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.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf74kQsakVC
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkFaPLuO9h
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg11HilJqAo
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Liv7wja1
He released her grip on him and stared.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9tM8m3YET
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqEAfs4S5
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWhLOlSb6D
“Just do as I say okay.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RgMxLl3Xd
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtKkQqF9N
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxbW3JCOBw
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQvlYFt3sr
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zrxj74xXc
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiOezpRSor
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDU9b42eW
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMYANm6hCY
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5PiSAjzOH
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTVRMCgIM
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRd33Epu9M
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 “
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9KQneRIc
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSXPDoNnQ
“ Ironic Expression.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1E4OLkvNZ
Penelope laughed.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWsUuuGf80
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKkMXqEld
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyBQ3o2VzG
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ak33ASI9
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpGRWi6wVJ
“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.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrAE0ZmwZ8
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6W8btd13C
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnlyx74KRX
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLFwvtBsqG
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.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbHcQfJxM
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2DQrIHj8I
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4heWjwMXkG
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrwzHUJXkf
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pJkphjfSg
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhlFKxroq
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNd4PFH39j
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XceKOKUWJ
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldNc9tpHVQ
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AzwS4xrMd
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgmerG19TQ
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF7e8b8wd5
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFm0ipykyE
Neil shrugged.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1NtFfOp30
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnkSYX3haq
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGnYhRHjbI
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeeSC2quEw
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiSusaDz0r
“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.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELSNOx9QmD
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.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gbTNWWtwI
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSvHzH6eSJ
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95v6TaDx23
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YvlKwvsB5
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Vua9kwFt
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKhmGaJhc
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxaeyIhvnj
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTLGOX1BaA
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MpndWhsyu
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLsp5hJFk4
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud7kG3RUXx
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGqaGtWLUh
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40xpvFvTaU
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGPVaRVgMm
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYIS7szDw
Jimmy grinned.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkO0iGtMbx
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQXUBzLkC
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tUZIiJyH
“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.”
