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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXZbi7atC5
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohxo6oj1ho
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuHIHPTnij
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdIcOg1Tmn
He released her grip on him and stared.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjz2GbOK2H
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuXXSrlWp
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzEuNvWeC
“Just do as I say okay.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWj3wi72U
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0o2j6uPe
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FckPLFXjF
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvYsWUgl6
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgx5m3OMqS
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Y4qQ5fd5
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBVFrtR7Ft
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qmcyqjb70
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvowlyR7gAs
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOm31gpiPL
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rauX2lNXO
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 “
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0I6fC2fzR
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn3ujsHYsM
“ Ironic Expression.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwT1qaXJR
Penelope laughed.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUC0ok3zy
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUm95HMJAu
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgXpVOyADP
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHy8Ey18BR
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmwR5Poo44
“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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2zN9R5WlR
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFBR7SDwvD
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWomaCzPsQE
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoz9XjczG6
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf10HDRoOq
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxchjBxio6
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlSnBfbb0b
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9G3hhGfIX
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvJEM6WYGb
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSMaafLrcQ
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUAwIkPOc
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAHgeSQlnz
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlhmYWdHYU
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlCGyk0dNN
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLKPNpoOai
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqSe8YJEMK
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdIGLqMpdh
Neil shrugged.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhv4Ejjbh
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jmxbwZlp
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tV1W2qqk
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDMoiA0lrq
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98n2YYKkR
“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.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6fsPufet1
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.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ2XiUoroc
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hW1InOHbL
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCRczBvCJF
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScXl87z00w
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHOLyPYgL
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7syCWAg1p
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF55slkMjw
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t2Ll1ZoK7
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMHnCbe59C
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVFWqGr1Yl
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XTwctD2N2
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGKXtueQhD
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjUqYoi2En
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j0zXhp26S
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tyqmJfczP
Jimmy grinned.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZUkHKLAws
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7OCd906h
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzzQnFUymZ
“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.”
