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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAimVyDVScLc
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXi22MJK5aT
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9ZqJsfze2
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9X3E3traQi
He released her grip on him and stared.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcjgr4DGG1t
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAv8BrTnEVcJ
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAt34uriZMFS
“Just do as I say okay.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7goW2U2qN3
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0cAdRdPWHw
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhVe6Y86LvU
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGdrW1kh9T5
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9RdY7VM8g
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAn7y8WoQFSX
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAp3z1H51eVZ
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
377Please respect copyright.PENANADfLy8SHIbg
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVBthTbZKDh
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAdpuUqM5CHo
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANALt8apSvM48
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 “
377Please respect copyright.PENANAl5bBPaK7KZ
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAV3IuazWOc8
“ Ironic Expression.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw8TdvmNrR2
Penelope laughed.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAe4EigeQNaQ
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAC2lw908yCF
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANABrYBTldKrT
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAI8XmT0JYni
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMqnBLLm7MV
“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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAlrM37qpPac
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQXDd3UvJ0e
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAo6Wm7C0Dh4
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtKyfebc3RI
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAX3z79fd5Zn
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9nvJucoeGL
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPQm2HdHpKr
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
377Please respect copyright.PENANALLKum94XQW
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQklTr3cSMa
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
377Please respect copyright.PENANASiSIuKRrQZ
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMiHai59KOp
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiFRhMFz1Cd
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuCrzFla959
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6UpHroFC1l
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAt1JKjwZTZy
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAE34KIqSXQO
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgHASj7pxap
Neil shrugged.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuxOBBTxz0C
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgyPHlmR9Ss
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAdV1ifZRoMm
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7dIsUSSX4w
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAapqCj06Ody
“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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA59G1X2bQg4
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPJKwsI09Lq
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
377Please respect copyright.PENANANTiQ82yVJP
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkmQSi9XanK
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgBereYfU8G
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqOuSb27vXg
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKgxQelnQ4L
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAx9OEDx2Ml2
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8VlJdPUdBD
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtGlR1FODzK
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAK0IlT3Hf6k
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANATDhTKCSIIY
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAo9zFhZNMNO
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAs3FOV3TvLZ
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoPPf3x8zeO
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqvHFeA8z6k
Jimmy grinned.
377Please respect copyright.PENANARYfZrSkKqz
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsxvHtgq6LJ
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
377Please respect copyright.PENANALmmH0uR63M
“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.”
