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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFxlsIUmKe
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0XhE91x6Z
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvdi93I3K3
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqGe2WC3eM
He released her grip on him and stared.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU2u85Wg8J
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO4eGFiXll
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWXRsZTKf
“Just do as I say okay.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbhj0lb4YV
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivi0iwf8GX
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86wvYuQYx
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VNYgMjRAV
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfvVgxNW7f
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExkBOeI0x1
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyp234Ant
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Pt2yeBv6
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBQt4bqwO0
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz1aHWiPfp
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt7bSng0GC
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 “
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmBrkZVeg
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMi5Sfc90r
“ Ironic Expression.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfKE6j39O8
Penelope laughed.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiWt7yMcTP
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfraIWiysg
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK4BaP5ihP
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VfJnQk1gq
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwTLcnAFpA
“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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXM6xmZku7
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEq9X1XxhW
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYrsnaymog
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrAYUXT9og
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR8bopu0Rd
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws496H4WuK
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe6sNz6e5k
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoL2Fs9dgf
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBDvZ1aBlW
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7hKzCfTdR
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvwPkmYwE0
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGApgVTAsbf
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYYam1aJPa
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRCLhI3Zv1
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSkkUkgC7
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRAmvafHb
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi29KxOQdq
Neil shrugged.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHwo61lWq4
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15t7jeyrKD
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BKPXcEGxk
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h1TIU565E
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4RbTKU9rz
“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.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhGFG5amT4
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.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqmQIRfR4o
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavFouK0ukE
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ncGtEYqV
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NRmBmuhQ2
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirp4fgE87X
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgZBflnCUi
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImsOWzkTfO
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumz4zfvMxc
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjtGedoBwG
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uEFSGGpIi
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfxVeRqSKJ
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGJfG8EK9
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yEE2p8bys
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZ7uzMnTV
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx6afKKFy0
Jimmy grinned.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LqATALttx
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAZ7zqRH9o
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBH3QfoNUB
“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.”
