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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5XQbSGONl
When he raised up his head to look at her, he lolled his head.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDP2Sh6Lxg
“Jimmy!” It was more than a scream. She ran to him and grabbed his face.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T2GfcbDqa
“What the hell happened to you,Jimmy,” She panicked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxGlSAiAeC
He released her grip on him and stared.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHnRGU8zAt
“Now get up and put on some clothes,” She instructed.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NmkGAvWNH
“Are you my girlfriend,” he asked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBABb9MMn6v
“Just do as I say okay.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHggTdPnhB4
Soon Jimmy was dressed with his hair tousled and they went to a restaurant. She ordered snacks and juices for them.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFloJLheAn
“Why did you return?” Jimmy asked. “Why don’t you guys just quit?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmsCQX5grN
“Mr Vlad has been sacked since last year October and Mr Roy
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNmzhPKUM9
is now Chief,” Penelope started. “He has been a good boss. Very reliable.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i51xIlAF8
“Why are you telling me all this now?” Jimmy asked.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90js3Yonf1
“Look Jimmy we need you even though you don’t know,” Abigail pointed out.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaVADCnOa8
“Well I don’t need you guys,” Jimmy repiled stiffly, looking away.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmQfx4ZsO0
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILBCmYBe9y
He didn’t answer. He had long stop blaming her in his heart but he felt guilty.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OaOuOlcyJ
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVBfFCKzf
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 “
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM2lrJXm4c
Jimmy raised an eyebrow. “ I.E?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIXiEwMQfN
“ Ironic Expression.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0tBQeTND9
Penelope laughed.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Da1tVXZE
“ You have not changed a bit, Mr Roy. You still use your intials for that?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5dCs4Mdr
“ You have not changed either,” Mr Roy answered. “ You still have your heaet. I feared you wouldn’t come!”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYR90IotCp
Jimmy glanced at Abigail. “Well, you sent the right someone and that someone got my weakness straight on point.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3xma0Cz4W
Abigail smiled and Mr Roy gave her a thumps up.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUQwxBoutl
“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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwrZtKCnRJ
“We are glad to have you back here Jimmy. We can’t hide out joy,” Mr Roy started.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeODJd4M49
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjoS3Vg5rJ
Batton scoffed and shrugged. “I don’t care.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vgbgf0GKi
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBug6MleZz
“No scuffles now please,” Penelope intervened and turned to Mr Roy. “Please begin.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Z8iluTzp
“So what’s the SF gotten so far?” Jimmy asked, deliberately taunting Batton. “It can’t be nothing since we have a smartie here.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpt9hPcm90
“Of course it isn’t nothing. May I do the honour of saying the information?” Batton looked at Mr Roy direction.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbeWThiLIt
“Sure,” Mr Roy repiled.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGScAf4v1a
Batton turned to Jimmy with a grin.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAFdiJstJ
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKliPFeuMY
Jimmy returned the grin.”Well it must be something important that you are so useless to do. How about that?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DNJTg0XRg
Batton flushed angrily but kept his calm.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKK5OGXzLx
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MerwbVl8K
Jimmy chuckled. “So you brought me in to pass a death sentence to me?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkrzUqFnC
“We are all under a death sentence passed unto us by God but we don’t just know the day of execution,” Neil said.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXslGpg69v
Jimmy turned to him. “So you are acting the pastor now?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbSDzkchQ
Neil shrugged.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCYJxOlyX1
“You know something Neil, I will use your words against you someday,” Jimmy said and turned to Mr Roy. “So who’s the receiver?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIG5qIwQce
Mr Roy turned to Penelope.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc5KNNp1tU
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwrRldKtB9
Mr Roy completed the explanation. “So we need five people for this job; the thief, the pickpocket, the seducer and two guards.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvUtj0eDDK
“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.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYwZLoxcG
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.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunY57o5Ix3
“Hey Robin. It’s been a while,” Jimmy said.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ36V1A6h0
“Hey my pal Jimmy,” the person repiled. “Come on in.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO31cGzOB1X
Jimmy walked inside. He sat while Robin prepared coffee for them.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzawrx234Ml
“Here,” Robin said giving Jimmy a cup.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU6fffU3v7
Jimmy accepted it. “Thanks.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab255NlQV1
Robin sat. “So what brings you here jimmy? Or should I say what favour do you want to ask for?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQlqHx66i
Jimmy grinned. “Well since you know, I will go straight to the point. I do need a favour.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBR8LMIG1M
“I knew it! You seldom stop by for any other purpose. So what’s it?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAXGF4UPAp
“I have a mission from the SF,” Jimmy started.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15FsEF9U8W
Robin lifted an eyebrow. “You back there?”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHRuIknqfi
Jimmy nodded. “I am on a last mission. I need you to be the pickpocket.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Af5hVHLG0
Robin friendly look faded away. “I am done with that part of my life.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapEb9VRhDc
“Please Robin. Take this as the last favour.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnnYlpGcOT
There was a moment of hesitation. “It won’t be the last favour but you own me one.”
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1z1tJ3mzO
Jimmy grinned.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBje4bgYrq
“He agreed,” Jimmy announced when he got back into the car.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7G1UxCyTI
“Jimmy, you are doing the most dangerous of the mission. Stay safe,”Penelope said with concern.
255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCDHSs3UQm
“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.”
