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.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdlMlT8RsU
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgPvqAQF4u
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObTT6tmNLS
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcxYcPaqmV
He released her grip on him and stared.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz2sy3kKTM
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQWzFAMir0
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHG1gLeQzq
“Just do as I say okay.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsg13Po1Xs
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9QdIIy0YR
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBtytegX5e
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZKEPeMSjl
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdSrzu2sJ
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgl2ZkmVEP
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnyoDLcGXl
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMExXtdilpN
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ578SYtTuas
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNARVa3z5M
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlC3TN8fe9
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 “
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UHOe0Dxw
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkjXPxMWN6
“ Ironic Expression.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYck5GQ1nhJ
Penelope laughed.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJCTL3y5q
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPZ1YWKtzA
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35hC6tW4E6
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx46RwP6DVV
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaCbPIhlal
“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.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrAyFWmffX
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82s1Q9Oqwc
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ5ZBIuCAC
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf48zsL31Q
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.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot3P3y5cmp
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGknJXHiVVp
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZhwY1aov5
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkpnvbbufj
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWXk710xAn
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nJhR1mACQ
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry2A60jTl8
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPUnGetqy
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VbBF5No1v
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9uH3I1gU4
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyKaE7N8iH
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7tGoVyyhc
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHlcHAIIma
Neil shrugged.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleWPykkgT3
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxinMtRud8h
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBHxp30Ff
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUf01fl1xd
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxsLqWWei
“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.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjNNVNqYsI
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.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIipahSA88L
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8lRbAoWGj
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN9vESkJ61
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWARvMBAiSu
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq9XaQ4MtW
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANkgFLUxHe
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjnHP7lyJ2
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxahqp33OD
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoqI1zzVbT
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj9sMtPA80
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRJq0gyDjd
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF18yBy0Rp
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z92XSpWYk
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplx6Ot6lQ
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIchVhS8Zq
Jimmy grinned.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY1eV9MPeL
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXgbkw6ycd
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqHTeiUYfa
“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.”
