4
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI748O0fbh
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdUNmu0YQn
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLl1vsB7rg
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnN3KWzKkm
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkUJNdeCo
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjsGfGMWCw
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvmjPOulZo
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmptaBzPN
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDKwcpujj3
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqrYwwIIn
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuZk5M4uYk
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxIpo7vps6
Neil shrugged.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsL7OAMZSj
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQNAAgQC39
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRt0xREG9M
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8805XMtIG
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3vEasGf73
“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.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9VrzuMB6W
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.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7MKxkL9oB
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KmVscB0aH
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUKbvoieUT
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGc1jcp97u
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHH7LmA1sV
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFqLGa67pQ
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6MQzFBsj
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvg3JwL6jm
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1a0ZwmRp6
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKawKokoqry
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ScmicM7V
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZtLlkgVJk
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs50DZuAhG
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS0NDTnU6K
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD4N9cTJET
Jimmy grinned.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFkpwT4svq
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqIIyTSWR
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPCsjRFce
“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.”
