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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXks1b3frp
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGF43hlo7f
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx9QfzkLGg
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNxuOEl7oR
He released her grip on him and stared.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCgoseC9jm
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVhyaLx6Sd
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0UzH09FHh
“Just do as I say okay.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqFKZ6ris
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAT62TxHX4
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuLWth9BXb
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzXh5DliyX
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXSkJkQMc
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz4Irkipju
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgYymNLRP0
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOBWh8A1iX
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXaVWX3Juj
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxihRHydf0n
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CePiS1zf6
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 “
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3rA3i2niL
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b7sHsig8X
“ Ironic Expression.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0L9vdBQdc
Penelope laughed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWkF4hkPGd
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EU7TWE2B7
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAnosMZ4YX
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySaQh3Kcmv
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPLTXLI5bV
“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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oVEPlHwPq
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQGfHdQLiJ
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDNSncNGUs
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4drbOqlQf
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJ7uzFpy4
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0e3TxCCFn
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HiYvjWIb0
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyJ31fJOod
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4mJgpJx8p
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDv7Iq7SE1
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFxv7oZUBt
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMrW0heBli
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDEVyZMRm9
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMFjIyxV3c
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRVu9ztkul
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSG1WyCQgk
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc6Cr8fkfY
Neil shrugged.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0d24qamDp
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQDU9IU8vp
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6MzEiv30n
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7TBmb86QP
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEbcqgt6vB
“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.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKgjj21H9
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k37MJKUM7
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBsxjLvl3k
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEuJnEh7Sz
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpY6hc3yHO
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYm6JhX17
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2bRBqKgn3
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaWU52lYb
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jz3s2GvV
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aWVdG3DHg
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq4KRGgFb0
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4lTjLgGfd
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK0sOjWn4s
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZetGm91HjO
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJTl7TzWS
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJi485vE9G
Jimmy grinned.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiOBqBfx71
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPNGM14gHi
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9gNzFWIQz
“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.”
